Video: Glenn Beck screams about Van Jones and Obama
posted at 7:13 pm on September 1, 2009 by Allahpundit
Very frequently, I don’t understand where his manic exasperation’s coming from. But sometimes, I do.
First clip is the money bit from today’s 20-minute long harangue about Jones. The second clip is Jones himself from an appearance in February at Berkeley. There are all kinds of bon mots in the mix if you can spare the time to watch — Republicans are “assholes,” evidently — but if you can’t spare it, skip ahead until there’s about 30 seconds left.

And with commies like Jones, Barry, and his other czars, the racial divide grows wider with every passing day.
pcpower1 on September 1, 2009 at 7:16 PM
You just now figuring that out?
Fletch54 on September 1, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Van Jones goes after his advertisers, which gives him more time to go after Van Jones. Whoops.

“Your Post-Racial President”
Diversity! Respect! Affirmative Action! Hope! Change!
Andy in Agoura Hills on September 1, 2009 at 7:20 PM
Oh yeah, Charles Johnson did not approve GB’s message.
Andy in Agoura Hills on September 1, 2009 at 7:21 PM
Van Jones certainly has lots of hand gestures.
GoodBoy on September 1, 2009 at 7:21 PM
I heard Beck this morning on the radio. This Van Jones guy is a real creep. It’s Socialism in the white house folks. The demons are running the country.
portlandon on September 1, 2009 at 7:22 PM
And the MSM sleeps…
d1carter on September 1, 2009 at 7:22 PM
I thought his show today was one of his best, with the exception of the computer animated voices of the czars, which was really cheesy. I, like Glenn, cannot for the life of me understand why the Jones appointment hasn’t blown into a major scandal. Once again, where is the GOP???
noworldcitizen on September 1, 2009 at 7:23 PM
Van Jones is the coolest name evah (I had to say that b/c it is cool)…….too bad it is wasted on a communist bastard nutjob who thinks the EVIL WHITE MAN is poisoning all people “of color” thru pesticides. Freakshow now on display in the OFFAL office
Ris4victory on September 1, 2009 at 7:23 PM
Heartache.

Capitalism would be working a whole lot better without Obama and his czars buttwipe.

Instead of that Medicare abomination of an ad, they should immediately make the “republicans are @ssholes” ad showing The Ones continued associations with these morons.
Vigilante on September 1, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Yeah we DON’T HAVE capitalism. It’s a kleptocracy ruled by financial oligarchs.

they will prop this administration up until the bitter end….
cmsinaz on September 1, 2009 at 7:26 PM
Thank goodness for Glenn Beck. I love the passion and the research. Some people are put off with his antics, but I find it funny and it’s his style.
Glenn might be the only person to single-handily bring down this administration’s many minions. Good work Glenn!
cubachi on September 1, 2009 at 7:26 PM
Wow AP – a post on Beck, a post on Palin – now to add the coup de grace – a slam on Christianity and you will have a hat trick! All in a day’s work…i guess
johnnybgood on September 1, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Charlie Johnson has a
secretman crush on Van Jones.Ghostbuster on September 1, 2009 at 7:27 PM
I also was mildly annoyed by it, but I think I know why Glenn changed the voices–so we would focus more on the words that were spoken. As with Obama, it is easy to get caught up with how something is said, rather than pay attention to the actual words said.
lordsquirrel on September 1, 2009 at 7:27 PM
First time in my life than an avowed communist is a presidential adviser. Before this a self avowed communist couldn’t even become dog catcher. But not to worry MSM we have nothing to worry about. RIGHT?????????
buddylats on September 1, 2009 at 7:28 PM
Except that my posts on Beck and Palin both took their sides. Or do we not care about specifics anymore when we’re out to whine?
Allahpundit on September 1, 2009 at 7:29 PM
dang, can’t see video. crud.
upinak on September 1, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Yeah, I’d be pretty pissed at the guy too, if he was basically trying to ruin my life. Actually, he’s kinda trying to ruin all our lives, isn’t he? Van Jones = Communist scum.
Emily M. on September 1, 2009 at 7:30 PM
Just as upsetting is how Obama’s group of radical organizers are using the National Endowment for the Arts to work with the whitehouse on message delivery. Glen played a taped conference call with NEA members that allegedly included a whitehouse reprentative.
This has gone way past the scary stage. We are in the this has to be STOPPED NOW stage.
HoustonRight on September 1, 2009 at 7:30 PM
The crap about how illegal alien produce pickers are being sprayed with pesticides was so absurd it was almost funny. Apparently this guy has no idea how litigious illegal aliens are. If any of them were being sickened by pesticides, I guarantee you there would be multiple big-money lawsuits being filed against all the agricultural interests involved. The personal-injury plaintiffs’ bars in CA and AZ actively recruit in the illegal alien communities, and there are lots of willing takers for all sorts of injuries, real and imagined.
AZCoyote on September 1, 2009 at 7:30 PM
“How’s that capitalism working for ya this year”
What a jackass this guy is. Like the rest of them he thinks he’s operating on some higher level than the peons that must be herded and guided like sheep.
Lick my sack you douchenozzle.

