I’d be happy to debate him if Beck won’t.

Hey Van, how about it ;)

It would end right with VJ storming out screaming “RACIST!!!” right after I read the 1963 Communist goals from the congressional record in my opening statement.

“Evidently that comment is based on zero knowledge of Beck.”

You’d be relying on misleading evidence then.

“You presume that because he is leaving Fox he has nothing to do?”

No.

“You do realize he is organizing the “Restoring Courage” rally in Jerusalem in August, right?”

Yes.

“And that he has invested all his personal financial resources in GBTV, intended to be an online alternative to state-controlled media?”

Yes, but I had not realized it was ‘all his personal financial resources’ even if I’m unable to see how his finances affects his agreeing to a debate with Van Jones, especially if he makes it conditional that he’s able to broadcast it on his GBTV.

That he no longer has to be in a New York Fox studio five evenings a week gives him some additional time and flexibility, doesn’t it?

Van Jones is a red communist son of a bitch who ought to be set adrift on an iceberg along with every other red son of a bitch in DC.

The muslim in chief can steer.

People forget how tough Glenn can be. People from the left went on his show in the beginning and found themselves in a steel cage match with an angry wolverine.

So they have a self professed communist as their keynote speaker?

Yet they’re touchy about people using the word socialism in connection with them.

GBTV is a massive undertaking, and a huge financial risk. You can see that in the video of the launch event.

If you invested your entire net worth in something and faced financial ruin if it failed, how much "spare time" would you have?

You missed the hilarious part of this whole Charlie Foxtrot. Breitbart crashed their party, I assume to take a victory lap. Hours after I heard about it and I'm still laughing.

Ask him; I’m not as wealthy as he is and investing my entire net worth risking financial ruin. I only invest in things of that risk what I can afford to lose.

Van Jones is probably just upset that Glenn Beck and Greg Gutfield had a game show yesterday and laughed at Van Jones “Give dem da welf” speech.

That's why people like you and I never achieve the kind of success people like Beck achieve.

The bigger the risks, the bigger the reward if you win, and the more painful the loss if you don't.

Us risk-avoiders get rewarded commensurately.

Haven't achieved doesn't equal will never achieve - there's plenty of time left, at least for me, and I'm happy with my results so far, which may very well exceed Glenn Beck's in the long run, or George Soros', or anyone you could name. I wouldn't group me with you, from what I can see of how you've come at this with me on this thread, and your profile. Do you still believe that Osama bin Laden isn't really dead?

High risk doesn't necessarily equal high reward. Those who buy an index fund and just hold it usually come out ahead of frenetic, risk-hungry day-traders, for instance. Another example would be the difference between those who bet on favorites in horse races consistently, or those who consistently bet on the biggest long-shots in the race.

“Glenn Beck would have the time now, wouldn’t he?”

VJ the Commie Jay ought to warm up with someone he knows would be really easy, someone like, hmmmm, Dick Cheney.

I don’t think they’d be able to afford the rights to the Imperial March from Star Wars for that.
