I was listening to this idiot today and he is willing to say anything to discredit Van Jones. Some of the things he has talked about today are just absurd. Trying to link Van Jones to just about anything negative he can come up with. Loser!
Do you have one with Beck that you would listen to someone you think is an idiot?
The "Jail" Van Jones refers to in the quote Glenn Beck distorted, was the holding cell after the protests that he was released from after a few hours.
But you just quoted the whitewash from Huffington Post. I think that I would prefer to see some more proof like from Daily Kos. Can you come up with something like that?
Have you bothered to watch that keynote speech I posted in the opening post? You should and 20 minutes won't pain you any more than it did me. It is so full of racial crap that everybody should get to hear it.
Well, prove it then. Because what you are saying is that corporations/factories drive their toxic garbage into minority neighborhoods, right?
Well, bs. No factory is importing its toxic waste into the hood. What is a more likely scenario is that neighborhoods that spring up around factories house the workers of said factories. Typically rich people do not work at factories - poor people do. Thus, poor people live in areas that may or may not have toxicity.
That would be an accurate description - not white people are sneaking into minority neighborhoods in the dark of night in order to spike the soil with lead. Seriously, pull your head out.
I wish that it wasn't so easy to find examples, but, here you go:
" Environmental racism can be defined as the intentional siting of hazardous waste sites, landfills, incinerators, and polluting industries in communities inhabited mainly by African-American, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, migrant farm workers, and the working poor. Minorities are particularly vulnerable because they are perceived as weak and passive citizens who will not fight back against the poisoning of their neighborhoods in fear that it may jeopardize jobs and economic survival."

But you just quoted the whitewash from Huffington Post. I think that I would prefer to see some more proof like from Daily Kos. Can you come up with something like that?
Sorry, you're wrong. I should have included the link, that's not from the HuffPo, it was directly from the paper he gave the interview to, the East Bay Express. It's not whitewash, it's the direct quote.
He also joined a "9/11 Truthers" movement! (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/03/green-jobs-advisers-past-stir-trouble-white-house-critical-time/ - broken link) He's another Obama looney!
Is anyone questioning Obama as to why he has a Communist in the white house?
Glenn Beck is doing that but Democrats refuse to watch him so they don't know what he is doing. Of course, the White House is watching his every move but they aren't answering any of his questions, especially this kind.
OK, from I've read (and sorry, don't have the time to make it through all thirteen pages) is that Ford first littered it's own compound, then hired out the removal of paint 'sludge' to independent contractors who convinced farmers to bury it as well as having the mob dumping it wherever and whenever it could.
Horrible ecological practices? You bet. The deliberate poisoning of minorities? No way in hell.
NOT soon enough, I'm afraid. The pollutant is already in the water, gonna be very, very hard to clean up the stink.
