Glenn Beck's Crusade Against Grover Norquist Has Now Expanded To Include Karl Rove

On his radio program today(link is external), Beck continued to hammer away at Norquist, whom he wants to see removed(link is external) from the board of the NRA, declaring that "we're at the beginning of a Van Jones thing"when it comes to exposing Norquist's nefarious network, calling him "the Muslim Brotherhood's Tides Foundation."

Not surprisingly, Beck's crusade against Norquist has now expanded to include Karl Rove, with whom he has been publicly feuding(link is external) for the last week.

As Beck sees it, the only reason that Rove criticized him last week for supposedly leaving the GOP is because Beck was working to expose Norquist, with whom Rove has close ties.
