Norway shooting: Glenn Beck compares dead teenagers to Hitler youth
 
By Jon Swaine, New York
 

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."

Exhibit number 2432 on why I stopped listening to talk radio.  Beck is unhinged.

I want him off the air sooner than now. Any radio station that continues to air this crap should have their license revoked.

Glenn Beck is not fit to be a human being. He is not fit to be any life form at all. He should be banned for life from radio. He should be banned for life from holding any meaningful job. And when I say "meaningful job", panhandling on the street is also meaningful.

Is your real name Rush Limbaugh?

What a bafoon! The Beckster invokes 'Hitler' in ANY given situation. No matter how tragic. Does anybody listen to this jerk? If so, who are you? How are his numbers lately? Can't be that great.

I'm rather conservitive and can't stand Beck, he's an attention whore.

I would never condone what this nut did.

To kill all those kids is inexusable for any reason.

I don't have to listen to or like Beck to get what he was making that linkage for.

It was a daycamp that indoctronates children into socislist thinking.

I have known about groups like this for some time. I'll say again Beck should not use this terrible event to make a name for himself. There is something to be said about this camp being very easily comparable to a Hitler light indoctrination camp designed to take innocent young minds and mold them to believe the state is more important than individual rights.

If you read up on this camp, you can't help but see the connections.

I will say again these children did not deserve this and this man who did this is a complete total scumbag!

This is what socialism breeds though that is why it scares me so much.

Attack Beck all you want I will probably agree with you.

Just don't pay attention to any of these people on any of the so called news channels for truth.

Do some research for yourself so that horrible things like this stop happening. Paying any attention to people like Beck is time lost.

My heart truly goes out to these children.

Beck neither understands what the Hitler Youth was nor, obviously, does he understand what the camp on the Norwegian island was.

Damn I thought Beck was gone from the Spotlight just 2 months ago when he left Rupert Murdoch's Fox News. I noticed on Fox News even John Stossel has questioned about Glenn Beck's ideology. and Michael Savage a Conservative talk radio host who had some contraversies of his own from KSFO days to MSNBC and KNEW days even question about Glenn Beck's stability. I noticed when he was on HLN Beck was more stable back then. Look Glenn Beck got his tactics from his HLN days selling paranoia from Nancy Grace.

Hearing of affiliates who are choosing to part ways with Beck after these comments...not happening in droves but it is happening.

I doubt that many people have ever heard of the youth camp.  Maybe we need to know more before making comments about Beck.  I went through 41 pages of Google before I found anything other than info about the attacks.  Here's what I finally did find:

Still not an excuse to make such a inane comment.  It wasn't offensive but Beck is famous for comparing everything and everyone to Hitler: Obama, non-christians, cabbage, ect.
