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."

A conservative fighting back? Is that allowed?

No, conservatives should be “above the fray”. People who fight back should just go home. Let the insiders handle these matters.....

The flap that ensued did not appear to dampen Beck’s viewership. This month, his show has averaged 2.25 million viewers, 99% more than tuned in during the same period last year, when the network aired “America’s Election HQ” during the time period. And his ratings are up from July, when Beck's program averaged 2.05 million viewers. Fan websites such as Defend Glenn have called for viewers to fight back against the advertising boycott, and some media veterans have denounced the tactic as a suppression of free speech.

Sounds like the left is actually helping Beck become even more popular. He's popular for a reason, folks. They cannot attack his rationale, so they attack him personally. They cannot defend those whom he accuses, as they are guilty; so they attack him.

Keep it up, please. This administration may be able to give the Republicans back control of Congress - whether the Republicans are worthy of that, or not (and I believe they are incapable of managing the responsibility, but at least they will stop the march to socialism).

All the Republcian party has to do is stand up for Conservatism, stop appologizing for being conservative, and govern by conserative values - and they will remain in power indefinitely. But alas, they are too cowardly, have no backbone, and have the intellectual maturity of a 7 yr old girl (no insult intended to the 7 yr old girls reading this).

"No, conservatives should be “above the fray”."

This approach did not work real well for Bush and Co..

and here’s another list with even more czars...frightening!

http://noisyroom.net/blog/2009/07/26/obamas-czar-listing-update-072609/

how in the world are these people assuming roles of power when they are NOT vetted by anyone nor are they checked for security purposes? I feel like I’ve awakened in a parallel universe where it’s the USSA not the USA!

I can’t help but wish we had a George Washington, a Patrick Henry, a Thomas Jefferson RIGHT NOW!!!! God please have mercy on us!

I’m pleased to see that the LATimes acknowledged that the subject has been called an admitted Communist, even though they put the words in quotes and didn’t bother to investigate the allegation. Which, by the way, is true.

Here's another beauty:

On July 28, he called the activist a "self-professed communist" and questioned the role he was playing in the administration.

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

This is the same guy that would show up at college in Black Panther garb.

Well said. He is a very brave man and brilliant. He is taking on the world’s most powerful people and the must be scaring them to their core.
I am worried for his safety and hope other talk show hosts get the word out before the govt shuts down talk radio.
GO GLENN !!!
