Van Jones Resigns : Glenn Beck still has some political stroke-Man Down! (POLL-VIDEO)


Van Jones victim of Glenn Beck hit list

Van Jones resigns from post under pressure from right wing advocates . Van Jones was the White House special assistant for "green jobs" that use to be director of   "color of change" . Several weeks ago "color of change " went after Glenn Beck . They led a boycott against the Glenn Beck show that was very successful

The White House chose to distance themselves from Van Jones after the Glenn Beck show put out a media blitz exposing some questionable political views  Van Jones publicly acknowledged . 

I ran a poll yesterday on whether Glenn Beck still had the political stroke to push Van Jones out the door?

Looks like the numbers where right on , most thought Beck still had the magic touch that the big talk show personalities must have , knowing what buttons to push to effect change . It seems like Glenn Beck's sobering advertising loses  in recent weeks have forced him to sharpen up his tool box . 

Congratulations to the Glenn Beck circus and  all its various performers , if anything can be said of Glenn Beck it's that in recent weeks he has given citizens a first hand account of just how powerful the media can be in the hands of a seasoned veteran . No , Van Jones was not a big fish , but little fish add up . I would also like to congratulate Color of Change for having the guts to be proactive , this whole deal hopefully is  over now . 

Van Jones Resignation Letter

 

"I am resigning my post at the Council on Environmental Quality, effective today.

On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.

I have been inundated with calls - from across the political spectrum - urging me to "stay and fight."

But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.

It has been a great honor to serve my country and my President in this capacity. I thank everyone who has offered support and encouragement. I am proud to have been able to make a contribution to the clean energy future. I will continue to do so, in the months and years ahead."

Van Jones was not a career politician so unfortunately for him  his past was never swept clean

    This is a huge Victory for Libertarians, not necessarily Conservatives as the media is spinning it. Glenn Beck is a self-described LIBERTARIAN! Last thing the Far Left media wants is to legitimize libertarians, thereby letting others know that there are folks out there, even more limited government than conservatives. Thus they ignore the label libertarian.

    How is showing video and documents in someone`s own words a "smear campaign?" The only person who brought down Van Jones is in fact Van Jones! It`s always about being a poor little victim with racist like Jones. Bet he wishes he`d stayed far,far away from Glenn Beck!The bigger question is when will the MSM pull their noses out of Obama`s rear end and start telling us the truth about this Commie,white hating garbage that calls himself our president?

    Not since Joe McCarthy shuffled off this mortal coil in 1957 has anyone made a career by accusing people of being communists. Glenn Beck has resurrected the practice. Not only has he found a cabal of secret communists, he has uncovered an entire communist corporation chock full of commies. The name of this company, you may ask?

    THE NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY!

    You heard me right, boys and girls. The network that gave us Uncle Miltie and Ma Perkins has apparently been secretly sending subliminal messages endorsing Marxist doctrine since it was formed in 1926. This would make perfect sense to me. Every time I watched the Rockford Files I had an unexplainable desire to read Das Kapital.

    But seriously, folks. Twenty years after the fall of the Soviet Union, red baiting not only seems silly, it’s also kind of nuts. It’s not-at-all surprising that an organization would give this idiot a forum (after all, he’s on FOX Noise). What’s really stunning is the fact that his ratings are r

    After the Jones controversy reached a boiling point on Friday, the Washington Post published a story, "White House Says Little on Embattled Jones," on page A-3 of its Saturday edition. But the New York Times remained silent on the story.

    Likewise, on Friday night the "CBS Evening News" reported the Jones matter, but ABC's "World News" and "NBC Nightly News" again failed to report the story.

    9-6-2009 UPDATE.

    All STATE RUN MEDIA mentioned the resignation of Green Job Czar Van Jones this morning. The story line form the Head Office of the White House was Van Jones was lynched by the right wing and talk radio and Glenn Beck and FOX NEWS.
    Well yes, because the STATE RUN MEDIA did not mention it for weeks.

    This is the control of the message they want. It is the right wing's fault.
    Howierd Dean said this morning that Van Jones was a great American and will be missed at the WH.

    Van Jones smeared himself, and took himself out of a job. Right-wingers just did the job that the Main Stream media will not do in exposing Van Jones.

    Funny how the MSM called Sarah Palin a quitter, and never said that she was smeared. The same MSM will not say that Van Jones was a quitter. But they will say that mean right-wingers smeared him and ran him out of a job.

    The MSM: biased to the core.

    They did not report from the beginning that he called himself a communist. They did not report it when he said that white polluters steered poison into minority communities. The MSM barely reported that he signed that 9/11Truth.org document. They did not report the Columbine comments, which sounded like profiling on Van Jones part. And they did not cover that Mumia Abu Jamal cd that a link is provide to here.

    The MSM: In the tank for Obama.

    This administration seems to be filled with tax cheats and thugs. Kudos to Glen Beck for telling it like it is. Jones isn't really apologizing. He thinks he's being smeared. He's correct. He's being smeared by his own words. Congress needs to investigate all the czars. None have been vetted; there might be lots more of this ilk. The health care fiasco has finally given the public a voice, and I hope they use it to continue fighting the wrongs that seem to be coming our way. Next, we need to concentrate on illegal immigration. This tragedy affects health care and all other facets of our lives. We cannot aford illegal aliens any longer. They need to go. We have eight visas that allow seasonal workers. Those who have dishonored our laws should never be allowed to become citizens. They don't know the meaning of the word. We would see our economy improve, crime lessen and our country would once again belong to us. We cannot afford to wait any longer

    The Truth, is the kind of person that is bugged when racists who are "people of color",(white is a color)get caught in their racism, but he isn't bugged when whites get caught. Whites=bad, "minorities"= good, in his way of thinking. Thus, the lunacy of his comments on Glenn Beck. He thinks modern day law enforcement is so stupid, that a basically regular guy like Glenn Beck has gotten away with something.
