The writer goes on to give a short biography of Soros, then blasts Beck again for painting the billionaire as “a deeply evil figure, a shadowy manipulator whose marionettes include unions, the Democratic Party, the media, and the President.”

Soros is partial to the NWO.

Why is it that every time one of these leftist boobs gets hoisted on their own words they cry that they’ve been “taken out of context” or “misquoted”.

Get this quote form the article:

“The quotes from it, though accurately transcribed…….”

So, the quotes were accurately transcribed but were still wrong. Their take now is hey, mister, don’t expect us to sit idly by while WHAT WE SAID IS QUOTED WORD FOR WORD BY SOMEONE WE DON’T LIKE. We didn’t mean it like THAT. We meant something else. And you people out there are to stupid to understand that so we’re coming back with this article that once again shows howe smart we are and how stupid you are.

I’ll bet you don’t even know what the phrase “professional semiotician” is, did you? See how smart we are – and you aren’t.

Peasants.

BECK is a copy cat. Ask Michael Savage, Beck picks his stuff up and run with it, repeats it until it becomes attached to his name. I’m not surprised that others have also accused him of stealing their idea. Glen! it’s called referencing, if you take an idea that’s not originally yours, reference it to the original source. Dumb shit!

To all of you morans here that swear that Beck NEVER lies.

You don’t have to be a professional semiotician to see that the Glenn Beck promo is intended to leave the impression that George Soros, the hedge-fund investor and funder of anti-totalitarian and liberal causes, is an anti-Semite; that he was somehow complicit in the Holocaust; and that he is an enemy of Israel. These are lies—lies told by innuendo, but lies all the same. The promo’s shard of truth is that “The World According to Soros” was indeed published in The New Yorker. Its author was Connie Bruck. (“Bruc” is a Fox flub, not a Fox fib.) The quotes from it, though accurately transcribed, are made to function as lies by being placed in an utterly mendacious context. Bruck’s article is the “source” of these smears only in the sense that the brooks of the Catskills are the “source” of New York City’s sewage.

Beck/Palin are the best comedians we have going these days.

the quotes from it, though accurately transcribed, so facts can be twisted, who knew

BlackWidow said:

I’m not sure, but who here has said “Beck never lies”? Beck is a partisan hack, which means he will lie like other partisan hacks. What one has to do is listen and decipher the BS, kind of what people have done since Obama was elected.

Beck’s paranoia shows symptomatic evidence of having some form of mental illness.

More Liberty said:

Your kidding, right?

“Hendrik Hertzberg has written his own Beck rebuttal, excoriating the Fox host for taking quotes from a New Yorker profile of Soros out of context.”

Beck?!? Taking quotes out of context? When the hell did Hertzberg wake up? This is how Beck rolls. This is why his loyal sheep can claim, “Beck is only playing the videos of their own words.” Right: out of context.

One of Beck’s biggest hypocrisies to date is in the immediate aftermath of the Shirley Sherrod episode when Beck had a sign up and claimed that “context matters.”

Where was all this liberal outrage when Michael Moore made a career out of shamelessly twisting words, and taking statements out of context? Spare me.

Hertzberg also wrote, “The ugliest single sentence Beck uttered that week came on his radio program, which supplements his TV show. “Here’s a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps,” he said, referring to Soros, age thirteen. That’s no ordinary libel—it’s more akin to the blood variety.”

http://www.newyorker.com/talk/comment/2010/11/29/101129taco_talk_hertzberg#ixzz162GMXoT0

In the real world, this would have gotten a commentator fired immediately, but in the world of Fox, Beck is safe even though hundreds of companies will no longer advertise during the Glenn Beck show. Why? It would seem that Beck fits in with Murdoch’s desire to push this country backward and — because Beck is a money loser for Murdoch — Beck’s continued employment with Fox puts to bed the myth that Murdoch is only running NewsCorp for the money.

justanotheruninfromedconservative says:
“why does the lamestream media continue to defend and protect soros?? i don’t get it.”

You bought the lies Beck told about Soros, but your question could easily be turned around: why does the propaganda outfit, FoxPAC, continue to defend and protect an ignoramus like Beck?

