Van Jones went to prison for Rodney King riots (Went in in April, got out in August)

Eva Patterson, via FAIR. Van Jones plus attorney were sent out to monitor
peaceful march on 5/8/92. Police stopped march, arrested hundreds, including
Jones & attorney. Jones and attorney released in a few hours, City of San
Francisco paid them restitution

Winter Olympics cost city of Vancouver
$1 billion
Chicago has had to close government
for several days due to fiscal crunch
White House via Raw Story "Chicago has had one reduced service day in 2009
and will have 2 more; Friday after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.

If you go to the "Cash for Clunkers"
website the government will take over
your computer, own it, and all files on it
may be monitored and intercepted by
several law enforcement agencies
foreign and domestic

As an EE with a concentration in CS, I can assure you that this is technologically
impossible. But you would have to be paranoid to even think that it was possible.
How would the government monitor your files through your firewall, ISP port
monitoring, anti-virus software, and browser software? Why would anyone think
the government wants to monitor computers of people who use Cash for
Clunkers? Read the Consumer Bill of Rights on the website:

45% of doctors will quit the practice if
health care reform passes

Outright lie. Based on Investors Business Daily poll where 45% of doctors said
they will consider quitting, not actually quit. Further, the poll had a very low
response rate, only 1376 out of 25,600 asked. So it's like one of those AOL snap
polls\u2026 meaniingless PLUS misquoted. http://tinyurl.com/yjma4bl

You don't know if this (the H1N1
vaccine) is gonna cause neurological
damage like it did in the 1970s

Barely true, and out of context. This was based on a swine flu vaccine effort in
1976 that involved 45 million doses of flu vaccine. There were approximately
500 cases of Guillain-Barre that year, but there was no direct proof that the
vaccine caused the disease. However, even if it were true, it has been proven
that since then there is no link between vaccine and Guillain-Barre. So in context
with known facts, it's a lie. It's like saying "You don't know if you go to some
remote Pacific island you won't be shot by a Japanese soldier who hasn't heard
that WWII ended." Yeah, right. http://tinyurl.com/ykts8jv

9/3/2009 Van Jones is a "Truther"

Van Jones "is an avowed, self-avowed
radical revolutionary communist."

Van Jones was a member of STORM, which dissolved in spring 2002. Their
history of the organization is a fascinating look inside the organizational structure
of a communist revolutionary group. But Jones has left that line of thinking and
now believes that the only hope for survival comes from "eco-entrepreneurs" and
the thriving of their investment enterprises. Only the business community has the
[resources] to save us during this era where our very survival is on the line.
Glenn didn't read Van Jones' book "The Green Collar Economy", which he
clearly states that capitalism is the only system that can save us. No communism
there, Glenn. http://tinyurl.com/yklxq5r BTW, does Glenn believe that people
never change? That would make him a coke-snorting, drunken, wife-abusing
fool, wouldn't it?

No way of knowing, so that makes it at best speculation and at worst an outright
lie. Van Jones signed a petition in September 2004 that demanded a new
investigation into 9/11 to look at questions which are unanswered. Some say that
there are STILL unanaswered questions. I might have signed that petition,
especially in light of the fact that Bush/Cheney are known liars and they are not
afraid to take actions that cost human lives by the thousands. I don't think that
Jones is a "Truther" but like many of us who were on to Bush's lies early in the
game, I'm guessing that he still has a healthy skepticism about it. I do.

John Holdren, director of the White
House Office of Science and
Technology Policy, "has proposed
forcing abortions and putting sterilants
in the drinking water to control
population."

Holdren is co-author of a 1000 page book written in 1978 named Ecoscience:
Population, Resources, Environment. As an aside, if you go to Amazon the
capitalists are at it again, trying to get $400 for USED copies of it. What's
interesting is the anti-Obama, conspiracy theory screeds that "customers who
bought this item also bought". LOL. OK, the book cites overpopulation to be a
grave crisis. The book discusses various means to reduce fertility, including
putting sterilants in the drinking water. However, it NEVER advocates that
approach, and it NEVER advocates mandatory abortions. It just discusses those
ideas in the context of public policy, society, and laws. Again, Glenn Beck and
his cadre of liars are full of it. http://tinyurl.com/lcr22l

Net neutrality is the Obama
Administration's attempt to control the
internet and give away free televisions

In fact, "net neutrality" is an attempt to make sure that private businesses don't
gain the power to control what is currently a public internet system. The
corporations and corporate Astroturfer organizations and lobbyists are trying to
pass the "Internet Freedom Act" which does exactly the opposite of what its
name implies (John McCain is the sponsor, so no surprise about the Orwellian
"doublespeak" title of the bill). There is a lot of information about Net Neutrality
available. If you listen to the crap from the lobbyists, they make it sound as if
they are going to "innovate" the internet. Far from it... they simply want to
CHARGE for high speed traffic by SLOWING DOWN traffic from people who
don't pay fees. This is very dangerous, as it could lead to supression of news
unfriendly to those who pull the strings. That's why they are trying to pull them
now. As far as the "free TVs" thing, Glenn never explains it but I think it's
obvious that nobody has suggested that the government should give away free
TVs, radios, computers, or anything else.

Manufacturing "Czar" Ron Bloom called
a "Maoist"

Glenn likes to quote people out of context, as he did with Anita Dunn (discussed
elsewhere). In this case Bloom is speaking to a group of union activists and he
says "we kind of agree with Mao that political power comes from the barrel of a
gun". This is a statement of political reality, in a figurative sense, and the context
of the statement clearly shows that Bloom was not suggesting that if you want
political power you have to get a gun, or become a Maoist. This is an outright
FAIL of Beck that can be debunked by anyone who can Google the speech.
(Another reason why we need net neutrality). You can read the context of the
speech at Media Matters HERE... http://tinyurl.com/yjo9ccb

Obama engaged in a "coverup" of
Treasury Department documents from
March that show that the cost of cap-
and-trade on carbon would cost $1726
per household despite Obama saying it
will cost the price of a postage stamp
per day.

The $1726 figure is not from the Treasury Department, it's a number pulled from
the Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy and Security Act and twisted into a
pretzel by the overactive imagination of Drudge Report blogger Declan
McCullagh.Congress did not adopt Obama's plan as proposed in the State of
the Union speech, which would have cut taxes for working class families. (I love
the term "working class families". It's so PC. Shouldn't it be "working poor"?)
Obama's plan would have taxed polluters and given tax cuts to families. The EPA
estimates that the ACES Act will result in a net cost of about $100/day per
household which will be fully offset for low income families.The CBO numbers:

net cost of about $20 billion per year in 2020 and that results in $160 per
household.h ttp ://t inyu rl .co m/k n9 y4 6
