Thank you for the April 8 editorial “Glenn Beck Is Wrong.” It was timely and much needed. Having seen clips of his remarks, I agree that his equating biblical principals of social and economic justice with communism and Nazism is insulting and wrong. I looked to his website to see his words in context but was unable to find that portion of the March 2 broadcast regarding social justice in the archives. I did listen to the lengthy justification of his remarks that he made later as well as his pontifications on other subjects. All have the same disturbing undercurrents.
It appears to me that it is Mr. Beck who is perverting the meaning of social justice and the motivation of Christians who take seriously the 2,000 verses in the Bible related to issues of poverty, injustice, oppression, hunger, illness and disease as we try to live out our Christianity.
