Hatred from the right? I seem to remember the Kerry supporters throwing a fit about President Bush coming to speak at the Falls Natatorium. The truth is that both parties have worked together to create this situation, with factions from the respective far end of each doing anything they can to fuel dissent.

Most people I know are moderates, who lean a little bit one way or the other.

Conservatives refuse to acknowledge information exists, if they can not explain it. Conservatives cannot explain why Israel is allowed to openly violate U.N agreements continually, yet Muslim nations should be punished for their alleged violations. Conservatives cannot give answers to numerous 9-11 questions still unanswered, yet if a liberal points that out, then, for some reason, the liberal is disturbed. I could give many more examples.

That's why conservatives don't like Van Jones. He points out stuff conservatives do not acknowledge exists. Van Jones is an intelligent, highly educated, articulate black man, like President Obama. And that's why the wingnut right is celebrating so boisterously about bringing down a lower tier level appointee. Like savage native tribes, the wingers are dancing around a big sacrificial bonfire where a surrogate Obama has just been gutted.

But it's not about race.

That's an awful lot of psycho-babble, alchemist.

Rev says, "Van Jones' views are correct."

Now, THAT is a sign of an obviously disturbed person. Which of Van Jones' views are correct ? The communist ones, the racist ones, the anti-semitic ones, the Truther ones, the "a-hole" ones, the violent ones, or what ?

Insightful, alchemist.

It is very troubling that a major cable network would feature such an obviously disturbed person.

Mental illness runs in Beck's family–his mother and brother suffered from depression and committed suicide, and he himself considered suicide in the mid-90s. I believe he is mentally unstable – I have siblings, cousins, and a aunt with diagnosed serious mental illness and he exhibits lots and lots of the symptoms I have seen over the years in dealing with my family. He is also very intelligent and uses what his mind sees as reality to make lots of money and influence people who have some of the same issues he has. I have a sibling just like him and another sibling just like one of his followers. The two of them "do their little dance" – I can not permanently influence either one of them. I just go pick up the pieces when one or the other ends up in the psych ward for a stay. Beck alarms me and I wish he were not in the position of influence that he is and I feel sorry for him. He as a tormented mind.

Van Jones' views are correct.

Glenn Beck has a mental problem, he is unstable, and he is an ignorant divider of the American people. Conservatives celebrating the resignation of Van Jones are following in Beck's footsteps. Why would anyone choose, by following the words of a total crackpot-nut, to have a mental problem, be unstable and ignorantly divide Americans? I mean, ….why choose to go down that perilous path?

Okay, maybe not a perfect description. You left out racist, anti-semitic, communist, 9/11 Truther, and violent.
