Fox News Suggests Rabbis Protesting Beck Are In the 'Vast Soros Conspiracy' Too

Glenn Beck has not only suggested that George Soros bears some personal responsibility for the Nazi theft of property from Holocaust victims, he has repeatedly claimed that Soros is part of a vast international conspiracy - a thinly veiled contemporary analog to the early 20th Century anti-Jewish conspiracy theories used to whip up hatred against Jews in America, Europe, and especially Nazi Germany.

As described in a Yahoo news story, Fox's official response doubles down on Beck's Jew-baiting by insinuating that the group of rabbis who wrote the protest letter to Murdoch were themselves part of the alleged Soros conspiracy.

The letter, addressed to News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch (see image here), requests that host Glenn Beck "be sanctioned by Fox News for his completely unacceptable attacks on a survivor of the Holocaust" -- philanthropist and financier George Soros -- and that Fox News chief executive "Roger Ailes apologize for his dismissive remarks about rabbis' sensitivity to how the Holocaust is used on the air." (News Corp. owns both Fox News and the Journal.)

In a statement provided to The Cutline, Joel Cheatwood, senior vice president of development for Fox News, said: "We haven't seen the ad, but this group is a George Soros backed left-wing political organization that has been trying to engage Glenn Beck primarily for publicity purposes."

1. So Fox now decides who is or is not Jewish enough...

Disgusting SOB's.

2. Everything that isn't in the faux pocket is automatically pro-Soros.

3. So, we are not to use the Nazi analogy? Looks like Faux Boobs is blaming the Jews

just like the Nazis. No apology here when it's an appropriate.
