"He was swift-boated," said Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink and a San Franciscan who has known Jones for 15 years. She spoke to him recently and said he was "very conflicted" about whether to resign.

Yes. He was. Literally, but not in the sense that liberals use the term.
Boo effing hoo.........go cry into your milk and get used to it, there’s a lot more whoopass coming your way.
Good riddance to this POS. Now let’s get rid of some more “progressives”.
Swift-boarded.
You just have to love it when the libtards get a dose of their own medecine.
and they dont like their own medicine, they can dish it out but run screaming for blood when they get in back in return.
Seriously how can anyone take someone serious when they call themselves Code Pink.
“He was swift-boated,” said Medea Benjamin
..
medea, he made his own darn torpedoes
Now there is an icon of worth to be attached to for credible gain. /s
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
COMMUNISTS Decry Resignation of Van Jones
The ultra-libs ought to just shut up. THey’re giving away what real whack-jobs they are.
By those nasty conservatives and their most vile and viscious weapon: objective truth.
Progressives = Communists
Progressively yours,
Cindy Sheehan
ps-If you see Jesse tell him to call me.
Progressives - progressively getting up my nose to such an extent you cant get rid of the smell.
At the source comments, one reader said...”swiftboated? Please! He was “you-tubed.”’
Is there anything the communists( not liberals or progressives,call them what they are!) don’t whine about? Really, it was the light shinned on what was already out there in his own words that did in Jones, nothing else.
"The urge to save the world is always a false front for the urge to rule it."
--H.L. Mencken (source unconfirmed)
You broke the code, didn’t you?
And making it ever more problematic and embarassing for (more or less) "normal" libs, moderates and presstitutes to continue their standard practice of politely ignoring rampant and kooky extremism in Dem party ranks. (further comment here) Pass the popcorn!
Weren’t they the group were very patriotic because they disagreed with the government?
This is often confused, quite deliberately by the mainstream media, with "borking" which should be defined as "attack viciously a candidate or appointee, especially by misrepresentation in the media.” According to William Safire in The New York Times.
Our mission on FreeRepublic should be to "Swift boat" the unworthy and to prevent the "borking" of the worthy.
No problem! Van has already landed a new job more suitable to his qualifications.
"Swiftboating": Using facts to expose the identity of lefties who would damage America.
Swift-booted.
The liberals cry when a fellow commie falls.
Swift-boated. In other words he was exposed by having the truth told about him. Now THAT’S pretty damned underhanded, ain’t it!
And Mark Lloyd is next!! Get that Communist out of the FCC!!
pretty much the usual with Obama’s administration, give them enough airtime and they hang themselves, they can’t help themselves.
Progressives=Communists

Neither, he was BECKed.
FR Definition:
BECK
–verb (used with object)
To destroy the political career of someone by repeatedly using the target's own recorded words to vilify themselves.
Origin:
2009, Americanism; after Glenn Beck forced the resignation of an 0bama Czar by using film clips and sound bites.
Example:
Van Jones was BECKed this week.
Medea Benjamin is a fellow communist. These people are tiresome. They assume that people with a modicum of intelligence can’t figure out what they are.
Why isn’t Medea Benjamin protesting the war? Because she’s got a fellow Marxist in the White House, and wouldn’t do anything to damage him.
Did they change the definition when I wasn’t looking?
Got a source for that?
I’m not arguing, just looking for info.
Medea Benjamin is another one of those people who haven’t done anything in their lives but sign petitions and chair groups that they’ve made up themselves. Nonetheless, they believe they are the possessors of all wisdom and were born to rule.
Code Pink should have been prosecuted for aiding the people who were killing U.S. service men and women in Iraq. Remember that the next time you hear from a Code Pink member.
She says “swiftboated” like it’s a bad thing.
Liberals apply their mushy, situational ethics to everything, including the truth. When the truth nails them, it must be a lie.
“DU’ers are hiring P.I.’s”
Sam Spade? Philip Marlowe? Inspector Closeau?
Exactly! As I say...progressing towards what? Which direction do they go?
"Swift boating" and water boarding have something in common that the left despises. Both are ways of getting at the truth.
LOL! The latter, I'm sure. They have been in a frenzy over DefendGlenn.com since it came online and released the Jones videos. There was even a thread on FR last night which said DefendGlenn.com was the target of a denial-of-service attack. The Left has just gone mad.
Yes, he was sift-boated, which is a good thing.
Notice they don't say he was 'borked'...
