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."
Dean pointed to Jones' credentials as a Yale Law School graduate and best-selling author.

Among thinking people, actually a huge reason not to give him ANY power or responsibility.

Dean pointed to Jones' credentials as a Yale Law School graduate and best-selling author.
Those are credentials to be the Green Jobs Czar? How about a degree in science? Or economic development? Or any kind of actual experience creating actual private sector jobs?
To: JohnD9207
Certainly not a loss for the USA!

Yeah, well, Dean thought the ending of his own presidential candidacy was a loss for the country, so I guess we can’t really go by him.

Oh, my, what a loss for this country...NOT...
Van Jones is a racist and bitter man, to watch him speak is to watch total hatred for America and intellectual discussion...good riddance, Van...
I also seriously doubt he will be gone out of Obama’s sphere of influence - look at Daschle - he never got the job in the Cabinet due to the personal tax issues, but he’s still a ‘senior adviser’ - Van will never go away...

*Howard Dean pointed to Jones’ credentials as a Yale Law School graduate and best-selling author*
The Dean was asked about the Truther petition Van Jones signed.
Dean said, we all sign petitions we don’t read.
Waaaaat, this Yale educated best selling author doesn’t read what he signs.

If this doesn’t wake people up as to who these jerks really are . . . to even think of defending a whackjob like Jones speaks volumes of their partisanship stupidity
To: Red in Blue PA
Howard Brush Dean III, child of privilege, limousine liberal, and political gadfly, always has a word of defense for anyone who has spoken dismissively of Republicans.
Which is odd, as he is one of the “rich”, and therefore of what is known to be a despised class by all true Democrats.

Why didn’t they ask him if he agreed with Jones positions such as the governement was responsible for 9/11, only whites boys shoot up schools, white corporate companies are polutting minority neighbors, etc. Put his ass on the spot.

A Loss?
These people are an active danger to this Country. Dean and the whole lot... They won't stop. Ever.
This is going to end in bloodshed. Damn them...

He said that he had spoken with Jones, and that Jones should not be held responsible for signing the Sept. 11 petition.
“He was told by the people waving those clipboards around that he was signing something else,” Dean said. “I think that’s too bad.”

I think I heard it was an on-line petition

And what country would that be, you looney-tune? Our country and particularly this administration has no shortage of socialists. I’m sure BO will find another to fill the position of Watermelon Czar (green on the outside and red on the inside).
To: SoCalPol
Your assuming he can read.
Van graduated from Harvard's affirmative action program. Nothing about his record proves he can read, only that he benefited from being black from ive league schools with white guilt syndrome.
He is practically zero's blood brother.
To: happinesswithoutpeace
Yea, he’s a loss for the country all right. A loss of a communist radical. Thank God!!!!

What else did he sign that he had not read? I would find this rather chilling if he were my DOCTOR (Howard Dean M.D.) He could be getting a call from a malpractice lawyer ... Oh wait, they are all fellow Democrats ...
Think Howard will go swimming up there in New England? I'm sure those Great Whites will practice 'professional courtesy' for him.

So Dean thinks that hiring a communist, cop-hating, U.S.A bashing, 9/11 truther to work in the White House is a good thing?
