Glenn Beck, take a bow.
The news came out Sunday morning, shortly after midnight.
Breaking News on Twitter reported: CNN: White House green jobs czar Van Jones resigns, blames lies and “vicious smear campaign” against him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah…cry me a river, commie.
MORE:
“I am resigning my post at the Council on Environmental Quality, effective today,” Jones said in a resignation letter released by the CEQ late Saturday.
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide,” he said.
“I have been inundated with calls — from across the political spectrum — urging me to ‘stay and fight,'” he continued. “But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.
“It has been a great honor to serve my country and my President in this capacity. I thank everyone who has offered support and encouragement. I am proud to have been able to make a contribution to the clean energy future. I will continue to do so, in the months and years ahead.”
Next!
A bold prediction:
In the coming days, right wing smear merchants will be accused of being racists.
The last thing the the hard left wants, is for the American people to know what all the fuss was all about. It’s much better for them to obfuscate, point and call names.

UPDATE:
Well, that didn’t take long:
Redstate: And just like clockwork, the Van Jones race baiting begins
No one should be surprised at this at all, for apparently it is impossible for conservatives and/or Republicans to oppose anyone who isn’t white without spawning accusations of racism. As so many have written already in recent months, Obama’s so-called “post-racial” America is…not. And folks, it isn’t the conservatives and the GOP who brought this on – it is the leftists who cry “RACISTS!” every time something doesn’t go their way.
Here’s a clue, race-baiters: sometimes a person is just wrong, no matter what their melanin level, and that was clearly the case with Van Jones. Furthermore, on the czar-hunting front, I personally believe the next one we need to expose is John Holdren, Obama’s “science czar.” And guess what: he’s white.
This is the best news I have heard all day!
As far as Jones’ “resignation statement” goes – what a bunch of bullcrap! Jonesie the Commie was thrown under the ObamaBorg bus!
Congrats to Glenn Beck! He was the first, and ONLY ONE, who originally had the courage to expose this dangerous man! Thank you Glenn! Our nation of Patriots are very grateful to you!

Heartache. Gonna be fun to see what he says now that he is free to speak his, ahem, mind. No way can this clown keep his mouth shut for long.
Who’s next? I’d like it to be Valerie Jarrett.

Similar to Stop The ACLU, fortunately I was wrong about Van Jones departure (see Van Jones Bus Watch comments). Unlike Stop The ACLU, my analysis was also incorrect.
I still agree with Anthony Martin (So what if Van Jones resigns? – http://tinyurl.com/kw243u):
“The problem with this Administration is that it is so far outside the mainstream of political thought in America that the citizens are prone to be fooled into thinking that a victory such as the resignation of Van Jones or the deletion of a public option from the healthcare bill are tantamount to winning the war.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The reason is that Obama has loaded up his Administration with so many extremists that they come a dime a dozen. One can easily be replaced with another, except the next time he will have learned to choose someone whose extremism is much more carefully hidden and couched in more moderate rhetoric.”

It is simply amazing that this guy, in typical liberal fashion, says that “lies and distortions” were being used to “distract and divide,” in a vicious smear campaign against him. Geez, there are countless videos and audios, etc. of his ideals and his spouting off his radical b.s.

Glenn is welcome to take the credit for Jone’s fall, but I rather think that the blogosphere did a lot of the BG on that commie puke before Fox/Beck picked it up and ran with it.
But again … Beck had the national exposure required to bring the issue in front of the public. I rather suspect he is now the primary target of any upcoming [UN]”fairness doctrine” policy by the FCC – perhaps ahead of Rush.
