They attack Beck and Drudge. It is like Van Jones did nothing wrong! THIS IS OUR MEDIA, folks. taking sides... UNBELIEVABLE!

This part especially, is unbelievable!

"It struck me, why go after this guy? He is a minor player, he has no power, no budget, why take him? It's because he looks like Obama and he has all those same attributes of being well-educated and he’s an electrifying speaker with an elite education," said John Anner, a good friend of Jones and former chair of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, an organization Jones founded in Oakland. "It seems to me that he is symbolic of what the Obama administration is and could be and that's inspiring for me, but for some people on the right, it's terrifying and threatening.”

The third lesson of the Jones flap is less unique to Obama’s White House, and to the moment. Jones was just an adviser to the Council on Environmental Quality – he was never officially referred to as a “green jobs czar,” as he’s sometimes been called – but he was also a celebrity of sorts. His work in California fusing civil rights, economics, and environmentalism put him at the head of powerful streams in the Democratic Party. He’d been the subject of a full-length profile in the New Yorker, and top officials sometimes touted him as a kind of trophy hire.

it was Obama himself that referred to him as a CZAR!

Please note the WH saying LOW LEVEL job!!! What a joke.

And this is the classic definition of... anyone? Anyone? Modern Socialism.

And the powerful streams in the Democratic Party are... anyone? Anyone? Marxists.

The article is three pages long.

More snippets.

What does it tell us that The first lady of the U.S. endorsed this radical communist?

At a commencement address in the spring, first lady Michelle Obama held Jones up as an example to students of people who are doing interesting and innovative work.

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

Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett echoed that praise to a cheering crowd at the Netroots Nation convention this summer. “Van Jones, we were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House, we have been watching him really...for as long as he's been active out in Oakland... and all of the creative ideas that he has... and now we have all of that energy and enthusiasm in the White House," Jarrett said.

I cannot believe they are blaming Fox News,Drudge,Beck for pointing out a radical communist!!! I can't believe the MEDIA are still silent on this. This very article does not report/investigate what Van Jones is about.It just reports the poor,poor democrats and Obama are being picked on and bullied.

TO POLITICO:Bully this, Politico. Do you get paid to promote 0bama?Why didn't you report FACTS on Van Jones yourself? Why don't you START NOW and investigate ALL OF THE CZARS because we are.

All Glenn Beck does is ask questions. Keep asking, Glenn.

"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." "

Hmmmmmmmm...that's ODD....

NOT ME!!

THIS IS OUR MEDIA, folks. taking sides... UNBELIEVABLE!

This is actually a temper tantrum by Ben Smith, extreme Obama propagandist.

He stumbled upon an accurate statement here, though:

They turned an anodyne presidential pep talk to students Tuesday into an illustration of the wide discomfort in parts of the country with Obama’s presidency. And they beat those drums for days before elected officials in Washington jumped on the bandwagon.

It wasn't the speech itself, so much as the growing opposition to Obama.

I think Media Matters is part of Soros machine.
Van Jones was going to allocate large amounts of stimulus money. I saw on Sunday talk shows, they are trying to spin Czars as minor players. Race card again too. Same talking points being repeated.

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."

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.

By BEN SMITH & NIA-MALIKA HENDERSON

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.

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.

Now we need an account of where all the money went that was under Van Jones supervision.

Over a billion dollars, (actually I think 2 billion.) What groups received that money.

This will be the new narrative. They will say that Beck is a racist went after Van Jones because he is Black. You will never hear about the lunatic positions Van Jones took or espoused. You will only hear that Glenn Beck is the new McCarthy. Van Jones will be lionized as the new Che.
