Van Jones Calls End Of Glenn Beck’s Fox Show A ‘Triumph Of American Capitalism’

As Beck leaves Fox under fire from his bosses at the network and upset sponsors, Jones praised the free market system for ridding the airwaves of Beck.

“Good American businesses make a decision about who they want to associate their brands with,” he said. “And if you violate the principles of good discourse and fair play in America, good American businesses will not stay with you and you won’t stay in the public square very long.

"So it’s not just a triumph of American capitalism,” Jones said. “It’s a triumph of American values.”

Glenn Beck versus James O’Keefe

Why does Glenn Beck insist on getting Niemoller’s famous poem wrong?

Glenn Beck has a history of appropriating Martin Niemoller’s famous poem, “First They Came…” – one of the most memorable descriptions of the creep of Nazi totalitarianism – for his own purposes, often by way of describing his own self-martyrdom, because of course it’s really about people like him.

From Crooks and Liars

The simple answer is that he really probably doesn’t know the full quote and can’t be bothered to look it up. He knows it has something to do with Jews and then the Nazi coming for the someone. And nothing else.

From Salon.com

Almost as funny as the Did Glenn Beck rape and murder a young girl in 1990? Not that I think Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990, I’m just a regular guy asking questions. But isn’t it odd that he has never said that he didn’t rape and murder a young girl in 1990? Hey, I just want to know the truth.
