Glenn Beck used his popular Fox News show this afternoon to attack the background of Van Jones, a White House environmental advisor who co-founded an African American political advocacy group that organized an advertising boycott of his program.Glenn Beck back from vacation and more energized than ever
During his 2 p.m. PDT show, Beck did not address the boycott spearheaded by Color of Change to protest the talk show host’s remark last month that he believes President Obama is “a racist.”
Instead, he spent a large share of his program suggesting that Jones, who co-founded Color of Change in 2005, is a radical. Jones now serves as a special advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
During a six-minute biographical profile, set to ominous music, Beck said Jones was twice arrested for political protests and has described himself as a "rowdy black nationalist." The talk show host cast the piece as part of a broader examination of Obama's "czars," special advisers to the president who "don't answer to anybody."

Don't look now but Glenn Beck is in a little hot water over his continued foot-in-mouth problems. Still, he'll probably overcome by playing the victim:
ReplyDeleteWhy the boycott against Glenn Beck will almost certainly backfire
Yeah. You go Joe McCarthy!!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like conservative political correctness.
Old School Lib - Joe McCarthy did what he did for his country. Sometimes when you throw the net for a certain type of fish, the tiny feeders also get caught in the net and not because one intended to catch them.
ReplyDeleteAs for "political correctness" that's not in my dictionary and because I do not suffer from PC I am one happy being. To my thinking, "political correctness" is like perpetual constipation - I don't want to suffer from it and I am glad to see that Glenn Beck shows no symptoms either.
Maria:
ReplyDeleteGlenn and co. provide their own unique version of conservative political correctness when they investigate the purity of someone's past. It is just like the idiotic left who think someone needs to be fired because of inappropriate statements decades past that are now deemed racist.
No different.
Also no different in that what Beck and O'Reilly and Hannity and Limbaugh said was unpatriotic and un-American and aiding the enemy only two years ago, is now deemed patriotic and American.
Then, attacking the president during war was the worst thing you could do as an American citizen and it was aiding the enemy because it showed the weakness and division in the US. Now, it is the height of patriotism to try to weaken the president, and who cares what effect division has on the enemy.
Then, calling the president a nazi and hitler for spying on his own citizens, denying civil rights to citizens, arbitrarily jailing thousands of citizens for over a year without any charges, starting an illegal war based on lies, breaking the law regularly was the height of un-American activity, was juvenile, showed how extremist the protesters were, was extremist talk that undermined their own cause and was destroying America. Now, calling the president a nazi and hitler for pushing for healthcare coverage for all Americans is considered brave and courageous, important work, shows their connection to mainstream Main Street America.
Don't get me wrong, I am not writing this as any kind of support for Obama or the anti-Bush whackos. But primarily to show you that Beck and co. are hypocritical idiots and not ones who deserve the gazillions of dollars (their real purpose) and followings they have have.
Am I correct in assuming that you think Joe McCarthy was "a good guy"?
