How do you “not intentionally” sign a petition?

Unless you’re a complete and utter moron?

Oh.... Wait........

Howard Dean: "A loss for our vision of the country."

That's what he really means.

Jones said he quit, and I quote, "after a vicious smear campaign against me."

Yep, Jones, it's those vicious smears of the truth that are the worst kind...ultimately, they'll get you every time. In the end, you can't run from who you are.

But the heart of this issue, which like with Gates, Wrigth, Ayers, etc. the mai stream media is not reporting, is this:

Look at Obama's inner circle throughout his life...and the picture is clear.

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

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

Right, and Van Jones also didn't intentionally accuse the US government of bombing downtown New York at an anti-American rally in Oakland a mere 2 days after 9/11...

So Democrats want us to believe that a “brilliant” man who graduated from YALE LAW didn’t bother to actually read a petition about 9/11 himself. He simply signed it because some aide told him to? I don’t know which is worse: Admitting you are a truther, or admitting you don’t read what you sign when you want to run part of the government.

Most of the “news” media are glossing over Jones’s anti white, anti American rants. They’re making it just sound like a witch hunt. If that were true then all the other extremists 0 appointed would be on their way out too.

The 1992 L.A./Rodney King Riots and the Revolutionary Communist Party (Van Jones, Maxine Waters)
multiple sources

Posted on Saturday, September 05, 2009 9:06:27 AM ET by ETL

"Jones was arrested during the L.A. riots and spent a short time in jail. "I met all these young radical people of color," he recalls, 'I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, "This is what I need to be a part of." I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.'..."

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2332798/posts
___________________________________________________

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.

Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

I wonder if these idiots know that they are going to start a race war in this country?

They keep accusing us of being racists sooner or later some of their “followers” are going to go nuts and start rioting.

I suspect it’s all part of the plan.

Let's see...

Howard Dean wants us to believe that Van Jones is worthy as a green jobs Czar because he put his pen to paper and wrote a book.

Howard Dean wants us to believe that when Van Jones put his pen to paper to sign the Truther petition he did not know what he was writing his approval to.

I suppose when Van Jones proclaimed that he was a communist, he did not know what he was saying then.

I am pretty sure, though, that Howard Dean thinks that when Jones called Republicans "assholes" he should be taken at his word.

And he didn’t deliberately say that white people were deliberately polluting minority neighborhoods, or that only white teenagers would implement murder at Columbine and that black teens wouldn’t do that. Of course the black teens in the south side of Chicago are shooting each other off at the rate of 32 per month in Obama’s own former district.

He didn’t deliberately say either that he intends to use his green movement to implement the Marxist change of American society.

Just like they’ll claim that Mark Lloyd the new FCC ‘diversity’ czar didn’t deliberately give a speech admiring Hugo Chavez’s takeover of all the press in Venezuela. OR that he intends to do the same in the US with his ‘localism’ policy.

Got to CHANGE America! Got to CHANGE America to a Marxist state!

Yup, my guess is that his 9/12/2001 statements starting to come to light is what really motivated his withdrawal. And for 'revolutionaries' like him there's ALWAYS more stuff out there.

For instance, besides his name on that Truther petition and his post-9/11 comments, there's also now his comments about the 1992 Rodney King Riots. Republicans and Conservatives need to dig, dig, dig on Jones and others ...

VJ and the DBM can blame it all on a racist witch hunt and think they can fool most of the people. Fact is, most of those people don't care a whit about a fleeting story like this and those who do know what really went down.

The DU crowd will blame Obama for not standing up for this guy.

Well, if you ever had any doubt, Dean is a Communist and an anti-American and terrorist sympathizer. How else to explain this sympathy?

From what I hear them say, a lot of people on the left, like Dean, agree with the comments Jones has made regarding American racism, prejudice, imperialism, exploitation of minorities, brutality towards third-world countries, etc. They just phrase their ideas a little less directly.

