Podesta: ‘Van Has Set A Standard That Beck Would Never Impose Upon Himself’
Podesta: ‘Van Has Set A Standard That Beck Would Never Impose Upon Himself’
John Podesta, the President and CEO of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, released this statement following the resignation of Van Jones:
Van Jones is an exceptional and inspired leader who has fought to bring economic and environmental justice to communities across our country.
He has chosen to resign because he believed he was serving as a distraction to the president’s agenda. I respect that decision.
Van was working to build a common ground agenda for all Americans, and I am confident he will continue that work. Unfortunately, his critics on the right could find no common ground with him.
Clearly, Van was the subject of a right-wing smear campaign shrouded in hypocrisy. Van’s chief tormentor Glenn Beck, who spent weeks engaged in vicious name-calling, retains his perch at Fox News after calling the president a racist who has “a deep-seated hatred for white people.” Van has set a standard that Beck would never impose upon himself.
I look forward to working with Van to move our country towards a clean energy economy that empowers and lifts up all Americans.
The American people stood up and demanded answers. Instead of providing them, the Administration had Jones resign under cover of darkness. I continue to be amazed by the power of everyday Americans to initiate change in our government through honest questioning, and judging by the other radicals in the administration, I expect that questioning to continue for the foreseeable future.David Weigel writes that Cass Sunstein is likely to be Beck's next target.

The left, the real progressive left, needs to go after those whose actual speech (texts in this regard) have demonstrated their incapacity to ever hold positions of public power in this country: Jay Bybee, John Yoo, Bob McDonnell (for starters). By pretending to be less than angry, we leave the right wing noise machine feeling confident in destroying others who have visions to improve this nation. Setting “standard(s)” is useless unless they are supported by real action and accountability.
September 6th, 2009 at 8:39 pmInteresting how Jones’ record right after graduating from college is a barrier to advancement some 16-18 years later but Bush’s record right after graduation from college is simply overlooked. We clearly have a double standard issue in this country that impedes it from true greatness. Yes, racism is rearing it ugly head all over the place.
September 6th, 2009 at 8:42 pmWe can still win this. Holding Beck to his own standards isn’t such a bad idea. And if we do it, Van Jones, and all of us, will prevail in the end. This could turn into our victory.
Other things Beck has said:
…agreed that America’s only hope is for Bin Laden to blow us up.
…fantasized about choking Michael Moore to death.
…advocated beating Rep. Charles Rangel with a shovel.
…declared that he hated the families of 9/11 survivors.
…declared that he hated Katrina victims, whom he called scumbags.
…incited people to commit tax evasion.
Let’s get this out and let the people decide. Hold Beck and Fox News and Rupert Murdoch accountable.
September 6th, 2009 at 8:42 pmIt is important to inhibit Obama’s ability to govern. Keep all these competent nominees buried in a random Senate committees, like those labor dept. nominees, and retain the Bush magic throughout government. When we get through with Obama’s government, to include routing the competent out of their posts, Obama will leave office with a deep seated hatred for white people alright. Government doesn’t work because we say so, and therefore it must not work. La la la la la I can’t hear you.
September 6th, 2009 at 8:45 pmVan Jones is a Bodhitsattva.
One who puts the enlightenment of others before his own.
September 6th, 2009 at 8:49 pmBoycott Beck. Boycott Fox. Boycott offices with Fox TV.
September 6th, 2009 at 8:49 pmHey liberals, when Fox fires Beck because advertisers pull business from their network altogether, he should sit in his chair to annoy you, pay his producers out of pocket and force himself on the air in the same slot. I love me a good television coup. He should erect barriers to prevent Fox security from escorting him out. Kinda like his own Panic Room.
September 6th, 2009 at 8:50 pmGlenn Beck is obviously off his rocker.
O/T: the only “Van Jones” that comes to mind was Jack Benny’s valet, Eddie Anderson, in the movie Buck Benny Rides Again, in which he answered to “Rochester Van Jones.”

