1. Beck is far Right
Jonathan Boyko ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.27.11)
Beck is certainly on the fringe. However, so is Soros. Soros funds tons of far-Left operations, as vicious in their demeanor as Beck is. It's a couple made in heaven.
2. We are eating our own
Yehoshuaj1e ,   Usa   (01.27.11)
Beck is the only one in the media defending Israel. Let's give him some slake .
3. To the 400 Rabbis. Beck is right
Sarah ,   Paris France   (01.27.11)
George Soros indeed admitted that his family were anti semitic Jews and he was happy that he did not have a Jewish look. He also admitted helped the Nazis confiscate Jewish property. He was sorry that he had to stop at the end of the war because he had enjoyed it so much.
4. Another .. Brod Wacko
Pedro   (01.27.11)
5. Glen Beck
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (01.27.11)
Perhaps if the Rabbis actually watched his programe every day they might learn something. Because Soros is a Survivor does not mean that he is not accountable for the very un- religeous things is is doing to destroy Europe and USA. Glen Beck is one of the few TV personalities that ACTUALLY sticks up for us. He has not lost the meaning of the Holocaust, he is actually trying to prevent one, by the what Soros is doing to try and bankrupt the country in order to take control. They are the left wing that runs the US Government at the moment. He aided in the mess up of UK, Greece and other countries with his corruption. Good for Glen Beck in exposing him. PLUS I have never heard Glen Beck refer to Soros as a Jew at all. or infer such anti-semetic remarks in his direction. Perhaps these Rabbis should stop sponging of our hard earned money and go to work and do something constructive!
6. Fox a good force Beck is not
Beck'sDarkSIde ,   china and israel   (01.27.11)
Becks investigative teams have revealed much corrption in the Obama administration to the point many had to resign It is a breath of fresh air from the monotone mainstream media a well needed voice however it has become increasingly obviously that Beck has a deep seated conflicted relationship with Jews and has said outrageous things about them from time to time which he then softens but the seed is sown.
7. 100,000 dollars wasted
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (01.27.11)
Give the money for shelters in Sderot, Ethiopian immigrants or elderly Jews in Russia. Instead these left wing Rabbis waste all of this money on an advertisement attacking a very good friend of Israel, Glenn Beck. Just ridiculous!
8. Whose Rabbis?
leo ,   nyc   (01.27.11)
Interesting...Would true Rabbis waste $100G on an ad supporting Soros?? And Soros is no friend of Israel...just search the Net and look at his record... maybe next these Rabbis will be supporting El Baradei who will help lead Egypt into chaos...
9. Soros
frank ,   israel   (01.27.11)
Soros is an a billionaire self hating jew and because of his part in continuing this course of action deserves nothing but distain and redicule from all. The fact that Rabbis write a letter in no way takes away from what soros is, an anti jew arabist!
10. What idiots!!! Beck is our friend.
Dan ,   USA   (01.27.11)
This just goes to prove that just because you are a rabbi doesn't mean you are smart. Glenn Beck is not our enemy and is, in fact, our friend. George Soros, on the other hand, IS our enemy and had done many things to harm Israel and manipulate the Jewish community here for his radical left wing totalitarian agenda. Give me Beck any day!
11. Mormons - friends of Israel? Really....
Progressive Populist ,   Stock/Jer, Swe/Isr   (01.27.11)
Condemn Beck and his fellow conservatives, who claim to love Israel, but really wants the jews to kneel and convert. Beware, there is danger ahead.
12. Are all 400 so called rabbis blind or ignorant?
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (01.27.11)
One needs a few minitutes to google Soros Nazi record.
13. How about Israelis being called Nazis?
David M   (01.27.11)
When are the rabbis going to protest the Left's comparison of Israelis to the Nazis? Shouldn't that be their concern too? Yes, Soros was only 14 and didn't have a choice during the war. However, he never, not once after the war, said he was sorry or showed any remorse for helping Hungarian fascists rob and kill the Jews.
14. Beck is a knucklehead!
mike ,   Namibia   (01.27.11)
15. Beck will come out on top in the end - he's right on
Scott ,   Haifa   (01.27.11)
16. "World War Two survivor George Soros" - does it mean
leo ,   usa   (01.27.11)
Soros is beyond reproach?

Maybe rabbis would be kind enough to explain the way by which Soros has survive WWII. I do not know about you all, but I am insulted by very idea of Soros being put into the same category with victims of Holocaust. Him and his mommy.

These rabbis just sold their credibility for how much?