So to them, Jones was indeed the object of a "smear" because there was nothing wrong with what he said. The mistake Jones made was that he was too explicit - should have used some "nuance," which would have given him some cover - like "taken out of context," "misinterpreted," etc.

My friend offered to work for the census and had taken a test, easily passed, but was never called upon to take part in the census. I believe this was a scam to simply bring in the Acorn mobsters and skew the vote. Most of these Demoncrats who were voted in with a slimey and crooked rigging of the vote here in Colorado. Astonishing and out rageous behavior from the radicals in Colorado, we now have this “secret” candidate in the Senate, placed there by the commies in the DNC. Senator Udall and his “pal” Senator Bennet, a virtual unknown with nothing but family connections and a communist agenda. We are hoping to not elect the appointed one and then rid our wonderful State of the stench of the Udall family.

Carefull Dean, or you will have your own line in this song.

Another One Under the Bus

Oh! Let's go!
Greyhound One rolls down K street
Barry’s head hangin’ low
Rush done got the scoop on another old friend
Now that sucka has to go

No time for tears, no time for good byes,
Just jerk him up out of his seat!
Open the doorway, toss him out,
He screams to the sound of the beat

Yeah

Another one under the bus
Another one under the bus
And another one gone
And another one gone
Another one under bus
Hey
He's gonna ditch you too
Another one under the bus

Barry knew if he went far not all friends could come along
But hey its cool, he doesn’t miss them when they’re gone
He lets them make him look strong
And then moves on on his own "You’re my friend ‘til I’m worried
So you better not bring me any heat
Or out the doorway you ass will fly And you too will scream
To the sound of the beat"
Look out

Another one under the bus
Another one under the bus
And another one gone
And another one gone
Another one under bus
Hey He's gonna ditch you too
Another one under the bus

E-he! Alright!
Hey
Oh take it – Under the bus
Under the bus, hey
Hey Another one under the bus
Another one under the bus, ow
Another one under the bus, he he
Another one under the bus, hay yay ya ya ya
Ooh shout

How many friends have made Barry look bad
And he’s thrown them to the ground?
There’s Bill Richardson, Tom Daschle,
Louis Caldera, William Ayers,
Granny was thrown too, and you know Biden’s soon to follow
Yeah
Van Jones, Father Pfleger and
Reverend Wright have hit the street
Out of the doorway they all flew
As they screamed to the sound of the beat

Another one under the bus
Another one under the bus
And another one gone
And another one gone
Another one under bus, yeah
Hey, He's gonna ditch you too
Another one under the bus

This resignation will only serve to make an angry seething man more angry. He and Mumia will continue to transmit this seething anger to others. Before long we can expect real trouble. Rev. Wright has been working in the community for years and spreading hostility. Obama walks beside them and has a nice smile. This cannot end well

This communist thug’s resignation is: Good news.

This racist communist/hate America A$$hole should never been near the White House.

Who vetted him? If he was vetted, did the FBI fail to vet him properly or did 0b0z0 and his other unvetted thugs block the FBI. The Secret Service should have prevented this criminal thug from even being near the pres___nt.

It is past time to really vet every Czar appointed by Obozo re criminal investigations, tax audits, past present associations with left wing super rich like George $0re$$, and lets bring back the loyalty oath. Who are these Czars and what is their goal towards America?

Last but not least, who in the hell are the writers of these massive spending bills that will destroy America or weaken it. The rats in congress aren’t smart enough to write these 1000 page bills. They can’t even defend their health bs bill at public hearings, so they didn’t write them. Identify the writers of these massive destroy America bills and let Glenn Beck, Fox News, conservative talk radio and the internet vet and expose them.

This racist A$$hole was just another poster thug of my 2009 tagline.

“Before long we can expect real trouble.”

I believe you’re right. I fear that those who have exposed Jones and the entire obama agenda are going to be targeted more fiercely from this point on. And it won’t stop there. I believe some Americans knew exactly what they were voting for in November but the great majority did not. See what they’ve unleashed.
