It won't go anywhere. All Fox has to do to win a lawsuit is prove that Beck believed what he said was the truth.

www.theblaze.com/stories/now-van-jones-wants-to-sue-fox/NOW VAN JONES WANTS TO SUE FOX? Posted on June 21, 2011 at 8:15am It’s kind of hard to keep up. First, Van Jones challenged Glenn Beck to a debate while at the Netroots Nation conference, then, when Beck didn’t seem too interested in the proposition, he made this MoveOn.org ad accusing Beck of “attacking the American dream,” followed by a politely-framed request to Glenn to “talk this out.” Now, after all his challenges remain thus far unanswered, it seems Jones’ frustration level might just be hitting critical mass. The best way to assuage his potentially bruised ego? Well, sue FOX News! HuffingtonPost reports: Jones’ attorney sent a cease and desist letter Monday to Dianne Brandi, the network’s executive vice president for legal & business affairs, claiming that “a series of sensational and inflammatory charges” have been made against Jones on Fox News shows. The statements, his attorney Joseph Sandler argues, are “demonstrably, unequivocally and absolutely false.” In a six-page letter, the letter says that Jones has been called “radical revolutionary” (Beck), “an avowed Communist and 9/11 truther” (Sean Hannity), and a “far left kook, Communist guy” (Bill O’Reilly), to name just a few of the disputed allegations. “Mr. Jones is not a member of any Communist Party or Marxist organization whatsoever, and has not expressed any support for any form of Communist or Marxist ideology for many years,” Sandler wrote. He added that such statements are “demonstrably and unequivocally false” and were made to “injure Mr. Jones in his professional and community standing.” [Emphasis added] Fox has reportedly received the letter and it is “under review.” Jones, a once self-proclaimed communist and “rowdy black nationalist,” might have trouble making any judge see the “demonstrably, unequivocally and absolutely false” part.

“Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said, ‘OK now we want reparations for slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages.’ If we’d come out with a maximum program the very next day, they’d been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum. ‘We just want to integrate these buses.’
“But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country. And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages. Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least we’re not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won’t be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression altogether. But, that’s a process and I think that’s what’s great about the movement that is beginning to emerge is that the crisis is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both pragmatic and visionary. So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.”
Van Jones
****************
Berkely, Calif., Feb. 26, 2009: Jones took audience questions in Berkeley, Calif., during a lecture on energy issues.
Van Jones: “Well, the answer to that is: they’re a***oles.”
Female questioner: I was afraid that that was the answer.
Van Jones: That’s a technical, political science term. And — Barack O — Barack Obama’s not an asshole. So — now, I will say this: I can be an a***ole. And some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity. How’s that capitalism working for ya?
Female questioner: What?
Van Jones: How’s that capitalism working for ya this year?
Female questioner: What?
Van Jones: How is that capitalism working for ya this year?
Jones was the leader and founder of a radical group, the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM.
If you Google "storm manifesto" you will get the scribd site where it is posted, the page address is the longest web address I've ever seen, never did see the end of it.
It has been scrubbed from the internet from time to time.
Good luck proving he is not a radical revolutionary and an unrepentant communist.
From his attorney's letter to Fox News attorneys.
"On the Glenn Beck Show broadcast by FOX News Network on June13, 2011, Glenn Beck called Mr. Jones an "unrepentant ommunist" and a "radical revolutionary" who apparently opposes the American Dream and capitalism."
His Marxist goal are clearly stated on page 51 of the STORM manifesto. He has not denied those views or "repented" of them.
His own words say everything about who and what he is.

Perfect example of reverse-racism. Oh, please, "we love everybody". You mean except Fox News that has you pegged, specifically Glenn Beck. Get over yourself, Van Jones. For a minute I thought I was listening to Reverend Wright., oh brotha....  |

Thanks, diamonds..  Seems strange he would even open the can of worms. It's his can, he knows what's in it. Maybe Glenn Beck is working under constraints at FOX and Jones knows the gloves will come off when Beck is on his own? |

Marsha: You're welcome, I don't think Glenn Beck is afraid to back down with facts. I don't know why he's doing this now, it's just drawing more attention to his radical beliefs. He's just sore because he had to step down from being one of Obama's czars, but he wasn't even vetted.... |

Remember Obama girl that made several videos? She was on Huckabee awhile ago and said she no longer supports Obama as he didn't keep any of his promises. |
