Van Jones rips Holder over Operation Fast and Furious: ‘We just don’t value all life the same’

The Daily Caller ^ | 5/18/12 | Mathew Boyle

[Nachum]

During a radio interview Wednesday night, former Obama “green jobs czar” Van Jones broke ranks with current and former administration officials and ripped Attorney General Eric Holder for his handling of Operation Fast and Furious, the failed gun-walking operation that trafficked thousands of firearms across the Mexican border.

“I believe that if this was happening across our other border in Canada, we’d probably take it a little more seriously,” Jones said, implying much of the carelessness over Operation Fast and Furious came because many of the victims are Hispanics from Mexico.

“I worry sometimes that we just don’t value all life the same,” Jones added.

VAN JONES SHOCK ADMISSION [in his own words]: "Goal is Complete Revolution"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh4Z0V0zNQg
_________________________________________________

Here is the transcript of the above YouTube video:

“Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said OK now we want reparations for Slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages. If we’d come out with a maximum program the very next day, they’d been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum. “We just want to integrate these busses…”

But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country.

And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages.

Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least we’re not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won’t be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression all together. But, that’s a process and I think that’s what’s great about the movement that is beginning to emerge is that the CRISIS is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both pragmatic and visionary.

So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.

Here's the original source for the Van Jones quote about the time he spent in jail following the Rodney King/LA riots (Jones was arrested in "peaceful" protests in San Fran). It was in a 2005 interview he did with East Bay Express. They of course (what else?) claim he "renounced his rowdy Black Nationalist ways" since then (yet he's calling for "complete revolution" in Aug 2009! ...see above):

But in jail, he said, "I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.'" Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. "I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary." In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. "I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist."

The 1992 LA/Rodney King riots were instigated by the Revolutionary Communist Party...

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.

Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

The Van Jones Laugh-A-Thon

http://www.nachumlist.com/vanjoneslaugh.htm

[Jeff Head]

“We,” Van? Speak for yourself and your mirror image, Holder.

We know that Marxists and Communists place very little value on life of others.

Fact is, one day, I pray Holder is rotting in the gray rock hotel over his involvement in Faast and Furios and his obstruction of justice in other events.

I hope you, Van, simply fade away into onscurity where you belong and that this country turns wholly away from you friend, Barry, and returns to its traditional values where people like yourself are either shunned, or, should you cause too much Communist agitiation, either imprisoned or deported.

[ETL]

Thanks. But it’s hard to top his linking the “Green Movement” to the revolutionary communist movement. Or his being a founder of a revolutionary communist org called STORM. Or his admitting to hanging with anarchists and revolutionaries during the Rodney King riots where about 50 people were murdered. Of his becoming a communist himself during that time. However, I did see a few interesting links on the lists.

Van Jones rips Holder over Operation Fast and Furious

Van Jones has just raised himself up at least two notches in my level of regard for him.

He has risen above both pond scum and toilet residue, he now has snail trails ahead of him.

[philetus]

Yep, here comes the bus

[HiTech RedNeck]

[uncommonsense]

Abrogate international laws in order to usurp US constitutional laws.

But, make sure of the efficacy to create an uproar that will force the 2nd apendemend rights to be pared back. Only by the extreme execution of Fast And Furious can we be elhecial in tamping down the rights to bear arms.

[MonicaG]

“I worry sometimes that we just don’t value all life the same,” Jones added.

Wow, a self-professed Commie speaking about the value of human life? Stalin, Pol Pot, Chairman Mao and other comrades including but not limited to the recently deceased Dear Leader must be cracking UP from the flaming sulfuric pits of hell at that one.

[Puckster]

“I worry sometimes that we just don’t value all life the same,”

Okay, Jones said it......and yes, Holder is being guided to the sword tip.

Much more interesting will be if investigations continue or cease with that.

Is it just a major FUBAR, or is there much more to this.

Was it to simply discredit guns? I’ve read a lot of angles but, I’m still scratching my head on this one.

[MikeSteelBe]

Could Van Jones be working with the Clinton Cartel now to discredit the Obama regime and get Hitlery the nomination?

I’m doing some head scratching and wondering myself.

[struggle]

Here comes the bus...

Short or long?

[Joe Boucher]

Rather he be hung from the George Washington Memorial. Bridge

[Renderofveils]

Don’t worry, Jones will be organizing protests to “Free Eric” once Holder gets convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. He may even produce a rap album for his legal fees.

RE: 2008 Hillary-Obama presidential debate

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: And, Senator [OBAMA], if you get the nomination, you'll have to beat back these distractions.

And I want to give Senator Clinton a chance to respond, but first a follow-up on this issue, general theme of patriotism, in your relationships. A gentleman named William Ayers. He was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s. They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol, and other buildings. He's never apologized for that.

And, in fact, on 9/11, he was quoted in the New York Times saying, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." An early organizing meeting for your State Senate campaign was held at his house and your campaign has said you are "friendly."

