Glenn Beck up, left down and Van Jones defiant
politico.com ^ | September 6, 2009 | BEN SMITH & NIA-MALIKA HENDERSON

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.”

"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.

From the learned professor's website:

"You can catch MHL regularly on MSNBC. Look for her on the Rachel Maddow show and Countdown with Keith Olbermann."

Yeah media matters is in the tank for radical commies.

Thanks. I forgot about the racial card being used in this article as well as all the other crap. They know damned well it is his radical marxism that is detested NOT the color of his skin.

If they don’t report it it is not news

Based on my own experience it is *definitely* this.

They are obsessed with "controlling the debate" which is, in itself, a decent strategy. Their problem is that they lie. And then they believe their own lies and think that everyone else does, too. That is their weakness and our strength because we can stick to verifiable facts and bring them down just as Glenn Beck did with a-hole Jones.

"What does it tell us about Valerie Jarrett that she praises a radical, avowed communist?"

The same thing it tells us about Howard Dean...he said it was a great loss for America about Jones resignation...

A great loss? A radical like Jones? How can we trust anyone in that whole rat infested party? I know I sure don't.

So by Beck playing audio and video snippets of Jones blaming America for 9/11, mentioning a couple of times how communism works and how the green jobs will not hold his people down, this caused Jones to quit. What a pu$$. If he was such a go getter and never quit kind of guy, why quit now? Cuz’ he's spineless just like all of the Obama bullies. Stand up to a bully and watch them wet themselves.

Makes you wonder WHY the MSM went with this story...

and then got pissed when Jones resigned...

Jones is a SMALL minute’ part of their huge schemes.

But they are blinded with the power thay don’t see they are the minority and they are busted all-around, RED-handed.

Zer0 was right when he called Fox News a "big megaphone."

One trick to keep your lies afloat is to at least pretend to have integrity. Even the MSM can't ignore something this big forever and not be excoriated, especially since there was a resignation. This way they get to say "better late than never" and try to brush it off.

What they are starting to realize is that the regular folk don't believe them at all anymore - except for the partisans and even they know it's a lie - and to play these little stunts makes them look much worse than they wish it did.

Well, well, well. Here we go - AGAIN!

Nia-Malika Henderson should be working for Michelle Obama's personal staff of 27 (or is it 28?) synchophants and worshipers.

If you see any byline on Politico, and see her name on it, you can be sure it is White House Propaganda. Ben Smith should punch himself in the face repeatedly for allowing his name to be dragged through the muck for having it next to hers. She is Credibility Poison. She is also obsessed with race and protecting Michelle and "Barry" Obama by writing puff pieces to cover for them.

Blacks, whites hear Obama differently

Ambitious agenda for first lady

First of all, no mention that Van Jones is a Communist. No mention of his profanity laced tirade against any Republican. No mention of his his racist statements against white children.

Moreover, if anyone can get the Comments tab in this Politico article to work, let me know, because I can't.

Perhaps they disabled them after readers handed Smith and Nia-Malika Obama their collective behinds for writing a piece of garbage article that omits most of the facts about Van Jones and how Obama SAID he was a "Czar" (contrary to what they wrote). Do they still teach ETHICS 101 in Journalism School?

The scary thing is the Left isn’t outraged by this czar’s radical views, only that he was exposed for who he is. Partisan politics at its worst.

http://www.theurbandictionary.com

The urban dictionary is your friend:

1. pwned
A corruption of the word “Owned.” This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled “owned.” When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so “has been owned.”

Instead, it said, so-and-so “has been pwned.”

It basically means “to own” or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.
“Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned.”

Politico is a leftist hack website that, like most supposedly “journalistic” outlets is nothing more then a propaganda outlet for the Democrat National Committee. Conservatives should label as such to destroys it's fraudulent spin of being “objective”. It's not, it’s just another Leftist media enclave.

"politics at its worst"

Not even Carter or Clinton would have nominated a lunatic like Jones to any post. The fact that the Obama admin and assorted media flunkies are "puzzled" by the rejection of Jones speaks volumes about where their politics stand...to the left of Stalin.

WE ARE NOT LETTING JONES GO WITHOUT GETTING SOME ANSWERS

Ohaha gave Jones $30 BILLION to do with as he pleased. This conniving Communist surely found numerous ways to shovel US government money to himself, his friends and relatives, during his blessedly abbreviated tenure.

Freeper grampadave summed it up well:

(1) Jones "platinum exit package" needs investigation.

(2) We demand an external audit of every government nickel and dime this turkey Jones spent.

(3) We demand external audits and L/E investigations WRT any and all contracts he gave to so called non-profits, companies, enviral groups and green corporations.

(4) Every government contact made by this green communist must get an external audit;

(5) Any and all government contracts Jones signed should be scrutinized.

(6) We demand a complete external audit of his agency's budget.

(7) Companies that faced any Chicago-type of black/greenmail thug pressure to agree with this thug Jones, need to get their story out.

(8) Contact Glenn Beck to start the ball rolling.
