UPDATED: Glenn Beck goes after Color of Change co-founder Van Jones
LA Times ^ | 08/24/09 | Matea Gold

Posted on 08/25/2009 5:54:40 AM PDT by STONEWALLS

"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."

I agree that he probably is a target.

Remember, that crowd comes from Chicago and anything can be bought for cash in Chicago.

He admits to being a recovered alcoholic. An accidental fall from a high rise after “falling off the wagon”?

A Marilyn Monroe accident?

I hope he has security he can trust.

Beck didn't "call" Jones anything. Jones proudly called himself a full-blown communist in his own book.

Seriously. So many individuals with a lack of curiosity that go into journalism today.

Here's a thought...you're writing an article about Glenn Beck, in which he calls Van Jones a self-professed Communist. So maybe might be a good idea to get a hold of Van Jones's book and see if he did indeed admit to that.

"I can't do that..then I might be taking sides!" /sarc

Glenn was just asked several questions. The question were does he sleep at night, does he fear for his life, and is he sure what he is doing. Glenn answered them without ego and with honesty. Glenn is on a mission from God. He is today’s man on the watch tower.

You know, for years the United States has had as it’s enemies the communist states, i.e. USSR, Cuba. Now, the White House has hired Communists like Van Jones to advise the President. I’m wondering where are all of our military leaders, who swore to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic? And how can a communist work in an American administration? Folks, this is war, and if we don’t take action soon, all will be lost. America will be lost. Wake up people!

Beck is the only media person exposing, detail by detail, this administration’s dark agenda: acquisition of power and money, while undermining America to the point of collapse. God bless him, because the MSM willingly buries anything negative about Obama et. al. so that the majority remains blind.

“Glenn Beck may be our Patrick Henry”.

You may be right but I'm afraid Obama and his minions are much worse enemies than King George was. You hope these people are like cockroaches and will run when you shine a light on them. The rest of the MSM media is deliberately keeping U.S. citizens in the dark about their methods and goals. I actually am worried for poor Glenn Beck since he is the only one trying to illuminate what they are doing. With so little light the cockroaches can be dangerous.

Yaas, we don’t need loose cannons like Galen Beck degrading the debate. Perhaps he could just leave the room.

We must destroy the communists or they will destroy us. The government has declared war on the people. Let us not forget CAP AND TRADE passed the House with none of the voting legislators having read it as 300 pages were added in the night. Cap & Trade will KILL US DEADER than Health Care.

Unfortunately, it isn’t illegal to be a communist. It IS illegal to be an usurper though.

Van Jones is a Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson & Michelle Obamah all rolled into one.