I challenge anyone here to find anything about Soros more damning that Murdoch’s active and adult support for Communist policies in China.

How can Glenn Beck be anti-semitic when there are Jewish groups who denounce George Soros?
http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2010/11/18/george-soros-those-ten-months-of-the-nazi-occupation-in-1944-were-the-happiest-times-of-my-life-we-led-an-adventurous-life-and-we-had-fun-together%E2%80%9D/

I guess The New York Times didn’t read this:

“In November 2003, for the first time ever, the billionaire spoke to a Jewish audience at the conference of the Jewish Funders Network. Many people were dismayed by his call for “regime change” in the United States, his talk of funding projects in “Palestine” and the Geneva Accord, and his ideas about the cause of anti-Semitism.

Soros said European anti-Semitism is the result of the policies of Israel and the United States. “There is a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. The policies of the Bush administration and the Sharon administration contribute to that,” Soros said. “If we change that direction, then anti-Semitism also will diminish,” he said. “I can’t see how one could confront it directly.” ”
http://judaism.about.com/library/2_americanjewry/bl_soros.htm

Soros is a socialist and a humanist, everything Beck says about his is true.

Every story Beck processes thru his fertile brain is like a gourmet meal—when it later hits the toilet.
You don’t get the meal, just the end result.

“So it doesn’t bother any of you hacks that Soros has made his billions by crushing economies and shorting?”

Shorting a stock, a currency or any commodity is something that is perfectly legal. Wall St. shorted some of their own derivatives knowing that they were based upon toxic mortgages. Not THAT was sleazy, but what Soros does is based upon his theories of disequilibrium. He’s make plenty of money going long on stocks too.

He’s been accused of shorting –NOT economies — but financial systems, but he is just using his theory to benefit from what is about to happen of his own accord…unless you’re naive enough to actually believe that one person’s investment can take down a nation’s currency, especially a nation like England.

So let me ask, it doesn’t bother you that Murdoch is actively supporting Communists in China?
(FYI, Soros opposed Communists.)

timzank said:

But the right did not mind taking Reverend Moon’s billions (and influence) and unlike Soros, Moon really does intend on taking over the world, explicitly. There is only one bailout position for a billionaire who has earned his money at the black jack table, give a lot of it back. And Soros does that.

Beck: “Soros has helped fund the Velvet Revolution in the Czech Republic, the Orange Revolution in the Ukraine, the Rose Revolution in Georgia. He also helped engineer coups in Slovakia, Croatia, and Yugoslavia. So, what is his target now? Us. America.”

Hertzberg: “Relying on his audience’s naïveté, Beck never mentions that all these uniformly peaceful “revolutions” were against Communist or post-Communist dictatorships.”

Hertzberg, that’s not naivete, that’s sheer ignorance. Beck’s fortune is made because of one reason; his audience’s lack of knowledge (ignorance) about pretty much everything. The more you know, the easier it is to detect Beck’s lies, false claims and purposeful deceptions.

When I listen to Beck talk about something that I don’t know much about or understand, he sounds convincing to me. Then I sit down and do the sometimes hard work of finding out exactly what the facts are and without failure I find that the picture Beck painted is not exactly as Beck described.

Typo correction: I meant to type: Wall St. shorted some of their own derivatives knowing that they were based upon toxic mortgages. Now THAT was sleazy,….

greg454 says:

That’s what I’m writing about: ignorance on display. Look, liberalism is not socialism. Soros supports liberal/progressive groups, not socialist ones. NOTHING MUCH that Beck said about Soros is true. It was libel, and I wish like heck that Soros would put a lawyer on this.

So far as Soros being a humanist, what is the alternative, an alienist?

You can either defend Soros or not, but Im getting real tired of all the “what about the other guy? They do it do!” arguments. Thats a dishonest deflecting tactic that has no bearing on whether or not Soros is who Beck says he is.

I’m glad a guy like “GlennBeckReview” doesn’t practice law. His arguments would be laughed at in court.

GlennBeckReview said:

Has ‘Humanist’ become a new boogey word?

