“That sound that you hear all across the country is the sound of Democrats exhaling,” he said. “That’s what that is. People would have accepted anything. We just wanted Joe to get out there. So, you know, sometimes when he gets up there you’re afraid he’s going to make a mistake, he’s going to have a gaffe, the expectation is just so low. And then he came out there, and he gave an extraordinary speech.”
How can you explain Van Jones’ public admission that environmentalists just make all this crap up?
The left says Republicans are the ones who live in the past. Yet they seem to be blithely unaware of developments like cell phone video cameras and YouTube.
How else can you explain Van Jones’ public admission that environmentalists just make all this crap up?
OK, well, there is one other possibility: Van Jones is the second dumbest man alive. (Don’t worry, Van, as long as Joe Biden is still with us you’ll never be the dumbest man alive.)
For generations, the New York Times motto was “All the news that’s fit to print.” Things have changed. The Times official ombudsman commented on the paper’s cluelessness on the ACORN scandal and other recent stories.
The New York Times has a new motto and a new mascot
For generations, the New York Times motto was “All the news that’s fit to print.” Things have changed.
The Times official ombudsman waddled in over the weekend (when most people don’t pay much attention to news) to comment on the paper’s cluelessness on the ACORN scandal and other recent stories thoroughly covered by Fox News and talk radio, but ignored the The Gray Lady.
In a mea culpa entitled, “Tuning In Too Late,” Times Public Editor Clark Hoyt admits, “The Times stood still.” What he should’ve said was that the paper stood still in its best ostrich imitation. Either that or its head was stuck deep where the sun never shines. And it wasn’t the first time.
FCC Chief Diversity Officer Mark Lloyd: “White people” should be forced to “step down…so someone else can have power.” His opinions on the First Amendment, race, power and the American system make Van Jones’ opinions seem positively mainstream.
That’s a quote from Mark Lloyd, the Federal Communications Commission’s new Chief Diversity Officer. His opinions on the First Amendment, race, power and the American system make Van Jones’ opinions seem positively mainstream.
“It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.
“…the purpose of free speech is warped to protect global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance.”
Of course, Lloyd loves Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez’ “incredible … democratic revolution.” He also admires the way “Chavez began to take very seriously the media in his country.” Translation: Chavez closed down any media outlets that deigned to oppose him.
What’s baffling is that any president ever appointed anyone with these fringe, extreme leftist beliefs to any position in the American government.
Of course, we’ve never had a President like Barack Obama before.
It’s been a good week for Glenn Beck. A very good week. First Van Jones “resigned” as Green Jobs Czar. Then Yosi Sergant was “reassigned” at the National Endowment for the Arts when down. Now the Census Bureau has fired ACORN.

Charles Krauthammer compared ousted racist/communist/Truther Van Jones to racist/Jew-hating/black nationalist Jeremiah Wright Sunday on Fox News. He laid the blame for the whole fiasco right at the feet of the boss.
Charles Krauthammer compared ousted racist/communist/Truther Van Jones to racist/Jew-hating/black nationalist Jeremiah Wright Sunday on Fox News.
He laid the blame for the whole fiasco right at the feet of the boss. And he wasn’t referring to Bruce Springsteen.
“It’s a reflection of the boss,” Krauthammer said. “The boss also had a history before he became a candidate of being around and friends with the likes of Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers. The liberals scolded us last year on how irrelevant all that is and how it’s a smear campaign against Obama. But, if you live in that environment and you find nothing inherently wrong with that kind of radicalism. Then a Van Jones will show up. You’ll watch him years and years and you’ll think this guy is perfectly mainstream.”
Just one question: If this guy’s the boss, where do we hand in our resignations?
Broadcast legend Tom Brokaw and dead tree legend Thomas Friedman were nearly apoplectic over the fact that conservative bloggers –- bloggers, mind you — were able to bring down a race-baiting, white-hating, 9/11 Truther communist.
Meet the Press, never known as a hotbed of humor, had hilarity by the truckload on Sunday.
Broadcast legend Tom Brokaw and dead tree legend Thomas Friedman were nearly apoplectic over the fact that conservative bloggers –- bloggers, mind you — were able to bring down a race-baiting, white-hating, 9/11 Truther communist in the White House. They couldn’t contain their disgust.
Some of the better moments:
Friedman: When everyone has a cell phone, everyone’s a photographer. When everyone has access to YouTube, everyone’s a filmmaker. And when everyone’s a blogger, everyone’s a newspaper…
Brokaw: …There’s so much disinformation out there that it’s frightening, frankly.
Friedman: The internet is an open sewer of untreated, unfiltered information … every modem sold in America should actually have come with a warning from the surgeon general that would have said, “Judgment not included.”
Friedman: Too often now people say, and we’ve all heard it, “But I read it on the internet” as if that solves the bar bet. You know, I’m afraid not. (rising in intensity with each repetition) That’s flat out stupid. That’s flat out stupid. Flat out stupid.
Amazing. The same guys who gleefully reported on forged documents about former President Bush completely ignored authentic documents and tapes about Van Jones. Yet they’re so full of themselves that they see fit to lecture America about accurate, ethical reporting.
Of course, that’s just our perspective from down here in the open sewer.
“Why is he saying those terrible things?” is the easy part. Left wing lunatics just don’t like you, Glenn. The tougher question is, “Who the hell is Beau Friedlander?”

