Posted by: robert at September 6, 2009 3:16 AMMaybe I'm being a bit of a stickler here, but I think, even for the most transparent political purposes, that maybe Obama should have fired the guy since he hired him?
Tried to post this info earlier, but because the headline had profanity, it would not pass the filters. Glenn Beck DVR is renamed some nasty sh!t for calbevision viewers. What is up with that. if it was conservatives trying to do this there would be a major outcry. Lefties bug the shit out of me. They just insult, but have no real argumentss to uphold their position. Did you know that all references to the first lesson plans for the Obama speech to schools have been scrubed from the internet. If you try to acess a site that has the original plans you are met with a warning of a virus and not allowed to enter the site. Google an yahoo as well as all the web site search engines do the same. I thought it ficken wierd that when I hit on sites that had the original lesson plans I was advised by google that this was an unsafe site and contained a virus even though my virus checker confirmed otherwise. This occured no less than 23 times. Even though the doc site had the original lesson plans they changed it after 12:00 noon today and replaced thier doc with the new lesson plan The original lesson plans have been effectively scrubbed from the net. WTF is up with that.

Posted by: pherzen at September 6, 2009 5:43 AMHmmm. I did not realize anyone else was posting under 2cents. I have been posting on this blog for at least 18 months. The reason I switched from posing as No-One to 2cents is someone else was posting under that name (no-one). I had no idea their had been previous comments from a 2cents during my 18 months of reading this blog. Sorry to say I do not remember your posts. Oh well...will post as my second name on2u. I have been alternating between cents and on2u - from No-One who would have thought this would be an issue ... MEH.. will post as on2u - like that handle better anyway. I am interested in your previous posts and look forward to your future posts as 2cents.
In all honesty I can say I have never seen anyone post as 2cents previous to August. If anyone can verify this please do. Please post the comments that 2cents made b4 September or August 2009. Thank you.
Kate...was their a 2cents b4 this September? I whole heartedly apologize if I inadvetantly used a nic that had been used b4. I want to be known for my own opinions not to be confused with someone else.
Wow, if you read the NYT, the WP or the LAT this would have been right out of left field. Who knew?
(Well anyone who was paying attention but let's forget those people.)
Posted by: Jay Currie at September 6, 2009 6:08 AMKate - I am hoping you can check your IP's and realize this is not the same person as me. I have been posting on your site for some time as No-One. 2cents claims seem rather odd to me. "
"I am worried about Glenn Beck. he will undoubtedly pay a price for his exposure." Do not recall posting this, bbut I did think it. I am also wondering why SDA is previewing my comments. Previously I posted under another name, but someone else was also posting under this name so I changed my nic. Now I get a "previewing your comment box" which I never got b4.

However, I am understand SDA's caution seeing there are some legal issues involved." I do not recall posting this, but perhaps I was not paying attention.
I do not recall posting this. Also, I have not been drunk lately, SDA I am wondering what is up.
Perhaps this is a ploy to get you to register persons like other sites.
Personally I do not really care, nor should others if someone uses the same Nick. Especially when they are rather generic like the one I posted under. What does bother me is complaints. It is not like someone owns the name. I have changed my Nick twice since finding out others used the same one. Personally, I like the fact that you can post on this site without registering. I hope you do not change that Kate, Please let me know - you have my email - if I have stepped on any toes and I will gladly change my Nick to avoid confusion.

We have proven conclusively that the Big Media is irrelevant, that they're biased, etc. After all, if it had been a Republican czar who had been found to be a racist, a conspiracy theorist and overall total wackjob... No doubt we'd have heard of it all all the time. Couldn't turn on the TV without NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc... screaming about it. Couldn't walk by a newsstand without seeing big front-page headlines about the guy.

