Your Moment Of Glenn: Beck Goes After Jarrett, Instructs NYT To Take Notes

video
» 9 comments

Sometimes it seems like Glenn Beck closes his eyes throws a dart at the White House staff list and voila! He has his next target. Or maybe he’s just looked at his ratings and decided he’s got the clout to play in the big leagues. Either way, looks like senior adviser Valerie Jarrett is the latest to step into Beck’s direct line of fire…more commonly known as his chalkboard.

Beck employed his chalkboard to great effect today to highlight Jarrett’s (and one presumes, the President’s) connection with Russia, Che Guevara, and…Van Jones (Darth Vader makes a late appearance). Less directly with “sad Al Gore.” Short version (I think) is that Obama’s inner circle might benefit from Chicago getting the 2016 Olympics and this is the real reason the Obamas are in Copenhagen.

Jarrett is the biggest fish Beck has yet gone after in the Obama administration and he’s hitting close to home — Jarrett is indeed very close to the Obama’s and has close ties with them that date back many years. Considering the White House blog took the unusual step of pushing back today over yesterday’s coverage of 2016 Olympic, one wonders how they will react to today’s inner circle parsing.

    Valerie Jarrett was always in Beck’s crosshairs. This isn’t a new name…

    Beck clearly subscribes to the kitchen sink method of broadcasting.
    And because he thinks he’s the NYTimes, I wonder what Bernie Goldberg would say.

    “Sometimes it seems like Glenn Beck closes his eyes throws a dart at the White House staff list and voila! He has his next target.”

    Really? THAT’S how you think Beck finds his targets? Either you’re unfamiliar with his targets, or you think that everyone in the White House is target-able for their associations and comments they’ve made. Hmm. Which is it… which is it…?

    Great point, Junk. Don’t work too hard.

    He played the kids singing about Barack Obama again? It’s pretty well known now that they sang it along with songs about other Presidents; lyrics were sent to parents in advance and no a single parent protested before, during and after the event.

    However, once again, more hilarious conspiracy rantings by Beck. He’s morphing into Alex Jones day by day.

    By the way, here’s how you properly pronounce Glenn Beck’s name:

    Say “Glenn”, put your index finger on your lips, make a vocal noise while you flap your index finger up and down, finish by saying “eck”.

    “It’s pretty well known now that they sang it along with songs about other Presidents.” Is it? Could it be that this really wasn’t the case, but was conveniently said afterward as a way of ‘rationalizing’ a wrong into a right? How ‘pretty well known’ is that little fanciful tale of yours?

  • ImNotBlue

    Actually… there are now at least TWO instances of songs sung by public school children. So which are you talking about M? Or are you uninformed?
