Glenn Massah

The odious Mr. Beck is losing all of his quality advertisers for calling our President, who is of both African American and Anglo American heritage, a racist. Thanks to a protest organized by ColorOfChange.org, where black Americans stand up for themselves as so many people have told them to do for so many years, his filthy invective has cost Fox his advertisers, and other Fox programs have lost some of these high-quality advertisers as spillover from the hate.

Now the clown prince of simpleton hate and fear is going after Color of Change co-founder Van Jones, who is an expert on sustainability, particularly in urban areas where it is so deeply needed, and an Obama appointee. Jones is an accomplished man and author of bestseller The Green Collar Economy, which posits that we can solve two economic problems with the same stone, i.e. green jobs that will employ more people while making our world more livable.

A far cry from the hate and fear-mongering of the clown prince. And now Beck is going after Jones, calling this special advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality a "revolutionary" due to Jones' social and environmental activism.

As I recall, revolutionaries work to tear down a system, not join to make it more sustainable. But then again, racebaiters like Beck have historically worked to cut down strong black men in their prime. When I was born they could do it with ropes and hoods in the middle of the night.

Maybe that's not Beck.

But what percentage do you think it might be of his audience?

Glenn Beck is an asshat that tries to be an entertainer. Who feeds on the insecurities of a good majority of his listeners.

But let's focus on something else other than 1.6 trillion dollar deficit????? No, I'm sorry I can't. 1.6 trillion dollars. Let me just write that out in number version. 1,600,000,000,000 dollars. We're officially turned the dollar into monopoly money.

Quit spending money. Stop it. Figure it out. Cut programs. Stop the leaking. Fiscal Conservatism for 2012. Or increase our defense / offense (bully) budget so we can start taking someone's lunch money.

Because I'm a good guy and I'd hate to see you risk self-inflicted brain damage from the relentless clanking of her leaden prose, I pass this along. It's long been considered the gold standard on Rand, from one of her most famous fellow travelers:

(ps: Her most famous fellow traveler is the reason the deficit is $1.6T.)
