Reference: Media Matters, Beck Attacks Social Justice, March 12, 2010

Media Matters provides several quotes from Glenn Beck's programs in which he equates social justice and economic justice with Marxism and big government. He also told Christians to look for the words "social justice" in their church's websites:

"I beg you, 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 code words."

"If you see the words -- what is -- social justice, and what was the other one? Economic justice. You see these -- these are code words. These are the Marxist code words for the new global order. You see those words, if you see things that are now being preached about from the pulpit in many churches, about health care. Warning. Warning."

"Both the communists, who are on the left -- they say -- you know, these are communists. And the Nazis are on the right. That's what people say. But they both subscribed to one philosophy, and they flew one banner. One had the hammer and sickle; the other was a swastika. But on each banner read the words, here in America, of this -- "social justice." They talked about economic justice, rights of the workers, redistribution of wealth, and surprisingly -- I love this -- democracy. "

Glenn Beck has always been outrageous and many times incindiary in his broadcast statements on his radio show and Fox News. He plays to his audience of right wingers. But could his statements incite violence against people serving in the Obama administration? Or do people dismiss him as a nutcase? How does the Mormon church feel about him as a representative of Mormonism? And Christians?

Social justice like that practiced in Zimbabwe should be the model for the world.
