I mean, where would would one even begin?

It is/was his personal opinion show.
I'm speaking about the facts he lays out. So many say they are lies, he would have been sued so many times if that were true.

BTW, You most certainly can get sued for your opinion, it is called slander.

No answer to what?!? I'm well aware of Van Jones' background. He's not evil. How does one analyze that further?

Raise the bar of discourse and I will join you.

Ah forget it, you purposefully let it go right over your head like you never saw it.

Yeah facts, those things you guys like to ignore. Like this fact.. If Beck lies so much like you say he does, he would have been fired a long, long time ago and would have many, many law suits to contend with. Here's another fact, none of that did or is happening to him.

Didn't see what? Best I can tell from watching a clip online just now is Van Jones was part of some peace rally after 9/11 questioning American policies that have oppressed minorities and dropped bombs around the world. That was certainly not a unique position.

I don't necessarily agree with the guy or know anything about the group gathered, but it certainly doesn't strike me as some "pro-terrorist" stance. Again, judging by the words spoken in a clip on a site designed to slander Jones, they speak of ending all violence and feeling anger for the attacks against our nation.

Maybe I'm missing something? Why does that make him evil?

Beck knows he can lie and get away with it due to a court ruling in which Murdoch convinced a judge that
FOX News is not news but entertainment, therefore they can lie all they want.