Technically speaking, Van Jones was not a Czar, that was just a talking point from the right wing astro-turf spin machine,
September 6th, 2009 at 8:57 pmYou’re right, arco. Down with Czars. Up with Communism!
September 6th, 2009 at 8:58 pmHi arco…
September 6th, 2009 at 8:59 pmSo about that ed thing… Wanna talk?
Quiz which pres installed the first tsar, czar, tzar…?
To Arco: You think Beck is ‘normal’? You think Dick Cheney and his superexaggerated view of presidential and vice presidential power is ‘normal’ and NOT radical?
What is your ‘normal’?
Do you even know how many ‘czars’ Bush had?

September 6th, 2009 at 9:09 pmGlenn Beck calls Obama a racist who hates white culture.
Color of Change calls him on it, successfully.
Color of Change was founded by Van Jones, a black guy, but is not longer affiliated with it.
Glenn Beck plays the victim all over Fox News, and blames not himself, but Van Jones.
Van Jones resigns.
Glenn Beck is a racist.
Oh by the way I am a white woman who can call it as I see it!!

September 6th, 2009 at 9:09 pmMight I ask which contemporary POTUS you enjoy most and why?
And from the same thread linked above:
SP Biloxi says:
Beck: “Never before have there been so many executive posts that were not confirmed by Congress and who answered only to the president.”
Let’s review some of the czar titles [which were wasteful titles] that the Sith Administration created:
a. For information technology infrastructure, Bush named a cybersecurity czar.
b. For Beck: “Never before have there been so many executive posts that were not confirmed by Congress and who answered only to the president.”
Let’s review some of the czar titles that the Sith Administration created:
a. For information technology infrastructure, Bush named a cybersecurity czar.
b. Beck: “Never before have there been so many executive posts that were not confirmed by Congress and who answered only to the president.”
Let’s review some of the czar titles that the Sith Administration created:
a. For information technology infrastructure, Bush named a cybersecurity czar.
b. For corporate benefactors led to the creation of a “regulatory czar” at the Office of Management and Budget.
c. “AIDS Czar” was created. Bush appointed Randall Tobias who later resigned becuase he was client of the DC Madam.
d. For struggling manufacturing industries, Bush appointed a “manufacturing czar.”
e. To correct the failed national security intelligence Bush created an “intelligence czar” position.
f. “Bird-flu czar” created for the bird flu epidemic.
g. In handling of the response to Hurricane Katrina, there was a “Katrina czar.”
Beck wouldn’t know the definition of a “czar” if it bit him in the butt. I bet if Obama created a media czar position that would oversee all the media coverages of the White House, Beck and Fox News would go through hoops to apply for that job in a heart beat.

arco:
Van Jones’ “crime” was that the organization he founded (Color of Change) cost Glen Beck and the Antichrist Rupert Murdock sponsors.
If he was so controversial why did G W Bush sign into law the Green Jobs Act that Van Jones helped write?
If he was so controversial why did he not attract any attention until the sponsors started to leave Beck’s show?
This whole controversy was manufactured by the astro-turfers and supported by racists like you.

Tribal Leaders Say Karzai’s Team Forged 23,900 Votes
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/02/world/asia/02fraud.html?em
Mr. Abdullah flew to the southern city of Kandahar to receive the tribe’s endorsement. The leaders of the tribe, who live in a district called Shorabak, prepared to deliver a local landslide.
But it never happened, the tribal leaders said.
Instead, aides to Mr. Karzai’s brother Ahmed Wali — the leader of the Kandahar provincial council and the most powerful man in southern Afghanistan — detained the governor of Shorabak, Delaga Bariz, and shut down all of the district’s 45 polling sites on election day. The ballot boxes were taken to Shorabak’s district headquarters, where, Mr. Bariz and other tribal leaders said, local police officers stuffed them with thousands of ballots.
At the end of the day, 23,900 ballots were shipped to Kabul, Mr. Bariz said, with every one marked for President Karzai.
“Not a single person in Shorabak District cast a ballot — not a single person,” Mr. Bariz said in an interview here in the capital, where he and a group of tribal elders came to file a complaint. “Mr. Karzai’s people stuffed all the ballot boxes.”

