The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has had enough of the hatred and Nazi imagery being promoted by teabaggers and Glenn Beck. Today, ADL issued a report, Rage Grows in America: Anti‑Government Conspiracies. This report has heft coming from ADL. It should cause concern among the GOPers who are fomenting the rage. (It should, but it won't.)
ADL singles out Glenn Beck from FOX News for special recognition. Here's part of what the organization had to say about Beck:
The most important mainstream media figure who has repeatedly helped to stoke the fires of anti-government anger is right-wing media host Glenn Beck, who has a TV show on FOX News and a popular syndicated radio show. While other conservative media hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, routinely attack Obama and his administration, typically on partisan grounds, they have usually dismissed or refused to give a platform to the conspiracy theorists and anti-government extremists. This has not been the case with Glenn Beck. Beck and his guests have made a habit of demonizing President Obama and promoting conspiracy theories about his administration.That's Glenn Beck in a nutshell -- a radical, extremist nutshell.
On a number of his TV and radio programs, Beck has even gone so far as to make comparisons between Hitler and Obama and to promote the idea that the president is dangerous.
