Glenn Beck is shocked and offended that people would actually compare other people to Nazis

[ck4829]

Recently, Glenn Beck has claimed to be outraged that a new Arizona immigration law that requires people to carry proof of citizenship is being compared to Nazi Germany. Comedy Central's Lewis Black is even more outraged, since he believes Beck is a hypocrite.

Last month on his Fox News show, Beck attacked opponents of the controversial Arizona law for using such imagery: "You're out of your mind. Are you comparing the systematic, cold-blood extermination of millions of Jews to America making sure that people are here legally? Arizona sure is putting the "az" in Nazi, aren't they?"

"Glenn Beck is offended!" announced Black Tuesday night. "Glenn Beck thinks playing the Nazi card is going too far. Glenn Beck. this is a guy who uses more Swastika props and video of the Nuremberg rallies than the History Channel."

Beck once compared concerns about global warming to Nazi Germany's persecution of Jews. "That was Hitler's plan-- his enemy: the Jew. Al Gore's enemy, the U.N.'s enemy: global warming," Beck said on his radio program April 30, 2007.

"I'm not accusing Al Gore of being a Nazi or anything like that," Beck later claimed.

"Yes, you are! You just did it!" exclaimed Lewis Black.

Black went on to recall numerous examples of Beck using Nazi imagery. "It's six degrees of Kevin Bacon, except there's just one degree, and Kevin Bacon is Hitler," joked Black. "It works for anything."

On the National Endowment for the Arts, Beck once said, "Advocating through art is known as propaganda. You should look up the name Goebbels."

On teaching kids about climate change, Beck once said, "Some may believe we're on the road to the Hitler youth."

Speaking about ACORN, Beck remarked, "These are the Brownshirts."

"It's what happened in the national socialist country of Germany in the 1930s under Hitler," Beck said of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).

And regarding the Peace Corps, Beck commented, "This is what Hitler did with the S.S."

1. Beck may not, but I know a NAZI when I see one.

Plain as the smirk on Beck's face, actually.

[no limit]

7. Cause if I know anything about Nazis is that they leave after their 8th year on the job

as required by the constitution.

10. Did they leave? What about Cheney's Stay-Behind Network?

Seymour Hersh wrote about the bureaucracy, riddled with officials loyal to BFEE. Happened to Jimmy Carter, whose CIA was overshadowed by the Safari Club.

As for NAZI Justice, ask Gov. Don Siegelman or the former head of Qwest Communications.

11. You're right. Thats exactly the same as a nazi. My apologies.

2. Wait, I just realized! Glenn Beck is a sociopath! Hitler was a sociopath!

See, don't you get it! Damn, where's a chalkboard when you need one...............?

3. One of Lewis Black's best ever!

The segment was hilarious. At several points, Black had to wait for the laughter to subside before he could continue.

4. Nazi tourettes

Beck is obsessed with Hitler. He sees him everywhere all the time.

[peekaloo]

5. There are none so blind as those who can Nazi.

Suck it Beck.

[lunatica]

8. Nice one

You're so cool!

6. And Beck loves playing the hypocrite game...

I think he loves that his "fans" can't tell the difference when he plays with their heads as an "entertainer"...

Like his recent "pledge of non-violence" page to make him sound like a peacemaker like MLK...

which flies so much in the face of earlier "stunts" like his on the air "wondering how he could kill Michael Moore"...

9. It works like this...

he gets offended when OTHER people use the reference.
