Obama's environmental czar started group targeting Beck

[cvtrapper]

President Obama's "green jobs czar" is co-founder of a black activist organization that has led a campaign prompting major advertisers to withdraw from Glenn Beck's top-rated Fox News Channel program.

In recent weeks, Beck has done several critical segments about Van Jones, who was appointed as the special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

Beck's segments were based in part on WND's reporting that Jones was as an admitted radical communist and black nationalist leader.

Now Colors of Change, an activist organization seeking to "strengthen Black America's political voice" has led a furious campaign against Beck culminating in major companies such as Geico and Lawyers.com pulling their spots from the Fox News star's daily show. The group also says it has garnered about 75,000 signatories for an online petition against Beck to be sent to advertisers.

Colors of Change says the controversy stems from Beck's recent comment while a guest on another Fox News show that Obama is a "racist" with "a deep-seated hatred for white people."

Bill Shine of Fox News' programming department clarified Beck was expressing "a personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the Fox News Channel. And as with all commentators in the cable news arena, he is given the freedom to express his opinions."

I am so tired of "activism" on the part of any particular group. The only group of people in this country who are not allowed an "activist group" are middle class white people.

Black groups, women's groups, Asian groups, Mexican groups. Jeeeez. They all want to be equal, yet keep separating themselves into groups.

The middle aged white male is the largest minority in this country with the advent of all this political correctness.

That's because they are too smart to waste all their time whining and complaining about things and have to earn enough money to pay for all the ones that are whining and complaining.