Posted by: maz2 at September 6, 2009 8:18 AM
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 relatively high and that so many Americans take his word as gospel.
All kidding aside, half-witted ideologues are a dime a dozen. What separates Glenn Beck from his peers is the fact that he is doing some serious damage to the country he professes to love so much. For all of the comparisons to the Nazis he likes to make with regard to Liberals, Beck's program has much in common with Adolf Hitler's 1923 screed, Mein Kampf. Eighty-six years ago, Hitler attempted to arouse the anger of his fellow Germans by spouting half truths and utter nonsense - exactly what Glenn Beck is doing in 2009. So much of the insane dialogue that has been spewed forth at these Town Hall meetings across the country in recent weeks might have been lifted straight from a transcript of any of Beck's programs.
Beck and his twisted ilk have done the seemingly impossible. They have deflected the blame for America's current economic distress toward Barack Obama. An incredible feat when you take into consideration the fact that the President is one of the few people in government today whose guilt in the matter is almost nil. They have also let loose with a vengeance the very worst angels of the American nature. Opening this Pandora's box was relatively easy. Closing it might prove to be a bit of a problem.
Deep in their hearts
They do believe
That they shall undermine someday....

I checked out the Tom Degan blog so others don't have to. Don't bother...typical leftie. They state someone is wrong and think that that is conclusive proof of their "wrongness".
No facts. No responding-directly-to-allegations-by-using-facts...just denouncements without substance.
Posted by: Eeyore at September 6, 2009 8:53 AMTwo thumbs up for Glenn Beck! When I first read this story a couple of days ago, I was shaking my head. What is going on in the states? Now, they even hate our hockey teams? Glenn has uncovered some very important stories even before the big O took office. I think we should take a page from his book and start paying very close attention to what Acorn is doing in Canada, with Iggy Pop and his gang of thieves threatening us with yet another federal election. Acorn is what helped get O in the office, will they be doing the same thing with Iggy? Makes one go hmmmmmm

Acorns don't fall far from the tree; these guys are incredible!
The vetting process was not done with any effort ,or it was incompetently done, or it was done very consciously with a definite purpose.
Any one of these three is hard to believe but there seems to be no other explanation than incredible sloth, unbelievable incompetence, or near malevolent design. Or a percentage mix of all three. Poll anyone?
I wrote about the Czars a couple ofdays ago. They are an excutive that can operate outside the scrutiny of congress. But they cannot operate outside the scrutiny ofthe media - if it chooses to look. The new format of TV 'news / op-ed that beck and oreilly and (sort of) olberman are can really do damage to the Czar system as beck has clearly done.
Czars may actually be unconstitutional with this scandal and possibly others to follow we could see a challenge coming sooner than later. Roosevelt had his comeuppance whe n he tried to stack the supreme court perhaps BO will have his over this attempt to create an excutive outside the law.
Today may be a very important milestone in American history...
Posted by: Gord Tulk at September 6, 2009 9:15 AMMy hat's off to Glenn Beck but it was WORLD NET DAILY WHO WERE THE FIRST TO EXPOSE VAN JONES. Google: World Net Daily. They are proclaiming it this AM.
Many like Beck and Limbaugh are daily readers of this small but very effective independent news web site.
CNN this AM:
Van Jones resigns for controversial remarks and being an 9/11 truther...Beck was behind it/Van Jones had ask for Beck's firing earlier because Glenn said Obama is a racist = Revenge from Beck...Republican senator had said a while back that Jones seemed like a nice guy for having helped her on a internet site.
That's it, no in depth analysis or further explanation. It's all Beck's fault, Van Jones was not that bad a guy said a Republican.
According to CNN, Glenn Beck is more powerful than the opposition Republicans, I guess.
Is Beck the Walter Cronkite for the 21st Century?,
(Remember Cronkite's opinion was instrumental for the end of the Vietnam war.)
It seems so, according to CNN. TeeHee!

As for the MSM ignoring what obviously was a very big story before the resignation and is now THE big story - it is absolutely a watershed moment.
First it was BO attacking RUSH by name - a radio talk show host who the elites wear it as a badge of honour to say that they do not listen to his show.
Now it is a FOX op-eder - a guy and a network who the MSM and the elite that controls it have said are illegitimate muckrakers of no substance - that has put a bomb through the HOPE and CHANGE carrier deck. The resignation is an event that will cost the MSM dearly in credibility with millions of their, up until now, loyal audience.
It reminds me of the time when the national enquirer broke the Gary Hart scandal. Before then the MSM utterly igored
the NE as a source of credible news, since then, they too - as an act of pure self-preservation - have started to dumpster dive for personal history dope on public figures.
Perhaps now they - for the same self-preservation motive - will start to dig into the foul, corrupt world of the BO machine.
Posted by: Gord Tulk at September 6, 2009 9:36 AMJones "resigned"; he was not "fired". This leaves Obama with the opportunity to continue to use him in some other or similar capacity within his administration once the brouhaha has blown over. He has just lost his "czarhood", not his function.
This is truly perplexing. All the marxist trust fund babies infesting the MSM could do was run a halfhearted suppression exercise while one of their Communist/truther buddies fell at the first hurdle? Talk about being caught flat footed.

