Black Group Comes Out In Support Of Glenn Bec

BOND Action, Inc., a national cultural action organization, has come out in support of FOX News Channel broadcaster Glenn Beck. Beck has been under attack from the radical left-wing group ColorOfChange.org after he said last month that he believes President Obama is “a racist.”

ColorOfChangeorg was founded by Van Jones; a self-described “rowdy black nationalist.” Jones now serves as White House environmental advisor (“green jobs czar”). So far advertisers including Geico, Ally Bank, and Sargento Cheese have been intimidated into pulling ads off The Glenn Beck Show. “BOND Action, Inc., will be working to expose the source behind the boycott and counter it,” said Founder and President, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.

“Glenn Beck is right, Obama is a racist! ” added Rev. Peterson. “Where were the boycotts and outraged activists when President George W. Bush was being falsely maligned as a ‘racist’? This is a blatant double standard. This boycott is an attempt to silence Beck from continuing his expose’ of Barack Obama’s socialist agenda and his radical ‘green jobs czar’ Van Jones.” ColorOfChange.org claims some 33 advertisers have pulled their ads off The Glenn Beck Show, but that number is reportedly exaggerated. ColorOfChange.org has a checkered past. The group reportedly endorsed outrageous statements by rapper Kanye West that former President Bush gave troops permission to go to New Orleans and shoot black people during Hurricane Katrina. Beck’s television program draws more than 2 million viewers and BOND Action, Inc., is calling on advertisers not to cave in to pressure.

Rev. Peterson said, “ColorOfChange.org claims that it exists to ‘strengthen Black America’s political voice’—but it’s clear that they are a left-wing, racist political group that deal in lies. This attempt to silence Beck is an attack on free speech and must be countered.”

BOND Action, Inc. is a 501 (c) (4) cultural action organization, which exists to educate motivate and rally Americans to greater involvement in the moral, cultural and political issues that threaten our great country. Contributions to BOND Action, Inc. are NOT tax-deductible, but are confidential. For more information call (877) WE-ACT-77 (932-2877) or visit www.bondaction.org">

Have you (or anyone else here) attempted to research the Apollo Alliance on the Internet?

Their web site is rather colorful, in that it focuses exclusively on support for "renewable (green) energy". Dig a little deeper and you'll find a broader range of interests including "social justice" and "economic justice". You might also notice that they are funded as a 501(c)(3) project of the Tides Foundation, which is quite possibly the center of the Progressive money universe.

Other than that, Google turns up pretty much nothing.

Interestingly, David Horowitz's discoverthenetworks.org does not contain a unique entry for them, either.

Yes I did try to do a search of them. Got the same results.

Wow! Good for Rev Peterson, glad he's speaking out.This boycott is an attempt to silence Beck from continuing his expose’ of Barack Obama’s socialist agenda and his radical ‘green jobs czar’ Van Jones.”

Wow. He said it.

I just marked it with no one in the “reply to” field so I could read it later, and give the thread a bump. I should have wrote ‘bookmarked’ I guess. Sorry.

[andy58-in-nh]

I found some good research material on the Apollo Alliance here and here.

Bump for Glenn!

“Became a Communist”

That looks like it’s going to be an interesting read too..

America has had its racists, and you don't have to be a member of the KKK to be one. The cop who arbitrarily kept NFL running back Moats from the bedside of his dying mother-in-law down in Texas sure acted like one.

But you don't have to be white to be a racist, either. The idea that only whites can be racist is itself a racist idea.

When you wish upon a czar
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a czar
As dreamers do ...

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a czar
Your dreams come true

Thank you Rev. Peterson. You are a good man.

Just called his office, said thanks and sent a small contribution but all I could do. Apparently he spoke at a TEA party in Tennessee. They are working on their website and plan on posting his speaking schedule. What is really sad is that if organizations like Bond Action and Raging Elephants had even 20% of the money that the lib organizations do, they would become such a dominant educational force.
