Couldn't see that one coming.

Yawn.

Holt then asked John Harwood: “Can the Republican Right claim its first scalp in this administration?”

  First scalp?   Why....   I believe that could be classified as a derogatory and racist reference.

 it may take the entire length of this administration to get all the Czars.

To bad for WHICH COUNTRY Mr. Howard Dean?  Obama continues with the Castro-turfing of america and the media just applauds or whines on cue.

In the left's defense of this self-avowed communist Van Jones, either directly or by omission, they have opened their fly and exposed themselves for who and what they truly are.

I wonder how many more commies will have to be unearthed around Obama before the American people are going to finally add 2 and 2 and hit 4.

Even when the government tries to kiss you, it is just a prelude to a good screwing. -Neal Boortz 

So, You've got to understand, Van Jones is a star. He really is.

And political opponents are after Obama because they believe there's something secretly more radical or further left about Obama than he is letting on right now, and Obama has an exotic background.

And they've scalped one of Obama's advisors, those Wepublican Wight Wascles.

Sounds like the MSM has circled the wagons, loaded their muskets, and are defending the Dear Leader to the death from those damn Right-Wing Republican Indians. This is going to cause a great conflict come Columbus Day next month when they will be obligated to defend said Indians. Wonder how that's going to take place?

I regard the "truther" stuff as a minor matter.  The real important disclosures about Jones are his racial hatred of "white people" and his admission that the "green" movement is really a front for communism.  I think both of those are subject to prosecution.

And the Tate-La Bianca murders were all things Charles Manson was engaged in before he went to trial.  So what?

How is it a free pass that Jones' comments were made before he joined the Obama Administration?

Has the MSM gone completely daft with their sense of analysis?

Don't answer that.

If they didn't take this angle, then they'd have to admit they were lax in reporting on Van Jones in the first place.

-Ghostbuster

Awesome.  But, let's try to keep track of what the other hand is doing.

That's the one that'll break our jaw, and despite what some conservative Rebeccas of Sunnybrook Farm out there would like to believe, it's a glass jaw.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

The media can talk about Van Jones and why he resigned (yea, resigned, on his own....BS).  But really, the one thing of significance.....

He's gone.  Bye bye Jones.  Carry your Communist self elsewhere.

I'm sure now he can revert back to all the things that made him a "towering" "legendary" figure.  I'm sure we haven't heard the last of him, and I'm sure whatever we hear in the future will be solid gold.

Van Jones resigning sends a tingle up my leg!

Ha! (Using Chris Matthews' annoying laugh...)

the corrupt, insane lib-nut media and Leftists call the Repub Right/conservatives every name in the book on this one...they can call all of us the Devil himself, for all I care. What I do care about is that Van Jones is history, and is no longer in a position to inflict his wacko, commie agenda on the rest of us, and that is what matters.  

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan

in a glass house, you should not throw stones.  Van Jones decided to throw stones at Glenn Beck.  Big mistake.  If you followed the main stream media, you would not know Van Jones from Van Johnson.  He is history today because of the new media:  talk radio, Fox News, the Drudge Report and the internet.    Jim Webster

Be very careful not to suspect Van Jones will not operate in the background instead of in the open. He is a long time friend of God in the WH, who would not throw him under the bus. Communist are like snakes and roaches they hide waiting to come out and strike.

Next we should force Holder to answer to the public how the FBI allowed Van Jones this kind of access to the president being he is  a self proclaimed communist, with a prison record. What the hell are they turning out in Harvard and Yale anyway?

Then we have to ask the question: What did Obama know about Van Jones background and when did he know it?

Our next Czar to be put under the microscope is the new FCC Czar with his radical revolutionary comments about the wonderful system in Venezuela and Chavez and the right to take over the public airways so it can be silenced.

Isn't change wonderful, Libs thanks again for helping to destroy our country.

I hope that Mini-Van Jones' scalp is just the first of many to go from this administration.

 And this sour grapes "victim" stuff is both expected and typical.

Get lost, Jonesy!  And go peddle your "green" garbage somewhere else.

on another blog here.  YEA,  I pretty much said it as clear as can be.

