Lessons of the Van Jones Affair: Democrats Are Comfortable With Communists, Racists and Anti-Semites
Frontpagemagazine ^ | 9-9-09 | David Horowitz

Posted on 09/09/2009 4:51:37 AM PDT by SJackson

There is no more mystery about Van Jones. He was a passionate defender of cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal, a self-satisfied and described "Communist," a supporter of the destruction of the Jewish state, and a promoter of the theory that the Katrina tragedy was a white racist plot, and so forth. That's okay with Democratic chairman Howard Dean, and Obama's Environmental Quality Council head Nancy Sutley. (See Ron Radosh's current blog for chapter and verse, and also the many blogs on Jones at our own www.newsrealblog.com.) This should surprise no one. The recent heads of the black caucus in the House -- part of the 120 member "progressive caucus" -- have all been Castro-loving racists -- Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee to name two off the top of my head. Diane Watson is probably next. The Democratic Party today is a "popular front" organization (to pluck an appropriate term from the 1930s when liberals and Stalinists lined up together as well). There are no scoundrels, America haters, racists -- that Democrats won't assimilate. One of the more obnoxious racists and crooks in public life -- Charlie Rangel -- is still chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee because Nancy Pelosi can't remove him, so strong is his support in her party.

And if you don't believe how far left the Democrats have lurched when I say it, here's authentication from Alan Colmes who, after ignoring all the evidence about who Van Jones actually is and what he believes, and pretending that it's all a Glenn Beck-World Net Daily-Horowitz plot, concludes "Van Jones is a mainstream liberal." That's exactly right Alan. And that's exactly the problem.

How did things get to this pass? Let me just single out one problem, because it's the one conservatives can actually affect. And that is to start calling things by their right names. The timidity and cowardice of Republicans towards Democratic Party outrages of this nature is a principal culprit. When you call Communists "liberals," it legitimizes them. The time has come to stop it. To stop the charade, stick your head out the window and say "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."

Exactly right. If the people we elect to congress won't do it then we need to do it ourselves. And we need to let those in the media who display some conservative values that it's alright for them to speak out as well (I'm considering Fox, conservative blogs, etc). It's time we took PC to the woodshed, and left it there.

” Democrats Are Comfortable With Communists, Racists and Anti-Semites “

The Occam’s Razor answer to the question of why the MSM didn’t cover the Van Jones story — they just didn’t see what the big deal was....

The interesting question is “Why did Van Jones resign, given that the issue was only being raised by the gadfly Fox News, and a few ‘right-wing-extremists’?”

Hiring this VJ character tells you exactly who Obama is. Hiring Carol Browner tells you exactly who Obama is. Hiring Rahm Emanuel tells you exactly who Obama is. Being on a board with an avowed domestic terrorist tells you exactly who Obama is. Staying in a chuch for 20 years with an anti-American, racist, preacher who marries you tells you exactly who Obama is. Marrying a woman who wasn't proud of her country before you ran for President tells you exactly who Obama is.

Hiring all these socialists, whacko's, looney left, communist, racist, czars tells you EXACTLY who Obama is. No matter WHAT the MSM tells you, you know exactly WHO obama is!!!

Democrats would believe in our Constitution.
Communists would not.

Because they want to BELIEVE that Republicans are mean rich guys, and democrats are caring helpful nice guys.

It is a question of faith, not facts.

Old Woman! Man! Sorry.....

That exchange was the best in the movie, along with “Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?”

Oh, almost forgot: Your posting was excellent and spot-on.

......Democrats Are Comfortable With Communists, Racists and Anti-Semites.......

Democrats are Marxist, racists, and Anti jew.

The criminal enterprise that allows Rangel to flourish is a big tent and allows everything. The purpose of being a Democrat is to have the freedom to be lawless

“...and Jews (my G-d you are a STUPID STUPID PEOPLE) vote for Rats 75%?????????”

They are not “Jews”. They are “Secular Jews”. “Secular Jews” can not possibly be Jews because they do not observe Judaism. If they are “Jews” who do not observe Judaism, how can they possibly be Jews? They are something else that hides behind someone else’s religious faith.

IMHO

This is what comes when you hold yourself to no standards in the name of elite “tolerance”. A joke that is actually the fascist inverse.

Everyone else that opposes radical marxist philosophy, gay marriage, fast tracking secularization are neanderthals.

Only the wise and “tolerate” elite know what is best for the entire human race against all common sense, eons of proof to the contrary and all rules of cause and effect.

By giving this loose-headed faction the power, we have accelerated our demise.

I have always thought he was right, but he never had a chance when he went after the thugs in Hollywood. They made him look like a conspiracy theorist.

The silence from the Repub’s in the House & Senate is killing me. Come on guys & girls lets make some noise. Sarah can say more and do more than all of them put together. Come on people wake up . . . they should be shouting this stuff from the rooftops and all the do is roll over and play dead.

McCarthy had nothing to do with Hollywood. He was a SENATOR. His committee focused on Communists who were working inside government agencies.

It was the HOUSE Unamerican Activities Committee (HUAC) that investigated people in the movie business.

I disagree with your calling my fellow Jews who voted for “HIM” a STUPID STUPID people.
They are a STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID people.
There, that is more accurate.
thank you. (from one of the 22%)

McCarthy was right, but he did try to do too much too fast and Ike pulled the rug out from under him. The press at that time was coming out of the closet and viciously attacked him and Ike did nothing.
