I don’t know many people who would respond well to being compared to a terrorist. Add Glenn Beck to the list.
After Al Jazeera published an op-ed on Sunday comparing Beck to Al Qaeda operative Anwar Al-Awlaki, Beck unleashed an epic response to the news outlet on Tuesday that included pointing out Hillary Clinton’s love of the Mideast news outlet.
At one point, Beck went line-by-line to dismantle the op-ed by Palestinian-American Ahmed Moor, who accused Beck of hating “homosexuals and strong women.” Beck pointed out that not only does he have homosexual friends, but also married a very strong woman. He also noted that he came out strong against the Oslo shooter on Monday, calling the man “monster.”
That, however, was just the beginning. Beck went on to use his humor and satire to roast the outlet and author:

Posted on July 26, 2011 at 5:00pmI am always fascinated by leftists who are patently incapable of intelligent discourse. Those who, instead of presenting a factual argument, simply label, smear, curse and attack. The arguments devolve instead, into who can “one up” another, all the while becoming more and more strident, hoping to drown out the opponents. When I bother to waste time debating liberals, I ask them to agree up front to some rules – no labels, no name calling, no arguments based on wishful philosophies, only cold, hard fact. Truly, I have discovered that this is a gargantuan waste of time, as I have never had a liberal last more than 30 seconds without violating the rules. Your arguments are specious and devoid of reason, and based completely on intimidation and suppression of any argument that differs from your own. Watch any video of those who use the word “hate” in order to attempt to suppress speech from their opponents. You’ll notice something striking. The accused is usually calm, the accuser is practically foaming at the mouth, a sure sign that, while they are gifted at cursing, there isn’t a single coherent thought that has ever made it past their lips. I’m sorry to tell you this, but you and your ilk who fling the word “tolerance” around like a mace, are sadly incapable of reasoning on this level. Anyone who disagrees is a “hater”. I know…there is no hypocrisy from the left because, like all “tolerant” liberals (so long as you agree 100%) the end ALWAYS justifies

Is there any argument or defense for Beck comparing the victims of the Right Wing Christian Mad Man to Nazis. He called them hitler youth because they were at a political camp that disagress with, his argument that any child sent to a politcal theme camp is akin to a member of the Hitler youth, I guess that also goes for the 9/12 Camps various Tea Party groups have set up.

Posted on July 26, 2011 at 8:30pm“So yeah, heres my take, would you send your kids to socialist party sponsored political indoctrination camp? Comparing 9/12 summer classes which combine American history and constitutional principles to political indoctrination is asinine.”
9/12 camps are nothing more than tbag indoctrination centers. They teach Beck approved history with their own reactionary slant. But, again that is not the issue, the issue is that Beck did not qualify his statement, he said all camps that have a politcal core are like Hitler Youth Camps, that would include the 9/12 camps as Hitler Youth camps (the irony). The bigger issue is that Beck said anything against the victims of this Right Wing Christian Loon.
By the way it was Norway’s Labour Party Government that fought the Nazis in WWII.

Posted on July 26, 2011 at 4:02pmI never heard him make that comparison, but political youth camps do sound kinda creepy.

Report Post »Canada_Goose
Posted on July 26, 2011 at 4:15pmThe correct analogy for Mr. Beck would have been the Young Pioneers, a movement which is still alive in most communist countries. During the existence of the USSR, thousands of Young Pioneer camps and Young Pioneer Palaces were built exclusively for Young Pioneers, which were free of charge, sponsored by the government and Trade Unions . There were many newspapers and magazines published for Young Pioneers in millions of copies.
But as usua,l Mr. Beck cannot resist the over the top Nazi comparison.
I personally was a member of B’nai Birth Youth Organaziation when I was in my early teens. Although the organization has changed greatly behind-the-scenes over the years, its original tenets still remain true: dedication to Jewish life, a pluralistic approach, commitment to community service and social action.

The conflicts between The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost to Allah is incredible and irrefutable.That’s just one of many examples that separate the two. When I say separate I’m not referring to the difference between protestant and catholic or Orthodox to Baptist. I’m speaking of such a wide divide that nothing can remotely compare the two in its principal theologies and practices.
You can word play and deflect the main issue by defining words within Arabic,Hebrew,Aramaic or even caveman drawings from a wall in the mountains of China. It only proves that man and especially Mohammad has hijacked the Term God and used it for his twisted murderous ways. I challenge you to find me something within the Koran, Hadiths, and the Sira (taking abrogation in mind. You do know what that mean dont you?) that are in line and based on the words of Christ and the Father.
You sir not I are proving their ignorance.

Report Post »GOD is a title and not a name. The name of the creator of the universe is spelled Yod, Hey, Vav, Hay. Pronounced Yahweh, Yahveh, Yeh HaVah, or similar but it is not pronounced ALLAH.
Isaiah 45:
So that you may know that I am the LORD,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
4 For the sake of Jacob my servant,
of Israel my chosen,
I summon you by name
and bestow on you a title of honor,
though you do not acknowledge me.
5 I am the LORD, and there is no other;
apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you,
though you have not acknowledged me,
6 so that from the rising of the sun
to the place of its setting
people may know there is none besides me.
I am the LORD, and there is no other.
7 I form the light and create darkness,
I bring prosperity and create disaster;
I, the LORD, do all these things.

What I said is true. Ask any Arabic speaking Christian (they do exist you know), and they will tell you Allah is the Arabic word for God. The Arabic translation of the Christian Bible contains “Allah”. Arabic is a Semitic language, like Hebrew, and thus it should be no surprise to anyone that the Hebrew “Elohim” and Arabic “Allah” are cognates. That is not word play, it is a fact (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah).
So, when you say “The conflicts between The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost to Allah is incredible and irrefutable”, you are saying that there is a conflict between the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and “God”, since Allah is just the Arabic word for God. So, what you say is nonsense.
If you were a missionary sent to teach Arabic speaking people about Christianity, what word would you use in Arabic to mean God, if they knew no English at all, if not Allah?
Now, the rest of your post incorrectly asserts that I am arguing that the Muslim understanding of God is the same as the Christian understanding of God. I never made that argument, so I will not even attempt to defend it. You will have to take that up with someone else who feels that way.
My point is “Allah” is the Arabic word equivalent to the English word “God”, and the Finnish word “Jumala”, and the German word “Gott” (which is a cognate of the English “God”).
If you cannot concede that fact, then you are choosing to remain ignorant.

Hallelujah! That is in English. Do you know how it reads in Arabic by Christians when they read the same verses in the Arabic translation of the Holy Bible?
Are you aware that there are other languages in the world besides English and they don’t all use the English words “Lord” and “GOD” when referring to the Christian Deity? Those are English words…
For example, Finnish Christians say “Jumala” instead of “God”, and “Herra” instead of “Lord”. DOes that mean that they worship a different God?
Ignorance…

Ok maybe I’m not following you.
Allah the God Islam prays to
IS NOT
the same God as I as a Christian pray to.
Do you agree?

The same can be said of Jews and Christians. There is no trinity in the Torah, the Jews do not worship a three in one god but a single entity, in many many ways similar to Allah, something to be expect coming from the children of Abraham. Same goes for the Mormons, a central mormon belif is that God and Christ are seperate beings.
As for the author of evil, was not Lucifer the first among the Angels prior to his fall, before God there was nothing he is the creator of all, of the Angels of the Heavens and all that is below. If God does not tempt, explain the story of Job?