yoda on September 1, 2009 at 7:31 PM
I was about to say the same thing, and defend you. Although, you know…we really don’t need an atheist post today.
Emily M. on September 1, 2009 at 7:32 PM
Yeah. Has a nice ring to it. Apparently everyone in the audience are in agreement by their response.
But, hey. I can come up with a much stronger term for Jones and his admirers.
But I don’t use vulgarities in public.
tru2tx on September 1, 2009 at 7:32 PM
Well, we did have one as Vice President under FDR (Henry Wallace.) Luckily FDR didn’t die during that term. But I get your drift. ;-)
rockmom on September 1, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Great show tonight. Off-Topic, but I thought the NEA stuff was a bit disturbing.
BierManVA on September 1, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Dr. Evilll and his little marxist rabble. To think this idiot has the ear of the President, but then again so did Rev Wright for twenty years. But don’t judge Obama by his associations, just judge him on his Obamaness.
eaglewingz08 on September 1, 2009 at 7:33 PM
I gotta hand it to Beck, he’s picked a helluva target.
The idea that Van Jones will ever be responsible for creating even a single “Green Job” is ludicrous. The position he holds is unconstitutional, unsupportable, and flat out absurd.
And Glenn Beck is the only one who’s even bothering to say anything about it at all.
WWS on September 1, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Where are the Republican’s?
There are no intellegent people in the Republican party. They can not argue with Obama because they are not that bright.
Example (from CSPAN interview w/former head of CMS, the medicare guys)…The average Dr. reimbursement rate in 1989 was $54 per hour…currently it is $55 per hour.
What kind of distorted minds want to destroy Doctors?
The Republican’s can’t seem to argue their way out of a paper bag…they tremble in fear of Big Media, Big Labor and the Good Government crowd.
They tremble in fear of Tom Friedman for g_d sake. They are not bright enough….very sad
r keller on September 1, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Yeah, your post might have managed to take the sides of Beck and Palin (somewhat) but your jealousy still manages to shine through. They play the main room in the luxury hotel while you stand on the street corner playing kazoo.
Percy_Peabody on September 1, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Even Glenn is asking where is ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN. He said he knows where NBC is.
Where is McCarthy when we need him? He was after communists in our government, too.
cjs1943 on September 1, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Van Jones makes Al Gore sound like a piker.

Although I do recognize and appreciate GB’s investigative tenacity, honesty, and exposition, I must confess that his histrionics just make me shake my head. There’s no doubt he has courage, but I keep wondering when his head is going to explode.

Well, it was doing just fine until the Marxist/Socialist Social Engineering policies of the Democrats forced banks to loan money to people who couldn’t pay it back, then bought and sold the notes to Wall Street through Fanny and Freddie, spreading the worthless paper all over the world for thirty years until it finally collapsed upon itself, taking the United States and world economies with it…
…Enemies of this country are at the highest levels of government power, and not a peep out of the main stream media.
Seven Percent Solution on September 1, 2009 at 7:37 PM
We will launch a sweeping effort to root out waste, inefficiency, and unnecessary spending in our government, and every American will be able to see how and where we spend taxpayer dollars by going to a new website called recovery.gov — because I firmly believe what Justice Louis Brandeis once said, that sunlight is the best disinfectant, and I know that restoring transparency is not only the surest way to achieve results, but also to earn back the trust in government without which we cannot deliver the changes the American people sent us here to make.
Barack Obama, January 28, 2009
Yes, Barack. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Enjoy the sunshine. It’s good for you.

