Indeed. The brouhaha over his "flee the socialist churches" commentary is right in line with Schafley and his "Conservative Bible" Project.
Glenn Beck is only promulgating the precepts of the Conservative Bible in his programs: from their wiki:
As of 2009, there is no fully conservative translation of the Bible which satisfies the following ten guidelines..
1. Framework against Liberal Bias: providing a strong framework that enables a thought-for-thought translation without corruption by liberal bias. For example, the Living Bible translation has liberal evolutionary bias;[4] the widely used NIV translation has a pro-abortion bias.[5]

So, as you can see, when Beck rails against "Social Justice Churches" he's simply advocating Conservative Biblical Precepts.
Third Example - Socialism
Socialistic terminology permeates English translations of the Bible, without justification. This improperly encourages the "social justice" movement among Christians.
For example, the conservative word "volunteer" is mentioned only once in the ESV, yet the socialistic word "comrade" is used three times, "laborer(s)" is used 13 times, "labored" 15 times, and "fellow" (as in "fellow worker") is used 55 times.
OMG! how dare the Liberals imply that people got COMPENSATED for their work!!!!! Why only the Pro Counsels get rewarded. Silly slaves....
So, I wonder how they will remove the "liberal bias" of Proverbs
1:16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. or Prov 2:11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
and whatever shall they do? Wisdom is personified as Female:
Proverbs 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
Now on to a completion.
Genesis 38:9 King James: And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
Conservative Version: Onan knew that the son would not be his heir. So what happened was that when he was intimate with his brother's wife, he spilled his gism on the ground, so as not to give his brother an heir.
"GISM'? just doesn't sound all that "conservative", now does it. Maybe, they are embarrassed by the word "sperm" or why not use "spunk" in its original meaning?
