Glenn Beck's smearing of George Soros echoes the anti-Semitic attacks of the Hungarian far right and is a perverse twisting of his experience with the Nazis, says Kati Marton. It would be laughable if the Fox host didn't command such a huge audience.
Glenn Beck’s anti-George Soros tirade sounds very familiar to me. The Hungarian far right has been leveling those same charges for years, darkly hinting at the financier’s “omnipotence,” his ties to a global conspiracy, and his penchant for bringing down governments (soon our own!).
