Obama Advisor John Podesta Rips Glenn Beck as "Van's chief tormentor'
Sunday, September 6, 2009 | Kristinn

Obama transition chief and head of the leftist Center for American Progress, John Podesta, laid in to Glenn Beck tonight with a spirited but after the fact defense of former Obama administration official Van Jones that was posted tonight at Think Progress:

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.

Van Jones is a race-baiting, America-hating, cop-hating, terrorist-sympathizing, expert at living off the public teat. In other words he's a perfect Democrat. No wonder Podesta loves this guy and looks forward to working with him (again).

Podesta and his comrades seem to be taking this pretty hard. LOL! Just think! Jonesy can now go home and enjoy the pleasures of being unemployed. (Until he’s hired by PMSNBC, NBC or abc.)

Hey Podesta, we love turning on the light and watching you roaches scatter back into your dark, dank holes. Get used to it cause we’re not going away and plan to shed more light on you vermin.

Hey Mr Podesta, what part of the truth can’t you libs stand? I realize the truth is your worst enemy. But do you really want communists in our White house???

You have done great work on this collective effort too, kristinn.

Mike Pence said the other day that when he started seeing Americans showing up at tea parties and townhalls, he felt like he was watching the cavalry riding over the hill.

A nice image. You have been leading that cavalry charge for some time.

Podesta: "...economic and environmental justice to communities across our country."
Translation: Redistribute income. Put Section 8 housing in every suburban neighborhood in America. Put new factories, refineries, toxic waste dumps and power plants in all suburban developments.

Podesta: "Van was working to build a common ground agenda for all Americans"
There is no "common ground" with communist wealth-distributors. They will confiscate as much wealth from the producers as possible.

Podesta: "I look forward to working with Van to move our country towards a clean energy economy that empowers and lifts up all Americans.
Please explain, once and for all, how very expensive, unreliable, and intermittent sources of energy are going to do that. It defies all engineering, economic and common sense. This is the new pixie dust of the left that is going to usher in a new Utopia for all of us.

Podesta needs to see a doctor about cleaning out his ears. Jones said he, Jones, was a Commie. We already have enough of them, thankyou.

Podesta is either soft on Commies, deaf, or stupid, or, possibly ALL THREE.

He didn't like Sarah Palin's baby either ~ Podesta hates babies, kicks dogs, and steals change from little kids at bus stops (no doubt).

Can we just forget about Podesta ~ he has nothing to add to the national dialogue worth hearing.

Sunlight is a powerful disinfectant, Podesta and his cronies avoid it like the plague.

Kudos to Glenn Beck.

Van Jones wanted to turn prison inmates loose and (put them to work) in green jobs. I suspect he meant as enforcers like the Fedayeen.

“At least Soros has to pay him now and we don’t.”

Guess you haven’t heard that BO gave Soros’s Brazilian oil company $2 Billion of our tax dollars to drill off the coast of Brazil. BO will find a way to pay all his Leftist cronies with our money. That’s what he really meant when he told Joe the Plumber that he would “spread the wealth.” The stupid welfare class thought they were going to get it...the chumps.

I must conclude that Mr. Podesta approves Van’s message.

Glenn Beck [is] "Van's chief tormentor"

Yeah?.. Czar Van Jones and his cadre of warders to keep the gates closed to any but "green" jobs are guilty of warder torture.
