Wall Street Journal: "Glenn Beck Counts For More At the Obama White House" Than the Progressive Movement (The Huffington Post can only be linked to)

The left is very angry about what they see as Obama's betrayal.

I hope GB has a great tax attorney.

Hee heee! That’ll needle a few behinds over there at HuffPo.

Beck did a great job staying with the Van Jones story and never letting up.

Actual title does not run out of letters when spelling “movement”.

[ez]

Progressives don't just "believe" they deserve a seat at the table -- we actually do deserve that seat, not just because we worked to elect this president, but because our stance on major issues like the public option, climate change, Wall Street reform and the war are the majoritarian positions in America. That's not speculation -- polls show that's an empirical fact.

What polls are these people reading?

Heh heh. In the immortal words of Jimi Hendrix: Tire tracks all across your back. I can see you had your fun..."

[nickcarraway]

Yes, but it wouldn’t fit in Free Republic’s maximum allotment of letters for a title. What else could I do?

Van Jones is a poser and a fraud. He is also a communist.

Unless the "progressives" are nothing more than charlatans and communists, they should not want to associate with frauds like Jones. They should want people of accomplishments.

There are legitimate, left-wing activists who actually do help ex-cons, the poor, and the downtrodden accomplish things. Van Jones was not one of those people. Van Jones is to effective left-wing activists what Bernie Madoff was to Certified Financial Planners.

I wonder what they think about the Messiah’s coming betrayal of the left when he dumps public option over the side?

[TexasCajun]

Just Say No To COMMUNIST!

[Always Right]

What a pant load. Obama is throwing this radical progressive under the bus because the American people oppose the radicals. America distrusts government and wants smaller government. Trying to argue that the majority of American people are onboard for big government solutions to everything is complete crap.

“If Glenn Beck had any sense at all, he would have done everything in his power to keep Van Jones right where he was.”

Arianna at her ditzy best...

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I want’s my seat ats the table too.

HA HA HA

[humblegunner]

Yes, but it wouldn’t fit in Free Republic’s maximum allotment of letters for a title. What else could I do?

Point well taken.

I've never run into that, but I can see how that might be.

Darn limits!

You answered your own question. There's no "Unless" about it. They are nothing more than charlatans, communists, and haters of America.

You mean Semi-Colin Powell was EXAGGERATING ????

[MissesBush]

Funny you posted this. I was just reading the op ed in the Wall Street Journal this quote about Beck comes from. I winced and went “Ooooo!!! Body blow!” when I read that. The Journal delivered a great kick in the crotch to the left with that line.
