Glenn Beck to hold Jerusalem rally

Posted By Joshua Keating Tuesday, May 17, 2011 - 12:44 PM Share

Just when you thought Mike Huckabee's departure meant the world was safe from having an advocate of ethnic cleansing in the 2012 U.S. presidential race, soon-to-depart Fox News host Glenn Beck seems to be stepping up to the task of making it as embarrassing as possible to be an American supporter of Israel:

Conservative US media figure Glenn Beck will hold a rally to "restore courage" in Jerusalem this August, he announced on his radio show Monday.

Beck said the aim of the rally is to "stand together with Israel" and "to show the world what living a life of faith and honor really means," according to a statement on his website.

The rally is slated to be held one year after his "rally to restore honor" in Washington last August.

Beck visited Israel last week where he broadcast a special edition of his radio show. Obviously, he can hold rallies wherever he wants, but it's troubling to hear Likud MK Danny Dannon describe this gold-shilling huckster as a "a true friend of Israel who is willing to speak out when so many are often silent." Having support for Israel, as a U.S. political issue, associated with Beck's brand, can only be a bad thing for the future of the relationship.

For a taste of Beck's views on Middle East politics, check out this now classic rant from January drawing a line from Bernadine Dohrn and the Weathermen to the Egyptian and Tunisian uprisings to a "Mediterranean on fire.":

Why do we...

even allow this kind of a character any sort of news at all? It only fuels his retardedness.

my friend... it is all about

my friend... it is all about money... the media in the U.S. is not in the business of real news analysis, and when it thinks it does, it is so one sided that it disorts the public's understanding of issues... and i would say it is truer for the foreign policy realm compared to domestic politics... the former, in my humble understanding, is a matter of elite making decisions that have tremendous consequences for the masses here in the U.S. who fed bits of highly distorted news analysis.

Likud endorses an anti-semite?

Part of the reason why Beck was tossed off Fox was because of his anti-Semitic rants.

And wow, talk about making Israel a partisan issue...this is one of the worst political decisions the Likud party has made since praising Sarah Palin!

it is

last ditch effort by the current racist apartheid regime in Israel to get any kind of friends in the world. By their own admittance, Israel's standing in the world has never been this low. The only support comes from US congress (11% popularity rating among US population) and the Christian fundamentalist freaks (who hope Zionist continue the genocide and take over the entire area so that JC can come back and either convert or kill all the Jews). Add to that Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck - who else do you need?

Perfect

He is a great match for Lieberman. I hope he stays there. They can shoot Palestinian babies together.

If there's one thing Jewish

If there's one thing Jewish people LOVE, it's GLENN BECK!!!LOL
I'm sure Israel will be as tolerant about him mocking Holocaust survivors as nazis and bringing every hideous century-old stereotype back to the surface.(although, without actually addressing Jewish people specifically)

Someday

Someday soon people will realize what a blow-hard this man really is, and send him packing. Hopefully he will wind up working as a Chiropractor in Orlando and spend the rest of his days massing old, wrinkly back fat.

He already spends his days massaging the paranoid egos of elderly daytime television viewers, I figure he deserves to go get his hands dirty doing the real thing.

Orlando Chiropractor . Just a hint in case God is looking for a just punishment.

Seriously

an Orlando Chiropractor ? Brilliant. That's a fine fate for this man.

Then again, it might be too good for the likes of him. There are much worse cities to be exiled to in Florida. how about an Ocoee Chiropractor ? OR send him to be a Chiropractor in Kissimmee . These are much more fitting fates for him.

Can we get rid of this guy already?

Glenn Beck is one of the worst kind of people going. I was so happy to see that he was off of the air, and that he has pretty much disappeared from mainstream media. While there remain a few Beck cronies out there, they are not as disturbing as the man himself. Now if only Rush Limbaugh would be vanquished we all might live a lot better. I am unsure why the other users want him to be a chiropractor in Orlando, or a chiropractor Seattle, but as long as he is doing something else we will all be better off. Television is a better place without this clown.

Keep up the hard fight!

Even Fox News came to the

Even Fox News came to the conclusion that bigot like Beck is too much of liability. Beck committed few blunders that irked the Zionist mangers at Fox News. He blamed sázkové kancelá?e the Jews for killing Jesus, blamed the Rothschild’s for the conspiracy of creating the Federal Reserve and initiated unrelenting attack on the Jewish Billionaire George Soros. That was more than what Fox News, the Zionist Flag Ship, can handle and the decision was made to toss out the Monster which Fox News created.
