Van Jones Demands Glenn Beck Retraction
Van Jones is challenging Glenn Beck to a debate and running a MoveOn.org-sponsored ad . and sent a cease and desist Letter fto Fox .
Jones, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress who resigned from his job as White House “green jobs” czar following the conservative host’s repeated claims that he was a subversive and a Communist, is considering legal action against Beck-employer Fox News.
While others have used the media against FAUX, now the time may (finally) have come where the lawyers get to play. Jones’ attorney sent a six page letter Monday to Fox citing “a series of sensational and inflammatory charges” that are “demonstrably, unequivocally and absolutely false.”
As with other FAUX crusades .. against academics, ACORN, democratic congressmen and the President, the charges vs. Van JOnes have been serious., Just ask ACORN or Gabby Gifford. So far, however, no one has taken legal action. Jones has been called a Communist or Marxist. a violent raidical, and a racist. The letter adds that such statements are “demonstrably and unequivocally false” and were made to “injure Mr. Jones in his professional and community standing.”

A Fox News spokeswoman did not immediately respond for comment.
