I don't think that the media is either left or right. They are an equal opportunity basher. Too many are sensationalists. True news is rare.

0bama also was not bothered in 2001 when Ayers said he did not regret setting bombs, and wished he had done more.

0bama served as the chairman of the Annenberg Foundation for seven years with Bill Ayers, seems like 0bama knew him pretty well by this time.

0bama and Ayers also worked together for three years on the nine member board of the Woods Fund.

0bama and Ayers are twp peas in the same pod, and 0bama only reinforces this perception by appointing people just as radical as Ayers to his executive administration.

Do you do full ideological background checks on everyone with whom you have dinner?

Come on - non issue created as a propaganda piece by radical right wing media.

Stick to important issues rather than dragging this mud up all the time.

If I were planning a career in politics, yes.

Truly became an issue when denials and then revisions of denials were issued.

And these issues are decided on by only you?

What you decide is unimportant may be of great importance to someone else.

If you deny it, you are making it an issue

Not important when there's no real relationship there. This is such an old story. The guy's a professor. Go gripe to his students.

Haha... so "they" asked him to not mislabel someone's title. That's it, that's all. The previous claim, therefore, was false. (I'd like Beck to identify who from the WH is emailing him - probably just a staff intern, but Beck needs to make it sound like he has the ear of the Wh).

The funny thing about Beck and all these people who become radically ideological is that they always are emerging from some addiction - Bush and Beck were alcoholics, most religious zealots were addicted to drugs or sex or alcohol. Resistance to other ideas (be they political or religious or racial or whatever) is far more rooted in a psychological need to control one's environment when that individual has minimal control over it than it is anything pure.

Ideology aside, is it really bad to stop raping our forests, stop pumping a 5,000 square mile pesticide dead zone into the Gulf of Mexico, fighting wars over natural resources, and breaking treaties with Native Americans over resources on their own land?

Here are the facts: poor, minority communities have higher concentrations of toxins. That's something that needs to be fixed, not ignored.

I just don't get what Beck is fighting with his rant against Van Jones. He's creating bogey arguments that have nothing to do with what Van Jones is actually saying or even implying.

I worry about Beck's viewers who clearly lack discernment. No thinking person would ever jump to the conclusions Beck does in this propaganda piece.

So in your opinion if the guy is a professor he cannot possibly be a bad guy?

Rather naive.

Oh yes, I see that you avoided answering the question.
