“In a statement, Jones, who had worked at the White House as special adviser for green jobs since March, acknowledged that he had become a lightning rod for criticism. With the administration’s hands full trying to push through controversial legislation on health care and energy, Jones said that opponents of reform had decided to launch “a vicious smear campaign” against him.”

LOL!

Van Jones was becoming an insincere apology machine.

"Brainwashing is a system of befogging the brain so a person can be seduced into acceptance of what otherwise would be abhorrent to him. He loses touch with reality. Facts and fancy whirl round and change places.... However, in order to prevent people from recognizing the inherent evils in brainwashing, the Reds pretend that it is only another name for something already very familiar and of unquestioned respect, such as education or reform." Edward Hunter, Brainwashing (New York: Pyramid Books, 1956), pages 185-186
