Could Beck prove any more how much of an asshole he is?

Yesterday, an Iraq veteran named Denise called in to The Glenn Beck Program to complain about the fun she had on Veterans Day. Denise, who returned from Iraq two years ago, walked with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for America (I.A.V.A.)....
Beck's response
“What [liberal donors such as Soros are] doing is, they’re creating the misery, and they’re coming out and organizing all these people—under the guise of labor unions or something as innocuous sounding as, you know, Iraqi [sic] and Afghanistan Veterans Foundation [sic]—but it is Soros and Communist and radical money and they are tying and duping people in as much as they can,”
And The Head of IAVA's response
“The I.A.V.A. receives no money from MoveOn.org,” Rieckhoff told me. “We’re happy to take MoveOn’s money if they’ll send it, and we’re happy to take Fox News’s money if they’ll send it, too. Veterans affairs shouldn’t be a partisan issue. It’s all about Americans uniting behind our veterans.”
Now first I want to make it clear - I Don't Listen to Beck, I Don't watch Rachel Maddow, nor do I sit through Olbermann, nor tune in to Limbaugh. I pay very little attention to the talking heads day in and day out.
But I do have an idea what their shtick is and yes I might lean towards what some of them say and cringe from what the others say - for the most part I don't give them my attention.
Some of you can say - well don't listen to them, they influence very little, they are just entertainers. Wrong. For their fans (and there are many of them) these are the filters through which they make their political and social decisions. Yes, I might not listen to Glenn Beck - but millions do and millions react and some act to whatever the flavor of hate he has for the day.
Which brings me to this post - one a vet and every vet no matter what side you lean on should take notice of. Glenn Beck is trying to undermine the legitimacy of an organization which treats our Vets with the respect they deserve as being a Left-Wing Communist conspiracy.
Yeah, so what you might say. Well we have seen the tangled webs Beck loves to weave - in this one he and his "listener" tag Moveon.org and George Soros again to this organization without even vetting their facts. And honestly so what - but Beck has drawn such an ugly picture of Soros that this could be damaging to a group actually providing support for our Vets. This one time Beck should put aside his bullshit hate and maybe conjur up some HONOR and respect the fact that ANYONE can support our Troops. Rather than spreading more vitriol and hate towards those helping and possibly those receiving the help.
And did Beck have anything to say about the Veteran scamming GOP Donor? (http://a.abcnews.com/images/Blotter/ht_bobby_thompson_president_bush_2_101110_ssh.jpg)
NOT A WORD. fuck him.
