Van Jones, a CNN commentator and former adviser to President Obama, on Monday compared the pipeline protest in Cannon Ball, North Dakota to the civil rights movement of the 1960s:
"This feels like Selma! It feels like Montgomery! It feels like a time when a group that nobody paid attention to, black folks in the South, stood up and the world stood with them, so it's a very powerful, emotional moment, I think, for the tribal communities," Jones told CNN's "New Day."

Well yeah, van baby. I'm sure you marched right alongside Dr. King back then. What a friggin' idiot. I'd say he's stoopid but that would be an insult to stoopid people everywhere. Must have been educated on the Island of Moronica with a degree from the University of Dumbassistan.

Why would “the world” “stand with” a mob of tom-tom pounding leftists blocking economic development?

As a Black American he should be ashamed to say a thing like that.
To: ClearCase_guy
Was he ever relevant? Other than in his own little pea brain. But I’ll bet his paycheck is pretty good. Say, how much does he give out to charitable causes anyway?

The Blackfoot tribe in MT begged the oil companies to come in and drill on their reservation.

Probably some tribal elder ain’t getting his ‘fair share’ of wampum off the deal.

Van Jones is an idiot. Is he really comparing the events that changed our country at Selma and Montgomery to a few dozens people protesting a pipeline?

'This Feels Like Selma! It Feels Like Montgomery!'... Van Jones was born in 1968. He has NO idea what Selma and Montgomery felt like.
He is such a piece of crap.

This self-professed communist is an ass. While he hasn’t been forced into exile is a puzzle to me.

This clown turns everything in to race.
All he sees is race because deep down inside he is a racist at heart.

Van Jones is SO LAME. And living in his (long over) adolescence, imho.

You’re welcome. We used those terms for some of our fellow engineers back in the day. I suppose today that could be classified as macro or micro aggression. Oh, and hurtful.