Turns out Beau (apparently his real name) is the editor-in-chief of Air America. We were shocked when he wrote an article in the Huffington Post demanding that Fox News fire Glenn Beck.
Don’t get us wrong. We weren’t shocked that he wrote the article. No. We were shocked to find out that Air America is still in operation.
It seems that Beau was hired by Air America to bring their internet-based reporting up to the level of a really bad Jerry Springer episode. Beau, to his credit is trying, first demanding that everyone forego Fox News or be branded un-American. Then, saving his liberal funniest for last, remarking that Van Jones is no more communist than (wait for it)…Glenn Beck.
That got us scrambling (in vain, it seems) for Glenn Beck’s admission of being a communist. Maybe Beau can get a copy of Glenn Beck’s confession from Dan Rather or better yet, maybe Air America can hire Dan and they can work together on stories.
To study Beau at work, and to see the sophisticated methods that Air America utilizes to determine which stories are the most timely and important, watch the embedded video.

And to paraphrase Casey Kasem one more time, “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars, Van.”
Van Jones, President Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar,” an admitted black nationalist and radical communist, on 09/12/01, led a vigil in Oakland, California to express solidarity with Arab and Muslim Americans.
Don't let the warm smile fool you. This man wants to destroy your way of life.
Van Jones, President Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar,” an admitted black nationalist and radical communist, is either crazy or dangerous. Maybe both.
On 9/12/01, he led a vigil in Oakland, California to express solidarity with Arab and Muslim Americans as well as what he called the victims of “U.S. imperialism” around the world. It was spearheaded by Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), a Communist revolutionary group founded and lead by Jones.
Get this:
“Reclaiming Revolution,” STORM’s official manifesto, proudly states that the purpose of the vigil was to express solidarity with Arab and Muslim Americans and to mourn the civilians killed in the terrorist attacks.
They should have stopped there, but went on to say, “as well as the victims of U.S. imperialism around the world.”
“We honored those who lost their lives in the attack,” the manifesto said, “and those who would surely lose their lives in subsequent U.S. attacks overseas.”
Equally. The victims of 9/11, the “victims” of American imperialism, and victims of American attacks that had not yet happened. So STORM was not only Communist, but clairvoyant. Their logo should be a hammer and a sickle and a crystal ball.
There is nothing green about Jones, the green movement is simply a convenient vehicle for his, and Barack Obama’s, social justice (aka marxism) movement. But hold on–aren’t republicans part of the social fabric of this country. If so, where is the social justice in him calling Republicans assholes?
By now you’ve all heard of about the self-described communist, Green Czar Van Jones. You know him, the Berkeley radical who is going to save the earth and transform America at the same time by “moving formerly incarcerated people from jail cells to solar cells—helping to harvest the sun, heal the land, and repair our souls.”
It’s all bull. There is nothing green about Jones. The green movement is simply a convenient vehicle for his, and Barack Obama’s, social justice (aka Marxism) movement. But hold on–aren’t Republicans part of the social fabric of this country. If so, where is the social justice in him calling Republicans assholes?
The bigger question to us is, where are Republican leaders on the subject of Van Jones? Are we really at the tipping point in America where we don’t scream about the president picking a Marxist as a key advisor to cripple the economy?
Until now the media has paid almost no attention to Van Jones, President Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar.” Now the big guns of Glenn Beck are trained squarely on the only member of the Obama administration willing to admit he’s a communist.

Sure, we ran the story Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” is admitted communist about Jones last month, but we’re small potatoes. Maybe even small potato. But now the big guns of Glenn Beck are trained squarely on the only member of the Obama administration willing to admit he’s a communist.
One would think it newsworthy if the President of the United States Barack Obama appointed Van Jones, an admitted communist, to a key position as Green Jobs Czar in his administration. Wouldn’t one?
Is Van Jones is a watermelon: green on the outside, red on the inside
One would think it newsworthy if the President of the United States appointed an admitted communist to a key position in his administration. Wouldn’t one?
Then how can it be explained that the media has given virtually no attention to the political beliefs of Van Jones, the man President Obama has named “Green Jobs Czar”?
Jones is William Ayers without the bombs. He’s the ultimate watermelon: green on the outside, red on the inside.
Here’s how the East Bay Express described the Van Jones’ background:
[Van] Jones had planned to move to Washington, DC, and had already landed a job and an apartment there. But in jail, he said, “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.'” Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.” In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.”
And Van Jones is a member in good standing of the Obama administration, one of “czars” appointed by Obama who reports only to Obama and who, therefore, never had to withstand the rigors of a senate confirmation process.
Network television news? Hello? Hello? Hello? Anybody out there?
It’s been a good week for Glenn Beck. A very good week.
