Beck 1
Zero 0

Beck put me off stylistically. Just a matter of personal taste. But this is a clean kill and Beck did it. How often is a liberal taken down so fast? Took 4 years when one was caught with $100,000 in cash in his freezer. Rangel the tax cheat is still writing the US tax code.

Let's hope Beck shoots down 4 more and becomes an ace.

I’m surprised, but then I;m not. This has continued to build for 2 months and in reality the guy should have been gone a long time ago.

I still believe this has already cost the Administration big time...

What I find interesting is how the Main Stream Media did not cover any of the controversy prior to the resignation. How are they going to explain a high ranking administration official’s sudden departure.

Not to worry. Obama is his own rotting, bleeding albatross.

Someone has to expose all of these communists because the networks, cable and papers sure as hell aren’t going to do it!

Fox News is the ONLY news source that I know who has even mentioned it!

Too bad. He would have been good to hang around The Kenyan's neck in 2010 and 2012.

By the way, somebody at FNC said he would be gone by Monday. Might have been Fred Barnes.

9/11 Truther Van Jones Was Arianna Huffington’s Political Director

Posted on Saturday, September 05, 2009 3:49:10 PM by Sammy67

"Arianna Huffington’s liberal gossip site the Huffington Post has been vigorously defending green jobs czar and 9/11 “truther” Van Jones."

"It turns out that Jones was Huffington’s grassroots political director when she ran for governor in the 2003 recall election. In fact, Jones, a self-described “communist,” thought Huffington was so wonderful he was part of the effort to draft her to run for office."
