Glenn Beck up, left down and Van Jones defiant

The Jones departure recalls another Democratic surrender: The indicated willingness to abandon a plan to fund voluntary end-of-life consultations after they were miscast by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as “death panels.”

"As we've seen before, succumbing to these types of propaganda attacks from the right wing only emboldens the aggressors. This controversy will go away and they will trump up another one tomorrow,” said David Brock, founder and chairman of Media Matters for America, a group that has taken on conservative commentators. “No good comes from appeasing a lunatic bully like Glenn Beck."

"If Jones left under pressure from the Obama administration then we are in for a very long and painful four years,” said Melissa Harris Lacewell, a political science professor at Princeton University. “I would hate to think that Glenn Beck can simply shout down any member of the administration he chooses to target.”

He will be in Washington on the 12th. None of us want him to be a martyr for our cause.

Glenn is not going to Washington on the 12th. Last I heard he, his family, and staff were going to spend the time fasting and praying.

Totally agree with the second sentence.

Am I reading this right? Do I need new glasses, or maybe more caffeine? Or maybe I need a pill?

If I am reading this correctly, then I say ....

Is 'professor' Lacewell out of her mind?

If not, then I hope her dues to the CPUSA are current? 'SERIES', what is this "we" carp? Only a fellow Communist could *defend* Van Jones, the self avowed Communist, and the moronic stuff that he said.

And was 'professor' Lacewell just as offended when the left called Dubya everything from Hitler to a Night-Riding Klan member? Somehow I doubt it. And to boot she is 'teaching' peoples children, and very expensively at that.

As to Glenn Beck 'shouting down' members of Barry's Administration - someone has to do it 'professor', as Sen. Joe McCarthy is dead. 'Heck', every Communist near the WH needs to be 'shouted down'. As public lynchings for TRAITORS have been outlawed, our options are somewhat limited. /s

Actually, he is covering the Tea Party

“It’s not clear yet what “The 912 Project” participants and Glenn Beck (Fox News) may be planning for the months ahead. The Glenn Beck website may share more information on this as plans develop. Glenn has announced that he plans to cover the 9/12 protest in Washington DC.”

That was the last I heard too. Maybe his plans have changed. I couldn’t blame him knowing the heat he is taking.

Bump to your post. Great idea!

Wow. Profound.

I heard he was fasting and praying on 9-11, but the next day he would be reporting on ALL the Tea Parties from New York.

He said that on his radio show the other day because he was getting lots of requests to speak in DC. He thought he would be much better positioned in NY reporting on all the activities that day, as there are many protests planned across the country.

ADA GRAY David Brock!?... Isn’t he the fruit fly who flipped from being a conservative to a liberal so he could be invited to more parties?

Heh.....(Brock---fruit fly)...perfect description.

Thanks. I was going to the wrong Comment button.

I read the comments, and they slammed the article and Van Jones.

I mean, really Politico. Who do you think you are posting this crap to? They are savvy enough to see BS when you post it, so someone tell their resident Obama Worshipper, Nia-Malika Henderson, to either join the Obama Administration, or quit posting lies, bias, and distortion.

[TigersEye]

And in doing so he will also expose Bill “ O Gas Bag” O’Reilly for the great bloviator that he is. He’s the one who touts he is “ looking out for you”

BOR can still be a useful idiot for us. He's on a crusade to expose the SRM for the partisan wack jobs that they are. Sooooo....

If you have information on the administration; pass it along to Glenn Beck.

If you have information on media bias, hypocrisy, incompetence, etc.; pass it to BOR.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Very well said.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Thanks! I missed the comments.

Piss of Politico! We have only just begun! We are fired up and we won’t stop until every, single Pinko, America hater, unconstitutional Czar is disgraced and brought down. Oh yea, and the census the WH stole needs to be returned.

[mojitojoe]

Nia Malika, nice name/s

[TigersEye]

Great work on that post. I saved the webpage and I saved to a file the HTML of your post so I can re-post that where appropriate. I notice that they were especially proud that money for nuclear energy and “clean” coal was scrapped. The left doesn’t want energy independence.

ANYONE who quotes an admitted liar as a source for ANYTHING has no credibility whatsoever! It's like it is coming directly from John Podesta funded by George Soros and POLITICO knows it!

Melissa Harris Lacewell - a regular on MSNBC with Keith Olbermann.

[mojitojoe]

Valerie Jarrett might be another gift. Cass Sunstain might be one of these gifts also. Add Lloyd to that list, those are the first 3 that need to go. There is a wealth of information on them and it should be a slam dunk.

[mojitojoe]

ping to 108. Any goods on her yet?

[TigersEye]

Jones never spent any time in prison. He spent a few hours in jail after a protest in San Francisco. He filed a lawsuit about that on behalf of himself and the others who were arrested and won a small settlement.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Exactly. And Gore and family get richer as well many others yet we are left with no jobs so who cares about health care.
