Radio and TV host Glenn Beck garnered an unwelcome comparison to Howard Stern Friday when a popular Christian leader castigated Beck for his statement the term "social justice" is just code for Nazism and Communism.
Glenn Beck made the controversial statements on March 2nd, urging his viewers: "Look for the words social justice or economic justice on your church website. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are codewords. If you have a priest who is pushing social justice, go find another parish."
Christian anti-poverty activist and author Reverend Jim Wallis made the comparison between Glenn Beck and Howard Stern on his popular blog "God's Politics" on Friday. Wallis wrote: "What he[Glenn Beck] has said attacks the very heart of our Christian faith, and Christians should no longer watch his show. His show should now be in the same category as Howard Stern."
Many Christian leaders are now calling for their Christians to boycott Glenn Beck's radio and television programs. "He needs to either apologize, or have a conversation," said Wallis of Glenn Beck's claims.
Howard Stern frequently ridicules all types of organized religion on his satellite radio program.

Glenn Beck is NOT in Stern's category. Beck has no talent.
Yep--what an insult to Stern!
Glenn has no talent only crap comes out of his mouth
Le, I agree with the latter part of your claim, but you're wrong about Beck's talent. Beck is exceptionally gifted. Think about it: he can make up facts and assert the most absurd claims, yet millions of gullible sheeple believe him including the reactionaries who publish Town Hall Magazine.
It takes talent to lie and then have people "disprove" (at least in their heads) the proof of those lies. Beck would still be a worthless morning zoo DJ if he had no talent instead of a demagogue undermining the American middle class with his support for Koch brothers' ideals.
