Lewis Black is back, in black, on 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,' and his latest appearance on the Comedy Central show was built around a frightfully funny attack on Fox News' Glenn Beck -- a man Black says has "Nazi Tourette's."

Recent news of the Arizona immigration law, requiring people in the state to carry around documentation of their legal status, has been garnering comparisons to a Nazi policy that forced Jews to wear yellow stars during the reign of Adolph Hitler. Beck, however, recently took to his Fox News show and claimed outrage over such comparisons.

Unfortunately for Beck, there have been a seemingly endless number of moments on his own show during which the right-wing entertainer compared President Obama, Al Gore and even the National Endowment for the Arts to Hitler and Nazi Germany.

"This is a guy who uses more swastikas and video of the Nuremberg rallies than the History Channel," shouted Black in his signature gravely voice. "For God's sake. He compared global warming to Nazi Germany."

After playing a slew of clips showing Beck throwing Nazi references around about anything and everyone, Black threw a few barbs Beck's way. "All Glenn Beck needs is a single word to send him into a Nazi tizzy," he said, before landing the one-liner, "Glenn Beck has Nazi Tourette's."

No word yet if Beck has found a way to compare Black, a Jew, to a Nazi sympathizer, although one never knows when Tourette's will act up, so just wait.
