This past weekend at Nutroots 2011, communist Van Jones attacked Glenn Beck and challenged him to a debate.
Today Glenn Beck responded to the challenge, “We’ll debate when you’re honest.”
Huffington Post has more:
Glenn Beck responded to Van Jones’ debate challenge by calling Jones an “unrepentant Communist revolutionary” and refusing to debate him.
Jones, who was driven out of the White House by Beck’s campaign against him, challenged Beck to a debate on Saturday at the Netroots Nation conference.
On his Monday radio show, Beck repeated his charges against Jones, and said he had never made any untruthful claims about him.
“He is an unrepentant Communist revolutionary,” Beck said. “He is a guy who stands with cop-killers. Period.”
He also declined to debate Jones–for now.

Obama didn’t know Van Jones was a Commie. That is for sure.
FurryGuyJeans commented:
While I am no fan of Beck, his over-the-top antics are more than a bit irritating, at the very least Glen doesn’t out-right lie and demagogue.
Got Billy Ayers on Speed Dial commented:
Absolutely right.
Beck should not elevate Van Jones to his level nor shrink himself to match Van Jones.
Van Jones doesn’t deserve to stand on the same floor with patriotic Americans.
FurryGuyJeans commented:
Just like Barry never heard any inflammatory rhetoric from Reverend Wright in 20 years as he warmed his butt in a pew?
I think more likely is that Obama doesn’t care that Van Jones is a Commie. They both seem simpatico on destroying America.
GUS commented:
Van Jones was going to create all of those GREEN JOBS and Beck ruined that. Van Jones is very very good at Green stuff I hear.
Morris771 commented:
Van Jones is extremely ignorant asking someone to come into a crowd of communist Nutrooters who have on several occasions threatened Beck’s life. It would be a logistical nightmare trying to protect Beck from these insane progressive communist so I understand him turning down such an offer. He should have asked for a debate at a neutral site with tight security so that the nut jobs stay away. But that is not the way Progressive’s or Communist play. They only like it when the crowd is like them and not split down the middle so it is even for both of them. It would be a waste of time exchanging oxygen within the same room with this idiot Van Jones.

What is Beck afraid of?
GUS commented:
Van Jones is human excrement. He’s a “dead ender”. But he’s a darling of LIBTARDS. LIBTARDS get used by the very politicians they support.
rabble-rouser commented:
I’d pay good $$ to that debate. Beck would wipe the floor w/Van Jones.
Fuzzlenutter commented:
I see absolutely no benefit for Beck to “debate” this lying commie bastard. None whatsoever.
Jones’ dim-witted ass-clown followers will believe whatever he tells them to believe…
succotash commented:
There are people who comment on this site who are much smarter than I so please enlighten me. Van Jones has absolute rage in his voice. Does he want violence in America? What is his agenda besides green jobs and communism?
Wm T Sherman commented:
The rest of his agenda consists of looking out for Number One.
You don’t think he’s committed to a life of poverty, do you? He wants to live large off our tax money.
USMC Thomas commented:
Beck doesn’t need to provide a platform for attention whore Van Jones. Let him stew in his own ignominy.
FurryGuyJeans commented:
That is one debate that will never happen given those preconditions.
colliemom commented:
Jones is just looking for validation. What better place to get it Fox. Jones needs to be on trial for treason. Look up Storm his pet group… Poor commie needs some attention.
FurryGuyJeans commented:
His number one and only agenda is doing what benefits him, the rest of America and Americans be damned even if they are Progs, green jobs and communism are the means to the end result. Van Jones counts his success by the number of bodies he uses to stand on to elevate himself.
#1AMERICAN commented:
then I guess the debate will never happen do to the fact jones can not ever be honest

even though i too have gotten mad at him for some of the things he’s
been right about, i heart Glenn Beck.. and if i recall correctly, we (well,
most of us at any rate) were against Palin responding to “discredited”
leftist challenges.. ergo, i understand his response..

Conservative to the Core commented:
Perhaps Reggie Brown could just impersonate Van Jones for a debate.

btw, have any of them ever taken on
any of Beck’s numerous challenges??
yes, no, Bueller??

kansas commented:
What is Beck afraid of? I don’t know, having to listen to the blathering of a guy who thinks he’s smart but is of lower than average intelligence. Maybe that. I listen to some of these people and think “WTF?” Debating people who think they are all that can be difficult. Kind of like debating Joe Biden who lied and made up sh*t and then got congratulated for it.
GUS commented:
Van Jones is a commie douchebag.
AuntieMadder commented:
Don’t hold your breath, Glenn.
Ozark Lee commented:
I’m real sorry to see that outcome. It would be “must see TV”.
Van Jones is a fart smeller – check that – a smart feller and any of the lies can be exposed with his own words, on tape. It would be an interesting exchange in the arena of ideas if it could be done, as I think it could be, in a civil manner.

USMC Thomas commented:
Libturds can’t handle the truth, they’ll just look you in the eye and lie their ass off and the factless checking MSM will repeat it as truth.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

flashback
[The Greens had some successes in local races, gaining the majority on the City Council of Arcata, in northern California. Michael Feinstein won a City Council seat in Santa Monica, and two Greens won City Council seats in Berkeley. Overall, Greens won 6 out of 7 local races in California. Nationwide, Green Party members hold local office in 12 states, including school board, city council, and county commission seats.
New Party members and supported candidates won 16 of 23 races, including an at-large race for the Little Rock, Ark., City Council, a seat on the county board for Little Rock and the school board for Prince George's County, Md. Chicago is sending the first New Party member to Congress, as Danny Davis, who ran as a Democrat, won an overwhelming 85% victory. New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate seat from Chicago.]
