Meg Whitman: Van Jones Is ‘Doing a Marvelous Job’

A mysterious YouTube member named, conveniently, “megwhitmanonvanjones,” has uploaded a May 2009 San Francisco Chronicle video of 2010 GOP California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, in which the former CEO of eBay and former adviser to Mitt Romney and John McCain gushes about suddenly controversial green jobs czar Van Jones.

"There’s a guy over in Oakland, I think his name is Van Jones. And he and I were on a cruise last summer in the Arctic, on climate change. And I got to know him very well. And a lot of the work he’s doing to enfranchise broader communities I’m a big fan of. He’s doing a marvelous job… I’m a huge fan of his. He is very bright, very articulate, very passionate. I think he is exactly right."

The political problem here? Whitman is a wealthy Republican trying to win the GOP gubernatorial nomination from conservative candidates Steve Poizner and Tom Campbell, both with stronger ties to the party’s base. And here she is, on video, proclaiming her friendship for the current Emmanuel Goldstein of the conservative movement.

If she's nominated (or Heaven forbid) elected, we'll finally know the California GOP is just a branch of the Democratic Party.

I have no respect for anyone who goes on a cruise for climate change.

“He is very bright, very articulate, very passionate. I think he is exactly right.”

Exactly right for what?? What happened on her trip to see the big snow cone aboard a ship?

[a fool in paradise]

Climate change is a scam.

If a CEO of a billion dollar company fell for it, she’s likely to wire money to Nigerian banking scammers too.

[Jeff Head]

Another absolute RINO. The fact she was on a cruise with this guy about Climate Change says all I need to know.

Look at Obama's inner circle throughout his life...and the picture is clear, including regarding just exaclty who Whitman is cozying up to.

Van Jones = Frank Davis = Bill Ayers = Bernardine Dohrn = Jeremiah Wright = Tony Rezko = Rashid Khalidi = Raila Ordinga = Carol Browner = Rahm Emanuel = John Holdren = Eric Holder = Ezekiel Emanuel = BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

This is who the man, Obama, is. A cauldron of corruption, greed, marxism and communism...with disturbing ties to radical Islam.

...he is also now the President of the United States of America, and he is going about, with a will, and very methodically destroying the free market and fundamental republican principle within our nation.

We need to purge our Party of these people once and for all. They had their chance with John McCain, and were rejected big time - but their egos are so inflated they can’t just crawl away and shut up, but have to act like they’re still meaningful in any way.

Whitman? Romney? McCain? Huckabee? TAKE A HIKE, YOU LOSERS.

The only person I want to be reminded of from the last election is Sarah Palin.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This woman is toast. Who is going to vote for her, the hard left? Because conservatives and even independents sure in the Hell ain't.

[indcons]

Van Jones’ admirer? Meg Whitman is a mor0n.

“...enfranchise broader communities.” This is code for “people who work give what they earn to people who don’t work.”

[brytlea]

Yup.

[Stosh]

“And he and I were on a cruise last summer in the Arctic, on climate change”

Finally, the solution to climate chage - what we need is for *everyone* in the country to go on a cruise for climate change, not just these elite.

Sign me up!

Rinos of a rino hide herd together.

[marron]

She thinks the guy is doing a great job on global warming.

If you were looking for a replacement for Swartzenegger, she isn’t it. We’ve got to keep looking. I’d say, at minimum, a would-be Repub candidate ought to be able to say out loud that Van Jones is a lunatic.

This could be a pretty good litmus test. Any Repub anywhere, just ask him. Would you characterize Van Jones as a lunatic? If he hems and haws, if he waffles, just strike him from your list. If he can answer clearly, “yes, and that ain’t the half of it...” then please ping me, freepmail me, I’ll go to work for the campaign and we’ll get this guy elected.

According to Emmanuel Goldstein is a fictional character in George Orwell's classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four ...rumoured to be a former top member of the ruling (and sole) Party who had broken away early in the movement and started an organization known as "The Brotherhood", dedicated to the fall of The Party.

[Noumenon]

She serves the Dark Side.

[Voter62vb]

Was that the cruise ship that came into port with a dead whale bent over the bow nose?

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

She’s not buying it. She’s part of the sales team.

A a conman, charming charlatan, a rasputin — never men one should give a live ear to. Too dangerous. Meg Whitman took the morphine offered by the charming Death Dispenser.
