Obama's environmental czar started group targeting Beck
President Obama's "green jobs czar" is co-founder of an African-American activist organization that has led a campaign prompting major advertisers to withdraw from Glenn Beck's top-rated Fox News Channel program.
In recent weeks, Beck has done several critical segments about Van Jones, who was appointed as the special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
Beck's segments were based in part on WND's reporting that Jones was an admitted radical communist and black nationalist leader.
Now Colors of Change, an activist organization seeking to "strengthen Black America's political voice" has led a furious campaign against Beck culminating in such major companies as Geico and Lawyers.com pulling their spots from the Fox News star's daily show. The group also says it has garnered about 75,000 signatories for an online petition against Beck to be sent to advertisers.
Colors of Change says the controversy stems from Beck's recent comment that Obama is a "racist" with "a deep-seated hatred for white people."
The organization did not return a WND request for comment about whether its crusade is tied to Beck's recent reporting about Van Jones' radical connections. Read the rest here.
