Glenn Beck, who the Left have accused of inciting "witch hunt" against now-former green jobs czar Van Jones, appears on Bill O'Reilly's show in the wake of Jones' resignation. He continues to make the argument that President Obama is a "closet Marxist," because of his association with a "Marxist, anarchist, self-avowed Communist" like Jones.
O'Reilly, meanwhile, says that Jones was not that much of an important figure in the White House.
I'm always amused when Beck and O'Reilly get together!
Really? Here's another real big surprise.
Are you kidding? Not only are "czars" confirmed by Congress, but apparently the racist, radical communist was not approved by anyone!
Again, Obama has proven he has dangerously poor judgement.
Remember, Obama required everyone fill out this questionnaire:
Just in case the previous 62 questions do not ferret out any potential controversy, the 63rd is all-encompassing: “Please provide any other information, including information about other members of your family, that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the president-elect.”
The answer could duplicate the response to Question 8: “Briefly describe the most controversial matters you have been involved with during the course of your career.”
As expected, Axelrod et al have completely distanced themselves from Van Jones. As if they had no idea who the guy was and wonder how he even got into the White House.
Give me a break.
Fox News White House correspondent Major Garrett reports that the reason Van Jones' resignation as President Obama's green jobs czar went down the way it did was to "distance the President... as much as possible" from him.
"He was not a player," Garrett suggests.
Also, when Megyn Kelly cites Jones "blaming the right wing for his resignation amid a smear campaign," Garrett breaks into laughter.
Also, Gregg Jarrett suggests that there could be another "controversy" surrounding Obama's science czar who apparently advocated forced abortions. "Watch for this guy to get a bit more attention in the coming days," Jarrett teases.
National Barack Channel (NBC) blames conservative bloggers for Van Jones' resignation.
Huh?
What "disinformation" are you referring to, Mr. Brokaw?
Jones resigned due to a pattern of radical, racist and anti-American rhetoric documented by actual quotes from actual speeches by a self-proclaimed communist Van Jones!
There was no "vast right-wing conspiracy" going on here; Jones brought this upon himself by, to use his own language, being an "as*hole".
Good riddance! Obviously Obama likes these communist, anti-American, black supremacist types... this can no longer be blamed on "bad luck," this is a predictable and discernible pattern.
Van Jones resigned shortly after midnight....on a Saturday into Sunday...on a holiday weekend....
Still no condemnation from President Obama on any of Jones' radical, racist and anti-American comments. Anyone surprised?
President Barack Obama's adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.
Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.
The resignation comes as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate.
Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration."
The matter surfaced after news reports of a derogatory comment Jones made in the past about Republicans, and separately, of Jones' name appearing on a petition connected to the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. That 2004 petition had asked for congressional hearings and other investigations into whether high-level government officials had allowed the attacks to occur.
"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."
Jones said he has been "inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to stay and fight."
But he said he cannot in good conscience ask his colleagues to spend time and energy defending or explaining his past.
Jones flatly said in an earlier statement that he did not agree with the petition's stand on the 9/11 attacks and that "it certainly does not reflect my views, now or ever."
As for his other comments he made before joining Obama's team, Jones said, "If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize."
Despite his apologies, Republicans demanded Jones quit.
Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana said in a statement, "His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate." Missouri Sen. Christopher Bonds said Congress should investigate Jones's fitness the job.
Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck repeatedly denounced Jones after a group the adviser co-founded, ColorofChange.org, led an advertising boycott against Beck's show to protest his claim that Obama is a racist.
James Rucker, the organization's executive director, has said Jones had nothing to do with ColorofChange.org now and didn't even know about the campaign before it started.
Jones, well-known in the environmental movement, was a civil-rights activist in California before shifting his attention to environmental and energy issues. He is known for laying out a broad vision of a green economy.
Nancy Sutley chair of the council, said in a statement released early Sunday that she accepts Jones resignation and thanked him for his service.
"Over the last six months, he had been a strong voice for creating jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources," she said. "We appreciate his hard work and wish him the best moving forward."
"I am this close to adding myself to the 9.7% unemployed."
More from the Van Jones Diaries...the gift that just keeps giving.
"You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, 'We can't believe it happened here. We can't believe it's these suburban white kids.' It's only them. Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He's not going to shoot up the whole school."
Remember, your tax dollars are paying this radical, racist communist's salary. Oh, and he is supposed to be "stimulating" the economy with "green jobs". Yesterday, unemployment reached a 26-year high.
Really?
Who is this whack job? Seriously, who is vetting these people? This guy is a freaking nut case! WTF?!?!
In another video clip that was recently unearthed, Van Jones does his best Chris Rock in impersonating George Bush needing another crack fix, vis a vis needing more petroleum.
NEW YORK CITY, NY (Oct. 26, 2004) – An alliance of 100 prominent Americans and 40 family members of those killed on 9/11 today announced the release of the 911 Truth Statement, a call for immediate inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur. The Statement supports an August 31st Zogby poll that found nearly 50% of New Yorkers believe the government had foreknowledge and "consciously failed to act," with 66% wanting a new 9/11 investigation.
Van Jones, Special Advisor for Green Jobs, the White House Council on Environmental Quality. February 11, 2009, Berkeley, CA. From a lecture Jones gave at the 2nd Annual Berkeley Energy & Resources Collaborative (BERC) event.
Remember, this is a White House OFFICIAL with power over the entire multi-billion dollar "Green Jobs" initiative. This is the same man who endorsed the statement that President Bush "gave troops permission to go down (to New Orleans) and shoot us (black people)" after Katrina. He is now at the highest levels of power, and is targeting Glenn Beck for exposing his true agenda.
Beck recently exposed Jones for the communist he really is, no joke. He is a real communist.
Glenn Thrush at Politico has more:
Van Jones, currently the White House "green jobs" czar, was attending a forum in Berkeley, Calif., back in February [a month before he was hired for his current gig] when he was asked why congressional Republicans were blocking the administration's initiatives.
Jones, a former civil rights attorney in Oakland and author of a bestseller on the green economy, was appointed as Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality in March 2009.
Here's what he said.
"The answer to that is they're a**holes ... [Crowd laughter] That's a technical political science term ... And Barack Obama's not an a**hole. And I can be an a**hole. And some of us who aren't Barack Hussein Obama are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity."
Obama green jobs adviser Van Jones is apologizing for calling Republicans A-holes a month before joining the White House staff in March 2009.
His office just sent over this statement from him:
“These comments, made before I joined the administration, were clearly inappropriate and I apologize for the offensive words I chose to use during that speech. They do not reflect the views of this administration, which has made every effort to work in a bipartisan fashion, and they do not reflect the experience I have had since I joined the administration.”