September 6th, 2009 at 9:43 pmOops, I meant through 2008.
September 6th, 2009 at 9:44 pmPresident George W. Bush appointed two judges during Senate recesses, William Pryor and Charles Pickering to U.S. courts of appeals after their nominations were filibustered by Senate Democrats. Judge Pickering, who Bush appointed to the Fifth Circuit, withdrew his name from consideration for renomination and retired when his recess appointment expired. Judge Pryor was subsequently confirmed by the Senate for a lifetime appointment to the Eleventh Circuit. In his first six years in office, Bush made 167 recess appointments.

September 6th, 2009 at 10:44 pmJones described his position as “the green-jobs handyman. I’m there to serve. I’m there to help as a leader in the field of green jobs, which is a new field. I’m happy to come and serve and be helpful, but there’s no such thing as a green-jobs ‘czar.’”[33]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Jones
September 6th, 2009 at 10:47 pmI did. You rather me lie and make up stuff?
I did some reading. Van Jones was a special advisor [CEQ] and Bush appointed people to the CEQ as well. It seems to be SOP to appoint people to the CEQ [council on evironmental quality]
I dont know why Van Jones let the media stoopid get to him, it was just prove a negative BS from what I heard and wasnt a resigning type incident. And why hasnt diaper man resigned? Or Sanderson? Or Craig?
September 6th, 2009 at 10:47 pmOutlaw:
According to his profile at Wikipedia, Van Jones position was that of an adviser, that means he was not a Czar.
Van Jones is an environmental advocate, civil rights activist, attorney and author,who served for several months in 2009 as Special Adviser for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality
September 6th, 2009 at 10:49 pmGuess Van Jones was wrong when he said that he was going to produce green jobs then.
I bet if someone pulls up the actual text, its not saying what your are claiming it is.
Besides the guy resigned, the point is now fairly moot what he said when…. and your going on about it still. Take a chill pill Outlaw.

Van Jones is a radical. Jones, along with 33 other czars, have been put into positions of extraordinary power without congressional votes, and without being elected by the American people.
Congress needs to get some balls and tell Obama NO MORE CZARS and demand that appointments are vetted and approved by government checks and balances.

September 6th, 2009 at 11:13 pmWe have a US Congresswoman asking her followers to slit their wrists, a conservative pastor in Arizona praying for Obama to die, gunslingers at teaparties, more violence on our streets and on TV than any other nation, folks with no health care dying needlessly and the conservatives are feigning outrage over Obama talking to schoolchildren! I don’t listen to Fox news, but Beck’s every burp is beamed across the airways in a millisecond, so his insanity is in your face 24/7. He is right about Jones, but some in his own party are seriously morally challanged also. Beck knows exactly what he’s doing, stirring a very dangerous brew and the outcome may be tragic. I would rather be a looney lefty, bleeding heart tree hugging liberal, a “socialist”, and whatever other name Beck can come up with than a holier than thou, selfrightous, whining victim, paranoid, emotionally challanged millionare like Beck anyday.
September 6th, 2009 at 11:18 pmYeh, I admit, I have been kinda cynicaland snarky…I think its because of the completely assinine things pundits pscyhophants are parakeeting from their fecal perches

How can an adviser be a Czar?
September 6th, 2009 at 11:28 pmSo Outhouse has come down firmly on the side of the fence that says a Special Advisor to the President is the same thing as a “czar”.
Now that we’ve got that cleared up, we can talk about the role of a Special Advisor, and we can forget all this silly “czar” nonsense. Right?
September 6th, 2009 at 11:28 pmHe wasnt a special advisor to Obama, SpoutFlaw, he was an advisor to the CEQ and was only require to report once a year to the president.
September 6th, 2009 at 11:29 pmOutlaw, I believe the same things you do. Bush never had a czar. I repeat: Bush never had a czar. la la la lefties, I can’t hear you!

But “czar” is so scary, Ralph. It’s all furrin’ and stuff. Heckadoodle, it’s Russian! Not sure why they don’t use “tsar”, though. That’s pretty scary, too, and that way they could claim the President has czars and tsars!

