NAACP Supports Van Jones, Calls Beck a 'Right Wing Extremist'

Digital Journal ^ | 8/5/2009 | Johnny Simpson

[TheMadKing]

The NAACP issued a statement in full support of President Obama's embattled Green jobs czar, Van Jones. The NAACP further called Glenn Beck a "right wing extremist," called controversies over Van Jones' past "diversionary tactics," and questioned advertisers' sponsorship of Beck's show.

I’ve been wanting to cancel my CapOne cards for some time now to get a Visa NRA card. Good push to do just that.

[KJC1]

Van Jones spoke for himself, and now the NAACP speaks for itself as an organization in support of Jones’ statements.

[Shaka]

Race card? So soon? After saying Whites poison black workers on farms? No way...you can’t play the race card twice...can you?

[Maceman]

NAACP is a communist front organization.

It wasn't back when it was founded by white Republicans in 1909:

WHEREAS, historical documents show that: (a) in an effort to stop the Democrats from lynching and denying civil rights to blacks, the NAACP was founded on Republican President Abraham Lincoln's 100th birthday, February 12, 1909, by white Republicans Oswald Garrison Villard, Mary White Ovington and William English Walling; and (b) the first black general secretary of the NAACP was black Republican James Weldon Johnson who became the general secretary of the NAACP in 1920 and, in 1900, wrote the song, "Lift Every Voice," known as the "Black National Anthem" in collaboration with his brother, John Rosamond Johnson,

YES YOU CAN!!!! It’s the entire deck...

[Natural Law]

More contemptible crap from the “Schwartz uber Alles” crowd.

The NAACP is just a relic of an earlier time and reflects that roday even though they do not get the world has completely changed and things are not the same that they were fifty years ago.

I believe tha NAACP is an organization that like the current AARP is not helpful to its membership but jeeps them in check by reinforcing their victimhood at the expense of the system but not telling them that it is the GOVERNMENT system that is actually holding them back. Because they are still slaves but slaves to big government instead of a white overseer. I think black folks need to start thinking for themselves and start taking a long hard look in the mirror and what is happening around them and maybe then they will wake up to the kind of reality that is so apparent to the rest of us.

The battle lines are being drawn boys and girls.

[shankbear]

Isn’t the NAACP a pack of radical racists?

[MGMSwordsman]

Yep, the NAACP is just another enemy organization that needs killin’.

[popdonnelly]

The NAACP is nuts to support Jones. Jones is about as Marxist and as far left as you can get. If the NAACP wants to defend this bum, then that’s on them.

[dusttoyou]

negabama is about to start a race war.

Looks like lines are being drawn, by THEM.

[popdonnelly]

The NAACP can make whatever ridiculous statements in defense of Jones they want to. Beck was right about Jones, except that Beck didn’t know all of it. If Jones stays, the Obama Administration has to go.

[Ev Reeman]

The Obummer is in serious trouble.

Not only on healthcare but these czar appointments without the benefit of Congressional approval or oversight.

All these things are going to hit the fan come election time next November.

I predict we will see a sweep by conservatives even moreso than was the 1994 midterms. In fact, I predict it will become a record setting event in American history the likes of which this country has never seen before. I think the momentum is continuing to build and remain strong right up until next November and surely everything the Obummer administration does between now and then will only add more fuel to that already blazing firestorm.

[joejm65]

The NAACP is supporting Van Jones over Beck? Wait, I need to sit down...

[Quickgun]

Go for it! I’ve had an NRA Visa card on Bank of Omaha for many years.

[buccaneer81]

Van Jones needs to be unemployed.

He always has been. Just like the Kenyan. Not a day of work in their lives.

I would love to get paid for running my mouth.

[bigheadfred]

I agree. But what is the spark that will ignite it? Maybe Obama’s second term... ;-)

[GonzoGOP]

I predict we will see a sweep by conservatives even moreso than was the 1994 midterms.

And if the Democrats refuse to step down after the election? What if thanks to ACORN we have 150% turnouts in predominantly democrat districts? Do you honestly think that Obama will surrender power while he controls the Press, Schools, Unions, All aspects of the government, and most importantly the mob in the street. Look to Venezuela and see the future.

Enough name calling already. Communists out of government.
