The Salt Lake Tribune published an opinion piece on July 27 by an “art historian and educator” named Alexandra Karl that has some members of Glenn Beck’s staff so disgusted that they say they’d be happy if he took legal action.
Titled “Karl: Glenn Beck’s Nazi Exhibit,”
the op-ed is both riddled with factual inaccuracies and filled with horrific
implications about Beck’s character.
“Beyond plain unadulterated stupidity,” is how
Beck’s co-host Pat Gray described it on radio Tuesday. “That’s character
assassination and defamation territory.”
The opinion piece
begins by getting the name and location of Beck’s “Man in the Moon” event wrong
(it has been updated to correct the location as of this article’s writing, but
not the name), before claiming certain items at the “Independence Through History”
museum Beck created for the event came from his “personal collection,” though
he doesn’t actually own them.
But far more offensive was the implication,
Gray said, that Beck is a “Nazi sympathizer.”
