Powerline nicely summarizes the problems with (now former) Obama Administration official Van Jones:
Who do they have in the White House? A self-proclaimed Communist. A vulgar Marxist twice over. A supporter of cold-blooded cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal. A 9/11 Truther . A racist hater, whose hatred extends to the United States. And insofar as his current job is concerned, we have a man who sees the "green jobs" con as a tool for overthrowing capitalism. We have, in short, the complete left-wing nightmare package.
So naturally, the Denver Post hasn't yet printed a word about the (now former) Green Jobs Czar. The Washington Post and New York Times, would-be papers of record, finally got around to covering the controversy just in time for Jones to resign. As with the Eason Jordan affair, readers' could be forgiven for not knowing that there even was a problem, right up until the moment that the (nor former) advisor resigned.
Of course, those outlets that are now covering the resignation are basically whitewashing the problems with Jones. Here's the AP, as carried by the Washington Post:
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.
"Derogatory comments" is one way of putting it. Calling them "a**holes" is another. Jones wasn't just "linked to" efforts (note the passive voice). He actively linked himself to them by signing an online truther petition. ABC News's Todd Connor is even more circumspect (audio not available online):
Van Jones decided to leave in light of recent questions surrounding a racially tinged speech and a petition he signed which questioned the official version of the 9/11 attacks.
Plenty of speeches are "racially tinged." Few rise to this level of American self-hatred:
The American way, manufactuered by these white folks in office. By these rich men here to mock us. The United States is a stolen land led by right-wing, war hungry, oil thirsty. And when it's all said and done they still can't clean their own place because they got people of color playing servant to do that sh*t for them... The true terrorists are made in the US, in this police state... The US is a crack-fiend for oil. And they're ready to rape, kill, assault, rob anybody and everybody...
And plenty of people have questioned the official version of 9/11. I've noted that having Jamie Gorelick sit in judgment on the 9/11 Commission was pretty close to the ultimate fox-guarding-the-henhouse moment. That's a little different from asking whether "high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the attacks to occur."
Again, readers may be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss is about.
In fact, Obama has merely victimized himself here, by a (now former) Tsar System that end-runs around Congressional vetting, and has been victimized by a press corps sleeping-walking through life. The two are not unrelated.

AP got major fact wrong
September 6, 2009 - 01:52 ET by andrew - des moinesThe AP report I read stated that, "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." Beck was pointing out problems with Jones BEFORE the boycott.
It's obvious
September 6, 2009 - 01:54 ET by koorangkooIt's quite obvious what's happened here -- this is not the Van Jones that Obama knew.
You are either implying that
September 6, 2009 - 02:33 ET by mostlymoderateYou are either implying that the President did not know about Van Jones' past, which means he is a President that is easily fooled and he is capable of putting this nation in great harm. Or, more likely, this is just another indicator of who we have in office: Ayers, Rev. Wright, Van Jones type people that hate this country.
I am beginning to think Obama is much more radical in his ideologies than I previously assumed. The whole "Gates" incident where Obama scolded the police for being stupid commenced my pessimism about this President. You have to admit, nobody really "checked out" Obama. He was a surprise candidate that dawned on the American people overnight and he didn't even have a real contender to battle with. I mean really, John McCain?
Obama is scaring me.

September 6, 2009 - 08:06 ET by acumenWe've now got bigger problems than a hateful, racist, anti-American, marxist, truther hanging out at the White House. Serious problems - like who is going to pretend to create all of those make-believe "green jobs" now?
Not only will Vango have to find another pretend job, consider how this will negatively effect the thousands of green lobbyists in the pristine DC wilderness that have highly invested in Vango's great green marxist adventure.
Obama Scared Me................
September 6, 2009 - 08:04 ET by GeneralAlObama scared me [I'm in Illinois!] when he came out of the woodwork to be elected Senator! Just as they did in the Presidential election with McCain, the Rinos in Illinois put up Alan Keyes to run against him! What a joke!
Thats when we all started to examin him and got scared! Too bad the rest of the country didn't bother to do the same! We wouldn't have a bunch of Commies in the White House!

Many of us saw Obeyme for what he was back in the primary. He "is" Van Jones. There isn't a lick of difference between Obeyme and the people he surrounds himself with.
As radical as Van Jones seems, Obeyme is just as radical if not more so. He just hides it better. Get him in a room of like-minded individuals and I bet that the real Obeyme emerges. And I bet he's a raging maniac.
He is not who he appears to be.

Lies and distortions? No, you freakin' jackass - you have been caught red-handed with your inflammatory racist comments and a radical background you thought no one would discover! You had absolutely no qualifications to do anything within the context of a presidential administration - then again, you had no clue as to what "green jobs" were, anyway!
Osama Bama's pathetic administration is nothing short of a sham. Thank God for FNC and those who have exposed this and may they never let up.

