“Liberals can understand everything but people who don’t understand them.”
Lenny Bruce – Liberal Comedian and Free Speech Pioneer
The fact that I have to write this post sickens me to my core. What I consider a racist organization, founded by a communist ex-con named Van Jones has pulled out all of the stops and enlisted the help of thousands of people to call on sponsors of Glenn Beck and Fox News to pull their advertising dollars. Sadly, this attack on free speech by “Color Of Change” is working. That’s why we all need to visit DefendGlenn.com, SupportGlennBeck.com and KeepGlennBeck.com so we can contact as many of these companies as possible. Here’s a list with links straight to their contact pages:
Ally Bank – Best Buy - Geico – CVS – ConAgra
Lawyers.com – P&G – Roche – Sanofi-Aventis
RadioShack – Men’s Warehouse – Sargento – Travelocity
Here’s one example of a message I delivered via web form, feel free to copy:
I am simply STUNNED by the fact that GEICO has let a racially motivated hate group like “Color For Change” persuade such a trusted and established company like GEICO to pull advertising from the Glenn Beck program. All that is missing from this nightmare of a scenario is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson leading a parade to celebrate their victory.
It is quite obvious to me and millions of other Americans that GEICO has done ZERO research on the accusations pointed at Glenn Beck. Instead, you have capitulated to the threats of violence or fear of racially motivated mob mentality. I pray that GEICO reconsiders its actions and stands up to Chicago-style intimidation and. Because that is what you have caved in to.
Where were these angry phone callers and e-mailers when:
- Bill Maher said “if [VP Cheney] did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.”
- Keith Olbermann said Dick Cheney is “as insane as any terrorist“
- Chris Matthews said “Sarah Palin – now don’t laugh – is writing a book. Not just reading a book, writing a book. Actually, in the word of the publisher, she’s ‘collaborating’ on a book. What an embarrassment! It’s one of these ‘I told you,’ books that jocks do.
- Olbermann also said of George W Bush: “You would not merely be guilty of siding with the terrorists. You would not merely be guilty of prioritizing the telecoms over the people… You would not merely be guilty of treason, sir… You would be personally, and eternally, responsible. We will not fear the recognition of the manipulation of our yearning for safety — we will call it what it is: terrorism.”
Oh wait… all of those comments were about white people. They were said by liberals. Therefore they don’t matter. Does anyone else reading this remember the days when Liberals fought FOR free speech? Excuse me libs, but I think it is possible to disagree with a black person while not being a racist. In other words: I despise president Obama because he is 100% liberal, NOT because he is 50% black.
Now for some organizational background.
Who is Van Jones? He is currently serving as Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (he’s Obama’s “Green” Czar). He’s from rural Tennessee, he went to Yale, he was arrested during the Rodney King riots, and he’s a communist activist. Here’s a sample of his personality:
While in jail Van Jones said that “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’ I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary. I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th. By August, I was a communist.”
What is Color of Change? It “exists to strengthen Black America’s political voice. Our goal is to empower our members—Black Americans and our allies—to make government more responsive to the concerns of Black Americans and to bring about positive political and social change for everyone.” Sounds like a nice, inclusive club. It reminds me a little of the Black Liberation Theology. formerly practiced by a guy named Doctor Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Color of Change is currently led by James Rucker. Before leading CoC he served as Director of Grassroots Mobilization for MoveOn.org and was instrumental in developing and executing on fund raising, technology, and campaign strategies. I wonder if he had a hand in any of the unethical fund raising techniques deployed by Team Obama. During the campaign he was “disgusted by Fox’s sustained attacks and smears on Barack Obama.” I’d like to see him list a single example. I won’t hold my breath.
So PLEASE contact these companies. It only takes a few minutes, yet means so much.
