nothing will happen,

fox news is the only media covering it,the commies in control of our congress and media are silient as churh mice. who else will obummer get to be chief of police for his police force?

He is sort of like Nancy Pelosi.

By rights and for the sake of integrity she/he should be gone; but we are dealing with liberals here, so such things don’t matter.

He will have no choice...

"Van the Man" has shown a tremendous propensity to put his foot in his mouth and is suffering from JBD - "Joe Biden Disease" - and Osama Bama is putting up with enough scandal already in his pathetic administration so, either way, he'll have to go - by force or by resignation. 

He has also established himself as a hard-core racist. "Only white kids would pull a Columbine"?

Yeah, right. Never mind the black kids that are gunning down each other in their own neighborhoods, you jackass! Of course, since I am white, that makes me a racist for saying that, right?

The Republicans now have another bullet to their arsenal for 2010 to begin the process of shutting down this administration - and it couldn't begin soon enough.

I agree200%, and it would have been fine with me had it started @ 12:01pm on January 20th.

This whole Obama thing is nothing but a sham, and it has been from day one.

As far as the "Columbine"

As far as the "Columbine" crack is concerned, the real answer is:

"Hutus and Tutsis."  The only "white people" who have slaughtered like that are commies like Van.

We need to keep the pressure on Jones and get info on the rest of the Czars, who are equally as radical as Jones. The clips and info gleaned will be great Anti-Dem campaign fodder for 2010

With the silence in the MSM and no talk radio on Monday, they're waiting to see if this dies down over the long weekend.

If he's topic #1 on the Sunday shows, he's gone.

Immediately followed by a speech in which President Obama says "That is not the Van Jones I knew...."

And it ain't gonna be pretty...because as Bond says below, another lousy judgment call by the President.  

Not that he judged wrongly; he knew what he was getting in Jones.  Lousy judgment of  the country's willingness to take his word and put up with this crap.

What gets me is there are

What gets me is there are some, even on Fox News, who act like it's a possibility that Obama doesn't know just how radical some of his appointments really are. I call "BS". He knows how radical they are, that's why he appointed them as his shadow cabinet czars, where they slink into could office without any publicity. He knows they're radical and he's comfortable with their types. For him to say he didn't know about Wright and Jones is like the policeman in Casablanca saying the discovery of gambling was "Shocking, simply shocking!".

Chris, it's noted in the other thread on this subject, that Valerie Jarrett admits that they have been watching Jones for some time and were thrilled to recruit him (her words)! I doubt the President can claim ignorance.  Not unless he wants to say that his staff is running things without his knowledge!

Valerie's Freudian slip?

on Meet the Press, didn't she say "... take power and begin to RULE day one ..." when she was referring to when President Obama was to be inaugurated?  in case no one remembers, here's the youtube link:

“Less 1984 — More 1776"

Tough Choice

But, after very brief consideration, there's no way Obama will fire him to create a teachable moment.

That means Obama would have to EXPLAIN - AGAIN!!!! - why his personal judgment is so very, very poor (or vetting system failed and why); or, admit his radicalism runs just as deeply and the appointment of Van Jones' was deliberate and intentional (vetting did not take place).

We are due, however, an explanation as to how an individual with such an extensive and public background of radicalism, racism, and communism was able to gain entry into the White House to begin with.

Obama's vetting process is supposed to be the toughest on record.  Well, I'm thinking Obama's administration is just saying it's the toughest to further pull the wool over our eyes.  How Obama got the highest security clearance in the land is still beyond me.  No way anyone else with the cast of characters he had in his life (Wright & Ayers just to begin) would even be considered for a security clearance.  Not even the low-level "Confidential" clearance.

Someone, some agency, some department dropped the ball on this one.  Those that issue security clearances must explain themselves and/or the White House must explain itself.

Whoa Nelly. Are you telling me he got a security clearance?

   Whoa Nelly. Hold up there girl. Let's stop this wagon.

   What security clearance did he get? They pass out Secret like it's candy and it's the very first Halloween ever. Confidential, you just have to have a history of breathing.

   Top Secret and above is different. They scrub your life history. What was it?

  Also, it is a shame but winning a Presidential election gets you the highest clearance ever devised. You get access to the whole show. The top top tippy top clearance? Hoopy Doopy TipTop Wowwee Dingers Top Top Top Secrect. They sit you down and tell you where the alien bodies from Area 51 are located. 16 stories below the White House, being used as generator to heat the White House and Cheneys ultra Top Tippy Tiptop Secret 25 room bunker.

Oops. Wait. Did I...? Scrub that. You never saw that. (FLASH) You never heard that. You never saw the men in black.

BPB...

I'm not holding my breath waiting for the accountability from the WH to explain this away anytime soon.

'Go Green...Recycle Congress'

The Obama-esque lie

“How Obama got the highest security clearance in the land is still beyond me.”

