The communications director for the National Endowment for the Arts is no longer in his job amid a flap over suggestions he suggested artists work to further President Obama's legislative agenda.
A conservative artist writing on the site Big Hollywood first complained that the official, later identified as Yosi Sargent, had been on a conference call with artists aimed at furthering President Obama's legislative agenda -- a bit of a no-no for the agency, which does its best to stay apolitical.

Huffington Post's Ryan Grim reported that Sergant had been "asked to resign," and played it as another scalp -- like Van Jones' -- for Glenn Beck.

Ping!
Ping!
Even more interesting. I did a little checking. NEA jobs are civil service, and he was the “director of communications.” How did he go from pr flack on the West Coast, peddling posters of BO, to downtown DC in such a short time, and end up with a GS 15 or so job at the NEA?
Riiiiggghhhhtttt.
I don’t know why I didn’t ping all of you at once.
The headline at Politico is “NEA in politics flap.” I thought you have to keep the original headline.
This is NOT Glenn’s War, or battle...
This is a War for Freedom. If Freedom dies here in America, it will be forever stripped from the earth.
Even Beck will tell you that if you count these things as personal wins for him, then you don’t get it....
I admire your enthusiasm, and share it...but we have to stay focused on the real issue... it is not about attacking Obama- it is about saving our Republic....Obama is just the latest puppet on front stage— but the corruption and evil runs deep and has for at least 3 if not 4 decades.
Glenn has the resources to get this info out, and the support of many of us to hold his standing in media. Glenn is much like our Founding Fathers in the way that he is fearless of what consequences may come his way- but he is wholly dedicated to the cause of Freedom, and he wants our focus and our commitment to be the same.
If there is anyway to honor Glenn’s courage, and his integrity- it is to join him in boldness.
We may have woken up, some of us have even bothered to get off the couch....But the real work we haven’t even begun to do. It will take more than Tea Parties, even though they are the key to unity and voice- but individual work is still needed.
btw— I hear this guy didn’t resign at all- he was just moved to a diff position, and as I understand it, he did his dirty deed at the behest of the First Lady....
Is that the BIG news Beck said he'd tell everyone about yesterday? The one that would knock healthcare off the news?
If it is......I sure don't see it as such.

The list, ping
Very good post. Truth.
you do. and he should know that.
Thanks for the heads up Kim...
I would like to know the identity of his White House contact. Dare I say his White House “director?”
The resignation is routine PR eyewash. One of their operatives just got caught doing what they do all the time. Breitbart actually tipped Beck to this. The only way to stop NEA from being politically subversive is to abolish it.
thanks, Rush....
had to get it off my chest..