Conservative media, Mr. Sanchez wrote at juliansanchez.com — referring to outlets like Fox News and National Review and to talk-show stars like Rush Limbaugh, Mark R. Levin and Glenn Beck — have “become worryingly untethered from reality as the impetus to satisfy the demand for red meat overtakes any motivation to report accurately.”

Soros is just Beck’s red meat of the month. Beck knows, from listening to Limbaugh all those years, that reporting accurately is a quaint notion of MSM and it’s “liberal” bias. That’s why Beck dispenses with the facts in favor of deceptions that make the dogs howl, the sheep baa and the lemmings follow.

So you can’t find anything about Soros that is worse that Murdoch’s ongoing support for the Communists in China. You have interesting way of typing, “Soros is a better man than Murdoch.”

Not so. The fact that there are other billionaires who fund right wing causes puts Soros, who funds progressive causes, in context. Glenn’s attacks are partisan because they single out Soros while ignoring, for example, Reverend Moon, who claims to be the Messiah, and who actually had a crown placed on his head by participating members of Congress.

Maybe that is why you think I lie, Gordon the blow hard with a show; you believe that lies are truth and truth is a lie. That’s the upside down version of reality that is the self enclosed, right wing media echo chamber.

On the reality side of things, Gordon, we think that people like you and Beck live in an alternative universe that God created 6,000 years ago.

Dear GlennBeckReview:

My guess is that YOU yourself are on the Soros payroll!

You have a nifty little ‘smear and defame Glenn Beck’ website, which I am sure you’re not paying for out of your own pocket.

You have got to have SOME CONNECTION to Soros, otherwise, why else would such hate and disdain drip like poisonous venom from every word you type??? Why else would someone vehemently defend a complete stranger, especially Soros, UNLESS THEY WERE ON HIS PAYROLL (or a payroll FUNDED BY SOROS)???

Don’t expect or want a reply, I’m just sayin’.

gordonbloyershow says:
“Remember GBR is the clown that said he was going to sue me for calling him a liar.”

I would sue you Mr. Blowhard, if I felt that it was worth it to spend $5,000 in legal fees to get everything you own, but I don’t want your semen-stained poster of Ann Coulter.

Beck’s “falsehoods quickly spin out into pathology; the next day, Beck is accusing Soros of plotting a Weimar-like inflation—“$11.43 for an ear of corn! One ear!”—in order to “reap obscene profits” and “bring America to her knees.” But enough. Too much of this can be hazardous to your health.

Beck is often dismissed as an “entertainer”—the Rush Limbaugh excuse, calculated to make critics out to be stuffed shirts who can’t take a joke. Beck is nobody’s puppet, but he does have masters: Fox News and the News Corporation. Their respective chief executive officers, Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch, are the responsible—which is to say, irresponsible—parties. In an interview last week, Ailes had this to say about his National Public Radio counterparts: “They are, of course, Nazis. They have a kind of Nazi attitude. They are the left wing of Nazism.” No wonder that, for Beck, there are no strings attached. There don’t have to be.”

Pathology, Bloyer, as in pathological liar. I’m not alone in arguing that pretty much most of what Beck said about Soros was a series of lies.

I don’t think even George Soros would waste his time or money on this
Glenn Beck Review fool. Beck got into his head somehow and if he does ever
get him out,said head will be empty. I just hope that when he does go off, he does
not hurt innocent by-standers. What is the purpose of such a massive waste of time
and effort??
Silly is a compliment!

Maybe he, GBR, will start a Gorden Bloyer Review and waste more
time! Who knows? I suspect this guy GBR is about 4′ ^’ tall.
Severe case of LMS (Little Man Syndrome).
You can spot them…..a mile away!!

Can any of the conservative commenters respond to Hertzberg’s response to Beck’s claim that Soros engineered coups abroad?

