If liberals want respect they need to start showing respect.

I frequently do not agree with Glenn Beck, and I don't agree with his likening the liberal Jewish voting block to "radicalized Islam" (I don't agree with likening any group to that), however for liberals to be OUTRAGED about his remarks takes a special kind of hypocrisy known only to liberals.jillan Donating Member (1000+ posts) Wed Feb-23-11 08:57 PM

That's it, I am Jewish and I have fucking had it with Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck Smears 35 Percent Of American Jews
February 22, 2011 6:04 pm ET by Jeremy Schulman
Last month, 400 rabbis signed an open letter from Jewish Funds For Justice to Rupert Murdoch requesting that Glenn Beck be sanctioned for his false claims that George Soros collaborated with the Nazis.
Today, rather than apologizing, Beck lashed out at the rabbis. Beck falsely claimed that "all" of the rabbis who signed the letter came from the Reform movement of Judaism. Beck asserted that Reform Judaism is "more about politics" than about faith. Beck went on to liken Reform Judaism to "radicalized Islam."

FUCK YOU BECK - You don't hear ME on the airwaves saying anything about your religion, Mormonism - you are a PIECE OF DRECK - and FUCK Murdoch and Ailes for keeping you on the air.
Unless it's liberals commenting about conservative Christians, that is.fascisthunter Donating Member (1000+ posts) Wed Feb-23-11 08:59 PM

1. he's trying to divide americans against americans
we adults need to stop tolerating people like him and FOX. As far as I am concerned, political propaganda used to tear a country apart should be banned.
Someday we will see all good folks come together from all backgrounds in protest of this man, his ilk and tactics, it's inevitable.
Let's change that a little. "To compare conservative Christians, which supports democratic institutions to Islamic extremism, which supports anti-democratic movements and the repression of basic rights - including, for example, the denial of women’s rights - is beyond the pale,” Foxman said. “Glenn Beck has no right to discount the faith of any people, and he should think twice before commenting on something he doesn’t know much about. He owes the conservative Christian movement an apology.”jillan Donating Member (1000+ posts) Wed Feb-23-11 09:01 PM

4. Even his buddy Abe Foxman, the head of the ADL demanded an apology.
The Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish organization normally in the lead on issues of anti-Semitism and the use of Nazi imagery, criticized the timing of the ad and its singling out of political conservatives. But ADL chief Abraham Foxman was quick to denounce Beck’s latest comments and demand an apology.
“To compare Reform Judaism, which supports democratic institutions, to Islamic extremism, which supports anti-democratic movements and the repression of basic rights - including, for example, the denial of women’s rights - is beyond the pale,” Foxman said. “Glenn Beck has no right to discount the faith of any people, and he should think twice before commenting on something he doesn’t know much about. He owes the Reform movement an apology.”
Liberals agree with Foxman about liberal Jews, what is different about conservative Christians?
And right on cue:

12. Yep, that was an amazing display of ignorance as well as bigotry.
“To compare Reform Judaism, which supports democratic institutions, to Islamic extremism, which supports anti-democratic movements and the repression of basic rights - including, for example, the denial of women’s rights - is beyond the pale,” Foxman said. “Glenn Beck has no right to discount the faith of any people, and he should think twice before commenting on something he doesn’t know much about.

Absolutely true. There is no way you can compare Reform Judaism, with its commitment to liberal values and social justice, with ANY high-control theocratic religion--including fundamentalist Christianity and Mormonism.
