31. Rabbis are wrong
Brod ,   USA   (01.27.11)
The Rabbis are wrong. Glenn Beck is a strong Judeo-Christian and a friend of Israel. Only the godless Leftists would have a problem with him.
32. Soros in his own words
Isel Breshinski ,   USA   (01.27.11)
For those who want proof to the allegations of Glenn Beck regarding Soros there is nothing more compelling than Soros own book and multiple interviews that are on file: 1. Soros admitted that he was a Nazi collaborator. He was a child combatant who helped confiscate properties of Jews, surrender them to the Nazi Gestapo. 2. While his father was Jewish his mother converted to christianity and he declared himself as an atheist. He denied many time his Jewish affiliation. He is anti Jewish, anti Zionist, anti Israel by his own declarations. 3. He is anti American by creating multiple subversive organizations. 4. He is a convicted felon for inside trading fraud. There are millions of Americans who listen to Glenn Beck. Last year 110.000 met in Washington for him. He supports the Tea Party movement which is non partisan grass root organization. What the radical left rabbis want is to silence free speech that they believe that only belongs to them. I was never ashamed of a rabbi as I am now of 400 despicable characters who have the audacity to call themselves rabbi.
33. Rabbi's build Wedge Between Israel & USA
Dan ,   Florida   (01.27.11)
The Rabbi's ignore that Soros stated he was a collaboartor. They further ignore that Soros is deliberatly weakening the USA the staunchest defender of Israel and when we are gone who on Earth will the Rabbi's turn to or will they simply march into new ovens. Thanks to Soros, the Democrats & Obama became Jew Haters.
34. Rabbis support anti-Jew SOROS????
RayS ,   USA   (01.27.11)
How can even leftish Rabbis support a life long anti-semite like Soros?? Is the story of him as a teen ager helping Nazis locate Jews true?? I don't know but his recent anti-Israel activities is proof he is no friend.Being a rabbi is no guarantee of having brains.
35. somethings never change
2nd generation ,   usa   (01.27.11)
Trust the survivors and we ,their children .Soros will have to answer to a higher authority one day. These Rabbi's are no surprise. Check the history. The famous Rabbi Steven Wise did his best to sweep the Holocaust under the rug. While he was making life easier for his friends in Washington, my relatives were dying in Auschwitz.I've herad Beck and don't always agree with evrything he says but defending Soros over Beck is "indifesible.
36. Holocaust and Nazi used too much !!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (01.27.11)
Its a fact these words are used carelessly by many and trivialized. Beck should listen to the complainers. And the comment that Beck never says Soros was Jewish, does not matter. All the anti-semitic morons know, and just mentioning his name is an insult to us Jews.
37. HAHA!! This is what I call poetic justice
IRAN#1   (01.27.11)
It's a win-win for the civilized world!
38. Soros: "happiest year of my life".
Matt C ,   Canada   (01.27.11)
Soros himself funds "Jewish Funds for Justice", the organisation that put together this self-serving "protest". Soros is trying to silence Beck after Beck had the guts to tell his viewers about the network of anti-Israel and far-Left groups that Soros finances, and aired video where Soros said that the year of the Nazi occupation in Hungary was the "happiest year of my life" and "a very happy-making exhilarating experience". This was the year when he was adopted by an official of Hungary's Nazi government, and by Soros's own admission, he helped the Nazis identify and seize Jewish property in Hungary, and would do it again (and indeed, the multi-billionaire has never expressed remorse for his actions). These rabbis are essentially allowing themselves to be used by a Soros-funded organisation, the JFSJ, to condemn Beck simply for airing the video of Soros's confession. Soros himself cannot deny the allegations so he is using his organisations to attack Beck in his place. Of course, none of this is new, Soros, who has expressed his dislike for the very idea of Zionism, has been using his organisations to attack Beck for years now, trying to minimize him and label him an extremist, precisely because Beck is one of Israel's most important defenders in the American media, and Soros wants to isolate Israel and anyone who supports Israel (Beck is also one of Netanyahu's most important personal allies in the US media, the two have a long standing friendly relationship and that might also be part of why Soros wants to ruin Beck).
39. I would love to investigate these rabbis funding
zionist forever   (01.27.11)
Are they being paid off by Soros himself? Get a bunch of rabbis to fight his battles for him because it looks better if its rabbis condemning Beck than the man at the centre of the accusations defending himself? Just think with a law that allows the funding of people like this in Israel we will know if these people are being financed by Soros in which case they have no credibility or are they just a bunch of left wing anti Beck idiots. However they got their money rabbis should be studying Torah not trying raising money to to do something as trivial as trying to get Glen Beck off the air because he mentioned a few facts about the actions of an individual during the war. You can't hide from history and getting TV shows canceled won't make the truth go away. If they can get their hands on so much money they should give to charity like good jews would do and give it to charity.
40. REMINDS ME OF THE RUSSIAN JEWS
American ,   Los Angeles   (01.27.11)
who were sent to Siberia by fellow jews and died there.Check Aleksandr Soljenitsin's Archipelag GULAG.
41. Glenn Beck is a true friend of the Jewish people..
Ted Paull ,   Lyndhurst   (01.28.11)
..unlike the treacherous 400 Rabbis that sponsored the ad. These ultra-left rabbis do not represent the opinions of the majority of jews, nor of the majority of Americans. They are willfully blind to the realities of the threats against Israel. For a more fair and balanced understanding of Glenn Beck's ideas, better to listen to Rabbi Daniel Lapin, founder of the American Alliance of Jews and Christians. In any case, I'd trade all 400 of these Rabbis for one good Evangelical supporter of Israel.
