Glenn Beck - 1 Obamabots - 0

The first thing I heard this morning when I woke up was that Barry O's so-called Green Czar, Van Jones has resigned. We have heard a lot of about Van Jones in the last week, but actually this man was first brought to our attention by Glenn Beck on his show on the Fox News network.

What has been under reported is the connection between Van Jones and an organization called the Color of Change. Van Jones was one of the founders of that organization and that is the very same organization which is leading the advertiser boycott of the Glenn Beck show.

Van Jones (Co-founder, inactive)

While Van hasn't been active in the work of ColorOfChange in recent years, we are proud of where his work has led him. After helping ColorOfChange get started in 2005, Van moved on to other pursuits. In 2007, he founded and served as the executive director of Green For All, an organization dedicated to creating opportunities for low-income communities connected to the greater effort of addressing climate change. Van now serves as Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

It would seem to me that those companies who pulled their advertising now have some explaining to do.

You can just add this guy to a long list of people that Barack has handpicked as friends and confidants, who so many in the media have chosen to ignore and certainly raise a lot of questions about the real character of the man chosen to lead this nation.

I used to listen to Glenn on the radio and I certainly watched him when he had his show on Headline News, but it seems since moving to Fox a lot of the humor is gone from personality, which is what attracted me to him, so I don't watch or listen as much anymore. In fact I think the first show of his I ever heard was on the radio dealt with his trials and tribulations with the Connecticut drivers license bureau. It had me cracking up so bad at the office that I had to quit listening.

Here's hoping Glenn can find that rodeo clown again.

Color This Change

Recently an organization called Color of Change has taken exception with some things that Glenn Beck has said on his show on Fox News, so they started blackmailing, (can I say that?) companies that advertised during his time slot. They are claiming a lot of success and maybe they are having some effect, but not the one they wanted.

Glenn's ratings continue to soar, even though his show airs at 5 pm EST when a lot of us are stuck in rush hour traffic coming home from our job. Well those of us that still have one after the resounding success of the stimulus package has had.

Beck attracted 2.81 million viewers Monday, his third-largest audience since his show launched on Fox News in January, according to Nielsen Media Research data provided by the network. On Tuesday, nearly 2.7 million viewers tuned in, his fifth-largest viewership to date. And the conservative host got a plug from former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who urged people to watch his program in a post on her Facebook page.

While the Color of Change is bragging about their success I would sort of take that with a grain of salt. The companies have not pulled their advertising from Fox, rather Fox has simply moved those commercials to different times, so they continue to reap the benefits of those advertising dollars. The second part is without all of those commercials Glenn now has more time to conduct interviews and have his say, so in essence these idjits have given Glenn more air time to take this administration to task and ask those disturbing questions about Barry O's "friend", who are now political appointees.


If this is victory they must have a really good definition of defeat, I am thinking something along the lines of what happened to the Romans at the hands of Hannibal at The Battle of Lake Trasimene.
