Radio host Glenn Beck has come under heavy criticism for citing a book on the air last week written by an anti-Semitic Nazi sympathizer named Elizabeth Dilling.

Beck, however, has argued that he was unaware of the author's Nazi leanings and that his discussion of her book does not mean he echoes her anti-Semitic views.
...Beck also highlighted "The Red Network," which RareNonfiction.com describes as a who's who of radical communism, listing approximately 1,300 names and organizations actively promoting extreme leftist ideology...
Dilling tied her warnings against communism to Jewish plot conspiracies, spouted anti-Semitic rants and praised Hitler's work in Germany before World War II. After Pearl Harbor, Dilling was an anti-war activist and spoke at rallies organized by U.S. Nazis, leading to her indictment and trial for sedition in 1944.
When Beck first mentioned the book on his program, he was specifically citing Dilling's research into communist infiltration in the U.S. as evidence that...Joseph McCarthy, in Beck's words, "was absolutely right."

Over the weekend...several e-mailers joined in criticizing Beck's use of Dilling's book. Beck issued a clarification on today's program:
"I'm also getting some amazing mail from the left that now says I'm a Nazi anti-Semite because I quoted a book on Friday," Beck said on the air today. "It was a who's who, who's in the Communist Party in 1935, apparently written by a Nazi sympathizer here in America, part of the, I'm sure – I don't know because I didn't look it up – but I'm sure part of the Father Coughlin, social justice crowd, because this is the choice that progressives give you – you're either a Nazi or a communist. No, I'm neither."

From the article: "I'm also getting some amazing mail from the left that now says I'm a Nazi anti-Semite because I quoted a book on Friday," Beck said on the air today. "It was a who's who, who's in the Communist Party in 1935, apparently written by a Nazi sympathizer here in America, part of the, I'm sure – I don't know because I didn't look it up – but I'm sure part of the Father Coughlin, social justice crowd, because this is the choice that progressives give you – you're either a Nazi or a communist. No, I'm neither."
Same problem with Beck in his professional life as in his personal life: Lack of discernment.
The left looks, and looks and yet looks for anything to get rid of Beck. They look for the same things with Rush and others. Considering all the truth that Beck has exposed the American public to ... it is inevitable that the left would jump on anything Beck does that is less then perfect. Screw the left.
What makes Glenn Beck so likeable is his ordinaryness.
He could be your neighbor, your brother-in-law, or the grown-up boy from next door. There is nothing about him that is artificial.
He doesn’t have razor-sharp discernment? So what! Neither do the great majority of people in this nation.
Glenn is looking for facts about what has been happening in this country for the past hundred years. It is amazing where such a hunt leads and facts can appear in the damndest places.
That’s all this article highlights - nothing more.
Beck is not a deep thinker, he has various people feeding him information and if it suits him, he runs with it.
HE is out of his league. The Elmer Gantry type last as
long as the lemmings keep their blinders on.
I’m not surprised. The LDS church has a ‘replacement theology’, that America (particularly the LDS) is Zion, that they are the chosen people of God now, and that Christ will reign from Missouri, not Jerusalem.
Many Neo-nazi groups also subscribe to a similar replacement theology.

Glen has gotten a lot of his ‘facts’ wrong lately. Like every time he opens his mouth about religion.
So, you can’t read a marxist attack on fascism, and you can’t read fascist attacks on marxism? I read it all.
Tonight’s TV program was devoted to Hayek who is one of my favorite authors; I’ve read Road to Serfdom a couple of times and Constitution of Liberty about three times and looking forward to a fourth.
No one does what Beck does on TV, and its a pity.
#1 It doesn't take "razor-sharp discernment" to make this type of mistake, nor the one he just made here: But I Learn So Much from Glenn Beck!
#2 ...the great majority of people in this nation" don't try to export their daily opinions on a national basis.
(He better start hiring more researchers who actually vet what he's going to start pontificating on)
Did you know that there are over 65,000 textual errors in the King James version of the Bible?
I can tell you unequivocally that some ‘facts’ about religion shouldn’t be stated in public.
But I’m willing to hear what you have to say: go ahead, tell me what Beck has gotten wrong.
Helen Thomas. Glenn Beck. Next.
Really????
What? Reading is an act of inwardly digesting something. Beck was engaged in front of a microphone outwardly spewing content from a vile author.
(So, sorry, to have to break it to ya, but Beck was doing more than picking up a book to read before he shut off the light)
Secondly, if he was going to mention this book, sounds to me like he needed to issue umpteen hundred disclaimers alongside it...how this author praised Hitler's pre-WW II work...this author's anti-semitic rantings...her ties to the U.S. Nazis...her indictment/trial for sedition.
ANY Talkinghead worth his or her salt would know that once you start running into that many qualifiers and the seriousness of them, you begin to ask yourself, "Why even bother stirring this up with a mention at all?"
As it was, Beck then confessed, "I don't know because I didn't look it up" ... I'm sorry but the same kind of ignorance he displayed in previewing Mormonism is NOT what we need as he previews other writings!