17. Glenn Beck
I. Barr ,   USA   (01.27.11)
The misguided rabbis probably radical left and Soros subjects try to silence Glenn Beck the most pro Israel TV personality in history. George Soros collaborated with the NAZI. He admitted that many times. He never expressed regret and announced that he would do it again. He declared himself as non Jewish and is virulent anti Israel propagandist. He never gave anything to the Jewish community but he has scores of radical organizations such as Acorn which are aimed to set a radical left agenda. Soros is a convicted felon for monetary fraud which almost crushed the UK pound, Russia, Indonesia and alike. Google his name please and you find how this character ruined Jewish lives, anti Israel, anti Jewish, anti American. Glenn Beck is one of many critical of George Soros. What these Rabbis are trying to do is to supress free speach. If we have rabbis who may be paid off directly or indirectly to demonize the mouthpiece of pro Israel, pro Jewish they should change and become imams.
18. glenn beck is right, and those religious people
ghostq   (01.27.11)
should open their eyes, they r acting like hot headed not awar glenn actually help.
19. Beck is correct..Soros is the problem
safta of 12 ,   Israel   (01.27.11)
20. SOROS SHOULD REPLY
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.27.11)
We have no right to judge Soros until we hear what his reply is to Beck. From reading what Beck said, and from the comments here, it seems to me Soros is guilty, but not proven guilty through Beck's quips. Knowing Soros, I surmise he will not be quiet for long. As to the 400 rabbis, they are an insignificant bunch. Contribute the money to serve a better cause, gentlemen.
21. Shut Up Rabbi
GHook - US Jew ,   Chicago   (01.27.11)
Beck is such a great friend of Israel. He is a huge defender and support of Israel. He constantly fights against the leftist and Arab campaign to delegitimatize and defame Israel. He has dedicated countless shows to Israel's justified history. Soros on the other hand is a leftist scumbag. He funds antiIsrael groups and he undermines the USA. He is a scumbag. I would stand by a good Christian Zionist like Beck over a antiIsrael Self-Hating Jewish scumbag leftist like Soros!
22. These Rabbis don't represent me
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (01.27.11)
Who is motivating and pushing these Rabbis as if we all don't know . Beck is more Pro Israel than any other commentator. I support him I may disagree with a lot of his economic views but he is a friend to Israel and I support him for that.
23. #6, Beck in conflickt with Jews? Only those
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (01.27.11)
of Soros J-steet style. No wonder! Go ahead, Glenn Beck, you have my support.
24. Beck is hated by leftwingers especially the jewish ones
zionist forever   (01.27.11)
The leftists jews will slur anybody who says things they don't like to hear especially if they are home truths. They blamed Sarah Palin for the shooting of the jewish politician because of her campaign. They have had a go at Beck before because of the things he has said about george Soros. I sometimes watch the Glen Beck show because its abit of light heated criticism which of politicians & public figures like Soros. whilst Beck does have his own unique way of putting things I have never once heard him say anything that could be considered either anti semitic of insulting the Holocaust. If what Beck is saying is so terrible where is George Soros? Its Soros Beck is making these accusations about so if there is no truth to it then why isn't he in the media making sure the world knows Beck is a lier, sue him for slander if its not true. These accusations are made against 1 individual not the victims of the Holocaust as a whole or jews in general so these left wing rabbis represent nobody but themselves and Beck is just the host of a TV show which is generally disliked by leftists.
25. The Jews did this to themselves.
E ,   United States   (01.27.11)
For years Jews have been playing with that word very loosely. We joke about it in pop culture. We call everybody anti-semitic when they disagree with us. So this is what we get when we allow this. Good job liberal Jews.
26. Blen Beck, What else ?
Ibn Musa ,   The World   (01.27.11)
Beck has gone off an a religious tangent, his Friday shows have included a good deal of Christianity He became a Mormon and feel the audience must be constantly reminded of his new religion and the fact that he claims he's a recovering alcoholic Formerly, I really enjoyed Beck, nowadays a half hour is about all I can tolerate His constant use of blackboards for his sermonizing is old hat, I want to be entertained and informed, not return to school watching a teacher using a chalkboard
27. Michael @ 20, Berck's conclusions are based
leo ,   usa   (01.27.11)
exactly on what Soros said and had done. Soros can reply of course as it is his right, but it hardly will have bearing on facts. BTW, I doubt Soros will reply. He prefers to recruit those unscrupulous Rabbis instead and use them for smearing purposes.
28. US rabbis support Nazi collaboretor
Tomas ,   US   (01.27.11)
Shame on US rabbis and ther esupport for Nazi collaboretor. As a son of Aushwitz survivor(3545) Iam ungry with those Rabbis who are more concern with Soros that Holocaust survivors.I wonder how much they get pay with Soros money. Those Rabbis are the bottom of Jewish community and any members who belongs to the Temples that those Rabbis run should take good look at the mirror.
29. Soros and Rabbis?????
Rosie   (01.27.11)
Soros does not believe in Judaism nor any Rabbis...he only pays them off when he needs their voice for his PR. Soros is a traitor to the USA. He should be in jail. He should return all his $$$$ that he obtained thru illegal methods.
30. I stand behind Glenn.
Israeli 2   (01.27.11)
These leftist rabbis sicken me in a real way.
