Adriana Huffington makes a great point with this story…
Thank you, Glenn Beck. By helping force the resignation of Van Jones, you have done a great service to your country. But in the exact opposite way than what you intended. Your vile and vicious smear campaign has helped reverse one of the worst examples of miscasting since John Wayne took on the role of Genghis Khan in The Conqueror. Don’t get me wrong: Van Jones was the best person for the job he just gave up. But the job was not the best use of Van Jones.
Contrary to the media caricature, the real Van Jones is a thoughtful leader who knows how to use words to move people to action. To stick him behind a desk, working out the details of tax credits for green jobs — incredibly important though the job is — was never the best use of his unique and abundant skills.

I don’t know Van Jones as well as Arianna. Sadly, I had to rely on the media
like FOX. Most of the other main stream media prefer does not think that Van Jones is important enough to inform us about what he likes about America.
I viewd the videos( not a man made cartoon) and listened to his remarks and watched his body language. I concluded that Glenn Beck told the truth based on Van Jones personal comments. I know I didn’t have a cup of coffee with him of perhaps a sandwich with him i.e. perhaps a BLT;the ingredients of course picked by poor immigrants that were half dead from the chemical fertilizer. I guess Arrianna’s fertilizer is best:: compost. or some other organic home grown stuff from dirt.. Sorry, I never met him in real life..just on TV. I wish I knew him better because I’m kinda stuck where I am now.
