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?

So, crazyman, how do you feel about the Bush Admin's murder of 100,000+
Iraqis?

Oh, wait...that was *different*

Right, crazyman?

Van Jones crazy beliefs were well known to everybody who knew him.
The FBI had a file on him. The Obama admin tries to say his was a
case of botched vetting which raises the question: Was it
incompetence or did they know they had hired someone who supported
mass murder and was prone to conspiracy theories so wild they made
flying suacer nuts seem sane. Based on the evidence, it seems to be
both, incompetence flavored with extreme leftism.

I dont get the lefty obsession with this Glenn Beck (btw, where can I
hear him so I will know what he says since no lefty can tell me). The
removal of Van Jones was not the work of one person but of many who
blogged about him. I believe the lefties are obsessed with Beck and
Limbaugh due to lefty admiration of authority figures so they think
anything effective must be the result of one BIG MAN. An example of
this is in Oliver Stones admiration for Chavez. Stone is the ultimate
lefty conspiracy theorist. Real cause and effect is too complicated
for leftists so they invent conspiracies to explain reality in simpler
terms. This is a lot like the role of religion in the lives of
primitive peoples who had no grasp of science. Thus, lefties are
really the modern day version of the religious types who blamed
droughts on "the gods being unhappy".

From the Limbaugh School of Attribution, Illogic and Wingnuttery.

Are you sure you want to go there? This country, Ronald Reagan in
particular, supported Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge.

This country has supported all manner of oppressive regimes, including
those in the Soviet Union, the Peoples' Republic of China, Iran, Iraq,
Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Panama, Chile, et cetera.

Further, nothing Jones ever did competes on the scale of horror with the
deeds of Dick Cheney.