Posted by: Rich at September 6, 2009 9:53 AMRegarding the use of pseudonyms when posting, I do believe that one should be willing to put one's name to anything one writes. When I first began commenting, I did just that. Then, I googled myself and discovered that my name had been linked to opinions that were not mine, expressed sometimes in language I would never use. This seems to be a shortcoming of webcrawlers. When indexing SDA in particular, Google associates your name with the comment that comes after your post rather than with your own post. In one egregious instance, it linked my name with the text of the moronic article upon which the comment thread was based. I now use my initials.
Posted by: RSP at September 6, 2009 9:55 AMBeck is really an American patriot for shedding light on all marxist/leninist, race baiting loonies Obamasiah has brought into power.
I'm thinking Michelle must be popping a vein right now. Her sense of victimization has just gone up a few more levels.
Posted by: Fred at September 6, 2009 9:55 AMA word of cautionto those who think that BO has now chance of saving his presidency:
if BO sticks to the government option in his speech this Wednesday then he is , I think, indeed doomed as many moderates in the dem party will abandon him. Some might even begin to openly oppose him ( thinking of their own candidacy in 2012 no doubt).
But, and I think it more likely, he may abandon the governement plan and go to "plan b" (google fred barnes plan B for more details) where he will propose insuance companies be forced to insure all risks while at the same time making it mandatory for all Americans to buy coverage (mass already has something like this). If he does this he will be hailed as the Great concilIator - Mitt Romney will likely support the idea as well as other GOP members and BO will zoom back up in the polls. Plan b is a disaster for America but it could be a political lifesaver for BO.
Posted by: Gord Tulk at September 6, 2009 10:17 AMBe careful about considering this a strategic 'win'. I'll suggest it isn't. It's a tactical manoeuvre.
Obama had to remove Jones from the spotlight in preparation for his 'Talk to the Children' on Tuesday and above all, for his unprecedented speech to Congress on Wednesday. But that's it; Jones is removed from the spotlight. Obama will move him quietly to another role.
And, Obama and Gang will move against FOX, against Beck, against the Internet and against bloggers.
What should be done? More Beck, Internet, Blog questions about Obama's Czars. Obama is setting up a Third Administration, outside the constraints of the Constitution and outside of the control of the People - and this ought to be the focus. Not simply individual Czars as in the case of Jones, but the whole system that Obama has set up - it's undemocratic.

Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim at September 6, 2009 10:26 AMET...right on the money.
As I understand what has happened, there was to be a czar position called the 'internet fairness czar' and now we have 'diversity czar' Mark Lloyd laying out his thoughts on ,what I call, an attack on radio and the net.
After Jones departure, of the the bag of nuts left, (Holdren-Sunstein-Lloyd), Lloyd represents the immediate problem. Not that the administration's position would change if any of the czars left but at least if enough of them exit perhaps the MSM might start to notice.
Here is a terse CBS News article about Jones and his problems: http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/09/04/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry5288607.shtml
Notice their attempt to minimize Jones' radical behavior as mere "foibles".
The great thing about all this for conservatives is that Glenn Beck and his Fox News brethren will continue to hammer these pukes by calling attention to their radical, nutty beliefs. It is not hard to do this when so much of it is on YouTube for all to see. The MSM, which has always shielded the left from public scrutiny when possible, must be furious to have the Beck types go around them to get the truth out. Fox's skyrocketing ratings must be like salt in a wound for the liberal press.
Some of the Obama team people are over the top, I think they are trying to inflame the right and hoping someone will do something stupid, then they can demonize the right and ram throught thier crap. I mean if there was some sort of "Extreme rightwing Oklahoms bombing" type event, the left and the MSM would love it and milk it for all its worth.

