Terror in Norway: Shootout, bomb explosions kill 11

The Guardian isn't published on Subdays. It's Sunday sister-paper is called The Observer.

Since izzy could not respond in a way more substantive than quoting Charlie Brooker, I'll reply to what Brooker wrote in his column.

Charlie Brooker, that paragon of civility and good taste who in a column he wrote for The Guardian about George Bush asked "John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley, Jr. – where are you now that we need you?"

Glenn Beck likens the young people massacred on the Norwegian island of Utøya to the Nazi party's youth wing Link to this video Glenn Beck, the rightwing US broadcaster and Tea Party favourite, has compared those who were massacred on the Norwegian island of Utøya to the Nazi party's youth wing.

"There was a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like the Hitler youth, or, whatever. I mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics. Disturbing," said Beck on his syndicated radio show.

The comments were condemned by Torbjørn Eriksen, a former press secretary to Jens Stoltenberg, Norway's prime minister.

Eriksen described the comment as "a new low" for Beck, telling the Daily Telegraph: "Young political activists have gathered at Utøya for over 60 years to learn about and be part of democracy, the very opposite of what the Hitler Youth was about. Glenn Beck's comments are ignorant, incorrect and extremely hurtful."

Sagging ratings, a string of damaging remarks and an exodus of advertisers combined earlier this year to end Beck's tenure on the US cable network Fox News.

A campaign to pressure advertisers to boycott the pundit's daily slot had been gathering pace, while Beck was embroiled in battles erupting from his frequently aired conspiracy theories involving individuals ranging from the financier George Soros to Barack Obama.

His denunciation of Soros included reference to his wartime childhood in Hungary. In remarks that were decried as "monstrous" by Jewish groups, the broadcaster claimed: "Here's a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps."

However, his latest comments about the "disturbing" nature of political youth camps may come as a surprise to Beck's followers in the Tea Party movement.

The anti-tax, anti-immigration movement has been holding summer camps in states including Florida and Missouri where children have been taught a curriculum based on God, the US constitution and "the defence of economic liberty".

A day after shocking the world by likening the victims of the Norway massacre to the Hitler youth, Glenn Beck took to the airwaves to defend his right to use Hitler comparisons -- and argued that any impediment on his freedom to do so, or criticism of such remarks, portends the Nazification of America.

TAMPA — Here's another option now that the kids are out of school: a weeklong seminar about our nation's founding principles, courtesy of the Tampa 912 Project.

The organization, which falls under the tea party umbrella, hopes to introduce kids ages 8 to 12 to principles that include "America is good," "I believe in God," and "I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable."

Organized by conservative writer Jeff Lukens and staffed by volunteers from the 912 Project, Tampa Liberty School will meet every morning July 11-15 in borrowed space at the Paideia Christian school in Temple Terrace.

"We want to impart to our children what our nation is about, and what they may or may not be told," Lukens said.

In other words, the ruling libtard party had created an island paradise for the libtard party youth movement while simultaneously importing sufficient numbers of muslim immigrants to bring about 86 forcible rapes amongst the peasantry over the past year in a country in which forcible rape would otherwise not exist....

Is there a European precedent for rulers going totally tone deaf like that? The answer is yes:

What about the other 1800 rapes in just 2 of those 5 years?
