Glenn Beck, American right-wing broadcaster, continues to grab headlines even after Fox. On a US radio show Monday, he compared the Norwegian kids killed in brutal massacre to 'Hitler Youth.'
“As the thing started to unfold and there was a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like the Hitler Youth. Who does a camp for kids that’s all about politics? Disturbing,” Beck said on radio, of 76 killed during massive shooting on Utoya Island at summer camp.
“Glenn Beck’s comments are ignorant, incorrect and extremely hurtful," condemned Torbjorn Eriksen, former press secretary to Norway’s prime minister, to the Daily Telegraph.
"Hitler Youth" has become a top trend on Twitter, as comments of discust keep pouring in.
"Offensive, disgusting: US far-right mouthpiece #Beck compares murdered Norwegian children with 'Hitler youth' http://tgr.ph/p2BOhZ," said Michael Shapcott on Twitter.
So Glenn Beck is now calling the Oslo murder victims 'Hitler Youth.' mediamatters.org/mmtv/201107250… What a hateful litttle prick," wrote SuperStripers.
"It seems that #Glen Beck not only looks like a Redneck but also talks like one and no wonder, he's Tea party's darling. http://t.co/XNAYecm," said Manfred Wolff.

Why am I NOT surprised that Beck would come to the defense of that neonazi terrorist in Norway?
It is true. The Norwegian Labor Party is anti-Israel. They openly support Hamas and the Palestinians. The Island was being used as a Political camp for the youth of the Labor Party. They were practicing running naval blockaids, against the evil Israel the day before, they were openly calling Israel an occupier. They think it is fine that Hamas kills Jews, they're good with that!!!! It is sooo ironic that a crazy man targets these same kids for destruction and death. So Glenn Beck is actually exactly right in his comparison. What Norway wished upon Israel, came upon them! I wonder if they would now be against murdering the Jews? Interesting...
