Thank you, Glenn Beck. By helping force the resignation of Van Jones,
you have done a great service to your country. But in the exact
opposite way than what you intended.

Your vile and vicious smear campaign has helped reverse one of the
worst examples of miscasting since John Wayne took on the role of
Genghis Khan in The Conqueror.

Don't get me wrong: Van Jones was the best person for the job he just
gave up. But the job was not the best use of Van Jones.

Contrary to the media caricature, the real Van Jones is a thoughtful
leader who knows how to use words to move people to action. To stick
him behind a desk, working out the details of tax credits for green
jobs -- incredibly important though the job is -- was never the best
use of his unique and abundant skills.

This is not an attempt to put a positive spin on an ugly episode. I've
actually been feeling this way ever since Van told me he was taking
this job.

I remember going to the White House this spring for a briefing of
journalists by David Axelrod. Before the meeting, Van and I met for a
quick coffee and I was hit with the same overwhelming thought: how
much we were going to miss his voice on the outside.

Now, thanks to Glenn Beck, we've got that voice back. No longer tied
to his desk with a sock in his mouth, Van is now freed to do what he
does best: inspire and energize groups around the country. Student
groups and labor groups and small business groups and middle class
Americans everywhere who are losing jobs and losing homes and losing
hope. He's free to push with all his might and insight for the vision
tens of millions of Americans tirelessly worked for during the
presidential campaign -- the vision they voted for in November -- but
which is now in danger of being drowned in the fetid political swamps
of Washington.

If Glenn Beck had any sense at all, he would have done everything in
his power to keep Van Jones right where he was.

But he didn't. And for this we should all be grateful.

Van Jones is a self described Marxist and Communist, thus he looks
favorably on a philosophy that intentionally murdered 100 million
people. Thinking Van Jones is a good person is like thinking that
someone who supported the Khmer Rough was a good person. Only a
leftist could think a supporter of mass murder was good.
jps who has advocated shooting tax protestors now thinks a supporter
of mass murder is a good person, surprise surprise. jps at least has
the decency of saying what he thinks unlike most lefties. When you
consider that the left wants to kill its opponents and favors people
who favor mass murder, is it any surprise they normally are for
censorship of ideas they disagree with?