Wesley Cook, who was in a parking lot on the opposite side of the
street, ran toward Officer Faulkner and William Cook. As he approached,
Wesley Cook shot Officer Faulkner in the back. As Officer Faulkner fell
to the ground, he was able to turn around, reach for his own firearm,
and fire at Wesley Cook, striking him in the chest. Wesley Cook, now
standing over Officer Faulkner, fired four shots at close range.

Jones is out, the next step
September 6, 2009 - 07:42 ET by FeynmanFanJones is out, the next step is to find out why he was given the job in the first place. There have been questions raised about whether Obama didn't know about Jones' background or knew about it and wanted him as an advisor because of his beliefs. Either way, there are important questions that need to be answered to determine whether the Obama administration is incompetent when it comes to vetting people or if Jones is the kind of person Obama wants as an advisor.
If congress isn't going to protect the American people from these kinds of acts by the Obama administration, the American people will have to do it themselves.

Watch how the msm downplays the truth-jones even lied in his resignation letter! Ugh!
One thing I noticed when obama first became pres. I always believed the Whitehouse was the House of the People. Well, Barack believes it is HIS house as he has stated several times. "My house has this...that etc." It is time to take the White House back FOR the people. It is YOUR house and there are enough people outraged by what this pres. is doing with these czars, how he takes NO responsibility for anything etc. that we can make changes.
Getting rid of jones is just the beginning. There are how many other "czars" left??
"Hypocrisy, the lie, is the true sister of evil, intolerance, and cruelty."

September 6, 2009 - 08:04 ET by BourbeauAn absolute egregious oversight (what a shock) by the Obama vetting process, not to mention a despicable appointment (e pluribus unum). Having said that, it's merely the tip of the ice berg of what we have roaming around our goverment in the persona of "Czars", and the country be damned if they don't take note of what happened here and ask for answers.
Where did he have his office? How many people worked for him? Which goverment agency funded his operation? And what 'actions' did he authorize or initiate during his short tenor.
When those questions have been answered, then someone in Congress should be demanding an inquiry as to why there is not a Congressional hearing for these Czars, regardless if it's required.
And lastly, if this was not enough, perhaps the light of inquiry should be showned upon one Valerie Jarrett and begin asking her of what roll she had in bring this monstrosity into our goverment.

With all these czars I am wondering what platform pollies could run on, Whats the point of saying I am going to make sure banks don't rip you off, or we will drill for more oil, better education, when we have czars for all that stuff now. They work for the pres not you or me. They can do what ever they please without congress approval. So the question is even if the repubs win in a landslide in 2010 what are they going to be able to do really, just asking Will congress become obsolete? Is this something worth thinking about or am I just nuts for thinking this way?
Kangaroo - you raise an important point
September 6, 2009 - 08:38 ET by FeynmanFanYou raise an important point about congress playing the role defined for them in the Constitution. The approach Obama's taking with the appointment of "czars" circumvents congress and consolidates more power in the Administrative branch than was ever intended. Although only congress can pass laws, the president has considerable power to exercise control if he isn't properly restrained. What's happening with the Obama administration is very dangerous at several levels and people need to wake up now and start opposing the actions that aren't constitutional - regardless of the alleged "benefits" of Obama's programs.

Having totally ignored the
September 6, 2009 - 08:40 ET by Tom PaineHaving totally ignored the original story about Van Jones, the MSM will now frame this resignation in the context that he was driven out of office by a groups of right wing zelots who are against "health insurance reform". This will fit neatly into the template of people who only get their news from the networks. The Obama administration may now think they are in the clear after this resignation and use it to pre emptively discredit any critic of their polices. Swiftboating is now out and anyone who uses a liberal's own words and actions against them will be said to be "Van Jonesing" their opponent.
What I find even more
September 6, 2009 - 08:45 ET by seanrobinsWhat I find even more amazing, is the tact taken by ABC News in its report:
>>>ABC News's Todd Connor is even more circumspect (audio not available online):
What exactly does he mean by "the official version"? Is Connor suggesting that there is some open issue about what happened on 9/11. Is he suggesting that it IS a matter of opinion, that the towers and the Pentagon wereattact by terrorists from al Quaeda? Is he suggesting that there IS some uncertainty about whether the U.S. government was involved or acquiesced in the 9/11 attacks?
What a dim-witted fool this guy is - referring to the "official version" version of what happened on 9/11 - rather than "what happened on 9/11."
When it comes to Lefty psychos, Czar Jones is hardly in the unpopulated fringes of the party: A lot of them think like this. Eh, Todd Connor?

And grab you off the street for the smallest crime and throw you in the back of the truck for your organs. Read an article for it a few weeks ago, you can probably find it topix. Anyway the chinese are building these trucks for sale to the world and it would be intersting to know if the white house have any on order. sheesh the news only gets better day by day
They argued that this
September 6, 2009 - 10:06 ET by motherbeltThey argued that this could be remedied if government turned the law
around and assumed that, unless people explicitly choose not to, then
they want to donate their organs – a doctrine they call “presumed
consent.”
Every adult in the US is asked, when getting or renewing a drivers' license if they want to be an organ donor, for crying out loud!!
If it's not on their license, they explicitly chose not to!!
Is that too subtle for these people?????
Inquiring minds want to
September 6, 2009 - 09:12 ET by ckc1227Inquiring minds want to know....how many Communists/racists/America-haters does one president have to be involved with before it becomes more than simply "guilt by association"? Hello.....ever heard the saying "Birds of a feather flock together"?
There was no "association"
September 6, 2009 - 10:15 ET by motherbeltThere was no "association".....Rev. Wright was just a guy who preached in Obama's church; Bill Ayers was just a guy he knew from teaching at the University of Chicago....
Valerie Jarrett was the one who said Van Jones, we were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the
White House. We've been watching him really for, he's not that old, for
as long as he's been active out of Oakland
So she was obviously acting of her own accord, nothing to do with the President.... will she be the next to go? \sarc

Van "Plaxico" Jones
September 6, 2009 - 09:23 ET by BKeyserIn honor of the coming NFL season opener, the always gracious Anthony "Van" Jones, and New York Football Giants fans- I offer this. I hope you appreciate the irony ;-b
But, How Does Van REALLY Feel?
September 6, 2009 - 09:26 ET by BondPlainBondAttention! Cojones: RETRACT!
Wow. Talk about a sniveling coward! Jones couldn't go far enough with his White House-sanctioned racist and hate fest/agenda, now he is compelled, because of long-time radical activist training (and his own voice in teaching this kind of racism and hate), to play the wrongly-accused victim.
Suck 'em up, Van. Get used to it. They're gone. You're a liar and YouTube proves it.
So.... I was talking to one
September 6, 2009 - 09:55 ET by River DogSo.... I was talking to one of my little left leaning friends last night and I said " aren’t you fed up with Obamas lies? He said he would have no lobbyists but he does. He said he would end the war then adopted Bushs' war plan. He said he would allow more transparently in government then refused to allow time to read bills before critical votes or even let people see the White House guest book. He said he would seek bipartisan leadership yet let's everyone know he's prepared to push his bills with only support from the Dems. He has expanded our government both in size and expense in massive ways in only a few months... Doesn’t that make you feel let down? "My lefty friend came back with "Well.... Bush lied and had secrets and expanded the government and all that stuff too!" I thought about this for a second and said "...Hmmm so voting for Obama got us 4 more years of Bush? You told me that would only happen if I voted for McCain."
Assuming that some of Obamas supporters actually believed they would get a country that the world loved with a balanced budget that was at peace with everyone because of the magical diplomatic skills of the Dalai-Bama and there would be free cake, flying cars and Unicorn rides for all. Some of those people have to be getting wise to the fact that all that big talks worth doodly squat and what we have is a radical activists commi-unity orgaizer with no clue about what is in the hearts and minds of the American public.
They have to wake up sometime...don't they?
Thanks again MSM
September 6, 2009 - 10:18 ET by Seabeach4348The scum and perverts in the MSM or SRM did everything they could to insulate our Marxist president's sordid past from us.....and they succeeded in their efforts.
Obozo never relevealed important documents such as his college or law school transcripts, and we're still waiting to see his real birth certificate.
He couldn't recall meeting people like his radical commie buddy, Bill Ayers, and he couldn't remember what Rev. Wright said in his sermons even though he went to his church for almost 20 years. And the list is bigger and goes on and on, and, again, the MSM or SRM did their best to conceal this from us too.
Stupidity
September 6, 2009 - 13:06 ET by slickwillie2001Funny, in a post O/T a couple of days ago, I said off-the-cuff that the nutball Jones was probably also a Free-Mumia nut among other things, and they a day or two later someone uncovered evidence of links to evidence that he in fact was a part of the crazy Free-Mumia legion. It's probably safe to say that there is more out there on Jones waiting to be uncovered. Nothing is too far out-there for Jones.
The problem with him obviously is that he is a very stupid man. How can one person believe that 9/11 was a President George W. Bush scheme but at the same time our just desserts for fifty years of foreign policy in the Middle East?
This is further illustration of how meaningless an Ivy League degree is in the age of Affirmative Action. I have little respect left for Yale University after this episode.