September 6th, 2009 at 11:54 pm…I expect that questioning to continue for the foreseeable future.
David Weigel writes that Cass Sunstein is likely to be Beck’s next target.
And THAT explains why Democrats are wrong to keep caving in and selling out. Whether it’s health care reform, withdrawing troops from Iraq, or deciding who works for you, very time you give in to these jackasses, it only encourages them to keep it up.
Beck had lost about 60 advertisers after he called President Obama a racist. He was on the ropes. Now he looks like he’s on par with the President of the United States, and when he launches his next attack against another Obama subordinate, he’ll have new found credibility.
People want to back Obama. We want to support a Democratic agenda. But how can we, when Obama, Reid, Pelosi and the rest won’t draw a line in the sand and stand behind ANYTHING? If Obama won’t fight for his own staff, what will he fight for?

Dear GOP REALLY,
Do you know where you last had it. I always find that when I’ve misplaced something, tracing my steps helps me.
Oh, sorry. When you say you need to “get my country back” you make it sound like a lost wallet while shopping. What were you buying at the time you lost it?
.
September 6th, 2009 at 11:58 pmDo you guys mind if I drop sometime tomorrow and maybe I can see about getting my country back?
I think it was lost around 1913. But sure, drop in.
September 7th, 2009 at 12:01 amSometimes people who know they are going to be a distraction do the right thing and go away.The only problem here is the perception about support for the personnel working for the Administration.A different problem is the semantics used and the names of different positions.For Glen to be able to go after anyone tells you there is an imbalance in coverage.Our country has to be better than this.
September 7th, 2009 at 12:05 amI don’t think it was in my wallet; a white guy is too big to fit in there. Something didn’t seem right at noon, January 20, and then I just realized, WHERE’S MY COUNTRY?

September 7th, 2009 at 12:17 ambradshaw88 says:
Van Jones chose to do the honorable thing and resign.
Since he was only an adviser, nothing really has changed other than the fact that he is no longer being paid to give advice.
Do you have any proof that the President is no longer going to be asking him for advice?
I know you won’t be capable of understanding this because because wing nuts do not understand the concept of honor and putting country before self.

