“…he has all those same attributes of being well-educated and he’s an electrifying speaker with an elite education,” said John Anner, “…[which is] for some people on the right…terrifying and threatening.”

Is he joking? I got a better education in my high school than this slug apparently got in his “elite” college. At least I know better than to call a large, heterogeneous group of powerful people, most of whom I don’t know, “A**holes” on video tape. At least not and continue to have aspirations of political success on any level.

And “electrifying speaker”? Surely you jest. I’ve heard carnival barkers with more eloquence…

“[T]errifying and threatening”? To small children and the terminally nervous, maybe. But to adults with even a modicum of sophistication? Hardly.

Jones is an extraordinarily important leader. He cares, passionately, about helping young men and women find their way in the world, even if they had the misfortune to grow up in bad neighborhoods or make bad choices — and he sees in a new green economy a powerful instrument to heal their lives. But that kind of hope is profoundly threatening to Glenn Beck and people like him. When it comes from a black man, they reach back to an old and ugly instinct.

This is a lynch mob in the making.

More often, however, the racism disguised as compassion: “You can’t do it because the odds are stacked against you. You have to get help from us. Vote me into office.”

Yup, I’m calling all those liberal pols who keep crying “racism” all the time… racists.

Because, clearly, there are too many examples of successful black, asian and hispanic individuals to believe that tripe.

For the “progressive” crowd to claim racism is patently absurd.

For most people in this country, the resignation was the first they had heard of Van Jones. For this sin of journalistic omission, there’s institutional media blame. Bias is too tame a word for the utter shamelessness on display: Only Republican scandals – real and imagined – matter.

And it’s not just those the Democratic-Media Complex dub as “mobs” or “tea baggers” that are taking notice. Diminishing audience and evaporating subscribership reflect widespread consumer dissatisfaction. Eventually, the money will run out.

But until then, the growing alternative media of Internet and talk radio and a burgeoning mass of justifiably angry Americans will make every effort to expose the sham that is mainstream journalism.

Obviously, it’s not that the Jones story wasn’t newsworthy. His racist rants, his radical background and his membership in a 9/11 “truther” group made for heavy-rotation YouTube viewing that would have immediately destroyed other mere mortals if the shoe were on the right – or white – foot.

Boy, do I love Bill Gates’ Excel spread sheet work

You heard it here first.

I will go so far as to say that from know on when we are called racists that it is a badge of honor and a job well done!
