MSNBC and FoxNews.com are reporting this tonight. Few details as yet. Story now up at Foxnews.com (h/t izoneguy)
Interesting time to be turning in one’s resignation – midnight Saturday night, on a holiday weekend. I guess this gives the MSM a chance to not report it again…
UPDATE #1
Ironically, the first info to trickle out seems to be from the Washington Post, who ignored the entire story for quite some time before finally posting a story yesterday.
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide,” he said.

Like I said upthread this story is going to go on through Tuesday! The NAACP will be calling us racists by the morning.
The problem for Obama is the oldstream media did not show how radical he was or he would never have beaten Hillary. They protected him and in his and his freakshow friends minds they think America voted for radicalism when the reality is when American’s find out how radical they are they are horrified and so as the drip, drip, drip of the backgrounds and statements of these freaks get out Americans DEMAND they are removed. 2010 my friends will be a blowout to stop these tools from exacting their insanity on America!

In the Breitbart story Drudge is linking, there is a statement made by Rep. Mike Pence:
“His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate.”
Actually Jones’ views have THE PERFECT place in this administration. I think what Pence meant or should have said was, “…in a presidential administration…” He can’t say that but we know the truth, don’t we? Jones is the perfect face for the true ideology of this administration. I guess they’ll have to work harder next time on hiding the truth.

avgamerican (Diary) Sunday, September 6th at 11:23AM EST (link)Mr president why do you have an FCC chairman who is promoting the socialist revolutionist Hugo Chavez in Valenzuela? I won’t wait for a teleprompter campaign speech for an answer. I never believed your explanation on Jeremiah Wright and no matter what you say on Jones, Lloyd, Ayers, and every other wing nut friend of yours, I wouldn’t believe it. You have no business being our president. The charade is over. Even the independents see you for what you really are.
Next!

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

Never mind that the news release of this was in the lo-dark hours of a 3 day weekend originally designed by LABOR UNIONS, Never mind that it was not on a typical Friday news dump after 5:00.
What is MOST telling about the timing of this resignation release is that it won’t see front page ink in national papers. Imaging the Sunday Editionof WaPo or NYT: OBAMA CZAR THROWS SELF UNDER BUS. A headline that could live for forever. No, no ink whatsoever. Sunday papers were already printed and in the distribution network. None print EXTRAs anymore. Labor day papers are nothing but pre-printed fluff, just waiting for the overtime paid pressmen to run on Sunday night, and Tuesday papers won’t be much better.
This story is INTERNET and TeleProMpter (see: TOTUS) based only.

Listening to Brokaw and Friedman decry the
janis (Diary) Sunday, September 6th at 11:27AM EST (link)internet and citizen journalists this morning on “Meet the Depressed” was certainly priceless. They babbled on disapprovingly about how you can read most any thing on the internet and most of it’s not true.
Which compares nicely to how you can read the NYT and find nothing at all, or how you can read a story and find so little truth that it would fit in a thimble. These guys are really pissed that us little guys are not buying what they’re selling.
Yes, Mark Lloyd needs to be next. After this episode, on top of this past summer’s citizen revolts, talk radio and the ‘net will be next on the chopping block.

Bye, bye, Mr. Jones.
The only thing keeping the leadership of the DNC in power is that the media is still doing for them what they could no longer do for Mr. Jones.

They didn’t think you all and the right media would work so hard on such a little guy. They won’t make that mistake again.
But he’s not out of the circle of influence by any means. That is the great thing about “advisors” they aren’t vetted and they don’t really hurt you when you dump them, unlike VP’s or cabinet members.
This is a feint. “See look at us, we are as moderate as you! Honest!”
Of course it doesn’t explain the rest of the far left looney tunes running around the White House like characters out of a Three Stooges movie.
If Beck didn’t have a target on him yesterday, he does today.

Or that without any coverage whatsoever in the MSM, we could bring him down.
They won’t make that mistake again.
I bet we get at least three more instances of them believing that their buddies in the MSM can shield them by spiking stories. If they didn’t figure out after the Swift Vets that the MSM can no longer control what the public finds out, it’s going to be several years more before they do. Old habits die hard.

Defintely smart going after Beck.
johnt Sunday, September 6th at 10:35AM EST (link)Brilliant ! And don’t think it was a pure solo by the racist nut Jones.
Maybe if the fools in the WH keep this up eventually it will hit them that tactically it’s suicide to pick fights with talk show hosts, advantaged as they are with their own platforms from which to counter attack.
The racist nut Jones might still be around otherwise had he not drawn attention to his twisted self. Not that he’s any different from the other nut cases and droollers in this so called administration.

Out of position in name only
avgamerican (Diary) Sunday, September 6th at 11:04AM EST (link)This only proves one thing. Glenn Beck is right. Feel very concerned folks, very concerned. To the moderates and independents out there and those who thought Obama was a moderate, the guy you voted for really has been keeping close company with your enemies and shares their views. Now get your head out of the sand and pay attention. These left wing nuts should never win another election. I say the person we need to declare war on next is George Soros and moveon.org.
Jones won't miss a payday. The Dems/Left
Achance (Diary) Sunday, September 6th at 11:22AM EST (link)have a vast shadow government of non-profits, government contractors, unions, etc. where people like Jones move seamlessly in and out of government. He will continue to have influence over the Administration; really all he loses is the federal title that gives him somewhat more legitimacy and a budget that he doesn’t have to go out and beg for.

izoneguy (Diary) Sunday, September 6th at 11:27AM EST (link)You are correct that is why Congress needs to look into the issue of Czars and where the money goes. ACORN needs to be shut-down – or at least the money the feds throw at need to be stopped.
George Soros may think twice if he had to fund the whole left wing with little to show for it.

We had the Congress from '94, or at least one body,
Achance (Diary) Sunday, September 6th at 11:35AM EST (link)and we had the WH for eight years. During that time we never took a single step to stop feeding the hand that bites us; federal money just kept pouring out both directly to the non-profits, grantees, contractors, etc. and indirectly through state and local governments with little accountability in the Red states and none at all in the Blue states.
Republican officeholders financed what may prove to be the demise of free-market democrach in this Country. Give me a small team of auditors and I’ll put ANY Democrat front group out of business and put quite a few of them in jail. That said, no elected or appointed Republican would allow you to do it because they’d be afraid to be called partisan, mean-spirited, racists, etc.

ZootSuit (Diary) Sunday, September 6th at 11:32AM EST (link)Why should anyone be surprised by this. Look at who Obama’s “advisors” have been all through the years.
Marxiists, revolutionaries, and black people so self-conscious about their success that they actually begin to hate America and the American values that make their success possible.

Zoot, I don't think our side was surprised by this.