September 7th, 2009 at 12:57 am25. Death Counselor sez:
Thanks for posting my previous thread of the clown president’s czars. Simply a waste of money and served no purpose. But, we are talking about an incompentent and former President that had three failed businesses, a rich daddy to bail him out in everything that he failed in, and went on vacation than any previous Presidents.
On a side note, thank you Mr. Podesta for speaking positively about Van Jones. I did see your speech as well as Van Jones’ speech on the White House website when you two spoke along with a panel for Biden’s strong middle class project. Beck’s worse nightmare would be if Van Jones became a private consultant [which I highly recommend Obama to do] to the White House on green jobs. That would be a hoot.
September 7th, 2009 at 1:00 amto those who compare Obama’s “spine” to FDR, let’s remember that FDR didn’t have right wing Fox and 90% of talk radio et al breathing down his neck and their followers weakening his Presidency. FDR had a desperate nation, most struggling, who were looking for and needed change. Though too many in USA are on very hard times, a majority are doing okay and do not want change, especially those with already bulging wallets like O’Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh, Coulter et al who are determined to bring down the Obama Presidency. George Bush had a cakewalk compared to what is going on now.
September 7th, 2009 at 1:12 amIt’s time for us, as a unit, to go after Ben Gleck, his sponsors and his network.
September 7th, 2009 at 1:24 amBoycott, write, phone, fax, email and continue the barrage until this evil clown is off the air.
I’m conflicted. I think that, had Mr. Jones decided to pursue the matter further, he would have won. On the other hand, his resignation means that the Administration simply doesn’t have to dignify the Reichwing batscat with a response.
Plus, Becky is down some 50-plus sponsors as it is. Even if he isn’t dragged off the set in a straight jacket I don’t think he can last much longer. Once his hosts are reduced to public service announcements and pimping their own programming during his air time? Buh-bye, Becky.
September 7th, 2009 at 1:30 amFrom the update; “Glenn Beck released a statement, pledging to go after “other radicals in the administration”:
The American people stood up and demanded answers. Instead of providing them, the Administration had Jones resign under cover of darkness. I continue to be amazed by the power of everyday Americans to initiate change in our government through honest questioning, and judging by the other radicals in the administration, I expect that questioning to continue for the foreseeable future.”
Whoa, not so fracking fast, arsehole. What a load of pompous BS. The American people demanded no such thing. You, Glen Beck, got unlucky and someone decided to leave instead of continuing to be a distraction. Unlucky, because your next target may not be as cooperative, and unlucky, because the distraction was only inside the Beltway media audience. No one else was paying attention.
The “issue”, if you want to call it that didn’t even make the wire services until today. That should tell everyone something about how much of a stir this has caused – not much outside of those who attend to politics. But you may have attracted some attention you really don’t want; don’t worry though, it’ll come straight at you – you won’t be blindsided by some perversion from your past. Oh, maybe you will be. We’ll see shortly.
Amazed by the honest questioning… Provide some data for that assertion, sir. Have the White House e-mail servers been swamped by demands that Van Jones go? Or have you just been reading your own tweets and facebook postings? Give us a break, Glenda. If one or two more of your advertisers quit, Rupert is going to fire your sorry butt, isn’t he?
September 7th, 2009 at 1:42 amI have no idea what a Beck is or isnt about…and not about to find out why that is..prolly cause it bores me.
September 7th, 2009 at 1:55 amNot one more resignation from this cabinet. The Republicans said far worse over the past several years and more importantly over the past several months. Too GD bad if the right side of the aisle is whining and crying, let them.
Enough is enough, if Republicans do not let the rhetoric then get the hell out of politics. By the same token, if Dems don’t start acting like the majority their collective backsides are going to be out of jobs come next eletion.
September 7th, 2009 at 2:00 amThe collecive [birthers, tenthers, deathers, confirmers] nutters have spouted so much lunacy…..
Laugh them off the stage
September 7th, 2009 at 2:09 amYay, John Podesta! Beck and the paranoids out there deserve nothing more than a big FU. Anything else encourages them. And administration that claims to run on facts and science has no business bowing to the faith-based claims of a self-confessed clown and entertainer.
September 7th, 2009 at 2:24 amWhile Beck is looking for his next victim, maybe he can address the accusation of himself raping and murdering a girl, or murdering then raping a girl, which Beck was linked to.
http://gatsome.com/2009/09/01/glenn-beck-raped-and-murdered-a-girl-in-1990/
September 7th, 2009 at 2:32 amI see now why Glenn Beck hates liberal history professors:
Glenn can see no wrong in what Senator Joseph McCarthy did and it is his mission in life to retcon those historic facts against his idol and those of the same ilk.
Glenn Beck is the evil Sam Beckett, wronging the rights to bring darkness upon the future that has yet to be written.
September 7th, 2009 at 2:54 amMemo to Beck: NAACP has got Van Jones’ back…
NAACP CONTINUES ITS SUPPORT OF VAN JONES AND WHITE HOUSE GREEN JOBS INITIATIVE
NAACP Continues its Support of Special Advisor of Green Jobs Van Jones and the White House Green Jobs Initiative. The NAACP is calling for civility in the national discourse on safe, clean communities and sustainable sources of domestic energy. It is time to end the personal attacks on administration officials as a distraction to crucial discussion on our nation and our world’s environmental conditions.
NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous:
“It is sad and unfortunate that our nation’s precious airwaves and cable television time are being occupied with the unscrupulous, diversionary tactics launched by right wing extremists such as Glenn Beck. These desperate tactics divert America’s attention and intellectual resources away from issues affecting our families and communities. These life-and-death concerns are being overshadowed by employing ruthless attacks against Van Jones, White House Special Advisor for Green Jobs and dedicated advocate for safe, clean and healthy communities.
Van Jones has established himself through his many years in public service as a hardworking advocate for positive, progressive change. He is a devoted husband and father. Mr. Beck and the other news services’ portrayal of Mr. Jones to the contrary is not only distracting and disingenuous but harmful and destructive.
“The only thing more outrageous than Mr. Beck’s attack on Van Jones is the fact that there are sponsors that continue to pay him to provide this type of offensive commentary. I can only assume hat this is the very reason that several dozen organizations throughout our country have gone on record stating they will boycott FOX News (the television network home of Glenn Beck). While we defend the right to free speech for all Americans, we expect news outlets throughout our country to uphold civility in their portrayal of the President of the United States as well as members of his administration and others who have wrongfully come under scrutiny. America’s news outlets have the responsibility to uphold accuracy and integrity in their reporting.”
And Mr. Jealous’ statement of Van Jones’ resignation:
Van Jones made a tough decision to step aside so that the nation’s reform agenda will not be sidetracked by those who spin lies for profit.
Mr. Jones was on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world before he entered the White House. He was a bestselling author before he entered the White House. He was someone who made the leap from the public schools of Jackson, Tennessee to Yale University long before he entered the White House.
Now that he has chosen to leave the White House, we fully expect Mr. Jones to continue to help lead our nation out of its dual crises of environmental degradation and mass unemployment.
On a personal note, I have known Van Jones for more than 15 years. In that time he, as is characteristic of great public servants, has continuously grown and increased his capacity for improving the condition of humanity. Throughout, he has been guided by a powerful sense of patriotism and love for all.
–Ben Jealous, President and CEO, NAACP