Obama got his “security clearance” from the media – No background checks whatsoever, and spiking and hiding whatever they knew – and 53% of the country accepted it. 
Kind of makes you wonder what, if anything, will be left of this country by 2012, after Obama and his czars get done undermining everything they can get their hands on in this country.  Some people are wondering if 2008 will go on record as the last fair election in what use to be the US of A; but this could well be moot after Obama and his czars are done destroying this country.

“Obama's vetting process is supposed to be the toughest on record.” This is a pure lie.

After 1992 we had the “Clintonesque lie” noted for its deceptive use of language to trick the audience into hearing one thing, while it could at least be eventually deconstructed to figure out how he could possibly say such a thing, – “I didn’t have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinski.” “I never had sex with Juanita Broaderick”  etc.

Then in 2008 people marveled at how a “brilliant” upstart could beat out Hillary Clinton, an accomplished practitioner of the Clintonesque lie.  Subsequently, we, like Hillary, have been getting continuous lessons on the Obama-esque lie, which is a pure lie, involving no tricky language stunts or duplicitous logic.  No, sir, none of that.  An Obama lie is a pure lie.  It is predicated on hiding and blocking whatever information could contradict the lie, for example, his whole background.  This is where the media comes in and covers for their creature, which is most of what the Obama lie needs.  It is the case for the present that there are some people who are not buying the Obama lie, and who are fighting, in spite of the media, to expose his lies.  Suppressing those insurgents is the responsibility of ACORN, coupled with control of the Internet and the NSA, and also there is George Soros and his organizations to also pitch in.

If the insurgents do not win, subsequent elections will be moot.

Van Jones is not going anywhere

Van Jones is not going anywhere. He may lose his Czar adviser title, the official position in the WH inner circle. May be dismissed from the "official" payroll of the executive branch. But he will always be in Obama ear. Obama knew who Van Jones was before he picked him and all his opinions and he picked him because of his opinions.

For every Van Jones out in the open how many are hidden advisers.

But at least in that

But at least in that situation he won't have the "czar" title and won't have any real authority of his own.

I think that if he is the major subject of the talk shows on Sunday, he will resign on Monday, being the holiday, before everyone gets back to the office.

He may not have any authority now with the title.

He may not have any authority now with the title. But even without it he will still command those who do and on what levers to push and where to send the money.

I really do not know why so

I really do not know why so many are getting into such a rut with this guy? He appologised! His past is cleansed!, it is irrelevant. The press must be right in that conservatives are really dumb! Apparently only the enlightened and intelligent liberals realize that when Obama, who is the greatest and smartest person to walk the earth since "Adam", reaches out to someone that all their history is forgotten, forgiven and irrelevant. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a racist, gun toting, bible thumping neanderthal!

 

And my kid is not going to school on Obama day!

He'll do the Daschle D!ck

He'll do the Daschle D!ck Dance. Resign, do a lateral move to a Soros' Org with a bonus and maintain contact with the admin. I'm sure he's one of Duh One's Blackberry buddies.

If an unborn child cannot trust you, why should I,?? 

He' ll be promoted

Now that the country knows he is a commie, Comrade President Obama will make him a dual czar. He will be the 2 color czar. His titles will be the "green jobs czar" and the new "exterminate whitey czar"

I wouldn't be

surprised if he replaced Biden. He has the mouth for it. 

"Beware the fury of the patient man." - John Dryden

He's got it made

The creep will resign to "protect the president from unwarranted attacks from the nasty right-wingers". He'll immediately become another superstar for the left. He'll make millions. Sadly, that's the way it goes today.

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

He has to go.

  The MSM has hitched their wagon to Obama. He goes down, they go down.

  But they forgot Fox News. People can still watch that and they are turning to Fox in droves. As long as Fox, and by Fox I mean Glenn Beck in this case, will not let it go. It will stay front and center with the American people and will distract from any message President Obama tries to put out there. 

Sincerely,

a Veteran of a 1000 psychic wars.

What difference will it

What difference will it make?  Even if Van Jones gets turfed, we're still stuck with a Murderer's Row of Marxist incompetence: Romer, the Emmanuel brothers, Larry Summers, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Cass Sunstein, Sebelius, "Below Average Joe" Biden...with That One on the mound and Stretch, Body Odor, Schmuckie, "Little Dick" Durbin, "Countrywide Chris" Dodd, Barney Frank the Cathouse Madam and Nostrilitis on the bench and in the bullpen, we're screwed until we get competent management to replace this collection of turds.

Meanwhile, The Community Organizer will probably do a late season call up, dipping into the Americorp minors to promote Kevin Johnson as Jones' replacement.  After all, KJ has loads of experience creating "green jobs" on the taxpayer's back...pretty soon, we'll all have Green Jobs, as the new Green Czar will hire us to wash his car and take out his drycleaning.

