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.”

Amen! Good riddance to him. Until he pops up somewhere else.

I think Glenn just made a simple mistake by saying prison instead of jail and saying it was part of the LA riots. Van Jones did say all those things about meeting radicals and becoming a communist.

There is room for calling Eva Paterson's account into question too. Beck says he was arrested twice and she only explains away one incident. She also fails to say what the SF protest was about and since it was only two weeks after the RK/LA riots it well may have been related.

My intent was just to cut off getting caught repeating a possibly false or exaggerated story. He called himself a communist and that's where we have them.

Also; I wouldn't put it past Van Jones to call a few hours in jail prison time to up his street cred with the green commies he was trying to impress.

"I been a victim uh da man, lawdy lawdy, I been so down."

He's a snake oil POS that would say anything to anybody.

Yep, on with the show. I can’t wait until we get to that Czar that thinks there should be force abortions and sterilizers in the water supply. That one’s gonna be fun.

” I’ve no idea where he stands in his own mind on any of those positions, but unless he and I were best friends and he confessed such things to me, I would never trust him to have my back.”

I agree. In my opinion, unless it forwards his self image, he’s not going to put much into it.

” 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. “

Will do so on both points, but still think Beck delivers, while Bill talks about it in the context of himself.

” O’Reilly claimed Obama would rule as a Centrist. O’Reilly, with his Harvard Education, did a rotten job of analysis. Period. “

We agree on that point. Bill doesn’t get out on the limb much like Beck, Hannity, others.

He does enough to expose some hypocrisy, and take on people like Barney Frank, but then does followups ( Frank example) where he lets them off the hook.

The others go for the jugular.

Exception for O’Reilly, his intense disdain for Immeldt and GE.....

No prob.

The sad thing? These people are virtually interchangeable, it almost makes no difference what post they've been assigned, the outcome will still be the same.

I have to pat O’Reilly on the back about that one thing- that I DON’T have any idea where he actually stands as far as left/right. On certain specific issues, I know what he is espousing, but that may not translate to other issues.

If all reporters and news organs who claim to be “unbiased” did as well, I would not mind their advocacy on some issue or another. Unfortunately, all the OldMedia are simply Democrat party propaganda now.

“Rogers also served as Director of the Illinois Lottery.”

Related info on this you tube segment. (Brace yourself, it is connected to the winning Illinois Lottery numbers on November 5, the day after Obama won the election.)

I don’t know if Rogers was still working for the Illinois lottery at that time but I am sure we could find out.

Sorry I missed the posting. Is it where six six six won the day the false messiah was officially elected?

Without a doubt. BOR is so wrapped up in himself he's almost a cartoon. As long as he is exposing the SRM and hammering them for being low-rent whores for the left that's fine with me.
