Wonder how much taxpayer cash Podesta expected Jonesy to send his way...when liberals get this worked up it usually has something to do with the money faucet being turned off.
No just a fart smeller.
I’m speculating here, but....
Let’s say a certain green jobs czar had co-founded a company that actively and publicly called for a boycott of Glenn Beck, and was not properly vetted by the White House, and further suppose that czar was, in fact, encouraged by the White House to shut down Mr. Beck-—and was given $30 bil dollars to paly with-—
What is the exposure to the White House of a civil rights complaint filed by Mr. Beck?
Commies of a feather flock together.
Economic and environmental justice = REPARATIONS
definition of justice is “giving to each what he or she is due.”
Economic justice promotes a vision for economic fairness by advocating for fair wages and health benefits, the development of quality jobs for low wage workers.
Environmental justice (EJ) refers to inequitable environmental burdens borne by groups such as racial minorities, women, residents of economically disadvantaged areas, or residents of developing nations. Environmental justice proponents generally view the environment as encompassing “where we live, work, and play” (sometimes “pray” and “learn” are also included) and seek to redress inequitable distributions of environmental burdens (pollution, industrial facilities, crime, etc.) and equitably distribute access to environmental goods such as nutritious food, clean air & water, parks, recreation, health care, education, transportation, safe jobs, etc. Self-determination and participation in decision-making are key components of environmental justice. According to a compilation of thoughts by several notable EJ organizations, root causes of environmental injustices include “institutionalized racism; the commodification of land, water, energy and air; unresponsive, unaccountable government policies and regulation; and lack of resources and power in affected communities”.
I just love getting lectured by John Podesta...
Podesta site which is part of its regular feature “Radical Right-wing Agenda.”
John Podesta, Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff, and George Soros’ current point man at the Center for American Progress. Podesta’s site, called Think Progress is one of many that Podesta has launched from his 501©3 cum Political Action Committee
MediaMatters, a site created and run by the self-confessed liar, Soros-protégé and Podesta ally, David Brock. MediaMatters is entirely dedicated to the slander of Republicans and conservatives and has no other evident purpose.
******
Media Matters For America was created in 2004 by the Democrats left-wing progressives at the direction of Hillary Clinton to David Brock, now President and CEO of Media Matters For America. Clinton advised Brock, ex-conservative insider and author of The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy (Crown, May 2004) to start a media company to counter-attack the negative information from conservative talk shows like The Rush Limbaugh Show, Fox News network shows such as the O’Reilly Factor, and Hannity and Colmes and conservative bloggers like Michelle Malkin and Pajama Media. Funded by Center for American Progress (CAP)and the Tides Foundation, both million dollar non-profit charities that use funneled monies from un-named liberal donors like Bill and Hillary Clinton, and anti-conservative pet charities of George Soros, Michael Halperin, and John Podesta, Media Matters twists and manipulates current events to suit the left wing extremist’s political agenda.
Group Led By Clinton’s John Podesta Outlines Assault of Conservative Radio
By Noel Sheppard
June 21, 2007
The supposedly “free speech” left are out in force trying to silence all voices in the media with views different than their own just in time for the 2008 presidential campaign.
Potentially more worrisome, one liberal advocate in the middle of this debate has close ties to the Clintons, although it is quite unlikely the press will convey such when its recommendations are disseminated with their predictable stamp of approval.
*****Update: Michelle Malkin is all over this.
With that in mind, the left-leaning Center for American Progress published a report Thursday detailing how conservatives dominate the talk radio dial, and exactly what needs to be done legislatively for liberals to wrest control over this medium (emphasis added throughout):
•Restore local and national caps on the ownership of commercial radio stations.
•Ensure greater local accountability over radio licensing.
•Require commercial owners who fail to abide by enforceable public interest obligations to pay a fee to support public broadcasting.
Imagine that.
For those unfamiliar with the Center, its President and CEO is none other than John Podesta, the former Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton. And:
•The Executive Vice President for Management is Sarah Rosen, who was also a member of the Clinton administration.
•Senior Vice President for Development Debbie Goldberg worked for the Clinton campaign.
•Senior Vice President and Director David Halperin was a speech writer for President Clinton.
•Vice President of Communications Jennifer Palmieri was Clinton’s White House Deputy Press Secretary.
•Senior Vice President for External Affairs Winnie Stachelberg worked at the Office of Management and Budget under Clinton.
•Vice President of Finance and Operations Brad Kiley worked for the Clinton administration.
•Ditto Peter Rundlet, Anna Soellner, Debbie Fine, and Michelle Jolin.
In reality, the staff and Senior Fellows listing of this Center reads like a Clinton administration Who’s Who.
Shut up, Mr. Podesta. Or you are next.
Wherever you are. Were coming. You try to shove communism down our throats, from inside or outside of government, and we will ruin YOUR career, too. We have the numbers, we have the skill and we have the will.
