Glenn Beck goes after Color of Change co-founder Van Jones
LA Times ^ | 8/24/09 | Matea Gold

Posted on 08/24/2009 3:51:07 PM PDT by maggief

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.

Let's run that through the DeSpinner.

Instead, he spent a large share of his program pointing out that Jones, who co-founded Color of Change in 2005, is a revolutionary communist.

I do not believe Obama is a racists, I know he is. I have heard enough from his own foaming mouth.

The bigger news is that LA Times is watching Beck in real time and writing about his current stuff so quickly.

I would like to know what kind of vetting does this WH require. This guy is an avowed Marxist and an x-con. does the FBI have NO absolutely NO regards for the safety of the American People. How can any agency with Top Secret info even give these people a hint as to what they are fighting. Does anyone doubt that someone like this would call the enemy daily with updates.

Beck said tonight that Jones helped write the stimulus package AND IIRC, said he may have also led the way for cash for clunkers.

I have visions of these communist critters slumming at the White House and it makes me ill.

I doubt the Czars go through any vetting process. Further, Obama, Michelle and/or Rahm know who these people are.

You missed that part of the show today? Glenn Beck confirmed that Obama admin doesn’t use the the FBI to vet. I’m not sure if that is all of his members or just some.

I thought I heard wrong but True Republican Patriot confirmed that’s what I heard.

WTG Beck. The race of affirmative action and victim hood is also the most racist race by far.

Some people like Matea Gold, most likely some kind of racist herself, will just never see Obama for what he really is.

Despite his long time associations with the likes of Rev Wright, Father Pfleger, Frank Marshall Davis, Rashid Khalidi and now Van Jones, people like Matea will play the “can’t see evil, can’t hear evil” game.

Obama is a radical Marxist and racist and if you can’t see that you’re out in left field with a catchers mitt.

As NewsBuster Matthew Vadum reported Wednesday, a race-baiting group named Color Of Change — co-founded by President Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones — has launched a campaign to get companies to stop advertising on Glenn Beck’s television program.

To left wing racist radicals like Matea Gold, Van Jones is just a mainstream good guy living in an evil white man’s world.

” does the FBI have absolutely NO regards for the safety of the American People.”

Betting on that would be a crap shoot. I’d guess half the FBI would qualify for membership in the communist or fascist party. It’s not your daddy’s FBI.
