"Obi-Wan Baloney, you're our only hope!"

(Sept. 8) -- While you were out this Labor Day weekend, you might have missed Sunday's resignation of Van Jones, President Obama's "green jobs czar." Plenty of commentators noticed and, two days later, they're still chattering about all the implications.
Most see it as an example of the White House caving in to pressure from conservatives or trying to eliminate distractions from the president's renewed push for health care reform. For some, it marks Glenn Beck's ascendance to a leading role in the media opposition to the Obama administration. The Fox News host portrayed Jones as a radical and a Communist in a broader campaign attacking Obama advisers known as "czars."
News that Jones had used a crude epithet to describe Republicans and signed a petition suggesting the Bush administration was in on the 9/11 attacks added to his troubles.
In this episode of Czar Wars, Arianna Huffington is casting Jones -- her friend and former employee -- as Obi-Wan Kenobi. She says striking him down just makes him more powerful -- freeing him to be a stronger force in advancing progressive causes. So Huffington thanks Beck for thrusting Jones into the spotlight, even if it was through a "vile and vicious smear campaign."
Beck has also thrust himself in the spotlight and nobody expects him to back away now. The Daily Beast and Politico are scoping out his next targets. They include regulatory adviser Cass Sunstein, FCC diversity chief Mark Lloyd and environmental adviser Carol Browner. One conservative blog added Ron Bloom's name to the list just hours after President Obama introduced him as "manufacturing czar" on Labor Day.

Czar Wars: A New Hope
Darth Bama, a young Beckwalker.... oh, this has potential.
So, Huffy makes the connection that Van Jones’ beliefs are “progressive”,
ie,
“progressive” = radical, America & American tradition hating communist
All Glenn Beck is doing is what an average reporter would have done several decades ago - investigate, and get the facts.
This is not denigrating his achievement - far from it. It’s showing how very far the media has fallen, and that the game is pretty much over.
Then again, ask Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon how “unbiased” the media was, even back then.
PS the very day a Republican congress is seated it should cut off all funding for these “czars” and their operations.
"The Fox News host portrayed accurately pointed out that Jones as is a radical and a Communist"
Yeah, she’s going to help his cause!
Huffington = Super Flake on Airhead Steroids.
"The Fox News host accurately pointed out that Jones is a self-confessed radical and a Communist"
Its really "right wing" to parrot the drive by media on this.
He was the co-founder of the truthers, so it wasn't just "signed a petition".

Will the golddigger take personal responsibility for his racial incitements such as the Jena 6 fraud which covered up a hate crime?
Interesting quote!
“”Obi-Wan Baloney, you’re our only hope!” “
Hmmm....I could handle an Obi-Wan cannoli right about now.
Keep on em Beck!!! Too bad they replaced Jones, but hopefully by this constant hammering on Obama and his administration and what they are doing...more people will wake up and see it.
Once you wake up and see this stuff, YOU CANNOT unsee it. You CANNOT unbelieve it.
It’s scary, and we all have to stand up and say YOU SHALL NOT PASS, to this evil, corrupt government!!!
He finally used the “C” word. It works. They are Communists. Result...VICTORY. No one is saying they are not Communists. THIS is the conversation we need to have.
Slays...

The powers that be are not happy!
White House issues call for 'dirt on Beck' to
take him down using its favorite media tool.
Presidential poll numbers continue to drop like a stone.
Many in congress fear massive losses in 2010. 
The President is under pressure from all sides.
He seeks help from his medical adviser.
May the Fox be with you!
