Diversity watch: Glenn Beck going after Obama czar Cass Sunstein under pressure?

[Liberty Star]

This probably has nothing to do with "diversity" video ad Fox has been airing after election of Obama. For those who follow him regularly, is Glenn Beck giving in to diversity pressure from libs that he has to go after a "white" czars in Obama adminstration too or these attcks are consistent with his track record given beliefs of Beck and Sunstein?

Diversity watch?

Czars are Czars. Take them all down.

 

[Liberty Star]

There was speculation about Obama diversity czars coming down on Fox using diversity as an excuse, Fox has been trying to show more "diversity" in its ad campaign lately. It will be interesting to see how this manifests in Gelnn Beck target list. Very few people had heard about this CS guy till Beck started attacking him soon after his attacks on Van Jones.

Sunstein isn't the guy to go after.

I think the FCC guy is the better option. But he's black.

Sounds like a game of Chess.

So he's making his target list not on merit but based on skin color so he's not labeled as a "racist" by diversity czar or libs. His next target apparently has some libertarian views:

Glenn Beck targets Cass Sunstein!

Looks like Glenn Beck wants badly to target Cass Sunstein as the next czar. Cass Sunstein happens to be the president’s regulations adviser. He is also one of the few conservative appointments by President Obama.

Cass Sunstein get support from many conservatives as well as Libertarians where as Beck is a Libertarian. Sunstein is a legal scholar and has authored many books of regulations. This is one of the many reasons, why Beck is ready to oppose Sunstein.

Beck attacks Sunstein that he would be put a ban on hunting and would finally force people to donate organs.

The Washington Independent does a lot of research on Sunsetin. Beck is also ready to attack with a lot of quotes from Sunstein.

Or maybe it's not as it is being reported, it's funny how this guy also calls even Beck a libertarian. Let's see how this unfolds.

Doesn't frustrate me. I think all of the Czars should be singled out and inspected one at a time regardless of race, creed, or religion. We have a right to know about these people.

You mean we have other Czars that have said things crazier than Cass Sunstein's belief that we should grant animals and inanimate objects a right to bring a lawsuit? How could he not touch that story first.

Cass Sunstein is a guy to "go after". Get ready to be "paternalized", you know, for your own good.

His name has been coming up a ton in my reading, and I have yet to see something I can agree with him on.

 

[Liberty Star]

But does that justify for Beck to try and get him fired?

 

[catdd]

Being an avid hunter and fisherman I have to see this guy as an enemy. I'm in no hurry to be brought to trial on murder charges for killing a deer. Or being sued by a school of bass for not releasing their relatives.

 

[Feenix566]

I read that whole article from the OP. It states as fact that Sunstein has "libertarian" views, yet fails to offer a single fact to back that up. The only evidence offered is Sunstein's approval from a few "libertarian" law professors, and of course there isn't any evidence offered as to what their views really are or why they support Sunstein.

Oh and it says that Sunsteins' book, "Nudge", advocated "libertarian paternalism". Talk about a contradiction in terms!!

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

Well..that's just crazy he wants animals to be able to sue their masters? What nonsense! ALL czars should be vetted and brought before the senate ....they need background checks etc...Beck has been targeting the czars period. tones

What's worst about the FCC guy?

 

[Chase]

What's worst about the FCC guy?

The FCC guy has some wild proposals about how private broadcasters (eg talk radio) should have to pay 100% of their operating costs to taxes, which would then fund state radio, and how any of a myriad of so-called diversity "violations" conducted in the course of said operations would be heavily fined.

Sunstein also thinks that trees should be able to sue. Any tool to deprive people of property is ok by him.

Have to say that's just way over the top.

 

[Deborah K]

Sunstein advocates population control through forced abortions and sterilants in the water. He is a eugenics guy. He also advocates for animals' right to sue. Also an advocate of banning hunting.

NOT kidding!

Sterilants in the water? That is far worse then Van Jones if true... do you have a link?
