Glenn Beck promoting the book of a racist anti-Semite? Shocking.
On his Fox News show this evening, while discussing how members of "Woodrow Wilson's circle" had created "modern-day propaganda," Beck cited the book Secrets of the Federal Reserve, authored by Eustace Mullins, who has been described as a "[n]ationally known white supremacist and anti-Semite."

Who is Eustace Mullins? Here is how his hometown newspaper, the Staunton, VA, Daily News Leader, described him in his January 5, 2010, obituary: "Nationally known white supremacist and anti-Semite Eustace Mullins of Staunton, described in 2000 by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a one-man organization of hate, died Wednesday in Waller County, Texas, at age 86."
At the beginning of his discussion of House, Beck urged his audience, "I ask you to do your own homework on this, don't take anything I say as truth just because I say it. Do your own homework. Find out if it's true. Read original sources."
In June, Beck promoted Elizabeth Dilling's The Red Network. Dilling was a virulent anti-Semite and Nazi sympathizer; The Red Network contains numerous passages that espouse anti-Semitism and racism.
Graeme Wood explains who Mullins was...
Mullins was an open purveyor of blood libel: he claimed that Jews kidnap Christian children, ritually puncture their veins, and drink their blood as a restorative for their own degenerate bodies. During Pound's involuntary commitment in St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington in the Fifties, Mullins visited him frequently, and under his direction, Mullins authored foundational texts in Federal Reserve conspiracy theory. Those theories have proved impressively durable. In addition to Glenn Beck's citation yesterday, Pat Robertson's books peddled variations on them in the 1980s, and elements of the Tea Party echo them now. (Short version: the Federal Reserve controls the world, and the UN is taking over the US via the New World Order.)
