Obama transition chief and head of the leftist Center for American Progress, John Podesta, laid in to Glenn Beck tonight with a spirited but after the fact defense of former Obama administration official Van Jones that was posted tonight at Think Progress:
Van Jones is an exceptional and inspired leader who has fought to bring economic and environmental justice to communities across our country.
He has chosen to resign because he believed he was serving as a distraction to the presidents agenda. I respect that decision.
Van was working to build a common ground agenda for all Americans, and I am confident he will continue that work. Unfortunately, his critics on the right could find no common ground with him.
Clearly, Van was the subject of a right-wing smear campaign shrouded in hypocrisy. Vans chief tormentor Glenn Beck, who spent weeks engaged in vicious name-calling, retains his perch at Fox News after calling the president a racist who has a deep-seated hatred for white people. Van has set a standard that Beck would never impose upon himself.
I look forward to working with Van to move our country towards a clean energy economy that empowers and lifts up all Americans.
Van Jones is a race-baiting, America-hating, cop-hating, terrorist-sympathizing, expert at living off the public teat. In other words he's a perfect Democrat. No wonder Podesta loves this guy and looks forward to working with him (again).
STFU Podesta! Or we'll take away your bike and tie your hands behind your back so you can't spank your monkey in dark theaters anymore you disgusting perv.
Sure hope Glenn’s tax records are in order.
But imagine him starting his TV show with, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m being AUDITED! IRS agents are in my office right now and I’m going to introduce them one by one, uh, sir, please state your name and IRS badge number for the folks out there in TV land, and what are your marching orders concerning my personal income tax files?”
The Left cannot stand that one of their own has been taken out using their own playbook. They will cannonize Van Jones—they will transform him into the new Che.
Mr. Red Commie speaks.
No playbook here - facts were presented and they were detrimental to Mr. Jones. The left just cannot stand reality.
Can I add a few?
He's a dirt-eating, snake-licking, skunk-milking bag of 'possum spunk.
But I hear he's a really smart feller......
Truth : Liberals :: Kryptonite : Superman
Obama Advisor John Podesta Rips Glenn Beck as “Van’s chief tormentor’
Yeah, sure, Glenn Beck lied and Van Jones cried. Right.
That chart needs to be overlaid with the US population.
The US population has increased immensely and evening news viewship dropped off a cliff.
Matthew 12: 37 “...by thy words thou shalt be condemned”
Bye bye Anthony “Van” Jones
Glenn just played your own words back.
Jones has no one to blame but himself. He took heat for things he actually said and did, not for what people thought he said and did. People merely pointed out the truth about him.
Time to SMEAR the others and get them out... Let’s Rollll....!
Call it what it is: establishing a "fifth column" in the White House.
Van thought he could do that by endorsing a boycott of Becks sponsors.
Oooops! Van did not count on Beck being a genuine patriot, rather than a materialist dedicated only to the purse string. ALAS. That was poor Van's BIG MISTAKE. And Van made it because he sees the world through the restricted eyes of a materialist, a Marxist, where men exist only for material purposes as their prime motivation ( AKA the falsehood of Marxism).
Beck has revealed to America, the weaknesses of the Obama thugs who seek to impose their Utopian rule on America, their blindness, there not understanding the basics of why we love our nation.It is the handle of their undoing, and we shall crank it with reckless abandon! We do not want their Utopia, we want and shall keep our freedom! FREEDOM!!!!!
And Podesta should cringe. There are at least 60 million more like Beck, many of these right here on FR.We will tell the truth, even if Obama has most of the media corked, and especially if the TRUTH is not "politically correct".
OOOOOOH Poor Widdle Whining Podesta!!!!!!!Doncha love hearing liberal whining in the morning. MUSIC TO MY EARS!
I hope Obama tries the SAME with Rush Limbaugh. The result would be so extremely positive for the Republic.
It is the beginning of Podesta's fall too.
I knew him in the Senate as a staffer and although he was/is brilliant he had a flaw. He lacks self-discipline; a very bad trait in mortal partisan politics.
John Podesta will be his own worst enemy. Keep the pressure on.
Yay Glenn!!!!
We’re their worst nightmare, conservatives who have found joy in protesting a government gone bad.
The truth hurts those who have something to hide...in this case from the American people.
He, you, Obama, and others thought you could just slide on in with all of this marxism, communism, racicalism, and ant-Americansm...but you're wrong.
Here's the nasty little truth, John, and we're going to expose the whole day long and through the night...
Van Jones = Frank Davis = Bill Ayers = Bernardine Dohrn = Jeremiah Wright = Tony Rezko = Rashid Khalidi = Raila Ordinga = Carol Browner = Rahm Emanuel = Henry Gates = John Holdren = Rosa Brooks = Eric Holder = Ezekiel Emanuel = BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
This is who the man is. A cauldron of corruption, greed, marxism and communism...who is detroying the free market and fundamental republican principle as we speak in his bid for "fundamental change" and to replace it all with a marxist command economy built on the ashes.