Can you explain that relationship for the voters and explain to Democrats why it won't be a problem?

OBAMA: George, but this is an example of what I'm talking about. This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.

And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense, George.

The fact is that I'm also friendly with Tom Coburn, one of the most conservative Republicans in the United States Senate, who, during his campaign, once said that it might be appropriate to apply the death penalty to those who carried out abortions.

Do I need to apologize for Mr. Coburn's statements? Because I certainly don't agree with those, either.

So this kind of game in which anybody who I know, regardless of how flimsy the relationship is, that somehow their ideas could be attributed to me, I think the American people are smarter than that. They're not going to suggest somehow that that is reflective of my views, because it obviously isn't.

CLINTON: Well, I think that is a fair general statement, but I also believe that Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position.

And, if I'm not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York and, I would hope, to every American, because they were published on 9/11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn't done more.

And what they did was set bombs. And in some instances, people died. So it is -- I think it is, again, an issue that people will be asking about.

And I have no doubt -- I know Senator Obama's a good man and I respect him greatly, but I think that this is an issue that certainly the Republicans will be raising.

Hillary and the Black Panthers: The Real Story
Richard Poe
Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2003

I can't take it anymore. If one more person sends me that e-mail about Hillary and the Black Panthers, I'll have to be dragged away screaming in a straitjacket.

You know the e-mail I'm talking about. It accuses Hillary of helping the Black Panthers get away with torture and murder during the early 1970s. With the 2004 presidential race drawing near, the spam mills are creaking to life, flooding the Internet once more with this agitprop classic.

Unfortunately, the e-mail mingles good information with bad, sowing more confusion than enlightenment. Some versions, for instance, carry the byline of radio talk jock Paul Harvey, who says he did not write it. Such misrepresentations help Hillary defenders dismiss the e-mail as a hoax.

The story is no hoax, though. Its basic elements can be found in respected Hillary biographies and exposes such as Barbara Olson's "Hell to Pay," David Brock's "The Seduction of Hillary Rodham," Joyce Milton's "The First Partner" and Carl Limbacher's "Hillary's Scheme."

Here are the facts:

In May 1969, fishermen discovered the body of Black Panther Alex Rackley floating in Connecticut's Coginchaug River. Rackley's captors had clubbed him, burned him with cigarettes, scalded him with boiling water and stabbed him with an ice pick before finally shooting him in the head.

New Haven detectives learned that the Panthers suspected Rackley of being a police informer. Panther enforcers had tied him to a chair and tortured him for hours. Police arrested eight Panthers and later extradited Panther leader Bobby Seale from California, after a witness accused Seale of ordering Rackley's death. (1)

Campus radicals supported the Panthers. They organized mass protests in support of the so-called "New Haven Nine." Hillary was right in the thick of it.

By the time she entered Yale Law School in 1969, Hillary was already a radical celebrity on campus. Life magazine had featured Hillary in a piece titled, "The Class of '69," which showcased three student activists whom Life's editors deemed the best and brightest of the year. A line Hillary used in her Wellesley College commencement speech appeared under her photo: "Protest is an attempt to forge an identity." (2)

At Yale, Hillary helped edit the Yale Review of Law and Social Action – a left-wing journal which promoted cop-killing and featured cartoons of pig-faced police. (3)

A series of hard-Left mentors introduced Hillary to the brass-knuckle realities of revolutionary activism. As a Wellesley undergraduate, she met and interviewed radical organizer Saul Alinsky, whose Machiavellian tactics she admired. Hillary's senior thesis supported Alinsky's call for class warfare. (4)

At Yale, Hillary found a new Svengali in the form of left-wing law professor Thomas Emerson, known around campus as "Tommy the Commie." Emerson recruited Hillary and other students to help monitor the trial of the New Haven Nine for civil rights violations. Hillary took charge of the operation, scheduling the students in shifts, so that student monitors would always be present in the courtroom. She befriended and worked closely with Panther lawyer Charles Garry. (5)

Some believe that the enormous pressure exerted by the Left helped ensure light sentences for the New Haven Nine. Whether or not this is true, the punishments were mild.

"Only one of the killers was still in prison in 1977," reports John McCaslin in the Washington Times. "The gunman, Warren Kimbro, got a Harvard scholarship and became an assistant dean at Eastern Connecticut State College. Ericka Huggins, who boiled the water for Mr. Rackley's torture, got elected to a California school board." (6)

Hillary's defenders argue that she played no "significant" role in the New Haven Nine's defense. This is semantic hairsplitting. Obviously, Hillary was less "significant" than Charles Garry or "Tommy the Commie" Emerson. But Hillary served as a trusted lieutenant to these movers and shakers. Moreover, she had a national profile as a campus activist. Hillary was no rank-and-file student protester, as her apologists claim.

