“Smear Campaign” now means signed statements and videotaped evidence.

I thought it was his statement that “white polluters” were poisoning black communities. That was vicious, or at least I thought so. Too inflammatory.

This is fun for a lot of reasons, not least because Chuckie over at LGF is wetting his diaper over it.

Valerie Jarrett is directly involved, IMO .. and she couldn’t contain her glee in describing how delighted “they” were to have “captured” VJ in this video of her glee.

Bonus effect: the other bi-czars will be looking over their shoulders now, hearing Beck’s footsteps and wondering if The Kenyan is preparing a place for them under the bus.

Oh yeah...I think he'll still be boiling mad and I, too, hope, hope it shows!

You know, he carries a grudge to the ninth degree and this will gnaw a hole right thru him.

He takes everything personal and must be totally taken aback by how ANYONE could possibly not let "His Awesomeness" have any damned Czar "he" wants!

God bless Glen Beck and guard him constantly, obama will be out for bear!

Great to see Van Jones out of his position officially.
With Obama, he will have him still doing his dirty work behind the scenes and what is worse, there are tens of dozens of his type still in place in BomaLand.

Enough bickering about who should take credit. Everyone involved should be proud of what has happened, but this is just the beginning, no time for chest-thumping.

I am NOT "chest-thumping"

I LOVE this community. And FR simply does not get enough credit where due. On Mapes/Rather-Gate, on getting the SwiftVets back with evidence, on Sandy Burglar (Kristinn!), etc, etc.

So there!

Do not celebrate. There are still numerous unconstitutional cabinet-level Czars. These people were not vetted and did not pass a Senate confirmation hearing.

Research. Find all you can on John Holdren, Cass Sunstein, Mark Lloyd, etc...

Mr. Jones said he was the victim of a smear campaign.

The following video is Jones comparing George Bush to a crackhead trying to lick the crackpipe for a fix.

Van Jones portraying Bush as a 'crackhead'.

Try that with Obama in the MSM! But, since Van Jones did that to Bush...SILENCE!

AMEN! Friday night on a thread I remarked that we all be thrilled that we now have more “big guns” than just Rush. I also said Rush is probably happy about that as well. Sarah took out the “death panels”, now Glenn has taken out Van Jones. And yes, we FReepers can take a bow, too. Let’s all just acknowledge a job well done and move on to the next victory. Someone else on this thread said it best: It’s a target-rich environment! (And for our friends at flag@whitehouse.gov, ...THAT’S JUST AN ANALOGY!)

Is there anything funnier than a communist getting fired from a government job the day before Labor Day?

Exactly!

Without Fox News and the Internet we would never know anything about what he said! The silence in MSM is deafening!