There is a challenge on my BLOG for people like you to find where I have anything written about Mr. Beck wrong. Anything; show where I have one fact wrong about Mr. Beck. The challenge has been up for months, and so far no one has found anything I have wrong. I’ve invited News Busters to look at The Glenn Beck Review too, so good luck. Based upon what you’re “sure” about, i.e., that I’m not paying the $85/year for my own URL out of my own pocket, you’re not off to a very good start.

cmm912 says:

If you actually knew what you were typing about instead of having a reactionary knee-jerk response to my charges against Mr. Beck (that he’s a liar, a hypocrite and a charlatan), you’d know that I don’t hate Beck. Hatred is for fools. I actually appreciate that Beck has motivated me to get off the couch and get back into the fight, and not just here at MediaFight. You did get one thing right: my disdain for the vitriolic Beck, his toxic rhetoric and his miseducation of my fellow Americans does “drip like poisonous venom from every word [I] type.” At least, that is what I strive for.

cmm912 (OHhhhh, 9-12: THAT’s where you’re coming from. You’re a hard core Beckerhead), that venomous tone is called righteous indignation. If you weren’t hoodwinked by the snake oil that Beck sells you day in and day out, you’d have it too.

Next.

Probably NOT wrong says:

“I suspect this guy GBR is about 4′ ^’ tall.”

You have me confused with Gordon Blowhard. Have you ever checked out HIS website? He came up almost to President Reagan’s nipples.

Probably not wrong (definitely not right), you need to Google ad hominem attack. Your shrill tone is nothing more than that, and frankly, it’s a bit old (although I expect that nonsense to continue for as long as Beck remains a hoodwinking charlatan). zzzZZZZZzzzzzz borrrrrring.

Hertzberg: “Beck pictured Soros as a deeply evil figure, a shadowy manipulator whose marionettes include unions, the Democratic Party, the media, and the President; a rapacious financier who seeks to subvert and destroy the American republic in order to satisfy his own greed for money and advance his plot to establish an all-powerful global state under his control. As it happens, these tropes correspond uncannily to those of classical anti-Semitism.”

Like Beck’s fake race-baiting anti-racism, Beck is also a pro-Jewish anti-Semite. (I’ve written before that he’s a paradox). I don’t think that this is a conscious attempt by Beck; more likely he’s just that sloppy with his “thinking.” When you’ve consumed as much alcohol and hard drugs as Beck did, there’s bound to be some loose nuts and bolts rattling around. As long as he keeps faking outrage at progressives and throwing his gullible cannibals, who adore him, the red meat that they crave, it’s not likely that they will notice his symbolic racism and anti-Semitism.

I watched parts of all three episodes of Beck devoted to George Soros.

Beck repeatedly asked the audience NOT to take his word for it, but to do their own research. If you do… if you follow all the dotted lines leading between all the groups funded by Soros, and add up all the money he spends to influence elections…. then it is pretty hard not to conclude that there is a massive conspiracy and Soros is the kingpin.

Some might want to make this all about Beck. But why is there so little curiosity in the drive-by media about a secretive Hungarian billionaire? Are they all on his payroll?

That’s because Beck told outrageous lies during his smear job. Nothing new, that’s just how Beck rolls.

I did a lengthy post on Soros. He helped take down Communist countries during the Cold War. He donated more money to liberate South Africa than Beck will earn in a lifetime. Soros spent nearly 1/2 billion dollars trying to defeat G. Bush in 2004, and THAT is what has conservatives so pissed off toward Soros.

On Soros, a faction of one:
http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/06/what-has-this-guy-done-that-has-glenn.html

Of course, the Koch brothers just spent millions and millions to buy Congress, but that’s OK because they’re on the reactionary side of politics. We call this blinder wearing criticism, commonly known as having double standards.

I still haven’t anyone show where Soros has done anything as un-American as what Beck’s boss does, i.e., supporting Chinese Communists and their policies, not when he was a young boy, but NOW, as an adult.

On Murdoch, another faction of one:
http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/06/glenn-becks-boss-faction-unto-himself.html

All the proof I need that Beck is right (besides the fact that I checked all of his comments online and they were all connected to quotes by Soros himself in his books and in television and magazine interviews, and the New Yorker article ITSELF ADMITS that “the quotes are accurately transcribed”), is that people commenting here are attacking the messenger simply out of sheer hatred for Beck, and not much substantive denial of his accusations, except to say that ‘Soros is not an anti-semite.’