Indeed, Hillary's work for the Panthers won her a summer internship at the Berkeley office of attorney Robert Treuhaft in 1972. A hardline Stalinist, Treuhaft had quit the Communist Party in 1958 only because it was losing members and no longer provided a good platform for his activism. (7) "Treuhaft is a man who dedicated his entire legal career to advancing the agenda of the Soviet Communist Party and the KGB," notes historian Stephen Schwartz. (8)

The defense of the New Haven Nine marked Hillary's initiation into the sinister underworld of the hard-core, revolutionary Left. To my knowledge, Hillary has never publicly renounced nor apologized for her role in that movement.

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

“I believe that if this was happening across our other border in Canada, we’d probably take it a little more seriously,”

It wouldn't happen in Canada because it is not a Third World cesspool of disease, crime, and corruption.

It's not us that doesn't value life, why do you think we're trying to keep the scum out?

It appears that VJ is one of those communists that TRULY BELIEVE that communism is what is best for humanity, not just a means of controlling people.

IMHO, that makes him even more dangerous.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hillary, Terrorism and the FALN
Ron Kolb
May 29, 2008

During the April 16 Democratic debate in Philadelphia, moderator George Stephanopoulos asked Barack Obama about his relationship to William Ayers, the unrepentant member of the Weather Underground who had participated in several bombings of government facilities back in 1970s.

Since that time, Ayers had become active in leftist circles in Chicago. In 2001, Ayers bragged, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

At the debate, Sen. Hillary Clinton condemned Obama's association with Ayers, adding that in those bombings "people died." "So it is--I think it is, again, an issue that people will be asking about," said Clinton.

There is a glaring bit of hypocrisy in Clinton's dismay. In 1999, her husband offered pardons to 16 unrepentant members of a fringe Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the FALN (Armed Forces of National Liberation), who were based in the U.S., and the Macheteros (machete-wielders), the FALN's island-based branch. They were seeking independence from the U.S. and had virtually no political support on the island.

During the 1970s and 1980s, FALN members set off at least 138 bombs in five major U.S. Cities. Six Americans were killed in those attacks. One of those bombings, in January 1975, was at the historic Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan while patrons were at lunch. The explosion killed four and injured more than 50.

Despite the Clintons' repeated denials, there is evidence that the pardons were offered to the terrorists with Hillary Clinton's full knowledge. In the Oct. 4, 1999, issue of the New Republic, Jose Rivera, then a New York City Councilman, is quoted as saying that he personally approached Hillary on Aug. 9, 1999. He said he gave her a packet of information about the FALN members along with a personal letter asking her to "speak to the president and ask him to consider granting clemency" to them.

Two days later, on Aug. 11, President Clinton would offer pardons to the terrorists.

Van Jones vs Holder. Who do you root for? Its like USSR vs Germany WWII.

Van Jones is probably just pissed off at the Obama camp because they stripped him of his powerful "Green Jobs Czar" position. But they only did because he was bringing too much attention to the true Obama agenda which is a communist America.

[liberalh8ter]

And Jones could give a rat's patootie about Mexicans. He's pandering for support of his commie “Rebuild the Dream” organization by Latinos. He's the worst kind of opportunist.

[Texas resident]

Van jones IS pissed at the obama gang for dumping him.
He recently told an audience that he is not someone we want in the White House.
He is still the guy who formed up STORM.
He is still a guy who believes in violent revolution.
He is pissed that obama hasn’t moved faster to communize this country.

Obama is a radical marxist but has to be somewhat constrained and concealed because he is running for reelection. Jones had to keep the mask on while he was the green jobs tsar. Since obama dumped him, he doesn’t have to hide who he really is.

A tiger is a tiger

Van Jones is merely doing his part in this show. Holder is becoming a liability to the Cause.

[Hoffer Rand]

Fact is, one day, I pray Holder is rotting in the gray rock hotel over his involvement in Faast and Furios and his obstruction of justice in other events.

In a just world, this would have already happened. In today's world, he simply invokes the melanin defense and remains untouchable.

[arthurus]

Discredit guns and perhaps service or make some alliances down south.

[Pigsley]

‘Van Jones is merely doing his part in this show. Holder is becoming a liability to the Cause.....’

I have to agree with this. Holder is looking more and more like he's going under the bus. Watch him in interviews now...he looks a bit unhinged. But then, again, so does Barry, lately. I think it's called flop sweat in the theater. I see it on Carney also.

Jones is a watermelon: Green on the outside and red on the inside. That is all the bogus GREEN movement is. Has been since the ‘60’s and all the global ice age and overpopulation crap the Left was spouting.

I recently read that Jones is the official head of the Occupy movement. Can't wait to see this crap play out at the dem/rep conventions this year.

Wonder what Bammy has on Holder?

This crew is so corrupt it's hard to keep track of their hijinks's. And the cherry on the top is the “down low” aspect. Obama, Jones and Rahm certainly are. Wonder if Holder is, too? Oh, how delicious it will be when these creeps are exposed. I see it beginning....Guess Obama will ramp up the race wars when he gets desperate enough. Very strange times ahead, I think.
