Glenn Beck gave a lengthily apology on his radio show, on Thursday, following his comment made on Tuesday. Beck had compared Reform Judaism to radicalized Islam.
During his six-minute apology he said "I’ve always told you to do your own homework, and in this case, I didn’t do enough homework…I made one of the worst analogies of all time. And I knew it when I said it,” …Here I am talking about Judaism and I start comparing Islamic extremism. It was a nightmare.”
The Anti-Defamation League and other Jewish organizations had immediately rebuked Beck for his remarks after Tuesday's show.

Beck is not Irish, and no way this is a story about Ireland, so it doesn't belong here. It's here only because Irish Lefties are ALWAYS looking for some trumped-up reason to strike out at American Conservatives. I've only seen snippets of Beck's TV program, because what he points out makes me sad for America, and I find that difficult to watch. His radio show, on the other hand, is quite informative and easy to listen to. This is really the first time I've found him to be factually wrong on something. What I find VERY instructive, is that, just as Beck sees the Left allying itself with Radical Islam because EACH hates Western Democratic ideals (even though THE ANTI-WOMEN'S RIGHTS, ANTIGAY, ANTI-FREEDOM OF RELIGION, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC Muslims SHOULD be in direct opposition to the "SHAMELESSLY WHORISH, PROMISCUOUS, SEXUALLY PERVERSE, ATHEISTIC, DECADENT WESTERN LIBERALS"), the anti-Beck posters on this site include both rabid Lefties AND anti-semitic, anti-immigration, racist xenophobes, each ostensibly polar opposites, yet each working in harmony with the groupthink to try to tear down the supposed "common enemy." If I had any doubts before about Beck's 'ALL the jackals, hyenas, and wild dogs hoping together hoping for a carcass' theory being implausable, this coalescence of posters would have removed those doubts.

Sad thing is Beck will continue to make millions, and will never pay any significant price professionally or personally for his ignorance and continual spreading of fear and suspicion. WWJD - I suspect weep for those who so desperately need to hate others, and reserve an especially warm place in the afterlife to those who profit and prey on those poor people.

Poor BryanTim, I wonder!! Doe's he dress up in white sheets and wear a pointy white hat. You bigoted moron.Dave3 please don't insult lemmings.It's amusing to read borefield justifying the right by lobbing a liberal ball.

Jews more of a threat then Muslims. Look WHO is bringing them into EUROPE to WIPE OUT the WHITE CHRISTIAN population GOOGLE and WATCH "Jewish activist Anetta Kahane wants to destroy Europe via non-European immigration" This is why there is anti-Jewish feelings EVERYWHERE. Jews create the hatred toward themselves. The question is when are we going to remove them from our living space?

Jews own the Fed Jews own the World Bank Jews have opened the borders in Ireland, just like they did in the U.S. Google: "Jewish Involvement In Shaping American Immigration Policy" That is what Jews have to do with Irish culture. They are destroying it. Irish people everywhere shgould take sides with ALL enemies of the Jews everywhere - No matter who they are

Glenn Beck is a racist, anti-Semitic, fear-mongering nut case, but since when is he Irish? So why does he merit being discussed on this site? All that did was bring out the other nut jobs who hate Jews and who joyously spread their anti-Semitic propaganda. Did they really need another venue for that?

What does Glen beck commenting about Jews have to do with Irish culture?
dave3rings | Feb 26, 2011, 10:01 AM EST
Glenn Beck is just another one of the many fear mongering Fox journalists, who endeavor to shape the opinions of the multitude of misinformed lemmings, with hate and lies. Unfortunately these lemmings make up a great deal of our population.

Glen Beck is on the extreme side of all topics, like Rush Limbaugh. So what if he was comparing Islam or Judiasm and it just didn't come out quite right. Treat the remark like Bloombergs, Sharptons and all the others with a voice out there. Watch the leftist media GO MAD!.

What's the problem? Lazy listeners? He always says research it yourself. Take it all with a grain of salt as you should take the opinions of anyone.

It's funny how a few people here are criticizing Glen Beck or anyone else for making comments about Jews. The international monetary fund (like the Federal Reserve) is a Jewish bank and they have just enslaved your entire country.

I do not watch Glen Beck, but he has said a few things that are correct. For example, even as Winston Churchill (the man who destroyed the British empire) correctly pointed out that it was atheistic Jews who comprised the politicial revolutionaries and mass murders in the former Soviet Union. Had it not been for Nazi Germany, these same people would have murdered an ADDITIONAL 60 MILLION EUROPEANS, including the people of Ireland. Who do you people think is behind bringing Africans into DUBLIN? Why do you think they are doing this - Out of the kindness of their hearts? Do you know who brought third world people in to America and why? Google: Jewish Involvement In Shaping American Immigration Policy"

he's a unbelievable nut job. only Fox News would be dumb enough and dishonest enough to give him a microphone.

Typical of this windbag. He usually goes on for several days before he apologizes or gives the straight story---if he does at all.
