That ColorofChange group is run by someone who used to be a MoveOn.org employee.

Therefore, they are disqualified in my eyes as a good organization.

And, anyone who race baits, is of course, disqualified.

Perhaps they are under the impression that all race problems no longer exist and that it is now ok to cry wolf and charge people as racists in order to just shut them up.

Unfortunately, racism does exist, and they have cried wolf so many time for obama, that when someone really is doing something racist, no one will listen.

Communist Green Jobs Czar’s Group Takes Aim at TV’s Glenn Beck

August 12th, 2009 by Matthew Vadum

The particularly unsavory left-wing pressure group Color of Change has an axe to grind with Glenn Beck — and it’s personal.

The extremist racial grievance group isn’t happy that Beck did several news packages on Van Jones, President Obama’s controversial green jobs czar who describes himself as a communist. (Green really is the new red.)

Jones is a founding board member of Color of Change, but Color of Change doesn’t want you to know that. Maybe having an avowed America-hating radical on the group’s board is bad public relations.

The group deleted references to Jones on its “about” page. That page used to say, “James Rucker and Van Jones came together in the wake of [Hurricane] Katrina to use the organizing power of the Internet to give Black Americans and our allies a renewed and strengthened political voice.”

But now it doesn’t.

The old page still exists in the Google cache. (The cache will eventually be cleared, so for safekeeping, I made a PDF of the page here.) The 501(c)(4) group’s 2006 2007 tax returns (IRS Form 990) show Jones as a director. and

Jones was also on the board of the Apollo Alliance, a hard-left environmentalist group that is now running large chunks of the Obama administration. Beck pounded away at the Apollo Alliance and Jones on a recent show."

I wonder what FOX is telling Beck to say or not to say about all of this. I haven't watched his show lately to see if he's even allowed to talk about how they are going after him.

Beck was on vacation last week, but before that he did talk about it and did "tweet" about it (but the tweet was vague, unless you knew the background).

All this week he is talking about "The New Republic: America's Future" . . . very interesting. He listed questions that need answers:

— Why is it that whenever President Obama has a gathering of supporters, it's a grassroots movement, but whenever Americans protest his policies, it's "Astroturf" — artificial.

— Who are these "czars"? What do they do? What power do they have? Are they constitutional?

— Why is necessary to completely overhaul health care nearly overnight — even though any changes wouldn't even go into effect until 2013? And what is so bad about our current system? Yes, I agree that there are some issues — things that we'd all like to fix. But is it so bad that we must fundamentally change our entire system?

— How can they pass a 1,500-page climate bill that would cause our electricity rates to skyrocket:

Beck is rocking. today's show was a hit on Van Jones--big time. I recorded it. These advertisers are the least of ColorofChange's problem. The crap is really hitting the fan. Goooo Beck. And the people backing up the info, are not shabby. Very extensive indepth show. wow.

I'm wondering how many are watching. Resistnet has chat while the Beck's program is running--unbelieveable what's being said.

So much important information is being said on this show. Americans are going to explode after this week.

This is one of the stupidest things in the world. I have watched Glenn Beck and while I don't always agree with him I didn't find him to be racist. I am sorry but people need to remember that racism means hating someone because of his/her race and that is it. Its not disagreeing with a black President.

I watched it too live and DVR'd it to watch again.

One of the guests (the Democrat) was so, so informative. His expressions showed that he was very concerned about what is happening. He said the country is being taken over by elitists . . . we have been saying that for a long time . . .

I am very impressed with the research and amount of information that GB is finding.

Kb, I had not heard of resistnet, but will check it out.

I guess now I'll have to start watching Beck while, planning my shopping trip to Whole Foods. Geez this activism by reverse boycotting and boycotting is starting to add up to a job in-of-itself to keep track of. How do the liberals do this day in and day out for their entire lives? No wonder that change causes as often as their underwear.

Thanks, Calico!

I agree with Beck on the czars - he's got some SCARY people in there.
