Did anyone notice that "DefendGlenn.com" has issued a huge RETRACTION on their home page?
This is priceless: DefendGlenn.com, thosw nimrods who have been conning people into thinking that a campaign is needed to protect Glenn Beck from Van Jones, has had to retract not one, not two, but THREE separate lies. And it looks as if it's beren "pinned" to the top of their site (no date).

:evilgrin: :applause: :rofl: :woohoo: :evilgrin:

Did I miss something? Did Color of Change hit them with the threat of legal action (or maybe even a civil complaint)?

Somewhere, Van Jones is laughing his ass off.

Meanwhile, I wonder what the rubes behind the Web site think of Beck's latest problem: a conflict of interest that would have gotten him fired from a real news outfit?

3. But glen is a patriot of the highest order
he has ethics and integrity out the wazoo. His broadcasts are modicums of professionalism. Without using the sarcasm emoticon, just let me post I'm about to make myself puke. And why would a man who has us all surrounded need protection?

Those who make a living on right wing radio have never done anything FOR our country.

4. That's better than you'd get from most of them
O'Reilly would simply insist he was right, or he'd been quoted "out of context."

5. Why would they bother? It's not like Beck is all into being accurate.
And who the hell reads that shithole website? Jeebus.

6. Why read? Because every time a progressive reads a retraction on a douchebag rightie's Web site...
... an angel gets its wings!

(Yep, watched "It's a Wonderful Life" last night...)

17. CrooksAndLiars.com has picked up the story...
Here's what they say:
ColorofChange threatened to sue the defamatory website that was started to defend "phony tears" Glenn Beck because they used false information supplied by extremist sites like NewsMax. DefendGlenn was forced to post an apology on their website stating that they used patently false information -- lies, basically, to attack their opponents.

ColorofChange:
After ColorOfChange.org took on Glenn Beck for his race-baiting and fear-mongering, Beck's supporters fought back using lies, distortions, and more race-baiting to defend him. DefendGlenn.com was the worst, mounting a campaign to scare advertisers into staying on his show.

After we threatened them with a lawsuit, DefendGlenn.com has backpedalled. It should make clear to advertisers who have pulled their support that they've done the right thing...read on
Conservatives will say and do anything to smear and destroy a contrary belief. It's right out the Nixon "dirty tricks" book club.
Take a look at a screen grab of their apology below to Color of Change.
