Jewish Funds for Justice Inact Petition: Fire Glenn Beck !!!

(here's a clip of the petition to sign go to link )

In his recent three-day “Puppet Master” series, Glenn Beck accused George Soros, prominent Jewish philanthropist and Holocaust survivor, of “helping send the Jews to the death camps” while seeming to draw his material straight from the anti-Semitic forgery, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
I am outraged. I would like to add my name to the message below:

Dear Mr. Rupert Murdoch,

I am writing to express my outrage at the recent Fox News special "The Puppet Master." I agree with Abe Foxman's recent characterization of Glenn Beck's attack on George Soros as "not only offensive, but horrific, over-the-top, and out-of-line." On his show on November 9, Mr. Beck stated that "he would be fired" if he "started leveling baseless charges that can't be backed up." Given his false accusation that Mr. Soros "help[ed] send the Jews to the death camps," I hope you will act on Mr. Beck's prediction and end his tenure at Fox News.
Starting on November 9, Fox News Host Glenn Beck evoked anti-Semitic stereotypes to attack prominent Jewish philanthropist and Holocaust survivor George Soros. In his three-day “Puppet Master” series, Mr. Beck accused Soros of “helping send the Jews to the death camps” while seeming to draw his material straight from the anti-Semitic forgery, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Jewish Funds for Justice is fighting back against Beck's outrageous accusations and insinuations with a multifaceted campaign to get Beck's poison off the air.

If you share our outrage, we hope you will join us in taking action. We have set up three things you can do right now.

1. Sign a petition to Rupert Murdoch, calling on him to end Glenn Beck’s tenure at Fox News.

2. Share widely the powerful new video above that shows how Beck’s descriptions of George Soros mirror language from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and his images of Soros as “Puppet Master” seem drawn from images on White Supremacist websites.

3. Sign a petition to ADL National Director Abe Foxman, thanking him for his strong statement

Mr. Beck's behavior last week makes a mockery of Fox News’ repeated assurances to Jewish leaders that there was, in the words of Fox News executive and Glenn Beck producer Joel Cheatwood, a “unanimous understanding and agreement that the ultimate sensitivity must be exercised when referencing the Holocaust and they events leading up to it.” Falsely accusing a Holocaust survivor of “helping send the Jews to the death camps,” and then attacking him using anti-Semitic language and imagery, demonstrates no sensitivity whatsoever.

Our campaign is generating lots of great press coverage and comments from leaders across the political spectrum expressing outrage with Glenn Beck's attacks on George Soros.

* Commentary magazine’s blog said that “Beck’s denunciation of him [Soros] is marred by ignorance and offensive innuendo.” Click here to read Commentary piece.
