Disgusting: Glenn Beckk compares dead Norway teenagers to Hitler Youth.

[FarLeftFist]

Glenn Beck, the leading Right-wing American broadcaster, has prompted outrage after comparing the teenage victims of the Utoya Island massacre to the Hitler Youth.

Beck said that the Labour party youth camp on the island, where 68 people were murdered, bore "disturbing" similarities to the Nazi party's notorious juvenile wing.

Beck, a multimillionaire darling of the Tea Party movement, said on his nationally-syndicated radio show: "There was a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like, you know, the Hitler youth. I mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics? Disturbing."

Torbjørn Eriksen, a former press secretary to Jens Stoltenberg, Norway's prime minister, described the comment as "a new low" for the broadcaster, who has frequently been forced to apologise for offensive remarks.

"Young political activists have gathered at Utoya for over 60 years to learn about and be part of democracy, the very opposite of what the Hitler Youth was about," he told The Daily Telegraph. "Glenn Beck's comments are ignorant, incorrect and extremely hurtful."

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, a Washington-based campaign group, said the remark by Beck, a free agent after being forced out of the Fox News channel earlier this year, was "absolutely disgusting".

1. The man has no shame or humanity.

Glenn Beck is the product of a failed life.

[AmericaIsGreat]

2. I'm going to live long enough to hear "Glenn Beck died today."

And I won't be saddened in the least.

[Mz Pip]

4. Sadly, I probably won't.

And it's an annoying thought.

I do not understand how anything this man says is worth the millions and millions he makes. He has not done one honest or decent thing that I can recall. And yet, people pay him for his obnoxious and hateful opinions.

[redwitch]

3. He has officially outdone himself with this one.

"Absolutely disgusting" pretty much sums him up.

[theHandpuppet]

5. What a sick, hateful man he is

Sometimes I wish there really was an afterlife so I could find some comfort in that vile persons like Beck and Limbaugh would finally get their due.

[aquart]

6. Does he still spew for Fox?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. What I want to say about Glenn Beck would get me in legal trouble, so I won't.

Use your imagination.

[mr blur]

8. Thsat would the Glenn Beck who supports the Tampa Liberty School?

"This part time summer camp will meet from 9am to noon on July 11-15 at the Paideia School in Temple Terrace. Kids aged 8-12 years old will have fun while learning the principles of liberty, free markets, and limited government. They will also learn the values of personal responsibility, faith, courage, hard work, reverence and thrift."

[renate]

10. good point

He really is subhuman. I simply do not understand why his viewers aren't permanently offended by his vile comparison. If he'd been talking about the camp before the massacre--if those poor innocent kids hadn't been slaughtered--I could kind of see how Beck's viewers could just nod and go along with that statement, but how they could stand to look at his nasty face after he maligned murdered children, with a complete lack of sympathy or humanity, is beyond me. I guess they must be pretty damaged themselves.

9. We got him

If we press this issue we can get Beck removed from the airwaves for this.

[Fumesucker]

14. Flood his advertisers with calls and emails protesting this obscenity.

That's really the only way it can be done, it also happens to be the way he was taken off Fox in the first place.

22. He's on radio only now, is that correct?

And his website has doubleclick ads, which belongs to Google. I'm sending an e-mail to [e-mail] to make him aware of this.

If anyone knows of a better way to contact Google about that, let me know.

16. +1

[RagAss]

11. Children..ripped apart by bullets !...Where the fuck am I living that would give...

this fucking scumbag a voice ?

[Glimmer of Hope]

12. He is an embarrassment to this country.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

13. on the one hand, stuff like this shouldn't go unanswered

on the other, giving him attention only spreads his hate further. I don't know if the media should continue to do so. Let him disappear into web-only obscurity.

[RamboLiberal]

15. Dupe to earlier GD threads

17. Horrible, but to Glenn, if he doesn't like you, then you are Hitler, a Hitler youth, or a Hitler fan

[jberryhill]

18. But who WOULD politically indoctrinate children?

Hmmm... let me think on that....

[XanaDUer]

19. Bastard.

20. My God, when you think they cannot stoop any lower

here they come again. This poor-excuse-for-a-human-being need to be sequestered away from decent people. My outrage knows no bounds. :mad: :puke: :mad: :puke: :mad: :puke: :mad: :puke:

21. Dreckkk is the one who is truly disturbed

Sociopathic rightwinger (in)human who has a black hole right where his heart ought to be.

[FourScore]
