Obama Czar Goes After Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck is an unusual political news host both on Fox News and Premier Radio Networks. Beck is an author having written 3 New York Times best seller books…the latest called Common Sense. Most recently, he has sponsored the 912 Project, an organization designed to bring us back to where we were as patriotic Americans on 9/12/2001. He is unabashedly stouthearted in his support of conservative values and rejection of the authoritarian controlling and leftist agenda of the present administration.
On July 28th, on Fox and Friends, Beck had the audacity to criticize Obama:
The group Color of Change, a far-left radical pressure organization, has launched a “counter attack” successfully getting 5 of Beck’s advertisers to drop the show. Van Jones, Obama’s Green Czar, is a self-described communist who just happens to be a founding board member of Color of Change (although C of C has deleted reference to him on their web pages, information can still be found here or in the article about him here (the Google cache will soon be deleted).
Erick Erickson, on Red State, comments:
Barack Obama’s brownshirts are after Glenn Beck.
We can’t let them win. If they win with Beck, they’ll be emboldened to go after even more people….We need to strike back and boycott these groups for ditching Beck. If they are going to fold so easily in the face of Obama brownshirts, we must push back. If not, who’ll be next?
He also shares the contact information of the advertisers in order to launch a counter-boycott. In addition, a reader of Michelle Malkin, shares a Support Glenn Beck website with direct links to these advertisers.
Even if you don’t regularly watch or agree with Glenn Beck, the fact that the Obama administration can have this kind of control is an abhorrence and cannot be tolerated. You are encouraged to write these advertisers and let them know you will counter-boycott their products in defense of our First Amendment rights being raped by the so-called leader of our country and his minions.
A government big enough to give you everything you want. Is a government big enough to take away everything you have…Thomas Jefferson.
If this is not frightening to you, it should be. Obama is moving way to fast but didn’t Hitler do the same? I am not ready for my Country to be overtaken. A Godless Country will surely fail. Obama is in no fashion a Christan as he wants us to believe. I cringed when I watched the above clips. Obama and his associates are working hard to destroy the freedom and liberty with which God has so graciously blessed us. Obama’s ethics have proven to be the wrong system of conduct and behavior. Unless we stand strong we are going to be totally lost in the Liberal Party’s control. Write your Congress people and request the hidden documents be released that Obama has locked away; ever so carefully. Please stop burying your heads in the sand. It is time to stand up and be counted…to be heard. How did Thomas know what we would be going through today? Obama smiles, speaks with knowledge and is planning on taking away everything we have…so did Hitler, Lenin and Stalin.

Yes and most of what is now happening and has happened is mirrored by 1933 Socialist Germany. This is how it starts. Total government control is how it ends. What happens after that is too frightening to imagine. Governments bloated with power have never created what is good for humankind.
I’m white, I’m comfortable financially in life. I have Health Insurance and I will do my level best to continue to contact corporations that still sponsor the hate speak and incendiary baseless remarks Beck makes each day along with the other rednecks on Fox News. Funny how Fox News had no problem during the Bush years while he and Cheney walked over the constitution. Until Bush and the right wing zealots came to prominence I had no problem in considering a Republican for office but unless Republicans start severing ties from idiots and groups that Fox News caters to.
There are still good men and women in the Republican Party but unless they start standing up to these idiots I will never consider a Republican for National Office again.
Thank you for your response, CW.
In reply, I think the difference between how Bush was treated and how the right is treated is totally different. For instance, imagine having a film about how to assassinate the president or have books written on how to do the same and then have no news report on any of it toward this president. That is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how vastly different Bush was treated and how we must tip toe around Obama–or else. You may not agree with Beck which is fine, but he still deserves to have freedom of speech. You miss the whole point in that this is not just people boycotting–if that were the case–I’d have nothing to say. What bothers me is that this attack is coming from a Czar under the supervision of the White House. I would fight that for whomever it was aimed….liberal or conservative. You are unwise to not consider a candidate based on who stands up to what totally apart from what the candidate has said and done. That’s a fool’s game.
Great post. Good points made by Beck. How -could- Obamaba listen to Black hysteria preaching for 20 years and not state that the police acted stupidly in the Boston case.
Exactly…and if he can say that nationally and enjoy the freedom of speech regardless how wrong he is, certainly someone else should have the right to counter.
hold on chicago blues girl…i beg to differ…the czars are not under the supervision of the white house or the government. They are assistants to the chosen one and answer to no one but him. One huge step to a “dicktatorship” sadly of all gifted by the dems, to the equal of doogie howzer md. Is there any way to impeach this disaster along with his friends? His big show of “hope and change” were all an act just like vaudeville…big with bright lights, not what it seems, and not delivering what it promises…hopefully his act will disappear just like the old vaudeville acts did, but maybe a little faster? Can our great country survive 3 more years of this attack on our constitution? It’s so exhausting, but so worth it especially considering how many brave Americans fought and died to defend it. Can you please link me to some site where I can see where obama, michelle, pelosi or reid ever fought or volunteered for anything that didn’t further their political agenda? To quote my deceased, navy, veteran, father in law…”what a crock”. That’s for you Ed.
