Van Jones- The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Sep 5, 2009 Political
Well, it’s Saturday, Sept. 5, and the betting pool is underway on just when Van Jones, admitted Communist, twice arrested criminal “green jobs Czar”- personally appointed by the Marxist in Chief, will get the boot from his master.
My money is on Sunday, the 6th. That would bury the bad news that Vannie is out of a sweet gig in the Labor Day BBQ recipe section in most newspapers. This should have never happened- not that he was tossed, that is right, but that he was appointed at all.
You would think that this WH staff would be more familiar with Google than they were, or perhaps, (and this is scary), the vetters did not think that his past was a factor. If the people doing the vetting were FBI, then this is inexcusable, and we need to thoroughly clean the ranks of the “Feebs”, because they have lived down to their nickname- and that is a shame for an organization with such a stellar past.
Still, what can you expect, with so many people kissing the hem of Hussein’s robe, the Mainstream Media being especially slobbery and craven. They have been so bad, that no mention of Van Jones and his increasingly radical past has been made on any MSM network.
Then came the “truther” statement, signed by Van Jones in 2004- and the man lies and says he did not know what the content of the document he was signing was- a lie- but that is par for the course. Did you expect a criminal to tell the truth? Hah!
On Friday a 2002 document emerged in which Jones was on the “organizing committee” of a newspaper called WAR TIMES — “A New, Biweekly, Tabloid Newspaper Opposing the ‘War on Terrorism.'”
The WAR TIMES document asserts that the “world’s most powerful nation has mercilessly bombed Afghanistan and is installing a neo-colonial government of its own choosing, although that country has never attacked the U.S. Millions of Afghans have been displaced and face starvation this winter. The administration has also green-lighted massive Israeli assaults on Palestine, and it threatens to attack Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia, and other countries. The agenda seems clear: to remake the world in the rightwing image with little regard for human consequences.”
WAR TIMES’s announcement appeared with the announcement of a protest march demanding a congressional inquiry into whether and how much the Bush administration may have played a role in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Gee whiz- isn’t that a kick in the pants, Vannie- you didn’t know what you were organizing in 2002 either, I’ll bet- you were in a coma,yeaaaaaaa, that’s the ticket, you were kidnapped, byyyyyyyyy, Karl Marx, yeaaaa that’s right-
Come on Van, Man Up, if you can– you should never have been appointed by the Ears in Chief, but you were, simply because all you “Elitist Progressives” believe that the rest of the world is too stupid to know or care. Not so- we will catch you in your lies, and you all spin a bunch of them.
The tip off should be the company you keep- here’s a clue- if Janene Garofalo signs the petition, you should not. If Rosie O’Donnell puts her Jane Hancock on the paper, stay away. But nooooooooooo- you thought that surely this wouldn’t bite you in the butt.
So wrong, so long.
Update: Now, the Czarships themselves are under fire, brought on by Jone’s radical past- but he is not the only one-
Republicans and a handful of Democrats have called on the White House to review and suspend its use of czars. Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.) on Friday asked for a Senate hearing on the Jones appointment.
“In the wake of these recent revelations, the president should suspend any further appointments of so-called czars until Congress has an opportunity to examine the background and responsibilities of these individuals and to determine the constitutionality of such appointments,” said Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), Chairman of the House Republican Conference, who called on Jones to resign.
The czar-attacks have begun to catch fire far beyond the Beltway. In town hall meetings across the country this August, questioners slammed the administration’s advisers, claiming that they allowed the White House to wield unchecked power.
It’s an argument that’s been fed by Republicans in Congress, who see an opening to attack the credibility of the popular administration. In an Arizona town hall meeting last week, Republican Sen. John McCain joked that Obama, “has more czars than the Romanovs” — a laugh line he frequently uses. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich calls the czars, “administrative chaos.”
Conservatives argue that the czars are the administration’s way of pushing a big government agenda – without Congress getting in the way. And each whiff of controversy, they believe, helps them prove their point.
Conservative pundits are on a czar hunt, combing records for politically dangerous statements made by the policy advisers.
