Jewish groups furious after Glenn Beck depicts Bloomberg doing Nazi salute
With his wish to regulate the minutiae of other people's lives, it seems to me that Bloomberg is as Nazi as he can get away with -- so I see no problem in pointing that out. It's a serious, not a casual use of Nazi imagery
Right-wing pundit Glenn Beck sparked outrage among the Jewish community this weekend by comparing Michael Bloomberg to Adolf Hitler.
During his keynote address at the National Rifle Association's annual convention in Texas, Mr Beck targeted the New York mayor for robbing US citizens of 'responsibility' and subjecting them to a dictator-like regime.
Highlighting Mr Bloomberg's attempts to ban soda, reduce the size of tobacco displays and heighten gun control, Mr Beck revealed what he called his own 'new advertisement for New York' in which the Jewish mayor, sporting an arm band, appeared to be making a Nazi salute.
'We all know "I heart New York,"' he boasted to an enthusiastic crowd. 'I'd like to show you my new advertisement for it, new slogan... "You will love New York!"'
Both the Anti-Defamation League and Jewish organisation, B'nai B'rith, were upset by Mr Beck's comments and called for an apology. A spokesman for B'nai B'rith told ABC News: 'Glenn Beck, the keynote speaker at the NRA's annual convention, trivializes the Holocaust when he compares New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to Adolf Hitler.
'The casual use of Nazi imagery or words serves to undermine the atrocities of the Holocaust. Glenn Beck should apologize.'

Let's see here. You claim you are pro Israel, but yet you are clearly anti-Jew. Explain your way out of that one.
It wasn't right when the left did it to George Bush; it not right when conservatives do it. Beck seems to be more interested in cheap theatrics that substance anymore.
It wasn't right when the left did it to George Bush, but you didn't complain about it at the time, did you.
Typical of the left. Don't look at what we have done and compare, don't listen to what we have said and compare. Just let us project our opinions into your mind. You have no right to challenge us because we are morally better than you. As if!!!
Funny, I don't recall this same "outrage" when the left constantly had pictures of Bush and Cheney as hitler for 8 years running.
Selective outrage!
No one hates jews more than jews!
"I don't recall this same "outrage" when the left constantly had pictures of Bush and Cheney as hitler for 8 years running."
Bush and Cheney deserved it. They started two wars and screwed up the economy.

Yep. Bush and Cheney were the ones that attacked the World Trade Center.
Oh, wait…
You're an idiot 5:11.
Luke, are being so damn stupid that you are denying that Bush/Cheney started two wars and screwed up the economy? I thought that you were smarter than that.
Luke is religious and so only sees what he wants to see.
Appearently anon 5:11 seems clueless that the congress which controlled fannie mae and freddie mac in the time leading up to the crash was controlled by the DEMOCRATS who refused to reign in the free money policies even when warned of the danger. Barney Frank was the chairman of the banking committee and was primarily responsible. But the truth is irrelevant, ITS ALL BUSH'S FALT!

Oh? Much like leftard warmist idiots call climate realists "deniers", in reference to "holocaust deniers".
Let them bitch about that too, or are they too selective?
