Van Jones Turns Beck Debate Challenge Into Potential Fox News Commercial

Recently, The Blaze posted a video of Van Jones, the Obama Administration’s former “green jobs czar,” at last week’s Netroots Nation conference, challenging Glenn Beck to a debate.

The challenge came after the bombastic Jones, sounding more like a televangelist than a former Administration employee, blasted FOX News for allegedly “abusing” our children’s ears, and corroding the airwaves with “lies” and “filth.”

But on radio today, Beck didn’t seem to be too interested in the proposition, at least, he said, not until Jones could be “honest” about his past:

There’s really not anything to talk about until you’re honest and you say you want the overthrow of the government as you have in the past.  The violent overthrow for a Marxist government.  When you’re honest, then people can have a debate.”

You can listen to the rest of Beck’s response below:

But some people just can’t take a hint and Jones has stepped up his pursuit of Beck by taking his challenge viral with a new a MoveOn.org ad. In the 30 second clip, a smiling Jones accuses Beck of attacking “the American dream itself,” and asks Beck if he’s “ready to talk this out?”

Glenn Beck has spent a lot of time repeating lies about me. I can handle attacks on me, but last week Beck attacked the American Dream itself. Now that’s an attack on millions of hard working Americans who just wanna give their kids a better life. So today I’m issuing a challenge to Glenn Beck to debate anytime, anywhere, about our nation’s future. I want the American Dream to be real again for all Americans. So Glenn: you ready to talk this out?

You can view the MoveOn ad below:

Apparently, MoveOn officials told The Huffington Post they hope to entice FOX News to place the ad during Beck’s time-slot on June 30th — his final broadcast on Fox. If they’re unable to persuade the network, MoveOn claims it will make “contingency plans.”

      GLENN BECK speaks something you may not recognize, Amerikus or whatever your name is: HE speaks the truth. HE is an excellent interviewer and he can handle any debate I’ve seen him in. TRUTH is hard to beat. VAN JONES is a self-avowed COMMUNIST. Communism doesn’t work. The only way it lasted in Russia was the MILLIONS OF PEOPLE that were murdered by Joseph Stalin…but then even that couldn’t hold down the desire for LIBERTY that is inborn in all people. Communism doesn’t work financially, morally, educationally, physically…it doesn’t work.
      You are the worst RACIST I’ve seen on these boards…again, I think you are probably some white dweeb in your dorm room drawing a weekly pay check from Soros…most of you trolls are… Here‘s where your ’argument’ falls apart: YOU cannot point to ONE thing GLENN BECK has EVER said that is anti-Freedom (for all people). YOU know you can’t…so spewing your sound-bite lies can’t cut it. We are too aware of what’s been said on all sides, we pay attention. We’re PATRIOTS, not paid trolls. See the difference?

I don’t see anything to debate here. Van Jones has already said it all and Beck already agrees with him. He IS a communist radical so where’s the argument?

      What would be the point?
      Calling Glenn out and calling him a coward would be the next move, but from all he has been thru, and as open as he has been about his life and personal growth, it would be a true challenge to call him a coward.. so lets just bypass that right off the bat.

      “the American Dream” is different for each and every individual. This empty claim for the Amrican Dream for all makes as much sense as ‘hope and change” – suck in the people then promptly put some grotesque version of VJ’s American Dream. H Dean is peddling the same nonsense. Must have been a topic at NutRoots.

      We must always remember, Beck represents the worst of our societal challenges­, that leaves us to discredit people with name calling and sensationa­lism.
      Worst of all, the many outrageous “commentat­ors” like Beck are taking that behavior with them to the bank while our country and our fellow citizens spend little or no time really examining the issues or having conversati­ons dedicated to finding solutions to our many problems.

      OK Mr Mike, Check out this link and see if we can come up with a solution..

      Bear, the phone is a TV prop. You understand that right? Presidents of the United States don’t call AM radio personalities.

      You understand that Beck and FOX have had a mutual parting of ways, although I think the parting of ways had more to do with Beck’s having lost all his major advertisers than anything else (FOX is a capitalistic enterprise after all). You’re right, it is the 15th round for Beck. He’ll be around on his internet show for awhile, but he’s basically gone.

      But BEAR, what does Beck leaving FOX have to do with a debate? Do you think it’s because Beck has lost so much of his audience, and is trying to start a new venture and is particularly vunerable? Wouldn’t knocking out Jones give him a boost? He could do it you say, so why not?

      Whatever the reason, Beck is a chicken. He’s not about to debate someone, anyone who could knock him down a notch or two. Say what you want about Van Jones but Beck is skeered of him. Beck is a chicken.

      If TRUTH is on your side you should have zero fear. If anything it would give America the clear difference between Van Jones Marxist views and Glenn Beck’s NEO-Con views. 

      Van Jones waiting on Beck to call to debate is the exact same as Beck waiting on Obama to call on his red phone. How many here called Obama a coward for not calling…..Be consistent. 

      Debate him Glenn on your turf and clearly articulate your views and STAND IN THE TRUTH! You will not only own him, you will further expose him.

You are not anything close to consistent. The last programs have already been planned and scripted. GB is right to ignore VJ at this point. As far as I am concerned, the debate is over.

If you want to remain free, read more books. Start with “Witness” by Whittaker Chambers to see communism from the inside of a staunch communist who broke with communism. In his book he describes how communism operates.

      seeker9, I was correct, as I think you know, that the Blaze is the only “news” outlet that shows Van Jones videos. Mainstream media doesn’t cover Van Jones, neither do mainstream or liberal websites cover him. It’s only here where you can can see and listen to Van Jones. Interesting too that when I challenged Blaze readers to give me a single, solitary American or unchristian comment from the last Jones video posted here, no one responded (except of course to call me a bag of crap).

      Seeker says, “As far as I am concerned, the debate is over.” Seeker, there has been no debate. Beck has certainly slammed Jones, but Jones hasn’t responded. Until now. Jones would like the chance to confront his accuser in spirit of the American system of justice.

      Seeker, Beck can’t afford to debate Jones. I’m not saying I support Jones, but Beck, in his cowardly one-sided way, has portrayed him as absolute evil (actually, I think there’s a lawsuit). Financially, Beck needs the Jones straw man to keep the dollars, which flow from fear, coming his way.

      But basically, and I think you know this, Beck is a coward. He never debated anyone on his show. He attacked, but wouldn’t do it in the face of anyone who could challenge him. He’s a coward and a chicken. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.

      seeker9, I disagree with some things you said (of course), but liked your post. I don’t keep up with Van Jones, and wouldn’t hazard a guess at what they are. Maybe he is trying to get a big house and car. I wouldn’t know. I’m not sure what you have against that, this is America after all. Glenn is sure making the bucks. But whatever. Jones and Glenn are probably both trying to make money. How sincere are they in their efforts to “improve the world?” I simply don’t know.

      Billy, I was just just being a PITA ( I learned that acronym from you). Here’s my assessment:

      - Obermann won’t debate anyone.
      - Beck won’t either
      - Hannity will bring idiots on his show and debate them. If he brings a smart person on, he’ll have two other people with the opposite opinion and shout down the liberal and not allow them to get two words out.
      - O’ Reilly will debate anyone including Beck. He gets President Obama on his show because he challenge him but doesn‘t ask totally loaded questions and doesn’t shout him down. He’s one of the smarter and more decent people at FOX.
      - Ed will take on anyone, but makes a fool out of himself most of the time. Ed may have an audience, but I’m not among them (although frankly I don’t have cable).
      - Maddow will take on anyone. She has a PhD in public policy and will debate anyone. But as much as she asks, most conservatives won’t take her on.
