Great point, we should abolish everyone who was a Nazi sympathizer and everything they stand for. Can we start with Planned Parenthood?

Nazi meetings were the greatest. They always had plenty of rugelach and coffee.

When Dilling returned home to Illinois, she went on tour showing her movies and describing the "workers' paradise" as anything but. She wrote The Red Network—A Who's Who of Radicalism for Patriots (1934), a self-declared exposé of communist front activity in the U.S., which was widely circulated (100,000 copies are claimed). As an example of her technique, in the entry for Albert Einstein, which links him to various communist organizations, Dilling notes: "married to Russian; his much press-agented relativity theory is supposedly beyond the intelligence of almost everyone except himself." She offers an apologia for the Nazi confiscation of Einstein's property in Germany, saying it was because he was a Communist. The entry for Eleanor Roosevelt reads "Socialist sympathizer and associate, pacifist". A Protestant minister, Harry Emerson Fosdick, was listed because his books were "highly recommended by socialists and other radicals" [9]

She then wrote The Roosevelt Red Record and Its Background (1936), condemning the New Deal, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and officials in his administration, claiming they had strong links to Communists. In The Octopus (1940), which she wrote under the pseudonym of Rev. Frank Woodruff Johnson, she attacked the Jewish Anti-Defamation League and linked Jews to communism. It was then that she shifted her emphasis to Jews as causing all the trouble in the world, partly based on her readings of the Talmud.
As debate raged about whether the U.S. should get involved in World War II, she became an activist in two organizations inspired by the antisemitic radio priest Father Charles Coughlin: Mothers' Peace Movement, which she co-founded with Lyrl Clark Van Hyning, and We the Mothers Mobilize for America, based in Chicago. She was also involved with the America First Committee, famously associated with Charles Lindbergh and other prominent isolationists and opponents of the war.

After the Pearl Harbor attack, Dilling was indicted, along with 28 others, which led to the Great Sedition Trial of 1944.[1] The case finally ended in a mistrial after the death of the presiding judge, Edward C. Eicher. The Chicago Tribune editorialized on the trial as "one of the blackest marks on the record of American jurisprudence".[1] The Smith Act under which the prosecution took place was later found to be unconstitutional in several rulings by the Supreme Court.

In the 1950s, she was a frequent contributor to Conde McGinley's paper Common Sense, and her name often joined his in joint-letters to congressmen.

On October 18, 1943 she and Albert were divorced after 25 years of rocky marriage.[10] Her second husband, Jeremiah Stokes (1877–1954), was a lawyer and author. He published the antisemitic The Plot Against Christianity in 1964, which included over 200 pages of photocopies from the Soncino edition of the Talmud, with his wife's underlines added.

Dilling's been dead since 1966 and has not published in 46 years. Why would Beck find a discredited anti-semite suddenly newsworthy?

Quantum Windbag: Margaret Sanger (the founder of Planned Parenthood) held some VERY disturbing views, but no one associated with Planned Parenthood today still does. IMO, you have been unfair to a fine organization that has done much good.

He's also promoted to the Coming Insurection to understand the mindset of Communist revolutionaries.

He has a tendency to recommend that people inform themselves as much as possible from all possible sources. What a concept.

However, checking his book list, I don't see this author mentioned. Nor do I see which book he was promoting, nor any context from his show about which book of her's he is apparently reporting. I assume that they are referring to the radio show since His Television show was an episode on Benjamin Franklin and seems completely irrelevant to anything that they are mentioning with this woman.

So perhaps you could elaborate, and explain the context?

I just posted a report on what Beck has done.

And that's why your opinion is YOUR opinion. I encourage you to hold on tight to it...embrace it...love it...never let go of it. As a matter of fact, hide it so no one knows it's there....

Is anyone here pissed off that their mom didn't go to a Planned Parenthood office when she was pregnant with you?

Perhaps you could produce what work he was recommending and in what context?

Personally, I think you should get to know and understand everything, regardless of the source.

Oh, and no you didn't post a report on what Beck has done. You posted a report on what Media matters said without providing any sort of reference, context, or accurate depiction of what Glenn did or said. In otherwords, you are just posting a smear.

Problem with your reasoning is that Beck isn't a Nazi Sympathizer or stands for anything like what they stand for.

Considering the man did two television episodes against anti semetism last week, you'd think you people would have the honesty to admit it.

The author attended meetings, and then reported that the rhetoric at the meetings did not match the facts on the ground. I don't watch Beck, or obsess over him like you, but I would bet that he was using her book to discredit socialism, not support it.

Your post tainted him by taking what he said out of context and implying he supports Nazism. The real truth is that he is an informed person, well read, and expects his liteners to be the same. One of the reasons he is so popular is he does not treat everyone like and idiot, he teaches.

He is definitely a nut case, but he is a smart nut case.

yeah...that's about typical...choose a starting point that suits your needs. I guess you won't have to worry much longer...I expect the push to silence conservative radio / TV programming will begin soon enough. Who needs freedom of speech anyways. It's entirely over-rated.

I'm sure the whole of the nation would much rather listen to government controlled broadcasts.

I searched glennbeck.com and there are no references to Dilling, nor is any book written by her among the recommended texts. Either Glenn Beck has stepped back from a bad choice or this never happened.

hot damn....I'd love to see you back that up...show my condemnation posts...PLEASE!!! I AM FUCKING BEGGING YOU!!!! And then you can prove how EVERYONE thinks I'm a moron. That list is short...and comprised ONLY of leftwing nutbags who can't stand an honest debate.

Apparently I touched a nerve with the freedom of speech thing...it's hard to defend that whole government controlled broadcasting thing isn't it?
