Dean: Jones' Resignation a 'Loss for the Country' The former presidential candidate vigorously defends Van Jones, who resigned in the wake of criticism over his past statements and associations.

FOXNews.com

Sunday, September 06, 2009

Former Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Sunday that the resignation of White House green jobs adviser Van Jones is a "loss for the country."

The outspoken Democrat and former presidential candidate vigorously defended Jones, who resigned in the wake of criticism over his past statements and associations -- including his past support for a group that believes the Bush administration may have been involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.

"I think he was brought down," Dean told "FOX News Sunday," saying he just spoke to Jones. "I think it's a loss for the country."

He means Cuba, of course.

What Dean meant to say was that, "Jones resignation is a loss of our marxist vision of the country."

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.

I think he was brought down," Dean told "FOX News Sunday
How was he "brought down"?

Who has the power to "bring him down?"

The media didn't cover the story.

Obammy's party controls congress.

Everybody knows Glenn Beck is a bad guy and can't be believed.

So then who, exactly, "brought him down"?

Why did obammy pay attention to Fox News and fold on this one?

Is obammy a chicken-sh1t POS... or was Fox News (and Glenn Beck) ACTUALLY CORRECT???

Allow me to put this statement through the Transmogrifier: "I think he was brought down BY HIS OWN HAND," Dean told "FOX News Sunday," saying he just spoke to Jones. "I think it's a loss for the country WE USED TO CALL THE U.S.S.R."

There. That's better.

Not sure about the country, but Van Jones is a complete loss and he has been such for a long time.
Well, maybe not exactly complete, the bus is moving and that is what’s important for our Dear Leader...

Valery Jarrett - closest adviser to the Dear Leader. She proclaim Van Jones a “visionary” and was bragging that he is coming to the Administration since March.

Not “the visionary”, of course, just “a”. “The” would be our Dear Leader.

I’ll miss Van Jones. He was a comic genius, albeit unintentional. I’d rather he stuck around. His seething, oozing, smug, racist, hate would have been quite useful for the GOP. Now the next “czar” will be somebody who is too the left of Trotsky but has a milqetoast personality. Thats no fun.

Enough with the damn Czars already. I’m hoping a “Rasputin” shows up and culls the herd of Czars that seem to be sprouting up.

The USSA. Only proves that the entire DNC is communist, trying to pretend their socialists. Fact is, they used to all be called socialist in the 20s until that word had some bad publicity and they changed their names to communists until the 50s.

Pray for the Tea Parties

Darn. I was hoping Van Jones stayed. It would have been great for us to have Obama and Gibbs defend him. The fact that Van Jones quit means he will be forgotten next week.

Typical. Jones is being made out as the victim in all this. Though as far as the great majority of uninformed out there, that probably makes no difference. It’s not as if they are rushing to take 0bama’s side in this. It’s just too bad most will never know the full extent of his administration’s extremism.

Here they go- race card and victim card- a double winner. The only thing that would make it better for them is if Jones had been a woman.

Mr. Jones- you brought yourself down. When average, normal Americans heard your own words- they were uneasy. Your beliefs and point of view are divisive and filled with hate for white people.

IF, you had just been Van Jones, proponent of green energy and global warming- we would have simply debated you on the merits. But you are much less about green than you are about racist, marxist red. THAT is what brought you down.

Apologies to Queen:

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

Everybody knows Glenn Beck is a bad guy and can't be believed.

Not only is Beck a bad guy, but all advertisers abandoned him, his ratings fell into the toilet, and I heard he's living under the overpass with a jug of wine. He's totally ineffectual.

That's what the commies would have liked to have happened. In reality, as you know, his ratings have SOARED.

I agree. I prefer the phrase “Obama’s Green Jobs Czar is an admitted Communist” to “Obama’s former Green Jobs Czar is an admitted Communist.”

We might find ourselves arguing with someone, saying something like “Everyone knows Obama is a Socialist, and it really looks like he might be a Communist - look at his Green Jobs Czar Van Jones, who has admitted he’s a Communist.” Now they can reply “Obama is not a Communist, Obama made a mistake with Van Jones and the mistake has been corrected.”

I don’t think we should work too hard to get these scalps. These Czars really don’t have that much power.

I hope Holdren stays in, so that we can say “Is it the official Obama position that babies aren’t people? I know that the Science Czar Holdren has said that babies don’t become human beings at birth, but require “essential early socializing experiences” in the “years after birth” in order to “ultimately” become human beings.”

If you ever want to argue that Obama is bats**t crazy, Holdren’s the man with that. We shouldn’t be in a hurry to get Holdren’s scalp.
