Obama's environmental czar started group targeting Beck Attacks follow Fox News host's reporting of White House adviser's radical activism

By Aaron Klein © 2009 WorldNetDaily

President Obama's "green jobs czar" is co-founder of an African-American activist organization that has led a campaign prompting major advertisers to withdraw from Glenn Beck's top-rated Fox News Channel program.

In recent weeks, Beck has done several critical segments about Van Jones, who was appointed as the special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

Beck's segments were based in part on WND's reporting that Jones was as an admitted radical communist and black nationalist leader.

Now Colors of Change, an activist organization seeking to "strengthen Black America's political voice" has led a furious campaign against Beck culminating in major companies such as Geico and Lawyers.com pulling their spots from the Fox News star's daily show. The group also says it has garnered about 75,000 signatories for an online petition against Beck to be sent to advertisers.

Colors of Change says the controversy stems from Beck's recent comment while a guest on another Fox News show that Obama is a "racist" with "a deep-seated hatred for white people."

Bill Shine of Fox News' programming department clarified Beck was expressing "a personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the Fox News Channel.

"...75,000 signatories for an online petition against Beck to be sent to advertisers."

Time to blast these advertisers with about 750,000 irate letters telling them just how we Beck fans who actually work for a living and purchase their products feel about their contempt for us.

Obama's "Climate Czar" is on the same page with Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro...

From GreenLeft.org

VENEZUELA: Chavez calls for global offensive for socialism
August 31, 2005

excerpts...

"The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet."

"I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don't think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, 'tomorrow could be too late, let's do now what we need to do'."

"I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet."

--Hugo Chavez, at the 16th World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Caracas on August 8-15, 2005

Obama climate czar has socialist ties
Group sees 'global governance' as solution

by Stephen Dinan

Until last week, Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama's pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for "global governance" and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change.

By Thursday, Mrs. Browner's name and biography had been removed from Socialist International's Web page, though a photo of her speaking June 30 to the group's congress in Greece was still available.

Can anybody imagine the rage from the media if this were somebody in the Bush Administration Mau-Mauing Liberal TV hosts and their advertisers?

These are genuine Nazi tactics.

I am calling GEICO and informing them that I will be pulling MY business from them. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. If they want to play this game, let’s show them by boycotting THEM.

“How many signatures can we gather to protect the First Amendment”

Evidently, you won’t get one from Lawyers dot com. They must care as much about the “rule of law” as does a certain former editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Me too. I love Glenn Beck. The fact that my tax dollars go to pay for some czar to target him makes me sick.

Since when are the American people obligated to pay unelected government czars to attack the American people?

. . . this is a little different as it is actually coming indirectly from Obama.

That is the kernel of the story. An executive department official is waging war against a corporation. Where is the widespread outrage? Who or what company is next? We are diving headfirst into totalitarianism.

We have every reason to fear our government.

“Obama’s environmental czar started group to target Beck”.

This commie and all the other “czars” are doing what they were hired to do, and are being paid by taxpayers to do this. He, of course, is being told what to do by the obamanation who is a coward and runs and hides and lies.

As hitler said:

It is not truth that matters, but victory”

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.”

Let's pursue your train of thought. I agree with you that it would be fair to have direct information, as citizens, as to whether the President can name thirty, fourty, who knows, upwards of ONE HUNDRED CZARS to circumvent congress. And does the president have the right to FORCE us taxpayers to pay the czar salaries when we ALREADY HAVE REPRESENTATIVES whose salaries we PAY. Do we have a DICTATOR or do we have a President? Is the congress OK'ing these CZARS or are they AFRAID to CONFRONT UHBAMA?

This administration is diabolical. Nothing less.
