Quote
Glenn Beck compares Norway victims to Hitler Youth WASHINGTON – Rightwing US broadcaster Glenn Beck has come under proverbial fire again, this time for comparing the Labor party camp on the Norwegian island of Utoya, where dozens of youths were gunned down Friday, to Hitler's infamous Hitler Youth.
"There was a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like, you know, the Hitler youth. I mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics? Disturbing," Beck stated in his radio show Monday.
"It's not a lie if you believe it." -- George Costanza The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. --Bertrand Russel
This may be very dangerous... A frightening view into the mind of the author. Much of the media and his lawyer portray him as insane. That may be... but not unintelligent. I would expect that there are many who might embrace the tenets, and others who are already inclined as anti muslim, who may be stimulated to action.
An extraordinarily long read (1500 pages), I have begun, if only to try and understand the story. Nine years in the making.
The Crusades revisited? It's not like this has never happened before.

I tried to read this manifesto, but I can't take this jerk. This guy is a nutjob.

None of us will likely take on 1510 pages of reading, but if you do download the pdf file, scroll down to pages 12 and 13... Just for a flavor of the way Berwick/Breivik draws out the rationale. There was talk of not releasing the writings, but they would surely surface anyway. I am concerned that easily led people with racial or religious bias might be drawn in. We have not seen the last of this, by any means. I recall back in early 1990's, reading the writings of groups who used narrowly drawn excerpts from the Koran to justify violent acts. It was akin to a Boy Scout movement in its' portrayal of moral right and duty.
We'll have to watch this over the coming few weeks to see if there are any immediate reactions from extremist groups... or as Berwick seems to prefer, from dedicated individuals.
Sadly, as Faux Gnus, The Tea Party, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin, there many that are weak and foolish sheep ready to drink the Kool-aide.
It will not matter that this crap is read or not, because there are several who already believe this racist, sexist nonsense and publish their own set of ridiculousness.
