Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson and His BOND Action Group Come Out in Support of Fox News' Glenn Beck and his Incendiary Comments About President Obama

BOND Action Inc., an African American cultural action organization, has come out in favor of Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck, who has been under attack for calling President Barack Obama a racist. You will recall that ColorofChange mounted an attack on Beck for his comments and many companies, including Ally Bank, Geico, Sargento Cheese, have stopped advertising on his show. BOND Action, Inc.'s founder and president Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, said it will be working to expose the source behind the boycott and counter it. Wow, why am I not surprised by Rev. Peterson's actions. This is the same man who would have no qualms about throwing President Obama under a bus on Fox News. Much of Glenn Beck's ire in this boycott is directed at Van Jones, a co-founder of ColorofChange and the White House environmental advisor.

"Glenn Beck is right, Obama is a racist!" added Rev. Peterson. "Where were the boycotts and outraged activists when President George W. Bush was being falsely maligned as a 'racist'? This is a blatant double standard. This boycott is an attempt to silence Beck from continuing his expose' of Barack Obama's socialist agenda and his radical 'green jobs czar' Van Jones."

Rev. Peterson said, "ColorOfChange.org claims that it exists to 'strengthen Black America's political voice'--but it's clear that they are a left-wing, racist political group that deal in lies. This attempt to silence Beck is an attack on free speech and must be countered."Source: Christian News Wire

In the spirit of fairness, I must note that ColorOfChange.org's claims some 33 advertisers have pulled their ads off The Glenn Beck Show, is reportedly exaggerated. The group has had its own issues. It reportedly endorsed ridiculous and inflammatory statements by rapper Kanye West that former President Bush gave troops permission to go to New Orleans and shoot black people during Hurricane Katrina. That was unfounded and just a dirty lie. The chances that Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson and his group will blunt the effects of ColorofChange's campaign is virtually nil. So, Rev., do us a favor, find another cause to fight for instead of being Fox News Channel's Uncle Tom. I could find a few choice words to describe the so-called reverend, but I'll leave that to your imagination.
