Obama's environmental czar started group targeting Beck Attacks follow Fox News host's reporting of White House adviser's radical activism
By Aaron Klein © 2009 WorldNetDaily
President Obama's "green jobs czar" is co-founder of an African-American activist organization that has led a campaign prompting major advertisers to withdraw from Glenn Beck's top-rated Fox News Channel program.
In recent weeks, Beck has done several critical segments about Van Jones, who was appointed as the special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
Beck's segments were based in part on WND's reporting that Jones was as an admitted radical communist and black nationalist leader.
Now Colors of Change, an activist organization seeking to "strengthen Black America's political voice" has led a furious campaign against Beck culminating in major companies such as Geico and Lawyers.com pulling their spots from the Fox News star's daily show. The group also says it has garnered about 75,000 signatories for an online petition against Beck to be sent to advertisers.
Colors of Change says the controversy stems from Beck's recent comment while a guest on another Fox News show that Obama is a "racist" with "a deep-seated hatred for white people."
Bill Shine of Fox News' programming department clarified Beck was expressing "a personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the Fox News Channel.

Beck exposed the environmentalist Czar's involvement in Death Care Reform.
The entire Death Care Bill is a Socialist/Communist scam. To prove it, just look at the Czars that have been appointed. Those who believe toddlers should be aborted, admitted communists, those who believe people under 15 and over 40 should be denied government services and allowed to die in a financial crises or rationing problem.
In my opinion, Oboma, or maybe someone behind the scenes (but I doubt it), is a mad man, and he's going to hurt this country much, much more than it's worst enemy's ever could.
What we've seen so far is only the tip of the ice burg. There's a lot more of Obomas destruction to come. Even the rabid left will end up suffering the unintended consequences.
I think the democrats are doing it to sure up the illegal immigrant vote before they pass an amnesty bill. I don't think most of the democrat politicians see the evil they're about to unleash. By the time they realize what they've done, it'll be too late to stop it.
They are saying that Men’s Warehouse dropped Beck, too. Slimeballs. Jos A Bank and Brooks Bros only for my townhall meetings from now on! “First they came for the well dressed....”
Beck should discuss this "Radical left wing boycott" on his show. Maybe the cowardly sponsors would prefer a Right Wing/Independent/Libertarian/ Constitutionalists/ moderate democrat boycott instead? They can choose which side they want to support. (Psst. Our groups have an income)
I know. The idea of corporate geeks reacting to threats of boycotts by a bunch of moochers is laughable. We need to develop the art of the “counter boycott” and hit them in the bottom line. Boycott the companies who reacted to the boycott. Producers can actually have that effect. Like, how many people in ACORN or “Color of Change” actually buy suits at Men’s Warehouse? Or subscribe to Lexis Nexus? Or even buy car insurance?
The sponsors are biting the hands that feed them. They should be exposed and starved. We can easily do that. It won't hurt us a bit. We have other options. They don't.
The right wing controls the money, because our side is employed. If we put our heads together, we could bring some serious change to this country - for the better, but most people don't know their own strength.
We have a black nationalist, black anti-American, anti-white, anti-European, anti Western Civilization, anti Christian, pro Muslim, pro Communist, pro terrorist, pro Arab pseudo-American fraud of a President and a wanna-be dictator in the same vein as the late Idi Amin of Uganda or Fidel Castro of Cuba or any the other psychos in our present time who have Hitler, Stalin or Nero complexes.
That's who America has in the White House and his minions are determined to wreck America and enslave you any way they can, e.g. the current government attempt at taking over the nation's health care industry.
Oh NO! I tell ya, this makes me feel like I want to smack um, ALL OF UM.
I just read this and told my husband to call our Geico agent tomorrow and tell him we’ll be dropping our insurance if they drop their sponsorship of Beck’s program.
We will be calling our Geico agent tomorrow.
Is there a petition to sign?
I hope she's thought to call the FBI. She has a Constitutionally protected right to speak freely.
Progressive is better than GEICO any way.
Even middle of the road O'Reilly bashes Progressive for their far, far, FAR left wing activism. They're extremely far left wing.
The name 'Progressive' didn't clue you in?
I sent them an e-mail complaining, and got back a form letter saying they were avoiding “controversy”. I replied by asking them if they were advertising on MSNBC.
Looks like Progressive pulled their advertising from Beck, too:
