[presently no screen name]

he’s laughing his arse off privately.

I've said that many times about BO after he was elected - saying, 'what dumb a$$es' - they have no idea what I'm about to do. They bought it. LOL!!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

They know exactly what they are doing.And so do we.There will come a point that we wont give a shit what they say about anything thus damaging their ability to sway public opinion.We win.

[Marysecretary]

Arrghhhh. I am SO tired of all this crap. Race? Not hardly. Try communist...

Is Sirota admitting here that there are other non-black members of this administration who are also 1) avowed communists 2)belonged to militant organizations calling for revolutionary takedown of the US government 3) claimed the President of the United States planned the 9.11 mass murder of american citizens 3) said that only whites commit mass murder 4)proudly confessed that he or she has to deal with his hatred for white people everyday 5) cut a record spewing viciously vulgar & utterly vile hatred for Israel, white people & America 6) celebrated the killer of a cop as a hero 6) cheered the plane crashing into the Pentagon that we've let off because they're not black? Is that what he really wants to say? Hmmm.

Because if there are, we'd be only too happy to bring the nation's attention to them as well, Mr. Sirota, no matter how much melanin they happen to be wearing.

Most Americans are equal-opportunity patriots & will be just as repulsed by any other bigoted, race-baiting America-hating cop-killer loving conspiracy-nutbag such as Jones whom our President has chosen to give a nice big fat taxpayer-funded government paycheck to - regardless of skin color.

Tell us who the other non-black ones are whom we've been allegedly discriminiating in favor of here, & we'll only be happy to demand their dismissal too, Mr. Sirota.

I really do think that the buffoons in the Senate need to hold some “hearings” into why Jones resigned and who forced him to do it.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

You know racist is going to be so played out by 2012 that when there is an actual real case of it people will shrug and say, yeah.... whatever. Black man’s involved? Of course its racist.

NEXT!

David Sirota said Van Jones was "a national hero" who was "originally targeted because he's an African-American man"

Really? In the tiny little deluded mind of this moron, if Van Jones had been a white marxist who believed that Bush blew up the World Trade Center, the conservatives would have been okay with that. He thinks that it's Van Jones' skin color we mind and not the nutsace's anti-American beliefs, his insanity, and his communism. Sirota may be as out of touch as Van Jones himself.

Van Jones Targeted Because He's Black Says Huffington Post Columnist

No, it's because he's RED.

[Lorianne]

Is he suggesting that a white Obama appointee should be “targeted” to make things fair?

Okay, sounds like a good idea.

The left may want to rethink this "criticism of us is right-wing political terrorism" bit. I hope they don't though. It's very entertaining. It's also comforting knowing that's all they have in defense of themselves. It'd be interesting to ask this shill to tell us where the line between political speech and right-wing political terrorism is.

Frum is an ass. But he did a good job on this idiot. Would have done even better if not shouted down when landing his most devastating blow.

[boatbums]

so perhaps his blackness is a factor, where his radicalism is associated to his blackness.

Very good point! Van Jones uses his race when it benefits him as in affirmative action, community organizing, race riots and various "jobs" he would not have been offered if he was not black. Yet, he turns it around, when convenient, and complains others use his race against him. Got him (them) figured out!!!

[GOPJ]

Ummmm, the guy’s a communist. If Bush appointed a fascist - a NAZI who happened to be brown skinned - does anyone think the Huff and Puff people would scream that it was because of skin color?

[GOPJ]

idiots....same cards all the time.

No one's told these Huff and Puff idiots that the "race card" doesn't work anymore?

[cubreporter]

someone will always use it. It’s old though and is not a good thing to use. People are tired of it.

[jonrick46]

This has to be emailed to Rush, Hannity, Medved, Beck, and others that I cannot think of at this moment. Time is getting short. Something is about to happen and it is not good.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Typical, when all else fails, and all of your arguments have been proven wrong.....pull the race card.

They put Traficant in prison for 7 years, why aren't Conyers and Rangel doing the same for like offenses?....Let's try this...RACISM!
