Glenn Beck is an asshole

Glenn Beck, ugh. Nothing but a classless asshole. For a guy that appears on FOX News, which historically is pro-Israel (thank you, Rupert!), this is a sad, sad man.
Glenn Beck suggested that the Jews killed Jesus on his Fox News show Tuesday.

Beck's claim occurred in the midst of a long monologue about religion. In it, Beck attacked, among other things, social justice, liberation theology, Jeremiah Wright and Rev. Jim Wallis. He singled out liberation theology as a "perversion" that is connected to Marxism and presents the poor as victims of injustice.

Beck went on to say:

"This is kind of complex, because Jesus did identify with the victims. But Jesus was not a victim. He was a conqueror...Jesus conquered death. He wasn't victimized. He chose to give his life....If he was a victim, and this theology was true, then Jesus would've come back from the dead and made the Jews pay for what they did. That's an abomination."
Umm, Glenn, it was the Romans that killed him, not the Jewish people. You can watch the video here...comments begin at the six minute mark.
