(JTA) – A CNN commentator likened Al Gore’s environmentalism to Nazi tactics. Glenn Beck, speaking Monday on his syndicated talk show, said he made the connection when he was reading “The Years of Extermination,” a book about how Nazi Germany made the case for Genocide. “I have read these things in some places about the Jews, in some places about what’s coming, in other places on global warming,” Beck said in a broadcast captured by Media Matters, a liberal media monitor. Gore, Beck said, “is not going to be rounding up Jews and exterminating them. It is the same tactic, however. The goal is different. The goal is globalization. The goal is global carbon tax. The goal is the United Nations running the world.”