September 7th, 2009 at 2:58 amNot that I watch Faux News, but I say we push even harder on Mr. Beck’s sponsors. The man is a bully, and he deserves some justice.
A-holes indeed.
September 7th, 2009 at 3:19 amWhoa there. Let’s not start insulting Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy was a real Democrat. Barack Obama is some kinda neocon.
Jimmy Carter didn’t pose as a progressive.
September 7th, 2009 at 5:30 amJimmy Carter didn’t steal the primary to get nominated.
Jimmy Carter didn’t pour trillions into the financial sector.
Jimmy Carter didn’t refuse to investigate war crimes and treason.
Jimmy Carter didn’t destroy our chances for publicly-funded elections.
Jimmy Carter didn’t continue policies that could fairly be called fascist.
Glenn Beck is the new Van Jones!…

clearly, the Obama administration has no idea who they dealing with. The merits of the Van JOnes case are completely besides the point. That a wingnut smear campaign worked is THE ONLY message here, and by resigning Jones has unleashed a shitstorm of inane, insane howling beast, not even human smears and lies on decent people everywhere.

I no longer care about Beck. I want to bring down Murdoch. Why is there no information about what proclivities or deviant behavior Rupert Murdoch likes to partake of? He is ripe for the pickings. And as Murdoch goes, so goes FOX.

