Here is video of the Fox News Sunday Panel (begins at 1:25 mark) discussing the resignation of Obama "Green Jobs" Czar Van Jones today. The beginning of the video is a news report on Jones' resignation.

Bill Kristol commented that the Mainstream Media did not cover the Jones Controversy. He gave kudos to the great blog Gateway Pundit in particular for their role in exposing Jones (2:27 mark of video).

Stephen Hayes said the key question is how did Jones get hired by the White House.

Juan Williams said Van Jones was simply a way to attack President Obama, and does not even know why we are talking about a "mid-level" appointee like Jones.

Juan Williams said Van Jones was simply a way to attack President Obama

It was a 'teachable moment' for Obama. He could have clearly explained which of Van Jones' comments he found objectionable and why he demanded his resignation.

Shut the hell up, Kristol, you big wuss. You have a huge soap box and you could have contributed, and you didn’t do squat. And now that Glenn Beck and some others with guts have stepped up, you’re trying to steal some of their glow? Screw you, you wuss. You’re among those we need to run out of town, those who have sold us out by being weak in the face of liberal advancement, over many years.

In all fairness to Obama’s eunuchs in the state run MSM, they have been busy covering the movement of Mikey Jackson’s corpse and Red Ted’s interment celebration.

[Federalist Patriot]

That’s right. They have been busy with important matters!

Yes. We conservatives have been ill-served for years by our DC-based "pundit class." They should be ignored.

Thanks to you too, Mr. Kristol.

Mr. Williams, you need to open your eyes. The enemy is within, and he must be defeated.

Bill Kristol is trying to get out in front of this-here parade....

[demkicker]

What you said - my sentiments exactly! Typical of Kristol to glomm on after the fact....

[broken_arrow1]

Juan Williams demonstrates that “black” is thicker than water.

Naked Emperor News, I think, is getting a little overlooked with this story. The 911 truther story broke shortly after this video and it wouldn't surprise me if it had inspired a few people to start googling Van Jones.

Stephen Hayes said the key question is how did Jones get hired by the White House.

Obama's adminstration probably utilized the same Democratic office that previously vetted Craig Livingstone. And also investigated the charges against Billy Dale.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah I don’t recall the RINOs leading the parade. Hell, there were only a couple of elected officials who even mentioned it.

Credit for this goes to Beck, Rush, Palin and yes even WND. Most of all the credit goes to we the people.

I agree. That's how I got riled up over it, in combination with what Glenn Beck had to say. I emailed a link to that video out to my minions...

[Dream Warrior]

Juan Williams is a typical MSM commentator. We always know where he will stand on any issue. With Kristol, we never seem to get an ounce of brilliant intellectual thought.

He has two forums, Fox News and his magazine... where's the beef?

[kittymyrib]

The only Blacks that Juan Williams does not support are Black conservatives, such as Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, and Thomas Sowell.

Just when I think Juan Williams have seen the light, along comes this asinine comment.

Ditto.

It's time for the metrosexuals to sit and shut up and the men to stand up.