I picked other, although my gut instinct is he will let him go sometime next week during his wonderful two days of air time, when he is hoping no one will pay much attention...then again, who knows with this far leftist administration.

Speaking of Van and such, here is a link, I'm putting it here for the delight of the caption presented I got viewing it.

'Go Green...Recycle Congress'

Jones and Obama

I really don't know. The white house sluffed it off. They are so arrogant they may keep him. After all, he is one of them. Obama obviously believes the same communist crap he does, so in their minds we are the crazies and they are not. I hope Obama keeps him. It will infuriate the populis more. I can't wait to get rid of this guy and his ilk.

I voted "Other" due to the fact that I don't have a clue

If we were living in anything resembling "sane" times, Van Jones would have never been allowed a job anywhere near government.

Of course, it would also mean that Barack Hussein Obama would still be prowling the streets of Chicago, with bullhorn in hand and clipboard at the ready, spewing his not-so-subtle anti-white racism while agitating the communities of Chicago into a frenzy.

We are living in an upside-down and backward world now. Very little makes sense anymore.

'Go Green...Recycle Congress'

radicals??

I think one thing to consider is that Obama does NOT consider any of his appointments as radical. Was it not Obama who said something like "If you want to know about me, look at who I hang around with." Also he has stated he sought out the Socialist and Marxist in his early years. I mean he gave his "game plan" away from the beginning! So what is radical about his choices?

 

And as Michele (sp?) stated: "He will not let you go back to how you were ( or something like that)!"

i voted other

any of the above....who knows...Obama can get away with what ever he wants. Beck is right, except us ppl here at NB, the majority don't want to be called nazis, mobs, racists, etc.   MSM   sick

black racists don't get punishe at all

instead, they get rewarded. But any white who criticizes Van will get labelled as a "racist".

America works on nothing but a double standard, through and through.

I'm gonna go with nothing. And we will continue to hear the crickets from the MSM.

Van Jones

Forget Van Jones...its the whole package.  Throw all the rats in the white house out, and then move to Congress and throw 80% of the rats there...

Van Jones won't be fired, he will have a change of title.  But the fact of the matter is, Van Jones is Obama.

Its not like the good 'ol

Its not like the good 'ol days. Even with a press blockaid they will be forced to acknowledge this eventually. Fox is mentioning it 24/7 which usually means the major networks will do a blurb on Monday. When it was just "crazy" Glenn Beck they could justify saying it wasn't news but not anymore.  

After the major networks mention it, the end should be in sight.

Van Jones

I don't believe this Van Jones person is going anywhere soon. The MSM love Obama too much to cover anything about his story, which to most level-headed people would be an embarassment.

TOTUS really has some sterling friends and aquaintances? If the state run media were on the ball we would not be continuing to have these conversations.

Nothing will happen!

He will apologize, and Obama will apologize for him.  The liberal media will accept those apologies, and life will continue in the Obama administraton as normal.

It is going to be a long 4 years.  I highly recommend those that are unhappy with Obama get their act together and circle the wagons.  Get on the same page and start prepping a candidate for 2012.

"Not for fame or reward, not for place or rank, not lured by ambition or goaded by necessity.  But in simple obedience to duty." - From the barracks at Ft. Benning

If Van Jones leaves for any

If Van Jones leaves for any reason then that would be a major coups for Glenn Beck.

Just can't see them swallowing that bitter pill.

But, it surely would be sweet for many of us!

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.

I don't know.........

I think he will resign. In fact, I would bet my next paycheck on it and I don't work.

Wow! NO NETWORK COVERAGE!!!

Wow! NO NETWORK COVERAGE!!! Foxnews and a few internet sites singlehandedly brought down a Czar! (Opps I mean advisor.) Watch for network outrage. They were totally irrelevant.

Wait For It...

RACISTS! RACISTS, ONE AND ALL!

Or, so the kossacks, the huffing-and-puffington posters, the [s]think progress, [un]democratic underground and other left wing radical pundit types will screech.

--

We need to stop calling them "Progressives" when in reality they are big government "Socialists" who no longer value the individual's rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

No Time To Relax

I just voted--after Jones' resignation was announced--that he would resign. Not very full of insight there, eh? <wink>

However, this is no time to relax or rest on our laurels. There are still many radicals in the federal government who need to be exposed for exactly who or what they are.

Keep up the pressure, everyone. It is the only way to show the political class that they are there to serve us, not us serving them!

Q.M

Dave is correct.  There are so many things happening that don't make sense that we are definitely living in an upside-down and backward world.  It seems inconceivable that the things that have happened with GM and the banks could have ever happened in a sane world where the Constitution still governed what the government can and cannot due.  It's just appalling that the Obama administration can do the things it's doing with such impunity.

I'm getting a little more than irritated that there are no Republicans who can effectively speak out against this stuff.  The only groups that are having any real impact are Fox News and the conservative protesters.  It's clearly time to vote everyone out of office and start all over again.
