Conservative radio host Glenn Beck said Monday that a Labour Party youth camp that was attack in Norway Friday “sounds a little like the Hitler Youth.”
“Saturday I was following the news of the shooting in Norway and the explosion in Norway, which happened what on Friday,” Beck recalled. “When we heard the explosion everybody was willing to say, it’s Muslim extremists, it’s Muslim extremists. I don’t think we made a comment on it because we didn’t know other than a bombing had happened, and as the thing started to unfold and there was a shooting a political camp, which sounds a little like the Hitler Youth or you know whatever. Who does a camp for kids that’s all about politics? Disturbing. But, anyway, so there’s this political camp and so crazy man goes and starts shooting kids.”
Politicususa noted that Beck’s 9/12 Project held its own political camp for kids this summer.
I betcha Becky's right-wing camp was a helluva lot more like the Hitler Youth than a Labour Party summer camp in Norway.
I'm noticing that washed-up wingnuts get crazier and more outrageous the closer their 15 minutes are to being over. I hope Beck's head goes off like a volcano.
Just as an aside, here's a 1940 photo of a platoon of Hitler Motor Youth in training:
Note the others waiting their turn on the motorbike and hoping the rider doesn't crash and break it. In today's Repug Youth camps, they each get their own or they snivel. They must teach snivelling there too, since Repugs are so good at it..

It seems like Glenda B. has forgotten Norway's contentious history with the Nazis (see: Quisling), and how much they might really f'ing hate that sort of comparison. Not that Becky would care, but I just would hope some Norwegian would bop him in the nose.
Keep up the good work!

If you look at that pic closely, you can see the future pope second from the right.
Had I been a Wehrmacht trooper, I would have prayed for a posting to Norway as opposed to, say, Stalingrad. Quislings got theirs as soon as the war was over.
Who knew zee Pope was a HJ biker? Probably has his own fleet of Holy Moto Guzzis now. :-)
... Hitler Youth ...
Beck just has to look in the mirror to find one.
