Glenn Beck mocked the very notion that he might be an anti-Semite on his radio show yesterday—even as a group of 400 rabbis took out a full-page Wall Street Journal ad to scold him. Beck didn’t mention the ad, instead focusing on an unnamed web commentator who apparently accused him of intentionally misspelling a name so that it would appear more Jewish. “Talk about a conspiracy theory,” Beck said. “Get the tin foil hats out man.”

He then touted his new Rumors of War documentary on Iran. "Did you see the anti-Semitism just dripping out of Rumors of War?" he asked, to which a co-host replied, “For an anti-Semite, you are really pro-Jew.” For more, check the Huffington Post. (More Glenn Beck stories.)
