Van Jones — Exit, Stage Left
Annuit Coeptis ^ | September 6, 2009 | Jay Henderson

Posted on 09/06/2009 4:43:03 AM PDT by jay1949

The Wall Street Journal reports that controversial presidential adviser Van Jones has resigned, according to a midnight press release from the White House. The mainstream media ignored the Jones controversy as long as it could, but on Saturday, the Jones revelations hit the mainstream press. The Huffington Post complained that FOX News' Glenn Beck "has his first scalp.”

The Huffington Post doesn’t have a clue what’s going on around this country.

This implies there will be more. Who is next Glenn?

Woke up in the middle of the night and FOX was reporting without details. It was the first things mentioned in their morning news broadcast.....He’s gone! Who’s next?

this started when - glenn beck called obama racist - then color of change group started advocating advertisers to boycott glenn beck - glenn beck goes on holidays - sarah palin asked friends on facebook to watch glenn beck segment - glenn beck comes back and slam color of change group and find out the co-founder now work for obama, van jones - glenn beck investigates van jones - van jones resign if you go back further - this started when obama called a white cop “acted stupidily” without knowing all the facts, which prompted glenn beck to call obama a racist

When Beck stepped up the scrutiny of Jones last week, liberal bloggers demanded that Beck be fired.

I thought the left loved investigative reporting ala Woodward and Bernstein?

What? A leftist is the one being investigated?

That's an outrage ! /s

Gone to some do nothing, corporate shakedown, pompous sounding, federal grant supported non-profit to the tune of $200K salery, Land Rover, expense account, book tour....all of course for the (black only) children.

Besides, he’s a Yale lawyer. You need Chernobyl size radiation to make them even a bit nauseous.

I bet he becomes Mayor of Oakland then a Kalifornia run as soon as Whitman and Romney and the rest kill off the real GOP.

I rarely get to watch Beck's FOX News segment owing to my work and medical treatment schedules, but I like the guy from the few I have seen and from video clips posted on the FOX News Web site. He is thorough and accurate and has a libertarian point of view, which I like. I've quit watching MSM "news" broadcasts - - sure, the people on FOX have viewpoints, but you know what they are, and they actually report on items of interest; last I observed (granted, a while ago), CNN, ABC and the NY Times report what they want you to hear, and what gets on NBC/MSNBC is total merde (pardon my French, please).

Van Jones was Arianna Huffington’s campaign promoter during her run for CA governor.

They’re in bed together.

Question to Congressional Republicans: Does this show you that two can play the liberals game? And win! I love the delicious irony of this. Van Jones is the racist who took on Glenn Beck with Color of Change for being racist. The pot calling the kettle black. You rock, Glenn Beck! You brought it and you won.

Now, just who was that Diversity Czar, Glenn?

That Huffington bitch is the one who turned her husband gay in the first place. Can you imagine being married to that witch? It would be like Halloween 365 days a year. Scary.

Glenn said that Van Jones was just the tip of the iceberg.

There was the tiniest blurb about it on the last page of the front section of the very left leaning Virginian-Pilot this morning. That really was front page news. I wonder how the MSM will treat this story?
