This guy has to go, plain and simple. This would be akin to George Bush appointing David Duke as a special adviser. And Jones does not come from a poor background, given the fact that both his parents worked in the public schools. If Obama can't bring himself to cut this guy loose, then that tells us all we need to know about Obama.

Jones said at one point during his speech, "This movement is deeper than a solar panel! Deeper than a solar panel! Don't stop there! Don't stop there! We're gonna change the whole system! We're gonna change the whole thing. We're not gonna put a new battery in a broken system. We want a new system. We want a new system!"

There has to be something mentally wrong with someone who repeats as he does. He must have used mind altering drugs along with Oprah and Barry. This man is more proof of the detrimental effect of Affirmative Action. Were it not for AA he, along with Barry, would be selling counterfeit Rolexes on the street.

“Glen Beck is a new Paul Revere and I hope Americans are listening closely”

I’m a fan of Paul Revere, but hopefully Glen Beck is more successful than Revere. Paul Revere was arrested before he completed his ride. Glen seems on his way to completing his mission.

For those of you who don't bother reading the article, which seems to be most, here are the money shots. This is the conclusion of the article. The author AGREES with Beck and concludes he is NOT lying about Jones. As for the EXAMINER, when I left San Francisco it was a free paper with almost no readership, but had gone suddenly Conservative from its old bankrupt shell. Good for the Examiner. Keep up the good work! even if nobody reads you...

My conclusion after many hours of research is that Beck has not presented a single dishonest statement about Jones. Everything Beck has claimed can be easily found with the smallest amount of effort. The biggest problem I had was deciding what to include in this article and what to leave out. The amount of information out there is mountainous.

We all should indeed be demanding that President Obama address this. There is no place in our government for anyone who overtly espouses tearing down our entire system and replacing it with something else. Their should be no room for a man who wants to worsen racial tensions instead of trying to help heal old wounds. But it goes deeper than that. Based on his statements it would appear that Jones wants to completely change our system of government. And he isn't the only one. When you really look deep at what is happening it is frightening.

No, I think Alger Hiss was, or someone else who was so successful we don’ een know they were a mole. Obama is obviously a red, but it’s so obvious, that he’s not a mole. A mole is undercover.

From the article:

My conclusion after many hours of research is that Beck has not presented a single dishonest statement about Jones. Everything Beck has claimed can be easily found with the smallest amount of effort. The biggest problem I had was deciding what to include in this article and what to leave out. The amount of information out there is mountainous.

We all should indeed be demanding that President Obama address this. There is no place in our government for anyone who overtly espouses tearing down our entire system and replacing it with something else. Their should be no room for a man who wants to worsen racial tensions instead of trying to help heal old wounds. But it goes deeper than that. Based on his statements it would appear that Jones wants to completely change our system of government. And he isn't the only one. When you really look deep at what is happening it is frightening.

I don't see Beck as a racist, conspiracy-theorist lunatic. I see him as someone with a genuine concern for what's going on in our government. I share his concern. It's not a race issue, at least on this side. It's not a Republican or Democrat issue. It's an issue of people who are for, as Barack Obama himself put it just five days before the election, "fundamenatally changing the The United States of America."

Well, according to people like Van Jones, you are in very good company. I also would fall into his category of being a racist.