I am so sick of these Rightwing talking heads spewing their hysterical, devisive, crap. It would be one thing if they were telling the truth, but most of what Beck and his ilk spout is distorted or outright lies. What has happened to this country? Why are people rallying around these uneducated, big mouthed, short on facts, nuts? People, wake up and think for yourself! I’d head for a cliff if I EVER used Glenn Beck and that ilk to make a point in any argument.
September 7th, 2009 at 8:57 amIt is sad and maddeningly rustrating that a vile celebrity like Glenn Beck can bring down a valuable person in the administration.
September 7th, 2009 at 8:59 amWhen repugniscum are exposed for questionable behavior, if not crimes, they belligerently remain in the battle, get the backing of others in the party, the public memory fades, and they go on with their business.
Democrats, even those who are victims of a witchhunter, always leave for the greater good, and we are the worse for it.
I won’t forgive Democrats who stand by silently as one of the good guys gets brought down by the likes of Fox-TV.
September 7th, 2009 at 9:02 amI am sure that Van will continue to do good works because he’s been doing good works for so long, but I ask, why is ours the party of weenies? Beck is one guy with a small group of crazies that listens to him. They don’t want to participate in America, and we should respect their wishes by not acknowledging anything they say or do.
And if the dems had any guts at all, they’d go after Fox as an illegally funded extension of the republican party. We have campaign finance laws for this very reason.
But no, our side quits when stuff like this happens…
September 7th, 2009 at 9:08 amIt would be nice if there really were a Hell and punishment for evil.
September 7th, 2009 at 9:18 amYou gotta love how the Repugs come on here an parrot Fox/Beck statements about Van Jones. Dumb, ignorant simpletons.
September 7th, 2009 at 9:28 amGlenn Beck is a former drug addict and alcoholic and college drop-out. The lemmings identify.
September 7th, 2009 at 9:32 amMaybe Van should un-resign. Should take on his foes. He may not be a distraction. Might actually be a flash point to dis-empower Beck.
September 7th, 2009 at 9:47 amVan can take his proximity to the Obama to encourage the President to review what actually happened on 9/11. You know, maybe ask the President to view the Pentagon attack tapes for himself.
People put down truthers. We all know what the opposite of truth is.
OK here comes the insults. I am only accepting insults from people who had actually seen clear footage of a PLANE hit the pentagon. There were plenty of cameras rolling that day.
The beast has been fed. The beast is hungry again. It’s appetite will increase exponentially, as will the hatred, vitriol, lies and distortions.
September 7th, 2009 at 9:53 amVan’s resignation was a bigger distraction. You thought it would end there? He should un-resign. Let Beck become distracted from his next scalping campaign.
September 7th, 2009 at 9:58 amWe give the repubs too much. There is no reason to. Dean is correct when he says craft a healthcare plan that does not call for a single republican vote.
There are more than enough crackpots to take Beck’s place if he were taken off the air. Fox declared war on the Dems during Clinton’s administration and it will not end until Fox is completely discredited. That cannot happen by attacking one commentator because there are many more at Fox that are willing to continue the war. The people who watch Fox will never see it for what it really is-a propaganda outlet for the Republicans. Commentators like Beck will turn off some of the more rational people who watch Fox and get disgusted. The rest of the viewers will never change their opinions unless some earth shattering event moves them. That is a pretty high bar considering some of the things that have been said on Fox.
September 7th, 2009 at 11:26 am(pardon the re-post from earlier thread:)
The right-wing has effectively taken control over our 4th branch of government, the “free” press.
Until the Fairness Doctrine is re-instated, we’re headed for continued ruination of our Nation.
September 7th, 2009 at 11:50 amHeh. The lunatics are running the asylum.
Sad, isn’t it?
September 7th, 2009 at 12:13 pmIsn’t it a little early for all these Beck-loving morons to be doing touchdown dances?
At this time, the Glenn Beck show is enjoying good ratings, but he’s lost over 57 sponsors, some of whom have decided not to advertise on ANY FOX News network show. Trust me on this, Beck-suckers: there are a LOT more people who can’t stand Beck than people who like him and many of the people tuning in are just tuning in to watch a freak show. Dance while you can, morons. The song is almost over.
September 7th, 2009 at 12:39 pmBush had an Abstinence Czar? What, did they pay this guy to not have sex?
September 7th, 2009 at 12:47 pmReagan had scores of czars. George HW Bush had lots of czars. Clinton and GW Bush both had czars.
Beck and his fans are very, very worried about Obama’s czars.
There is only one explanation: Beck and his fans are racists.
September 7th, 2009 at 1:02 pmKayInMaine sez:
And Beck and Fox News have the nerve and audacity to question President Obama’s picks of czars? The former clown President certainly had a field days appointing his buddies for jobs as czars. And he didn’t care less about the money that his friends were getting because it wasn’t his own money that he was dishing out.