But let me extend that comment to say:

WHITE PEOPLE WILL BE TO BLAME for his departure...not just conservatives, not just Republicans, not just Christians...BUT Specifically....W H I T E   folk.

THERE, I SAID IT !!!

How can Obie take a man immersed in controversy and turn him into a czar to be praised among Obie's adoring gallery?

There's an easy answer to this question and ANYONE can answer it.

somewhere, I am sure of it. He would be the worst of the lot.

Wow, they still think Obama hit a homerun with this guy. Ridiculous.

The Rocky Mountain Collegian: Illustrating Idiocy

KO is asking for dirt on Glenn Beck, saying send in all you know about Beck, Stu, and Ailes. Tuesday he will post a dedicated E-mail address. I, for one will oblige this jerk and send him everything I can. I hope his inbox is big. I hope everyone out there helps Keith-baby dig up the dirt. Server capacity be damned, if he wants the scoop on Stu I'll send him the scuttlebutt. Join in the fun!

headline of a Los Angeles Times article.

The Times' Peter Wallsten writes:

New surveys show steep declines in Obama's approval ratings among whites -- including Democrats and independents -- who were crucial elements of the diverse coalition that helped elect the country's first black president.

Among white Democrats, Obama’s job approval rating has dropped 11 points since his 100-days mark in April, according to surveys by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. It has dropped by 9 points among white independents and whites over 50, and by 12 points among white women -- all groups that will be targeted by both parties in next year's midterm elections.

"While Obama has a lock on African Americans, his support among white voters seems to be almost in a free fall," said veteran Republican pollster Neil Newhouse....

But the drop in support among whites also comes as some conservatives have stoked controversies that have the potential to further erode Obama's standing among centrists -- including some controversies that resulted from White House stumbles.

One such episode came to a head Sunday when Van Jones, Obama’s green jobs czar, resigned after a week of criticism over past inflammatory statements and for signing onto conspiracy theories questioning whether the U.S. government played a role in the Sept. 11 attacks. A White House official acknowledged Sunday that Jones had been vetted less rigorously than other officials.

In another episode, some conservatives have criticized a White House dinner invitation issued to the lead lawyer in the American Civil Liberties Union lawsuits that have forced the government to disclose Bush-era interrogation techniques. The lawyer was invited to an event for the Muslim holiday of Ramadan......

More than half of whites older than 50 approved of Obama's job performance in April. But now, after weeks of Republican accusations that the Democrats would seek to cut Medicare benefits, that number is 43%. Among white Democrats, Obama's approval rating dropped to 78%, from 89%.

From The Cook Political Report: House Overview: Could 2010 Be the “Year of the Angry White Senior?

Great post at redstate, pointing out the current White House spin on Van Jones -"he wasn't in that senior a position, so he wasn't vetted thoroughly," contradicts the buildup he was given and the fact that the Green Czar position was created specially for him:

The Van Jones Resignation Raises More Serious Questions: http://www.redstate.com

The Republicans (with the exception of a precious few) have been silent on this czar debacle.  We, the people have asked why the republicans have not spoken out.  We asked for answers and we begged for action, but our pleas fell on deaf elephant ears.  Out of digust with the way our constitution is being desecrated; We, the people have teamed up with Glenn Beck and many bloggers and got the job done on at least 1 of the czars.  The annoying part is the Republicans are being credited for the resignation of Van Jones?!  What an insult!!!

"but can the Republican Right claim its first scalp in this administration, and how big a deal is it?"

I suppose this is a suitable alternative to using the term "lynching"?

Could be the first N****r Communist scalp. Bring it on Liberal White haters. We are about fed up with you. Actually really fed up now. Keep screwing up and see what happens.

Marc, that was totally uncalled for! We need to remember that we should be the civilized voice. We already know the left is insane...we don't need to give in to their tactics.

Second, what is really disturbing is that the MSM is so blind and so in the tank for Obama, that they are actually disappointed that an avowed Communist is no longer a part of this administration.

What's even more disturbing is what I read on a liberal blog recently about Jones: "If you read recent literature, he had a bit of a streak as identifying
himself as communist as a youth, much like others of his age."

We can all relate to that right? Didn't we all have that bout in our young lives when we were aspiring to rise up through the ranks of the Communist Party?

Young people can be so misguided....
