Wow, pretty strong comments about Glenn I read at WND. You know there used to be the one on one fight thing that was respected. Do you remember that?
Clearly Jones spoke out against Glenn and picked a fight. Did he not?
As a matter of fact Glenn did not call on Jones to step out there into the ring, Jones made a professional adult decision to enter the ring on his own. Correct?
So why blast Glenn for clearly standing up for himself? You sir, would do the same.
You said that Jones was forced to resign, which is clearly a lie. You need to report the facts properly. I know he wasn’t forced out because he said so, as well as all the other big talking liberals reported after the news broke out.
Yes, yes I know you are going to say he was forced out and that nobody knows what happens behind closed doors. But, were you there behind those closed doors so that you could report the truth or are you just guessing?
While I disagree with your opinions about Van Jones being railroaded out of his job (I believe his own words and past actions caught up with him), I can understand supporters of Jones having that opinion. However, your comments about Glenn Beck’s “own avowed history with alcohol and drug addiction” went way too far. Actually, it sounded rather ignorant. If you knew anyone who was in recovery with the help of a 12 step program, the answer to the “serious question” you ask – “Why believe a recovering alcoholic and drug addict?” would be obvious.