Posted by: Tenebris at September 6, 2009 1:17 PMAt this point, if the Obama administration tries to shut down FOX NEWS, the Right Wing Bloggers, or Right Wing Radio, that will be the point where the shooting starts and the ugliness that follows will be breath-taking. We will wind, but while the civil war proceeds, our foreign enemies will make progress against us and we will impoverish North America beyond what Obama has already done.
Let us hope that heroes like Beck, Malkin, Limbaugh and many others, are able to take down the communist regime that is now infesting the white-house and congress without violence.
I wonder how Obama will be able to tolerate his position as totally failed president within the first year of his reign. I don't think his shrink will allow it. It's getting really interesting.
Posted by: Momar at September 6, 2009 1:19 PMGood for Beck, Malkin and Fox. Too bad we do not have a Fox equivalent here in Canada and have only a few radio talk show hosts and one newspaper exposing what the CBC, Red Star and Mope & Wail ignore.

Hillary Clinton said it best during her NH melt down (tears) I paraphrase
"Don't we see what "they" are doing? We must stop "them"....."
The MSM has not followed up on her insight of whom "They" & "Them" represent in the democrat party..
IMO the AGW Carbon initiative is driven by Global Communistic Governance & the UN/EU gangsters….
95% of American reject Van Jones’s communist plans (poll)... and are now aware of a suspected/possible betrayal by the US Congress...
The Congressional Health plan also follows a Communist theme... Destroy America's wealth (held by those near or retired) Death Squads Etc.. The Theft of 500 billion from Medicare is a blatant betrayal of those over 50.. They worked & paid into SS Medicare all their lives to cover retirement costs.. That money does not belong to the US Congress...

Obama cannot fire him because that would mean a lack of judgement....this was not caught because Czars are not vetted by the Senate... look at Obama's record on appointees to date.
That is why he went the Czar route... no approval required, no accountability, no admission of lack of judgement. Czars simply skulk away with their heads down while the President looks the other way.

This proposed SD/Brown shirt never got recruited etc.
Obozo stands alone....
Acorn and a slew of union goons lacks the clout.
Obozo has alienated the military---all ranks.
Obozo has alienated the Police rank and file--with the "Gates" gaff....
Obozo cannot burn the Reichstag because he has alienated the CIA and FBI...and they are watching...
Hitler's core support was the Freikorps---disaffected VETERANS...these formed the hard corps of the SD/Brownshirts.....OBOZO ain't got that....
Now his CZARs are under attack and he can't legally retaliate....if he does the FREIKORP will put him an the next jet to Kenya.
I just went over to the cesspool that is the G&M to see what the illuminati (sarc) were saying about this story.
I'm absolutely floored that the first few comments (I couldn't stomach more than 2 pages' worth) intimated that those commenting also think 9/11 was done by Bush! And even worse? The number of "agree" clicks on their comments!
I weep for the sanity of my country and, yes, my world.
Check it out if you have the stomach for it.

