Yosi Sergant, Obama Aide, Asked To Resign: Glenn Beck Strikes Again

Yosi Sergant, who recently popped up on Beck's radar for his involvement in a conference call on national service, has been asked to resign as communications director by the National Endowment for the Arts, sources familiar with the move tell the Huffington Post.

An artist on the call recorded it and gave the recording to Beck, who played it on air as proof of a government conspiracy to co-opt arts organizations and warp the minds of Americans. "Your government is trying to trick you, use your tax dollars to change your mind. It's called propaganda. The people involved in the conference call, including the White House, knew that this was on the fence if not outright illegal," says Beck.

Sergant is, by all accounts, a highly-talented grassroots organizer and promoter, but communications director for the NEA is a position that requires a high level of political dexterity: the arts agency is constantly under fire from extremist activists who see it as propagating a liberal, libertine agenda. The day the culture war is finally declared over, there will still be skirmishes over the NEA.

Beck, however, is now trolling for bigger fish. Shortly after taking out Van Jones, he sent a note to his followers instructing them: "FIND EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON CASS SUNSTEIN, MARK LLOYD AND CAROL BROWNER."

1. Why?

Does this administration do everything Glenn Beck asks them to do? Is Rahm Emmanuelle going to wash Beck's car next?

2. The Admin didn't ask him. The headline is misleading. The article even says the White House didn't

ask him, so I don't know why the headline reads that way.

3. Asked to resign by the NEA, but not by the White House. nt

4. Maybe this is a stupid question but isn't this blackmail? Or staging a direct attack against

Government? I am just wondering why he can use the local airwaves that we pay for to do this.

5. Glenn Beck is an entertainer, no one is supposed to take him seriously.

How many people have been fired by Jon Stewart exposing the truth about them?

Beck can't help himself, it's in his nature to be a clown. I guess there is no defense against his lies and he will continue to take down more of our people.

6. Just remind people of Senator Vitter....

who pays prostitutes to diaper him so he can soil himself and get off sexually. Let's have him resign first, OK? I'd bring up Vitter's behavior every chance I got.
