4um: Glenn Beck: “Jesus and Hitler had a lot in common”

It’s unbelievable that he said it, but it’s not as bad as it sounds. It’s just Beck’s authoritarian mind at work, in a really bizarre false equivalency way. In a discussion that revolves around honesty, comedian D.L. Hughley bemoans the lack of a clear front-runner in the presidential race. Beck equates that with his notion of electing based on Cult of Personality:

Watch

BECK: …(Y)ou`re saying that people want somebody that they just think they have all the answers. I`m saying that…

HUGHLEY: No. That`s who we voted for, who we always voted for.

BECK: OK.

HUGHLEY: I`m saying that that seems to be who we vote for.

BECK: I think people want somebody who have room for doubt, but also have the confidence. I think Jesus Christ and Hitler had a lot in common, and that was they could both look you in the eye and say, “I`ve got an answer for you, follow me.” One was evil; one was good. But they both could look you in the eye and have an answer for you. There are very few politicians right now that can look you in the eye and you believe it.

Again, with this kind of incisive political thought, I must ask the question: Why does Glenn Beck have his own show?

I thought that what Jesus and Hitler had in common is that they both didn't smoke... :P

He must just do this stuff so people who hate him will tune in and give him SOME ratings. I believe he is dead last in cable talk shows. By a lot. The only people watching are critics hoping to get a great money quote to rip him a new one. And he rarely disappoints.

well my ex mother-in-law gave me a book several years ago written by Beck. good lord.. so he has some appeal apparently.

Was it Hitler Hitler, Iraq Hitler, Foxman Hitler, North Korea Hitler, Perle Hitler, Syria Hitler, Libya Hitler, Feith Hitler, Podhertz Hitler, Iran Hitler, Chertoff Hitler, Zundell Hitler, Esso Hitler, Bush Hitler, Wolfowitz Hitler, who?

Lately Beck has been fear mongering about school children being attacked by the "Islamo-fascists" comparing it to what happened in Russia. The only problem is that we discovered the Russian event was a false flag attack.

Albert speer was very plain about what Hitler ate and he shared many meals over many years with Hitler. I will take Speers word.

Speer knew Hitler well after 1932....If you read his book you will find references where Hitler openly made fun of those eating meat.

Vegetarians fart a lot more, sure, but there was no way anyone was going to finance a film called "Triumph Of The Gut Flora", not without more arm twisting than I'll ever do...

Rynn Berry is a vegetarian and I suspect he plays loose with words of others so that Hitler will not be one of his kind.

Ah, right you are. Well this article, with the ubiquitous Berry, does say his secondary sources seem ok.

I dunno if he smoked or not. He did become a vegetarian around then, though. He had a very, very weird sexuality (he was in love with lots of women, one of whom died mysteriously, but there is no evidence he ever slept with any of them, which goes along with his tolerance for flaming homosexuals in very high places in his government), and he seemed to have no problem with others chowing down on whatever they wanted and drinking as much as they liked. There's lots of evidence that he was addicted to methamphetamines, and those drugs destroy your appetite and tolerance for alcohol.

Hitler had a name that he called those that ate meat and it escapes me now but will find it.

It's ok Cyni, I believe you. I was merely curious and originally just trying to give Peetie a hard time.

I still have to find the name he used to satisfy myself, hate it when memory fails me.

What if, in addition to masterminding the destruction of The Jooos, Hitler had also had a job selling womens shoes?

Except for the rumored relationship with his too young niece (or rather half-niece) who died, I haven't read anything else strange about his sex life.

Do Israel Firsters have to compete to host these TV shows? How are they appointed?

Who was the guy in Ann Arbor, MI or wherever who collected women's shoes? And then there was the enema bandit. That was IL.
