Professional Idiot Glenn Beck Equates Veterans with Communists
A caller to Becks show claimed that the Iraq Afghanistan Veterans for America accepts money from Soros and MoveOn.org. Beck, without taking a breath to verify the veracity of the claim responds that “what [liberal donors such as Soros are] doing is, they’re creating the misery, and they’re coming out and organizing all these people—under the guise of labor unions or something as innocuous sounding as, you know, Iraqi [sic] and Afghanistan Veterans Foundation [sic]—but it is Soros and Communists and radical money and they are tying and duping people in as much as they can,” Beck said, referring to an organization whose activities include lobbying for veterans policy on Capitol Hill, giving away N.F.L. and concert tickets to veterans, and working to improve mental health.
I.A.V.A.’s executive director and founder, Paul Rieckhoff—who served as a first lieutenant in Iraq from 2003-2004—responded that “the I.A.V.A. receives no money from MoveOn.org,” he told me. “We’re happy to take MoveOn’s money if they’ll send it, and we’re happy to take Fox News’s money if they’ll send it, too. Veterans affairs shouldn’t be a partisan issue. It’s all about Americans uniting behind our veterans.”

There is now a national campaign to call Beck and make ridiculous claims just to see what he'll put on the air.
