Glenn Beck used his popular Fox News show this afternoon to attack the background of Van Jones, a White House environmental advisor who co-founded an African American political advocacy group that organized an advertising boycott of his program.
During his 2 p.m. PDT show, Beck did not address the boycott spearheaded by Color of Change to protest the talk show host’s remark last month that he believes President Obama is “a racist.”
Instead, he spent a large share of his program suggesting that Jones, who co-founded Color of Change in 2005, is a radical. Jones now serves as a special advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
During a six-minute biographical profile, set to ominous music, Beck said Jones was twice arrested for political protests and has described himself as a "rowdy black nationalist." The talk show host cast the piece as part of a broader examination of Obama's "czars," special advisers to the president who "don't answer to anybody."
"Why is it that such a committed revolutionary has made it so high into the Obama administration as one of his chief advisers?" Beck asked.

The key word is suggesting. Glenn, didn't suggest anything. He gave proof, Van Jones is a radical communist.
That is shocking ... no FBI security clearances .. it’s done by the freaking White Thug House ??? This article’s essence was bad enough. My neck’s going into spasms from shaking my head so much ... every day, every single damn day .. another despicable depravity.

EXCLUSIVE: Top secret clearances flawed at Pentagon
One-fourth have ‘derogatory’ data
By Shaun Waterman THE WASHINGTON TIMES | Thursday, June 4, 2009

Excerpt:
The Pentagon may have issued top-secret clearances last year to as many as one-in-four applicants who had “significant derogatory information” in their backgrounds, including a record of foreign influence or criminal conduct, a little- noticed government audit says.
*snip*
Ms. Eshoo was responding to an audit published last month by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) warning one in four top-secret clearances issued by the Pentagon last year had no record of why officials had approved the applicant despite “significant derogatory information” that raised security concerns - most frequently about foreign influence or criminal conduct.
The audit also found that nearly nine in 10 new top-secret clearances last year were granted even though background investigation files on the applicant “were missing at least one type of documentation,” most often employment verification.
The Pentagon granted more than 450,000 initial security clearances, and another 180,000 renewals, to military personnel, civilian employees and private contractors last year, based on the results of background investigations conducted by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
Auditors reached their conclusions by examining a random sample of 3,500 files on top-secret clearances granted in July last year.
GAO auditors said their report concentrated on top-secret clearances because people with them “have access to information that, if improperly disclosed, could cause exceptionally grave damage to national security.”
The risks inherent in granting security clearances to the wrong people are illustrated by the case of Noureddine Malki, a naturalized U.S. citizen who worked as a contract translator for the U.S. military in Iraq. Last year, Malki was sentenced to 10 years in prison and stripped of his citizenship after pleading guilty of lying about his background, biography and even his name in his applications for citizenship and later a top-secret security clearance.

I just posted this on another thread. Maybe it belongs here as well.
D. Eisenhower l954 Communist Control Act S.3706 Makes it illegal.. and empowers the FBI against communist organizations.
What happened to this law why isn’t it being used?
I remember how repulsed I was at what the Clintons did in the White House. They couldn't hold a candle to this group.
I saw this report on Beck, it was excellent. The White House is operating the way things operate in Chicago. The people who are in front of the media—the Emanuels, the Axelrods—they have things covered and usually can’t be outed. Its the “little people” behind the scenes that no one knows about that really have the power...this Jones guy is a real bum.

I don’t cuss - but dxxxx it! First I had heard of eaither Van Jones or this 9/11 desecration!
Help us, dear God!!!
The czars probably cannot get a security clearance and so they cannot get access to classified material (supposedly anyway)....if you believe THAT, there’s this bridge I want to sell you.
Every day in every way we see their destruction coming our way!
“does the FBI have NO absolutely NO regards for the safety of the American People.”
Its my personal opinion that the opinions of the FBI etc. were not particularly important to Barry and as such didn’t matter.
Where the $hit is going to hit the fan is when Barry’s minion Holder begins to directly assault the CIA etc. over the War On Terror.
Those agencies have a lot of dirt to dish up via leaks etc. Not the least of which is partnering with other intel agencies to leak things and Barry Sotero has a lot of stuff waiting to be leaked.
Going to be a wild time for a while.

” Does anyone doubt that someone like this would call the enemy daily with updates.”
I’m sure he calls obama daily!!!
Beck is going after the guy, that is going after HIM...
Unfortunately, that guy has the power of the Federal Government behind him, as well as open and unbelievable Democrat Corruption.
IIRC from Glenn's show Monday evening, the cash for clunkers idea came from Jones' book "From Hip Hop to Hybrids"...
That’s right! shheesh....an avowed communist having soooo much influence over what happens in our country is sickening. I’m really interested in seeing where Glenn is headed with all this....I just hope he stays safe and with all the pressure on FOX, regardless of his ratings, they allow his show to continue.
“I would like to know what kind of vetting does this WH require.”
As far as the Czars go, I don’t think anyone other than the “White House” does any vetting. Don’t quote me on this, but I heard a report that said something about Obama only having been able to place 42% so far into positions of those who must be vetted. Perhaps that’s part of the reason why he’s ‘appointing’ so many Czars?
This says it happened last year? We should find out more about who was/is running the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This sure doesn’t sound good but it wasn’t done under the Thug’s watch. It was done under Bush’s. hmmmmmmm......
Thanks for the ping. Glenn’s show was awesome yesterday. God bless him for his bravery.
I believe there are patriots working in the FBI and CIA and they can dig up all that is necessary to bring down this marxist commie Rat usurping as president.
One would hope that after 8 years of Bush, that some patriots are still working at both agencies....but both the CIA and FBI are literally infested with Clinton holdovers, leftists and liberals. I pray you are right, but I have my doubts at this point.
Beck is the embodiment of "git thar the fastest with the mostest" philosophy in beating down a Marxist take over of this nation's infrastructure.
That’s the answer, replace the confirmation process with Czars. This makes these Czars even more suspect.