You only want to regurgitate it because that is the kind of ignorant lying moron you are. How are things at your KKK meetings you Fascist piece of garbage?
September 7th, 2009 at 4:21 pmBeethoven Rolls over in his grave: “Ninerfan: GH Bush and Clinton had czars but none were avowed communist.”
Neither is this guy, dumbass.
September 7th, 2009 at 4:58 pmOne of these days the morons who follow Glenn Beck just may check up on one of his ramblings and find out he’s simply out of his mind. I’m not sure this will be the one because Van Jones is black and we know that Glenn Beck fans are simply racists to begin with.
September 7th, 2009 at 5:00 pmYou have to wonder how high pitched they’d be wailing and screaming if they knew one of Obama’s czars was a convicted felon. Only dogs could hear them. Oh, wait a minute. That was one of GW’s czars. Doesn’t count.
September 7th, 2009 at 5:01 pmHere’s how the East Bay Express described the “Green Jobs Czar’s” background:
Jones had planned to move to Washington, DC, and had already landed a job and an apartment there. But in jail, he said, “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’” Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.” In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.”
September 7th, 2009 at 6:11 pmYou can find out all you want about Van Jones, just use al gore’s invention and goggle van jones.
September 7th, 2009 at 6:33 pmBR – gosh, you’re astoundingly stupid, aren’t you?
September 7th, 2009 at 6:38 pmBeethoven Rules says bull $hit:
I am going to call shenanigans, Van Jones was arrested with hundreds of other protesters, the charges were dropped and Van Jones was issued an apology for the false arrest.
BR, are you a Bircher, a Paulbot or both?
September 7th, 2009 at 7:04 pmDo you masturbate while watching Glen Beck?
Reggie: Why the concern over mastubation? I doubt if you could get your mouth around it.
September 7th, 2009 at 7:33 pm““By August, I was a communist.””
Beethoven, I may be splitting hairs here, but you originally said Van Jones is a communist and, as evidence, you’ve pointed to a story about his youth, a couple decades earlier when he said he was a communist.
Here’s my problem with your argument: “is” is not the same as “was.”
September 7th, 2009 at 7:54 pmninerfan: It depends on what the definition of “is” is. I think if you were really an open minded person, you could just go to again al gore’s invention and google van jones and watch all the video clips of his speeches, you would be able to determine his status. Is and was will become moot. Expand your horizons and when you get to high school you might be able to learn.
September 7th, 2009 at 7:58 pmHey, whatever, you and I both know that Van Jones is not a communist. If you want to continue to pretend that a Democrat would hire a communist for an important administrative post, you’re entitled to your fantasies no matter how illogical or fantastic they are. It’s become pretty obvious that people like you believe anything people like Beck say because you want to believe them – not because they make any sense.
September 7th, 2009 at 8:10 pmninerfan: again let me challenge you to review the videos, not the Beck ones. Look at them, take in what he says. If your not willing to do this, then you my friend are the one living in a fantasy world. Look at them and report back. Of course your probably so tied into your progressive world that your afraid to see the truth. Look at the videos.
September 7th, 2009 at 8:15 pmBeethoven Rules says:
You are staggeringly pathetically stupid. You SAID he IS an avowed communist and you provide a link to what10 15 years ago when he once said he was a communist? Are you kidding or are you REALLY that humiliatingly stupid? STFU till you grow up and can actually be taken seriously.

September 7th, 2009 at 8:20 pm‘Target’ is a great term for each of three permanent objects, which form the geometric triangle needed by a surveyor to properly map a given parcel of land; however, ‘the way out’ of a normal interaction, face to face with a neighbor, is NOT to randomly target a strange passer-by, and rudely set out in roughly his or her general direction! A conversation partner, is actuly just a round about location, between our last shelter, and our permanent shelter!?
September 7th, 2009 at 11:37 pmEugenedebs: you sure seem to filled with a lot of anger. I will give you the same challenge I gave ninerfan. Look up the videos of Van Jones’ speeches. They speak for themselves. Like Jack Nickelson said in A Few Good Men, YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

No anger here moron. What is it with you wingnuts that you think everyone who slaps the stupid out of you for your trolling must be mad? You wouldnt know the truth if it burned down your garage and slept with your rubber doll wife. You are a moron. You are too stupid to even know what communism is. He wrote a book about free market solutions to ecological problems. He hasnt been trying to lead a communist revolution. Look you are stupid. Everyone knows that. This thing has been debunked long ago and several times. You dont even CARE what the truth is you only care about spouting the stupid you have been programmed with and trying to annoy the liberals. The thing is you are too stupid to pull off annoying anyone. It just amuses me treat you with the contempt you treat the left with. Perhaps someone as bone ignorant as you is only motivated by anger or other lower emotions. I just like to amuse myself and you are the one stupid enough to wear the red rubber nose and size 18 shoes

Telling the truth 16%
Hiding something 53%
Mostly lyin g 28%
Not sure 3%”
I guess half of America is not qualified to work for Obama.

It is routine for an administration to appoint people to various posts with varying degrees of authority and power. Did you complain when Bush did it, even though his appointees weren’t elected? No, you did not. And you did not because he was a far-right lunatic frnger exactly like you and the Glenn Beck-wannabe America-haters.
Here’s a moral and ethical clue for you:
The first person damaged by your hatred is YOU.
