I saw that, and thought the same thing, GD. Beck himself belongs to a religion that very strongly endorses right wing ideology and at a very young age. If he's going to use Hitler Youth comparisons, I would suggest he get his history straight. The Hitler Youth were indoctrinated into the fascist ideology. There are/were plenty of left wing oriented organizations (The USSR's Young Pioneers, etc) that he could have chosen from, but he went right for the most infamous example. None of them are appropriate in this situation, but then Beck has never been a terribly appropriate person.
