Once again refusing to offer any specifics, Glenn Beck claimed on Friday that The New York Times took “things” that he “never said” out of context to “smear” him.

According to Nexis, Beck's name appears in two separate Times blog posts in the past two days - both criticizing him for comparing a youth camp in Norway where scores of young people were massacred to the “Hitler youth.”

In a blog post headlined “A madman and his manifesto” Timothy Egan wrote:

The bodies of those Norwegian children slaughtered by a terrorist had yet to be fully recovered, let alone buried, when Glenn Beck compared the victims to Nazis.

The summer camp where children of the Norwegian Labor Party went for soccer, swimming, political debates and lectures “sounds a little like, you know, the Hitler Youth,” Beck said in his national radio broadcast.

Over at The Lede, Robert Mackey wrote:

A good deal less attention has been paid to the ideas of the dozens of people he killed, among them young members of a Norwegian political party who were attending a summer conference at a campground on Utoya.

Into that void stepped Glenn Beck, who, with apparently little or no information about the victims, told listeners of his radio show that the conference of young activists “sounds a little like the Hitler Youth.”

“I mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics? Disturbing.”

There is simply no mitigating context in the comments Egan and Mackey highlight that can explain away the offensiveness of what Beck said:

Well, 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 there was a bombing that happened. And as the thing started to unfold, and then 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.

This is the second time Beck has complained he was being dishonestly attacked since he came under fire for those statements.
