Glenn Beck: Don't Congratulate Me for Van Jones' Resignation
Fox ^

Posted on 09/08/2009 7:42:04 PM PDT by Chet 99

In case your only source of news is ABC, CBS, NBC and/or The New York Times or, as the White House was hoping, you were out doing things with your family this long weekend and didn't check the news (which was released after midnight Sunday so it wouldn't be in any papers) the green jobs "czar," special adviser to the president, Van Jones has resigned.

But here's The One Thing: My phone, e-mail and Twitter were hammered all weekend with people offering congratulations. First, let me say I'm not the one to congratulate. I can go on and on about this stuff, but if you don't care and it doesn't connect with the American people, what I say doesn't matter.

So let me start with the good news: You still have power and clout in Washington. In many cases, your representatives in Washington knew nothing about Van Jones. You were educating them and it wasn't until late last week that a few brave political people began to speak out.

Sorry, I congratulate him also. Beck is one of the best I have every seen. I remember the first time I heard him, I didn’t really like it but it grows on you. I am sorry VJ lost his job but he earned these consequences by the view he advocated. I would be for him if he would repent and do a 180 like Norma McCorvey.

I'm not sorry he lost his job, the only thing that could make me happier about the situation is if he would permanently remove himself to some communist eutopia. Cuba should do it.

Ok, no congrats. But Van Jones’ resignation does provide a comic relief that Glenn should appreciate. What Mr. Jones was thinking resigning at midnight Sunday?! That he is Cinderella? His glitzy coach just turned into a pumpkin?!

"By the view he advocated" he should have never gotten the job to begin with. Let's be happy an actively wicked idealogue, puffed up with phony good works and adoration, has been removed from office. Yes, it would be good if he repents-- we'll know it if it happens--but for now shunning is in order.

Beck reacted with the humility he should have and which earns our respect, then he went on to destroy the MSM for it’s VERY OBVIOUS far left bias.

Good job Glenn!!

Van Jones called GOPs an a-hole, but Glenn ripped the MSM a new one of those quite effectively today.

Obama 0
MSM 0

Agreed. If he changes 180 admits his former evil then he is welcome with me and my Church.
