There’s no fool like an old fool…
…and this clip is full of them. Listen to these pompous, has-been gasbags avoid discussing the actual facts of the Van Jones case. It’s hard, but watch the whole thing.
They are running scared. I think they realise it is pretty much all over for the old media. Basically, they are opining on a story that they not only did not report, but that they actively kept out of their reporting or broadcasts lest it harm the Prez. In this clip, they are sanctimoniously lecturing about how this could harm “the childrens” as everyone is “a filmmaker”. They bemoan the sewer that is the internet. If it is a sewer it is because it is full of Barry’s turds. But the really stupid aspect of the clip that these dinosaurs fail to address is this: it is all true.
Therein lies the difference. He is an avowed communist. He is a 9/11 Truther. He hates Whitey. Etc, etc. I will not deny that there is a lot of unsubstantiated nonsense on the intertubes from both sides, but not in this case. No wonder the MSM is fading into irrelevance and insignificance, if this is their brightest and best.  Here’s what Glenn Beck had to say of Jones’ resignation,
The American people stood up and demanded answers. Instead of providing them, the Administration had Jones resign under cover of darkness. I continue to be amazed by the power of everyday Americans to initiate change in our government through honest questioning, and judging by the other radicals in the administration, I expect that questioning to continue for the foreseeable future.Â
Indeed. I stopped watching Mr Beck a while back, partly because I felt he was wound a little too tight, then because I refuse to have Fox News on in my house. I have to say that I have a new found respect for him, after this. I suspect that he comes across as a little intense precisely because he cares so deeply for this country. He is an emotional man so I think it hurts him deeply when he sees the direction this country has veered off in. My hat is off to him in this instance. Good job, Mr Beck.
Good discussion over at Hot Air.
