As Mediaite readers could do not forget, Glenn Beck no longer too long ago regarded on CNN for a full hour of talk with S.E. Cupp. Buried inside of that interview is one particularly attention-grabbing nugget: Beck stated he would gladly stand with GLAAD throughout the battle in opposition to Russia’s “hetero-fascist” rules criminalizing public homosexuality.

Beck steered Cupp that he finds it ridiculous that Americans had been debating Santa Claus’ race and a remark made by means of a Duck Dynasty well-known person whereas, over in Mother Russia, rules have criminalized public homosexuality and a well known TV superstar in truth known as for the burning alive of homosexual folks.

“Hetero-fascism,” Beck known as it. And he mentioned he’d gladly stand with GLAAD in taking a stand in opposition to Russia’s anti-gay legislation.

So why is that so attention-grabbing?

I’ve long been tough on Beck for suggesting he’s sympathetic to libertarianism whereas openly helping the likes of Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann — two of basically the most un-libertarian GOP candidates inside the 2012 cycle. And then he commenced to make some boom on many issues, together with surveillance and the battle state.

So I’d consider this an excellent higher step forward. With this one soundbite, Beck has entire extra to speak out in opposition to Russia’s struggle on homosexuality than any of his conservative radio colleagues, thereby exhibiting a willingness to confess that while his non secular views could say one issue about homosexuality, he does now not consider any government has anywhere legislating such morality. Now No longer easiest that, on the other hand he talked about combating arm-in-arm with GLAAD, some of the an important proper’s largest bogeymen.

Bravo.