Unfortunately, you are so right. The Czars are Obama’s lackeys.
There is a big difference between freedom of speech and pulling your ads as a corporation. He has the right to run his mouth as much as he wants. Businesses are not bound to run ads during a show that they feel is offensive. I didn’t see or hear republicans object to MTV not allowing Nine Inch Nails to perform their song “The Hand That Feeds” unless the band agreed not to hang a larger than life portrait of Bush on the stage during the performance. MTV still had the right to pull the plug on the show.
I know what you mean CW, but you are still missing the point–pulling the ads is not what bothers me–companies can pull any ads they want to. What is wrong is Obama’s DIRECTION via his Czars to pressure companies to pull the ads–THAT is what disturbs me and should disturb you, too.
Yes,Beck’s been running his mouth, Rush runs his mouth, Hannity and O’Reilly run their mouths. Geraldo, King of Death, runs his liberal mouth. Those businesses have never been bothered by any of it or they would have pulled their ads and Rush is far more intensified than Beck in his verbal grit (not that I mind…I love Rush).
The point is that our president should not be in the business of directing anyone to pressure companies to withdraw. We need to be very bothered by the founding board member of a leftist political pressure group who is also an Obama controlled Czar directing his political goons to pressure businesses to withdraw ads OR else face consequences from the government. Read up on Color of Change if you have never heard of them. If you still don’t get this argument then there is nothing more I can tell you; you’re hopelessly lost.
CW, may I have your permission to comment on your post? Thank you! I am having difficulty accepting the fact that a radical group, Color for Change, can attract the attention they have. At this time 20 companies have pulled advertisment from Glen Beck. It’s insane! We may not agree with Beck, but he has the same rights to speak as Michelle Obama had when she said, “I have never, as an adult been proud of America until today.” Yet, because she was Michelle Obama, she was applauded for that uncanny remark, and later became first lady. It seems to me there is a lot of spliting hairs going on here. I will do everything in my Conservative power to keep Glen Beck on the air. I appreciate him for his fortitude. My car and pick-up was insured with Geico, and I changed companies today, only asking first if they were against Glen Beck. Wal-mart is not one of my favorite places to shop, however I go in on occassion for prescriptions. They to lost a customer. CVS is another that I will not support any longer. Boycotting in reverse and word of mouth can be harmful to the companies who went against a TRUE AMERICAN; Glen Beck. Do those companies even know who they are dealing with? Van Jones, the Lawyer, radical advocate is an avowing communist and satan worshipper. Sleep well knowing that you are supporting a person with those credentials.
Roni,
Excellent posting. You are awesome!
A true American my ass. You ultra conservatives are a minority, and are the same misguided group you were during the election. I think Geico and the rest can get along without you. Tell Beck and the rest of the armchair warriors on Fox to spend a couple tours in Iraq or Afghanistan and then maybe you can call him a true American.
One more thing Roni… don’t conservatives usually support Big Business over the common person anyway?
CW: “Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness. George Washington 1790
If the prerequisite to be a True American is spending time in harms way in Iraq and Afghanistan…can we then also claim that the President of our Country is NOT a true American?
You claim to be covered with insurance and have a substantial monies. Good for you! Did you make that money from a small business “poor man?”
I doubt the small business man had anything at all to do with your fortune. In order for our country to become the greatest country in the world, there had to be big businesses. They had to be supported in order for our country to flourish and supply jobs. Of course, the love of money is the root of all evil. The CEO’s stumbled into that evil. However, the CEO’s of the big businesses were not all Republicians.
It is very easy for a Liberal to attack, but very hard for them to admit their wrongs.
Again, Roni, good points. CW sounds like a closet liberal. Like most liberals, he’s allergic to facts and logic. As I said, if he still doesn’t get this argument then there is nothing more anyone can tell him; he’s hopelessly lost.
Such pundits… how can I live with myself… boo hoo!
Such a “Fair and Balanced” Blog
CW: See you in the Republic!
Peace
A liberal, when faced with irrefutable facts he/she disagrees with will always resort to childish name calling and such was the case here with CW. What CW fails to realize is that Beck has been exposing Obamas CZARS for what they really are. They are radical(in some cases out right revolutionaries)far left wing extremists with an obvious agenda. The information he provides the public about these CZARS has never been refuted by the government or the czars themselves. This is not hate talk here…this is fact my brother. We are living in scary times and people need to wake up.
Van Jones has been getting some press lately, mainly from conservative news sources. As Van says himself, “I don’t care what the facts are!”
Peace Out !
Though my heart is heavy I must bid you all adu… but before I leave and never post here again, here is some words of wisdom from one of your own:
“Republicans are struggling right now to find the great white hope. I suggest to any of you who are concerned about that, who are Republican, there are some great young Republican minds in Washington.” – Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS)
