The Tea Party, Glenn Beck, and social justice have been generating a lot of headlines and conversation of late in response to comments Beck made earlier this month. And now JFSJ's making our own! From the Daily Beast: Outrage is building over the Fox News host’s claim that churches advocating “social justice” are using code words for Nazism and communism. Now a Jewish group is fighting back—through haiku......
On Wednesday, JFSJ launched HaikuGlennBeck.com, a site where readers can submit haiku responses to Beck’s “social justice” quote. Chief Strategy Officer Mik Moore said his site will feature a parallel campaign on Twitter using the hashtag #becku, and celebrities are expected to contribute as well. Comedian Nick Kroll has already offered a poem to accompany the launch.
Read the whole article. From JFSJ President and CEO Simon Greer, right here on Jspot, in case you missed it. Meet Pam and Carol. Two women facing similar problems. Pam's son lost his job, then his house. Carol faced foreclosure on her home. They both went looking for help. That's where their stories diverge.
Worried about her family, Pam went looking for answers. She found the Tea Party. Scared to lose her home, Carol also went looking for answers. She found Hope Community Credit Union.
Read the whole post. While paradies and protests abound, here are some highlights. Jon Stewart's Response to Beck, replete with blackboard and swastikas. Stephen Colbert's take-down. Bob Herbert, in the New York Times, on Tea Party "lowlife" behavior -- spitting, epithets, and the like.
Color of Change has a campaign addressing over-the-top Tea Party racism. |
