Glenn Beck up, left down and Van Jones defiant

The Jones departure recalls another Democratic surrender: The indicated willingness to abandon a plan to fund voluntary end-of-life consultations after they were miscast by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as “death panels.”

"As we've seen before, succumbing to these types of propaganda attacks from the right wing only emboldens the aggressors. This controversy will go away and they will trump up another one tomorrow,” said David Brock, founder and chairman of Media Matters for America, a group that has taken on conservative commentators. “No good comes from appeasing a lunatic bully like Glenn Beck."

"If Jones left under pressure from the Obama administration then we are in for a very long and painful four years,” said Melissa Harris Lacewell, a political science professor at Princeton University. “I would hate to think that Glenn Beck can simply shout down any member of the administration he chooses to target.”

With one of enemy's advance MIGs downed, pilot ejected, and all our fighters back safely, a post-mission de-brief back at the base:

Cognizant of it or not, IRONICALLY, AND THIS WILL DRIVE SENATOR OBAMA BONKERS, WE TOOK WHOLE SECTIONS OUT OF SAUL ALINSKY'S BOOK AND APPLIED IT WITH GREAT SUCCESS IN VAN JONES' CASE.

I wholeheartedly recommend we perfect these tactics and adopt them in the next cases: Mark, Cass, Valerie and the rest of the whole rotten statist, elitist crew in D.C. (and their replacements if they don't get the message the first time we, the People, are serious).

Sound familiar?:

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”

Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”

Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract (socialist organizations) or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Beck is off to expose Cass Sunstein. He has already put the word out for information.

In my opinion, Beck is on a mission to bring the cockroaches into the light. While I think your idea is a good one, Beck is not the person to take that ball. Beck is going to take the czars down one at a time.

Someone else will need to clean up the mess they leave behind.

Now we need an account of where all the money went that was under Van Jones supervision.

Over a billion dollars, (actually I think 2 billion.) What groups received that money.

This will be the new narrative. They will say that Beck is a racist went after Van Jones because he is Black. You will never hear about the lunatic positions Van Jones took or espoused. You will only hear that Glenn Beck is the new McCarthy. Van Jones will be lionized as the new Che.

[Uncle Ivan]

Being called a lunatic by David Brock must be a unique experience.

"and Van Jones defiant"

You! My FRiend are correct!

I know that the opposition is amazed that we have taken over both Twitter and Facebook.

The Digg group here is making headway on Digg. YouTube is pretty well split. (if anyone would like to help with those, we could use it)

We are taking the Alinsky talking points and using them on their playground, the internet, and we are winning because generally, we are more intelligent and well read. When one is used to having the “you’re right/you’re right” conversation, it’s very hard when another POV comes in. I had a YouTube poster get to the point of frothing insults to my inbox because I messed with his reality! It was pretty funny.

We are scrambling their brains.

We are scrambling their brains.

Hee heee....!

I would prefer Mark Lloyd first, but, well, Glenn knows what he is doing, and if he wants us to dig worldwide on this Cass character first, well then, I am in the game, and I will do so.

Lt. Col. AmericanInTokyo, Army of Davids, reporting for duty.

I am sure the White House has informed all political appointees to start cleaning up their websites and all references to the best they can, use Reputation Restorer, etc. However, a lot of this stuff can be found anyways. Lets keep digging.

Only the left is stating that Beck took him down.

FoxNews Sunday gave credit to anyone but Beck. I think that’s intentional. Beck has gotten powerful and everyone knows it. If he gets too powerful, it can be dangerous for him.

He will be in Washington on the 12th. None of us want him to be a martyr for our cause.

[Westbrook]

> He is a minor player, he has no power, no budget, why
> take him?

Liar. He had a budget of $80,000,000,000

> It’s because he looks like Obama

Liar. He doesn’t look anything like Obama. Oh, you mean his COLOR. Why didn’t you say so, you race-baiting liar.

> an electrifying speaker with an elite education

Yes, to the Left, the use of four-letter potty language has always been electrifying. How juvenile.

> It seems to me that he is symbolic of what the Obama
> administration is

Yes. Unapologetically COMMUNIST.

> fusing civil rights, economics, and environmentalism put
> him at the head of powerful streams in the Democratic Party

Yes, rioters, jailbirds, incendiaries, and revolutionary communists are definitely at the head of the Democrat Party.

> top officials sometimes touted him as a kind of trophy hire.

What kind of trophy? You’ve got a predominantly black administration. They are overwhelmingly communistic. In what way does this Mugabe/Odinga communist stand out from the rest of the cabal?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Great counters, Westbrook!

[rbg81]

I bet there are many, many Leftwing moonbats who literally can’t sleep at night because Beck is on the air. The big difference between him and Limbaugh is that they can SEE Beck in action, which probably enrages them even more. The Left is for everyone’s free speech—except those who dare disagree with them. In their mind, that’s not speech—its “hate”.

[netmilsmom]

The best thing we can do to help is get on the Digg list and when a FReeper posts a YouTube video, go to the link and comment or at least “thumbs up/down” the comments.

I’m always amazed to see a video linked here then NO ONE comments on it over at YouTube. We have power here. Power and knowledge. Many times, I’m arguing with twenty year olds that have never left the University. They crumble with a bit of actual history thrown at them.

Jan or Seth will put anyone on the Digg list. It’s FUN to play over there!

"If Jones left under pressure from the Obama administration then we are in for a very long and painful four years,”

Boy, I sure hope so. I'll certainly do what I can.

They have conveninetly forgotten that Van Jones targeted Glenn Beck and tried to destroy him. Conservative should repeat this mantra constantly to the stupid liberals. As for David Brock, here is a man whose entire career is built on lies and selling himself out to the highest bidder. He has ZERO CREDIBILITY. He is a sociopath. He destroys people for the fun of it.

>>Oh, you mean his COLOR. Why didn’t you say so, you race-baiting liar.<<

To them, we think they all look alike.

Geez, why are these people stuck in the 1960’s?

[AmericanInTokyo]

thanks, helpful.

[netmilsmom]

>>They have conveninetly forgotten that Van Jones targeted Glenn Beck and tried to destroy him.<<

That needs to be repeated often.

[netmilsmom]

No, thank you!!!!!
