Glenn Beck SCORES, with an assist from Sarah Palin

At least one outlet in the statist media wall is giving Sarah Palin some of the credit for the resignation of America-hating communist Van Jones, President Obama's so called "green czar." The Chicago Tribune's political blog The Swamp correctly gives Glenn Beck the lion's share of the credit for outing Jones and other Marxists in Obama's administration, but it also gives the former Alaska governor the nod for helping to significantly boost the numbers of Beck's viewing audience:

"Score one for Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, other Republicans targeting WH aide"

[...]

"FOX's Beck zeroed in on Jones after a group that Jones had co-founded, ColorofChange, started an advertising boycott against Beck's TV program after Beck stated on another FOX show that Obama is 'a racist.'"

"Republican Sarah Palin has been encouraging followers on her Facebook page to watch Beck's program."

Some nutroots bloggers, of course, are also giving Beck and Palin credit for Jones' departure, but only in the most disdainful manner. They are outraged that Americans are not going to let the Obamunists turn this Republic into a Chavez-style Marxist dictatorship without a fight.

"The failure to get your message out is not the problem. The problem is your message."

Jacobson challenges leftists to start another boycott if they choose not to believe that the progressive agenda is an unpopular one:

"Because the Glenn Beck boycott worked so well."