You certainly don’t have to do this, but in an easy, quick manner, do you mind providing some sort of list with proof that George Soros hates, resents or is prejudiced against Jewish people? Don’t worry about links or substance. A bulleted list works fine for me.

Again, if you’re willing.

I have an associate how is writing a post for The Glenn Beck Review attempting to answer that question. I believe, first, they see Beck as a hero, a patriot and a devoted Christian. You and I see him differently, but that’s because of what’s called biased assimilation. We hear what we want to hear unless we have training to avoid that. So what is the truth about Glenn Beck? That depends upon your perspective and your base of knowledge (before hearing him say a word).

http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/07/what-is-truth-about-glenn-beck.html

Then there’s another side of this, their loyal devotion. That comes from the other answer to your question: Beck tell’s people, who don’t know the facts, what they want to believe about Obama. It’s virtually all wrong, but facts matter little to people who want their reactionary beliefs confirmed by someone who seems to know what he’s talking about. Why, when you confront them with facts that are in complete contradiction to their solid beliefs, do they dig in their heels instead of changing their minds? That is understood too.

“The general idea is that it’s absolutely threatening to admit you’re wrong,” says political scientist Brendan Nyhan, the lead researcher on the Michigan study. The phenomenon — known as “backfire” — is “a natural defense mechanism to avoid that cognitive dissonance.”

http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/07/why-becks-followers-cannot-understand.html

Cognitive dissonance is a real mind fu#k. Nobody wants to admit they are wrong about something. News reporters must do just that to maintain their credibility. I once got something wrong about Media Matters…and made the correction.

That moment of realization that I had something wrong was disturbing. I screwed up, and until I made that correction, I felt like crap. This leads to another question you didn’t ask:

How the hell does Beck sleep at night?

cmm912 says:

“people commenting here are attacking the messenger simply out of sheer hatred for Beck”

That itself is a lie, one that you could check very easily if you were honestly inclined to get the facts.

http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/p/about-blogger.html

I’m attacking Beck for three reasons: he deceives his listeners, he’s an unprincipled hypocrite and he’s utterly unqualified to be on TV. Beck doesn’t know shit about what he talks about.

http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/07/glenn-beck-thinker-pundit-or-charlatan.html

As a 9-12er, in love with Beck, you will never understand that he lies.

Again, cognitive dissonance.

why does the lamestream media continue to defend and protect soros?? i don’t get it.

Soros bankrolls to the tune of millions of dollars the progressive socialist agenda with a bought and paid for media, it’s not surprising they’re trying to earn their money by circling the wagons around Soros, Beck is a thorn in his side shining the light on what he is doing what he is saying and who he is funding above and below the table.

I only wish we had someone like a galactically rich patriot working our side of the street to open peoples eyes to the wisdom of our founding documents and principles and to further the economic system that made America such a prosperous nation.

I’m tired of hearing people like Obama and his progressive zombies and Kool-Aid drinkers saying how America is the root of the worlds problem. Can you imagine a world where the United States of America never existed and what it would be like? Like in the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” George Bailey got to see and come back when he wanted to.

George Soros with his vision of America would give us perpetual Pottersville!

I don’t give 2 as long as Soros is in the news every single day. He sat under the radar for far too long. It is about time he was exposed for what was and who he is and let the people decide.

I’ve taken some time to read some of Soros’ comments and from all I’ve been able to determine, Mr. Beck is correct about him. Soros is an enigma though; I can’t figure out why he’s so damned mean spirited. Maybe it’s because he’s 80 years old and has come to the realization that even with his wealth he will not live forever. Is he sadistic by nature? I think he could well be.

So much wrong here…
Soros and his agenda are very public and have been for years… What is new is the hyper partisian climate which provides cover for Beck to smear and distort Soros as covert mastermind of radical overthrow… The fact that only the right fringe support the madness is a saving grace…

Massive concentrations of wealth do support the fringe reactionary movement you seem to admire… Lament no more…

Obama and the left love our country… It is the bomb throwers on the right who currently demonize vast sections of our nation… From our working folks, to our representatives, those who fight for environmental and civil rights… The right is already at war with the nation that good folks adore.