Actually it isn’t nearly that many, and I don’t use the KJV. If you want a lesson on variants I can give you one.
Neither the errors of the KJV translators nor the variants make the Bible unreliable in matters of faith and doctrine like the LDS church (which beck belongs to) claims.
I also have several years (and degrees)of Biblical Hebrew, Koine Greek, Latin, Biblical Studies and Church History under my belt. Furthermore I used to be LDS, which is why I recognized LDS propaganda when the following first came out...
What did beck get wrong? This conversation has appeared on several threads and goes to show that a) he is brainwashed, b) he has no discernment in spiritual matters, and c) his research is sloppy.
22:40: Glenn: “…the Dead Sea Scrolls, you know what they are? Stu, do you know what the Dead Sea Scrolls are?
Stu: Well, of course I do…
Glenn: Now, c’mon, most people don’t.
Stu: Well, I heard of them, I don’t really know
Glenn: You don’t really know. You have no idea why they were there. Sara average person doesn’t know. Any idea, take a guess on why the Dead Sea Scrolls were there, or anything else.
Sara(?): Something religious.
Glenn: Okay, good. Even though I’ve explained this on this program a couple of times, I’m glad to see that even the people that work with me don’t even listen.
So here’s what happened. When Constantine decided that he was going to cobble together an army, he did the Council of Nicea, right, Pat?
Pat: Yea.
Glenn: The Council of Nicea, and what they did is brought all of the religious figures together, all the Christians and then they said, “Ok, let’s put together the Apostles’ Creed, let’s you know, you guys do it.”
So they brought all their religious scripture together, that’s when the Bible was first bound and everything else.
And then they said, “Anybody that disagrees with this is a heretic and off with their head!”
Well, that’s what the Dead Sea Scrolls are. The Dead Sea Scrolls are those scriptures that people had at the time that they said, “They are destroying all of this truth.”
Whether it’s truth or not is up to the individual, but at that time those people thought that this was something that needed to be preserved and so they rolled up the scrolls and put them in clay pots and they put them in the back of caves where no one could find them.
They were hidden scripture because everything was being destroyed that disagreed with the Council of Nicea and Constantine. That’s what those things are.”
Textual errors are misspellings and mistranslations.
The King James Bible might be beautiful and poetic English, but inerrant it definitly is not.
Did you know that there are over 65,000 textual errors in the King James version of the Bible?
Really????

I think someone is combining the number of MMS variants and the editing/translation errors of the KJV.
That is the ONLY way you could get close to the 65k number.
I find that many people today never were satisfactorily exposed to that information, so it is hard for them to discern exactly what it is that they might lose under this encroaching socialism.
Glen lays it out there to be utilized when making judgments about the actions of our government and to aid us in changes we may want to make to the current regime.
At least it can be said that the info was out there for people if they wanted to avail themselves before making educated decisions.
J Edgar Hoover and the OSS performed such an amazing vilification agitprop campaign that even now over a half century later, we as a nation can not perform civil discourse on the political spectrum of 1930’s Europe.
Beck is likeable? Get serious...he whines and he cries. I would venture to say that in his youth he got the crap beat out of him on a daily basis. On a personal note if he were my neighbor I would put up a very tall privacy fence or move. Fox has certainly lowered their standards with the likes of Hannity and Beck.
