Tonight on Beck’s show, he revealed more unearthed and uncovered video and audio of the exploits, beliefs and agenda of Obama’s Green Jobs Czar, Van Jones. This is just incredible, and how the White House can allow this to happen is unbelievable.
Seriously, how can this be allowed to continue? Is the FBI this inept, or did Obama waive Jones through? Either way, the FBI better come out and distance themselves from the administration on this garbage. Especially considering that they are the point-men on “high-value detainee interrogations” now. That is some SCARY shi* if this is how they vet Executive Branch personnel!!
Michelle Malkin weighs in with her intel, and provides more background into Van Jones’ Oakland history.
You tell me, people. Do you want a President who surrounds himself with radical people like this?
Today, Glenn had artist Pat Courrielche on to discuss the recent NEA conference call with the White House, calling on all artists to use their media to promote all of Obama’s agenda items. Pat recorded the phone conference because he felt uncomfortable with what they were asking. I’m just going to let you watch the segment, and will display below Pat’s write-up about this whole affair below from this article:
“What does it mean when a government official evades the truth?
On August 25th, I published an article discussing a conference call hosted by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the White House Office of Public Engagement, and United We Serve that invited a group of art community luminaries “to help lay a new foundation for growth, focusing on core areas of the recovery agenda – health care, energy and environment, safety and security, education, community renewal.â€
In the article I argued that it was not the role of the National Endowment for the Arts to use the arts to address specific issues, especially those of “health care†and “energy and environment†that are being vehemently debated nationally. I also clearly indicated that I was invited by the NEA and questioned their involvement in a meeting of this nature.
Two days later an article was published in the Washington Times that referenced my account of the conference call. Kerry Picket reported in the article that she “asked the NEA for a copy of the invitation to the conference call, but Communications Director for the NEA Yosi Sergant told us that they were not the ones who sent out the invitations for the conference call.†Picket continues, “Mr. Sergant directed us to the Corporation for National and Community Service as the body that sent out the invitations.â€
There’s not much more I can say here or editorialize on than what Glenn says. I could have cut out the last part where Glenn poses questions about his own motives, but I wanted to leave it because I think the context is important. If Glenn is wrong, then he’s wrong and discredited. But if he’s right, then what? Then not only does it suck for Glenn, but it sucks for ALL Americans!
I agree with Glenn about this back-and-forth between Left and Right; all common-sense Americans should come together as one group, and ask our government about this man, Van Jones, along with the other “czars” or “special advisers” or whatever the Obama administration is calling these 32 people. We, as a free country, deserve answers to these questions. And only as one voice can we truly ask for and get the answers we need. I think the powers-that-be like it when we are at each others’ throats, so we all need to stop it – and work together.
It is, after all, our country that is at stake. It doesn’t just affect Republicans – it affects every American.
All I gotta say to the cops is “TAZE HIM, BRO!” This dude DESERVED it! He assaulted the cops flat out, so he’s lucky the camera was around. Zack Lyde is an idiot and should have been tazed!
Question: Is there a difference between a useful idiot and a useless idiot? Just askin’. Heh.
Pastor Broden agrees with Beck, saying it’s time for all Americans to awaken and pay attention to what is going on in our government. He, too, is dismayed at the level of power that’s being built up in the Executive Branch, and given to folks who are accountable to nearly no one except the President.
This is a call for all of you, folks, to please wake up, pay attention, and even if you HATE Beck with everything in your soul, please just listen to the questions he posts and do some research for yourself. See if you can find different outcomes/answers than do Glenn and Pastor Broden. It’s up to all of us to keep ourselves engaged and active, or we’ll never be able to get our Republic back.
We can no longer afford to sleep while the America we know is being ravaged under our very noses. Do the founding documents no longer matter? If they do to you, then it’s time for YOU to get involved, and get your friends and neighbors to listen, too. Heck, don’t just listen… ASK QUESTIONS YOURSELVES!
Hi… please forgive the appearance of my site. I have a tag somewhere in the code that is wreaking havoc, and until I can find it, my site is all caddywampus on me. Please bear with me as I work to correct it.
Listen…I’m no fan of Obama, and like Mark Levin, I’d vote for a can of orange juice before I’d vote for Obama in 2012. Somewhere along the way, just because our president is black, videos like this are becoming more mainstream and more acceptable on YouTube and other sites, and it should not be.
This is tastleless to the n’th degree, but if it’s okay for black people to do this, how is anything ANY of the Republican candidates do remotely deemed racist at all?
If this country ever truly wants to progress and become a more civilized nation, why is trash like this even tolerated? I’m not asking for this garbage to be censored, but I’d love to see at least SOME condemnation of things like this to be more prevalent. Can we please all agree this is unacceptable in a civilized world? You cannot condemn one group of people for being allegedly “racist” while simultaneously approving of another group of people for creating videos such as this, villifying a single race of people in the process of glorifying the creators of these videos? One need only search certain terms on YouTube to find thousands of videos like this one. And they’re all equally disgusting.
What say you, Eugene Robinson, Goldie Taylor, Donna Brazile, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., etc.? I’m waiting for you all to openly condemn videos like this on YouTube. If you don’t, then I have no reason to listen to your small and petty complaints of racism from Fox News, Republicans as a whole, and GOP candidates in the 2012 primary. Your silence about videos like this are tacit approval of them.
As is said in many places, “hilarity ensues” (h/t Mediaite):
Frances Martel does a fabulous write-up about it, and I couldn’t have said it any better, so here it is direct from the Mediaite post:
“Are you offended?” O’Reilly asked Harpootlian, who replied that he was not, but that he found the fact that Republicans had “no outreach to African Americans” a problem “in a state where we have an African-American Republican Congressman.” “Adding insult to injury, this debate ignoring Martin Luther King’s birthday!” he added, which made O’Reilly ask who was ignoring the debate and why. The Republicans, Harpootlian replied, because “no one has raised any issue with Fox about it being appropriate or inappropriate.”
O’Reilly then asked whether there was a reason for this– namely, something that happened in 2008. Harpootlian did not remember what happened in 2008 (a Democratic primary debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and who sponsored it (the Congressional Black Caucus), which prompted several awkward seconds where Harpootlian was obviously caught flat-footed. With this development, O’Reilly then told him that, “by injecting race into this, you do a disservice.” Harpootlian finally replied, blaming Republicans for injecting race into the matter by calling this “the most important election since 1860.” “We in the South have a little different version of that election,” he noted, suggesting that talking to Southerners in such a way was a sort of dog whistle. O’Reilly disagreed and just asked Harpootlian to give it up, adding, “you’re getting killed here!”
Today on Neil Cavuto, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, Mark Levin was on to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia.”
Levin’s previous book, “Liberty and Tyranny” was a best-seller, as was another book before that titled, “Men in Black.” “Liberty and Tyranny” is a must-read for anybody who wants to know how we got to the point where we are in America today.
I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:
‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.