That’s what Beck does, and not just to Soros. Beck purposely distorts the agenda of people he disagrees with, and then his high school drop out followers go around repeating the lies and smears. Beck is terrible destructive to political discourse with his alternative (mythological) universe that he creates.

Is it any wonder that people peeked around his closet to see if there are any skeletons? They did; there are:

No, Beck lied about Soros. Soros did not help send Jews to death camps as Beck claimed.
http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/11/glenn-becks-horrific-lie.html

Beck was wrong about what a devalued dollar would do to Americans, too:
http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/11/fox-should-fire-beck-for-puppet-master.html

Beck peppered his narrative about Soros with just enough facts to make the gullible believe his nonsense.

In other words, SOS; DD.

Why, conservatives, is Soros given such crap for his activism, including anti-Communist activities in the past, but Rupert Murdoch is given a free pass on his support for Communists in China and their policies? I understand that Beck won’t bite the hand that gives him an undue platform to spew his hateful lies, but what is your excuse?

You DID call Beck a “dumb shit,” so you’re not in any position to whine about “decency in debate.”

Beck is not a dumb shit. He’s not. No one who is “dumb” is going to fool millions of people with lies, smears and false claims and get away with it unless there is great skill. It’s why Beck is viewed by some as an entertainment genius. I call him an ignorant genius. As someone that has inspired minions willing to kill people, Beck is a dangerous, ignorant genius.

But, he has a skeleton in his closet:
http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/11/what-is-glenn-beck-getting-nervous.html

Beck is a dangerous, ignorant genius! I guess that does fit! The teas have made this easy, everyone but Fox is wrong, so if Beck says it it is true, (even when 90% of it never comes to pass) however crazy it is, no matter how much spin, he is correct! Beck is the truth and the light, thou shall put no other gods before Beck, wait the fake christians know this!

You know, Tim, I don’t mind spin. Beck transcends spin with his deceptions. If we was only putting spin on the facts, there would have been no Glenn Beck Review.

I don’t know if you’re watching him these days, but he’s figuratively taking a massive on the Gadsen flag. Beck tells his minions what to do a lot. Yesterday he was telling tehm how to bring up the topics that has Beck’s panties in a bunch this week DURING THANKSGIVING! “Don’t tell them, ‘well, Glenn Beck says.’ ” Really, because that would make the relatives laugh and feel pity on the ignorant sucker listening to this yellow propagandist, liar and hypocrite.

Point is, he’s dangerous because he tells people what to do and like obedient dogs, they anxious to comply.

AngelPeters says Beck’s paranoia shows symptomatic evidence of having some form of mental illness.

Beck is a drunk —grandstanding is his style and lying is one of his character defects. Beck is a crazy drunk!!!!!

Seeing 2012 From My Window said:
The writer goes on to give a short biography of Soros, then blasts Beck again for painting the billionaire as “a deeply evil figure, a shadowy manipulator whose marionettes include unions, the Democratic Party, the media, and the President.”

Truth hurts, doesn’t it!

It does sometimes, but it’s worth it. To get there you have place the truth at a place of value, over, bias and partisan preference. If you’re watching Beck and thinking he’s doing that you haven’t got there.

I’ll keep this in mind the next time some conservative complains that Jon Stewart or some MSNBC host is taking things out of context when they do a video montage.

Comon Harry, it’s easy to see that anyone can clip words from someone else to present what they prefer to present.

So, most conservatives realize that Beck lies and is a partisan hack? Sure doesn’t seem that way the way some defend him.

Id’ say an alternative to listening and deciphering is to not watch at all. At some point the bias and distortion to truth ratio makes that the best choice.

Beck repeatedly asked the audience NOT to take his word for it, but to do their own research. If you do… if you follow all the dotted lines leading between all the groups funded by Soros, and add up all the money he spends to influence elections…. then it is pretty hard not to conclude that there is a massive conspiracy and Soros is the kingpin.

Beck does that all the time knowing that the majority of his audience will never do serious research. Did you? Ever?