The Washington junta is a threat to our nation. It will likely prove a fatal threat. Frankly, the marxist morons in the junta don’t deserve the benefit of a civilized society, as all they do is work to tear it down.
progressoverpeace on September 1, 2009 at 7:42 PM
It is a big mistake for anyone, on the right, left, or middle, to take Beck lightly. He is a highly intelligent, dedicated patriot. Yes, he is emotional. Yes, at times he screams, or cries, or uses wacky voices, but he is right in what he says, even if he is the only person in the media saying it.
He may be the Paul Revere of out time. I thank God for him and his willingness to investigate and shine the light of truth where most are too cowardly, uninformed, or evil to do so.

I was worried when Glenn intimated that he could not tell his audience something pertinent because he was fearful for the safety of his family……….THAT doesn’t sound good at all………I think this Obama nit wit is going to take this country off the deep end…………
Cinday Blackburn on September 1, 2009 at 7:44 PM
Glenn Beck is doing a fantastic job exposing Obama’s hand selected gang of Communist thugs and their future plans for our country.
Beck wasn’t screaming, he was sharing a true tale of horror that we all must face and defeat. I admire him for it.
sinsing on September 1, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Criticize him if you wish, but the time for Beltway Elitist Conservatism is past. We have a Marxist Administration in the White House. It’s time to get in the Political Trenches, boys and girls. Beck’s reaching a whole lot of people and creating a whole lot of buzz and it is about time someone did.
kingsjester on September 1, 2009 at 7:46 PM
Hahaha! I hear that’s Michelle Obama’s choice. She used to like Boones Farm Strawberry Hill but then she got all the way to Washington and her taste has. Um.. Evolved.
Key West Reader on September 1, 2009 at 7:46 PM
The NEA stuff was the most creepy, disturbing, upsetting thing I’ve heard in a long time. And that says a lot given I’ve heard the FCC czar say that freedom of speech gets in the way of more helpful communication policies. Honestly, our government has been radicalized. They don’t want the form of socialism that’s found in France, they want the South American form of “revolution”.
Weight of Glory on September 1, 2009 at 7:47 PM
That’s a bit much.
Thomas Paine of our time, I’d be willing to argue for.

A bunch of dangerous Marxist running around the WH is such a hot story – albeit dangerous, that it is actually great that the MSM is too busy kissing The Messiah body parts to pick up on it. After all, the less they are involved, the more real America is glued to Beck, Sarah, Rush, Laura I. etc.
Cinday Blackburn on September 1, 2009 at 7:47 PM

Weight of Glory on September 1, 2009 at 7:48 PM
As long as Obama’s polls keep diving Glenn and all the other conservatives can scream, hollar, cry, and whine all they want. God bless them all.
fourdeucer on September 1, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Well said.
Another point: One in every 100 Americans is tuning into his show and that probably doesn’t count the DVR’s and TIVO’s. I fear for his safety, but also trust the Almighty (not Obama) to protect him and his family.
Key West Reader on September 1, 2009 at 7:49 PM
Yeah, this guy is way out there alright…and I don’t think he’s all that bright….Beck was saying something today about how Jones is nothing but an out and out communist prick that’s trying to meld into the ‘Green Movement’ to hide it….
This country REALLY needs an enema….

Key West Reader on September 1, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Yeah. These Commie scum are trying to tear our country apart, and Charles seems more worried about the Creationist under his bed. Guess what, Charles? I believe God created the universe…Booga Booga Booga! Scary huh?
I had to stop going to LGF with all the evolutionist and anti-Beck threads over there. Beck, like him or not, is at least trying to shine some light on these race-baiting commie douche bags…
Battlecruiser-operational on September 1, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Many people are opening their eyes to this administration for the first time. Sure, Beck mostly is preaching to the choir but you don’t get ratings like that in that timeslot from just your base. He definitely has the pulpit to do some great things for this country.
I’ll admit it, his style doesn’t always appeal to me. Sometimes, even though I’ll agree with what he is saying, I wish he’d focus on some other things that are nearer and dearer to my heart. But those are quibbles. What really matters is substance. Whether he is sending the right message and whether he is delivering it in a way that gets heard and understood. On those counts he is coming through in a big way.
They tried marginalizing him already and what he is doing now is signaling to them that he isn’t one that is going to back down. He’s ratcheting it up another notch, which I wouldn’t have even thought possible. God bless Glenn Beck.

Key West Reader on September 1, 2009 at 7:53 PM
I get Beck’s frustration. He knows too much. No one but him is willing to admit what the HELL is happening.
He’s the lone voice screaming in the wilderness and watching his country falling into this filthy pit.
He’s desperate for others to take the helm and run with this.
