Fox News should fire Glenn Beck for anti-Semitism against George Soros

Glenn Beck has gone too far this time and should be fired.

He has revealed himself as anti-Semitic, a charge taken up by the Jewish anti-defamation league who have strongly challenged him on recent comments about George Soros.

Soros survived the Holocaust after his father bribed an agricultural official in his native Hungary to pass him off as a relative of his when Soros was 14.

Soros had to play the role and at one point the man took him to a farm which had been taken from Jewish occupants to do an inventory.

Here is what Beck says "[When he was] 14 years old, he had to help the government confiscate the land of his fellow Jewish friends and neighbors.

It is what beck said next however, that is so deeply offensive.

"H]ere's a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps."

Soros did no such thing. He merely accompanied the official, in his guise as his relative, to a deserted farm.

He was 14 years old and his parents were trying to save his life in desperate times.

What gives Beck the right to claim that Soros had aided and abetted the Holocaust?

It is utterly shameful that he would make such comments.

Sure he has the right to disagree with Soros and challenge him on his left wing politics.

But to accuse him of aiding the Holocaust is a bridge way too far.

Has Glenn Beck no shame?

Or has Fox no shame either?

They should fire him for this blood libel and make him apologize.

Patrick is not completely correct in his assessment of Glenn Beck. George Soros' mother was Jewish but was ANTI-SEMITIC herself and hated her Judaism. Soros to this day does not think of himself as a Jew. Beck is NOT anti-semitic and said so several times when talking about Soros. Perhaps he exaggerated when talking about 14-year-old Soros, but thank heavens that Glenn Beck is on the air and warning Americans about the turn that we are taking toward Marxism. Soros is out to destroy our republic and I have always believed he is pulling Obama's strings.

Robert's comments border on rediculous..Soros have proven to be no friend of the United States and continues to fund groups who rail against the principles of our founding fathers.

LOL!!Could you imagine a staff meeting, monsoon. o'dowd, cahir & the gang rubbing elbows with Beck. They should get along great, the Irish always did cotton to the Germans. Beck might give them a new outlook on life.

Knowing Right from Wrong is a very important input given a child by their Jewish parents. Looks like they ran scared and never trusted in the Lord Of Israel. Dying for a cause is a good thing...to save your own skin by putting others in harms way is putting "self" over and beyond... that is Geo. Soros. He should appologize to the world he has scamed.

I think Geo. Soros has abandoned his Jewish roots A LONG TIME AGO. If he ever had any. This is a free country(USA) with free speech and Glenn Beck is giving his opinion of a man who has manipulated his life and money into areas that he knows will benefit him. Not benefit the Jews or the USA. I feel his whole family life taught him how to take care of Geo. He left his Jewish name. Names are very important to the Jews, if you've read any part of the OT. He could care less. Why are you being so self righteous? Ireland allowed the RCC to run their whole country FOR CENTURIES IF NOT milleniums and sexually abuse the innocents. What have you to say about that?

Glenn Beck seems to know so much about NAZI Germany. How can that be? Why not UNITAS in Angola, or FILQ in Columbia? I would guess he must have considerable interest in the method of operation, and the results that the NAZI regime realized! To learn all of this, and /or anything else, a person would have to have a degree of affinity for the history and workings of those that were responsible for all of the happenings..

Get off your high horse, Mr. Roberts. There are those of us who think you should be banned from this site for what you say about Mr. Beck.