Go watch the Jon Stewart version of Beck’s rant. The same dishonest connect the dots game Beck plays can be played against just about anyone once you understand how the illusion is created.

so cosmos, beck didn’t lie, quoted , so yes cosmos taken out of context, what ever, facts can be twisted

I was interested in listening to Jon S compliment Beck’s act on the Letterman show. He recognized some of his techniques as old stand up comedy tricks used to engage the audience. I’m intrigued by the way he takes select facts and makes ridiculous leaps of logic about them, posing it as a maybe, or “I may be wrong but what else can it be” so he narrowly escapes an outright lie. That way when others make the mistake of accusing him of lying he can say, “Where did I lie?” and defend it as opinion based on evidence. Clever, but consistently dishonest.

That’s why I always shake my head when I see some poster or pundit use the “well it’s their own words” argument. Now I see conservatives complaining that Jon Stewart and other pundits take things out of context when they make a video montage. I think really? You’re aware of how that works?

By using Becks thread of logic you could tie Santa to Hitler. This is all Beck does! It doesn’t match up,but it gives the teas a direction of hate and confirms their far right made up views!

I don’t usually delve into the remarks where he’s left himself wiggle room. Beck didn’t claim, for example, that Soros “may have, I’m not sure, I think he” sent Jews to death camps. No, Beck just said, “[H]ere’s a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps.”

You’re right too; he’s often a slippery and sleazy weasel. He’s also a bit of an authoritarian. He’s taken to routinely telling his sheep how to act, what to wear and this week what to talk about during Thanksgiving with the family.

Put another way, Beck steps on the Gadsen flag. I think that’s pretty ironic.

Ah, the New Yorker lashes out at Glenn Beck. What a surprise! What a shock! What a departure from the norm.

NOT!

The nice thing about the New Yorker is that you don’t even need to read its political articles any more, since their agenda can be predicted with 100% accuracy in advance — just as the writers know what angle they need to take even before they pick up a pen or do any research. When was the last time the New Yorker didn’t attack the conservative and slobber over the progressive? Someone should point out to the editors that, when a magazine sticks to a party line with such fervor, it leaves the world of journalism and enters the sphere of partisan spin. Which happened at the New Yorker long ago.

No, Beck lied about Soros. Soros did not help send Jews to death camps as Beck claimed.

Did Soros not write that he felt most alive when he was helping the Nazis? He was, according to his own biography and not anything Mr. Beck said, helping the Nazis confiscate property from the Jews. What happened to those Jews? Do you think they were sent to the Riviera for some sun and fun?

But, that is not what really bothers me about soros: When I watched the clip of him saying that he wanted to preside over an orderly decline of the dollar, I found that personally quite bothersome and I took offense at it.

Most recently, soros said something that should be of concern to the -0bama sycophants, something along the line of “if -0bama won’t do as he is told, we’ll find someone who will.”

All in all, I do not think soros likes the US that much, and the fact that he “feels a bit like God” after having wrecked a few economies indicates to me that he is an extrordinarily mean person. What kind of person likes hurting other people?

hell cosmos , i was agreeing with you that , taken out of context, can twist the facts but oh well

pyrope says:

You read his autobiography? I doubt it. When Soros accompanied his “god father” that ONE time, the Jews had already been taken away.

Your ignorance on the matter is underwhelming.

It’s not hard to fact check Beck for false claims. The question is, why, if he is shown to deceive his listeners, do people take him seriously? Why does anyone listen to a liar? Or an ignorant man sharing his ignorance (not all of his false claims are intentional lies)?

Latest example of Beck’s misinformation is his assertion that we’re experiencing food inflation. That’s just not true, but Beck wants his minions to cause divisive conversations tomorrow about this subject.

I have read a good deal of the biography written by Robert Slater and the one written by Gyorgy Schwartz.

I guess my “ignorance is underwhelming” but your blindness to fact and reason are beyond belief. Gyorgy Schwartz is an enemy of the US and MUST be treated as one.

I think Glenn might have scared off some people with the dolls that looked like they where being hanged from the studio celling.
