Glenn Beck Calls Russian Homophobia Nazi-Like "Hetero-Fascism"





I am not a fan of Glenn Beck and typically view the man as a loud mouthed nutcase.  But even crazy people can be right on occasion.  An Example?  Glenn Beck's condemnation of Russia's anti-gay laws and raging homophobia in which he compares Russia with Nazi Germany. Gay Star News looks at Beck's commentary on Russia.  Here are highlights:


Conservative US radio host Glenn Beck has likened the mood against homosexuals in Russia to that of Nazi Germany towards Jewish people in response to comments by Russian actor Ivan Okhlobystin that he thinks gay people should be burned alive.
Beck made the comments on CNN while talking about the controversy over Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson’s recent comments about homosexuality – saying they paled in comparison to what was happening in Russia.
‘Do you know what’s happening in Russia? One of their biggest stars on television said that homosexuals should be put into the ovens alive,’ Beck told CNN’s SE Cupp.
‘I didn’t think you could make the Holocaust worse but he’s like “Why the gas chamber? That seems a little too humane. Let’s put them alive in the oven.”’
‘I will stand with GLAAD. I will stand with anybody who will stand up and say that’s crazy. That’s dangerous. That’s hetero-fascism. That’s what that is. And we’re talking about Duck Dynasty Really? Really?’
