No bias in this article. No mention of joining the Rodney King riots or any of the other "inflammatory" remarks he has made. Good job CNN.

Say nothing of the fact that Obama's black buddies are extremely hostile RACISTS of the most dangerous order.

There is no difference in the racist ideologies of Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright, Van Jones, Malik Shabazz, and Louis Farrakhan.

Some are just a little less vocal than others, but they are all virtually the same in their mentalities.

I just read the AP article linked on Drudge. Most readers would hardly know why he “resigned.” And no mention that he signed 9/11 petitions not once, but twice.

Never mind, a lot of folks see it on Drudge, whose numbers are incredibly high.

Notice that each of the lib propaganda outlets has its own explanation for why he resigned, though. And they are each different.

A week on the job. No jobs created, green or otherwise. And it was only the MSM or parts of it, I guess, giving him pressure.

No Congressional investigations or hearings scheduled. It was a job that didn’t need Senate Advise & Consent, like SECDEF or SECSTATE.

So why did he resign. Maybe he couldn’t stand the scrutiny. Maybe he was self-conscious.

Whatever ... good riddance. Now hoe about the rest of them Czars!

The term “hoisted with his own petard” has never been more appropriate, and there are others around Obama similar to Van Jones. Glenn Beck has lots more material to work with, lol.

An administration source told CNN that Jones did not carefully review the language on the petition.

What kind of lawyer doesn't carefully review the language of anything before signing? The man's a racist, a radical AND a liar.

He probably did not resigned at the request of Obama. O probably told him it was best if he left the administration since it was making him look bad.

It looks like “We The People” have assumed the burden of oversight and consent the democrats are so unwilling to shoulder.

I, too, have my explanation as to why he resigned. Cockroaches will not stay still when exposed to the light.

Could well be. Just seems funny as most of this ilk want to ride it out all innocent. Of course we have Daschle too.

Just odd. ‘O’ could have been the prime mover behind the scenes but he just doesn’t seem to be the force behind the throne, to me.

His resignation is a small blow to the Communist revolution that is underway. Keep it up. Whatever it takes to keep Dear 0leader from accomplishing his plans of destruction, keep at it.

The drive-by media has to report on the resignation of someone they never ever had any story on because they were desperate the sheeple never hear of his communist connections. So they make it all about 9-11. Ha ha ha they are such a joke. The media lives in fear, fear of Obama and his minions. Like the unions, Obama will use them until they are of no further use to him. Their day is coming.

I did a search on CNN to see how many articles regarding the van Jones controversy were published. Answer — ONE. Just one titled “White House adviser” resigns.

Yep, everybody I know always “resigns” in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. You know, for publicity of course.

Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama’s pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group’s Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for “global governance” and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change.

By Thursday, Mrs. Browner’s name and biography had been removed from Socialist International’s Web page, though a photo of her speaking June 30 to the group’s congress in Greece was still available.

I recommend replacing him with Dallas Commissioner John Wiley Price.
