I don't watch the other networks since I found out they were all commies..They have to be they do not want the American people to know anything that is going on with this filthy bunch in Washington..

We should send what we have on this communist scum to everyone on our mailing list so even if the other don't report him as what he is lots will know besides There are lots of people that has seen the Glenn Beck show and know what the scum is..

We have hundreds of millions of firearms and tens of billions of rounds, what ever do we have to be frightened of? No army or combination of armies in the world would dare take us on. Here’s a quote from the 1940’s: “You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass.” ~Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander, Imperial Japanese Navy.

What’s the name of the one in the FCC, the one that wants to make our radios more of a local community system so he can weed out talk radio? That’s one I want to see go.

See... NBC in Philly is covering it.

He is resigning after "Republican attacks." No mention of the substance of the attacks. http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/politics/NATL-Obama-Aide-Van-Jones-Resigns-After-GOP-Attacks-57578192.html

They did it in the middle of the night after the Sunday newspapers went to press.

Trying to hide what’s happening.

But its a new media world out there.

Late Saturday night in the middle of a three day weekend.

Who woulda thunk he’d do it to minimize news coverage? /s
