Rightwing broadcaster attacks Charles Haywood after Guardian exposed his sponsorship of secret society

The rightwing broadcaster Glenn Beck has attacked Charles Haywood, a shampoo magnate and would-be warlord", as a false prophet" on his radio broadcast after the Guardian exposed Haywood's sponsorship of a secretive, far-right men-only fraternal society.

Last week Beck devoted five minutes of airtime on the Blaze - in which he read the Guardian's article aloud and interspersed his own commentary - to criticising Haywood and Haywood's Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR).