No, Johann, I don't have the stomach for that.
CNN makes the point that the resignation "did not come at the request of the president,"
Of course not. I'm so surprised.
Posted by: Sounder at September 6, 2009 5:16 PM".White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration." So it would seem that only his title as changed. Another slight of hand from the Obama government.
Posted by: Warren Z at September 6, 2009 5:29 PM[quote]nice catch on the HRC comment. How much longer before she resigns and starts up her hillary2012.com site? [/quote]Gord Tulk
The DNC have one option available...Use the throwaway "Biden" and bring Hillary into the WH as VP.. She could eliminate the wealth transfer part of health care & Cap/trade...Soft landing for Obama, Hillary in 2012
If they (DNC) wait for 2012 they will face 95% of Americans (291 Million) against them, with the support of a possible 5% (16 million) Communists.. It's not a fair fight
Funny how that 16 million number seems familiar
There is a police report which states that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. Glenn Beck has not denied that he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. The evidence shows that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. Many people now believe that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990
Posted by: The TRuth at September 6, 2009 6:18 PMThe left will attack the messenger. But that doesn't change the fact that the stuff dug up about Van Jones is completely true!!!!
I hope Glenn has lots of security. Michelle, too.
Posted by: Soccermom at September 6, 2009 6:39 PMhow could a character of van jones low standing wind up in such a position????
he fits the mold, that's how
Rangle, who is on the "ways & means" , screemed racism when asked to step down over his "need" to refile past tax submitions. Isn't there one "clean" person in Owebamalot's administration
Posted by: GYM at September 6, 2009 6:53 PMObama ought to trade in his Bus for a wood chiper.
Glen Beck is just doing what the press used to do.
Giving the public information to check out.
The fact the MSM will not even report on this just shows how shallow the pool has become.
The Legacy Media died in 2008, whats left is only an ediface of lies filled with political whores. Selling honor, integrity, & truth for a personality cult of Marxists.
JMO
Degan 8:37, Wow, it's so hard to spot a shallow thinker's post!! Nitwit.
Posted by: sonofAtilla at September 6, 2009 8:58 PMThe newest headline at WaPo is "Van Jones's Resignation Reveals Vetting Lapse", a capitulation as the day has worn on. The accompanying comments must have exhausted these idiots.
"Vetting lapse", please, a homeless mental health druggie/psychotic wasting time at a public library could have plugged Van Jones' into Google and come up with a gold mine of his smarmy Mumia supporter-Truther-racist background. It was never hidden.
I've been trying to figure out for years besides getting the corporation's product out how these journo morons get up in the morning and still parrot the journo 'ethics" mantra among themselves let alone the more sophisticated public.
Posted by: penny at September 6, 2009 9:00 PMThat's easy Penny. They are saving the world from evil people like you and me. We are such a danger that -anything- they do is justified.
Same as Van Jones. The WaPo dorks are arm in arm with the Van Joneses and Cynthia McKinneys of the world, saving Humanity from those bad humans.
To bad for them us bad people have computers.
Posted by: The Phantom at September 6, 2009 10:02 PMHey, we're having some 'waterturtur' in Victoria today....it is a long weekend after all.....
new, you've been on the bong too much, ease up a bit, ok?
Posted by: DanBC at September 6, 2009 10:44 PM How many of you knew that there were plans to have an Income Redistribution Czar and a Radio-Internet Fairness Czar. Also a Student Loan Czar- to oversee a program of mandatory service in return for college money?) In addition there was to be a Voters List Czar.
I wonder if the Radio-Internet title got changed to Diversity Czar as that sounds all touchy-feely.
Lotsa games being played I suspect.
As to the school address as mentioned above?
The school admins have been advised that our boy is NOT to be exposed to any of it.
Posted by: Curious at September 7, 2009 12:32 AMThe Truth . Beck is flawed , but his not a murderer. part of his charm is he admits to being flawed, not a narcissist like the big Owe.his admission to being flawed makes him a difficult target for the left perfectionists.
Beck is a self-described recovering alcoholic and drug addict.[6] He also has a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. [7] He and his first wife divorced amid his struggle with substance abuse. Beck cites the help of Alcoholics Anonymous in his sobriety, and he eventually converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,[8] which teaches against the consumption of alcohol.
By his first marriage, Beck has two teenage daughters, Hannah and Mary. With his second wife, Tania, he has two children, Raphe and Cheyenne. He is currently a resident of New Canaan, Connecticut, where, in May of 2008, Beck applied for a special permit to place a six foot wall around his home citing "security concerns" and "angry audiences."
On his best day Beck can only be considered as a comic actor in the info-tainment industry. It's political theater gone hollywood. I like to watch the anally retentive left get their sphincters into spasm mode over the clowning we see from these entertainers.
Reinforces for me how incredibly gullible the left are - and not too bright either.

I've seen the same crackpot comment by Tom Degan posted on 3 different blogs now. Tom is apparently flying around the blogsphere like an addled pigeon, dropping his poop all over the place.
Typical lefty reasoning: Van Jones says he's a Communist, but it's wrong for Beck to point out that Jones is a Commie. Just like it's OK for Muslim terrorists to say they want to kill people in the name of Allah, but in bad taste to draw attention to their statements.
Yet, it's perfectly fine to call someone you disagree with politically a murderer and rapist, without providing any evidence whatsoever.
Lefties are scum.
