President Obama's "green jobs czar" is co-founder of a black 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.

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.
I get it, YOU are too much of a coward to call a spade a spade so it bothers you when others have courage you cannot dream of? If that is not what it is it sure appears that way.
I got a mailer from them. I didn't open it I put "RETURN TO SENDER" in red magic marker. On the back I wrote "Beck Supporter I will not ever consider your insurance. . . "

Correction. Later found out to be a commie.

Mmmm Hmmmm, and elvis, Santa claus, Mickey Mouse, whole ball teams are all on that list- over and over again
Bump to all four of your responses.
Racist struck a cord because it is a term only allowed for use by the Left.
I thought Mr. Beck gave a cogent explanation of WHY Mr. Obama was and is a racist.
Regarding the word racist, perhaps some are suggesting that the Right, composed of Conservatives or the Republicans (not necessarily one and the same) just run tail, cower, and simply add “racist” to their growing special dictionary of banned words that are off limits by use of the Right.
Don’t recall that there is such a dictionary of banned words for the Left. Which is part of Beck’s point as well.
I don’t agree with everything Beck says, he cloaks in humor mixed with cynicism, operating from a different level than some other talk show hosts, giving a broad overview what is happening to the US, but his heart is right.

I didn’t say anything about Beck in the post to which you refer. Why so defensive of him?
I’m not a huge fan of Beck... but in this case I say good on him.
Anything else?

Good job, keep it up!
Be Ever Vigilant!
One of the primary advantages of keeping **CRISIS’S** going, one on top of the other, is it allows them to hide things they are doing in the back rooms because the people are so overwhelmed that they can’t pay attention to everything. That’s how they tucked in that 1.1 BILLION dollars in the TRILLION dollars Stimulus Bill to pay for the healthcare outcomes council (to study about the savings of getting rid of elderly, babies (both born and unborn and handicapped). That has already been funded, so the first part of the Marxist healthcare takeover was done in February before we knew what was in the Stimulus package. I can guarantee that there are a lot of other snakes in the Stimulus Bill which are just waiting to strike.
Plus, we were not expecting, nor looking for this kind of treason.
“There will be no outrage from the media. Beck is being used as an example to them.”
Most don’t need an example. Most will be holding the torches and pitchforks.
Um..Saul who?
“Well, there ya go.”
Quite a few conservatives have gone independent since the GOP started returning to center-left. Doesn’t mean he’s one of them, as the designation also covers people who think the Democrats are too far to the right....
Doesn’t meant he’s not, either.
Glenn can do what he wants! Isn’t this still a free country? ;)
Sometimes I find Glenn’s histrionics a bit over the edge, but that’s just me. I have a button on my tv that can turn him off if I want to.
That said, when I agree with him, I cheer.
Your eyes are gonna stay like that if you roll them too much. Just sayin’
“Glenn can do what he wants! Isn’t this still a free country? ;)”
It hasn’t been that for a long time, really. It’s just that the frog is starting to notice.
Bullcrap! BO is a racist and it makes no difference if you skirt the issue and try to be nice by not calling him what he is. They will call the GOP and any conservative racist and a lot worse whether you tell the truth about them or not. Hurt the movement? Sitting back and playing nice has gained us what over the years? Certainly not respect or anything else. Obama is a racist and that fact and the reasons why he is one should be trumpeted at every turn. Same old “roll over and turn the other cheek” crap that invites them to kick us and lie more because we do nothing to refute it to the dullard voting public.