I saw it, I remember your post.
You aren't alone with your summation either.
Btw...I think the Columbine youtube video was the end for him, plus he would be taking attention away from his messiah if this kept up next week, after all the adulation he is expecting with his school kids speech, next day to the Joint Session with Congress...he cannot have that, now can he?

I'd like Beck to try to
September 6, 2009 - 15:38 ET by RR GOPI'd like Beck to try to figure out two things.
1. What, if any, communication is there now between Bill Ayers and Obama?
2. Who are the people up there advising the president that we haven't even heard about?
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.
RR... I don't think we
September 6, 2009 - 15:45 ET by bigtimerRR...
I don't think we are ever going to know about the truth regarding what you are saying when it comes to the likes of Ayers or others for that matter, your post reminded me of something I heard a few days back now though, the WH says they will release the visitors names who have came to visit the empty-suit and his team...may be some interesting info coming out...and I do say 'may be'.
I just know a FOIA was filed against the WH and this administration and they are now having to comply.
'Go Green...Recycle Congress'
BT- I think they are
September 6, 2009 - 16:26 ET by TeamcheeserBT-
I think they are releasing names of those who visited after mid-September, meaning we won't get the names of anyone who has been there already.
Also, the names won't be released for a certain amount of time after the visit (I think it's three months or so...), and certain names will be withheld (immediate family of Obama, family of Biden, environmental extremeists, racists Reverands, and commie bastards, etc.)

Just kidding, you have to know I don't think we are ever going to get the truth out of this 'transparent' administration.
'Go Green...Recycle Congress'
bt - the way to do it
September 6, 2009 - 16:34 ET by FeynmanFanThe way to get the information out of this administration is the same process the democrats are using against the Bush administration: get your own party elected and then release the information for them.

'Go Green...Recycle Congress'
bt - wouldn't it be interesting
September 6, 2009 - 17:02 ET by FeynmanFanWouldn't it be interesting to see the Democrats go down and take the MSM with them? With Fox exposing the goings-on behind the facade and the upsurge of conservatives it could definitely happen.
I think, though, that things are going to get a lot uglier before they get better. The left is used to being able to intimidate/shame their opponents into submission, and they will surely step up their game as it gets harder and harder for them to do.
"I support the President but not his policies" - Blonde
→ Feynman
September 6, 2009 - 17:09 ET by Cool ArrowThere's one key missing.
FOX owns mainstream affiliates from which they currently withhold the FOX Evening News.
If FOX decided to open its window during the Katie, Brian, and Diane hour, I'm pretty sure more Americans would have known about Van Jones, Charlie Rangel, Jack Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, et ilk.

Cool - excellent point
September 6, 2009 - 17:15 ET by FeynmanFanI forgot about the Fox affiliates (even though there are two where I live). Do you have any idea why they don't use them to broadcast the Fox Evening News? Wouldn't that give them a huge audience that might eclipse the other networks viewers?

Re Local Fox News
September 6, 2009 - 17:49 ET by slickwillie2001I would like to see them do that as well, but it probably doesn't happen because for local stations the evening news (both 6 & 11pm) is a huge moneymaker for the station. By offering Fox News at newstime, your only additional reach is those on an antenna only, a limited incremental audience.
They could do both though, and eat into some traditionally not-newstime. They could also do it Sunday afternoons if they don't already.
RO... Exactly right...I
September 6, 2009 - 17:17 ET by bigtimerRO...
Exactly right...I for the life of me do not understand why Fox doesn't do as you have suggested, I never have.

Tomorrow never comes. Ever.
RR - Beck has already
September 6, 2009 - 16:33 ET by TeamcheeserRR -
Beck has already mentioned that a group that Ayers' cofounder of the Weather Underground (his name escapes me) either co-authored or heavily influenced the actual language of the Stimulus Package.
He's also mentioned Valerie Jarrett, who introduced Van Jones in one of the video clips that forced his resignation. She is a Senior Advisor to the President and supposedly a BFF too. I looked her up on Google and saw that her parents were born in Iran, so I may look into that a little bit further. (NOTE: I do not believe being from Iran is a negative attribute, but couple that with being close to this President, then I start to worry...)
Michelle Malkin has plenty of stuff on Jarrett though.
Cheeser-Yes, I do remember
September 6, 2009 - 20:13 ET by RR GOPCheeser-Yes, I do remember him talking about that on his show.
I guess it's just that I've been watching All The President's Men again today and I'm in "confirmation" mode, that is, there must be some insider somewhere who's about ready to crack and provide detailed information that can be substantiated.
But like the Watergate story, if no one asks the question...
