Glenn Beck: Stop the Insanity by Josh Silver
In the last month, Beck launched a smear campaign against one of Obama’s top environmental advisers and forced his resignation. Van Jones is one of the great, principled leaders of our time, and he was unceremoniously hung out to dry while the White House quietly acquiesced to the agents of fear. via huffingtonpost.com I sometimes wonder if political attacks against one or the other are...
