Who?
Yosi Sergant, who recently popped up on Beck's radar for his involvement in a conference call on national service, has been asked to resign as communications director by the National Endowment for the Arts, sources familiar with the move tell the Huffington Post.
At issue was an August conference call in which the NEA encouraged select artists to participate in an administration project dubbed "United We Serve" and led by the first lady.
Beck attacked Sergant and the NEA on his Fox News talk show, accusing the agency of propaganda efforts similar to those used by Nazi Germany. And now Sergant has been tossed overboard, making him Beck's second victim in his campaign to rid the administration of perceived radicals, socialists, communists, fascists, anarchists and all other manner of nefarious influences.
Perhaps not coincidentally, both Sergant and Van Jones - Beck's first takedown - have roots in on-the-ground organizing and were tightly connected with the grassroots progressive community.
The NEA wouldn't comment on Sergant's situation specifically, saying that it was a confidential personnel matter.
The White House did not come to Sergant's defense but says it was not involved in asking him to leave. "The White House did not ask for Mr. Sergant's resignation," administration spokesman Shin Inouye told HuffPost.

Who?
wow. beck sure is changing the arts community for the better. makes sense though-he is quite the actor.
ugh, why is ANYONE listening to a bag like Beck (who, incidentally, has yet to make a truthful statement: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...es/glenn-beck/). least of all anyone with decision-making power in Washington.
He is the leader of the party after Rush said he didn't want the position. I'm curious why anyone would listen to Tammy Faye Messner.
then why have 2 people step down or fired or whatever after beck presented these claims? .....................if he was crazy he would be shut down. presented as a quack and these guys would still have a job. every thing would be cleared up, but no. we have two people out of their positions and all the white house is doing, for jones at least, is saying that it's a smear campaign. funny how it's a smear campaign when all beck did was provide direct quotes and video of jones basically doing in himself......and this is 2 in less than a week.
Go Glenn - keep up the good work! Someone needs to expose all the crazy radicals employed by this administration.
lol @ Beck being Viva's hero.
Explains a lot.
thanks romeo
He appears to be touching a few nerves
I myself have a hard time putting up with Beck, but he is a wealth of good information.
lol Beck and Viva!
