NYT on Pg. A17 Calls Jones Resignation a "Victory for Republicans" and Obama "Conservative Critics"

The New York Times has posted an article on the Van Jones resignation, calling it a "victory for Republicans and the Obama Administration's conservative critics." Actually it is a victory for America. The article appears on page A17 of the New York edition this morning. Here is part of what the Times said:

In a victory for Republicans and the Obama administration’s conservative critics, Van Jones resigned as the White House’s environmental jobs “czar” on Saturday.

Controversy over Mr. Jones’s past comments and affiliations has slowly escalated over several weeks, erupting on Friday with calls for his resignation.

Appointed as a special adviser for “green jobs” by President Obama, Mr. Jones did not go through the traditional vetting process for administration officials who must be confirmed by the Senate. So it was not until recently that some of Mr. Jones’s past actions received broad airing, including his derogatory statements about Republicans in February and his signature on a 2004 letter suggesting that former President George W. Bush might have knowingly allowed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to occur in order to use them as a “pre-text to war.”

Mr. Jones’s involvement in the 1990s with a group called Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement prompted recent accusations by conservative critics that he associated with Communists. The group, according to a post-mortem written by some of its founders, was an anti-capitalist, antiwar organization committed to achieving “solidarity among all oppressed peoples” with “direct militant action.”

Republican blogs and conservative talk show hosts, notably Glenn Beck of Fox News Channel, seized upon Mr. Jones’s statements and associations. Mr. Jones apologized on Wednesday for derogatory words he directed at Republican opponents of Mr. Obama’s Congressional agenda during a lecture in February, calling his remarks “inappropriate” and noting that they were made before he joined the administration. Mr. Jones has also said in the past that the Sept. 11 petition did not reflect his views. . . .

Who is NYT?

And why should anyone care what NYT says?

[webschooner]

Why only page 17? Why not page 54? Or is the Old Grey Whore A section down to just 17 pages?

[ripley]

The question now is, what part of the woodwork will he occupy now?

IMHO

[Always Right]

Probably the first mention in the New York Times concerning this subject.

Probably get sucked up by ACORN.

It never got covered in the dinosaur section of the news. Funny that sometimes people can exit with ‘grace and flair’, and could have made his President look smelling ‘sweet’, but admitting that his former political ties were not in step with the President, but all of his speech was about BLAME on US of the USA for we lied, and smeared. How can a video clip he did lie? Was he lying?

Did the NYSlimes first have to tell their readers just who in heck Van Jones WAS? LOL

One down. Now let’s focus on the internet czar and kick him to the curb, too.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Exactly.

Communists do not disappear.

This resignation is NOT enough.

Obama must repudiate Mr. Jones’ publicly....otherwise he is condoning Jones’ communist background.

Of course Zero has a communist background as well....hence he can never repudiate Jones.

Keep up the good work, Glen Beck - but don’t be satisfied tht Jones is “gone”. HE IS NOT. His still Zero’s soulmate and will be until The One repudiates him.

"Controversy over Mr. Jones’s past comments and affiliations has slowly escalated over several weeks...

..but not here at the Times. Since the story didn't fit our Narrative we never even mentioned it. Not once. Ha ha ha ha!"

[Westbrook]

Jones’ resignation is better characterized as the rejection of a communist, anti-American who sees himself aligned with those at war with America.

[cripplecreek]

At some point we need to go after the hand that holds Obama’s leash.

[immadashell]

I call this a defeat (again) for the new york times.

Jones said he quite, and I quote, "after a vicious smear campaign against me."

Yep, Jones, it's those vicious smears of the truth that are the worst kind...ultimately, they'll get you every time. In the end, you can't run from who you are.

But the heart of this issue, which like with Gates, Wrigth, Ayers, etc. the media is not reporting is this:

Look at Obama's inner circle throughout his life...and the picture is clear.

Van Jones = Frank Davis = Bill Ayers = Bernardine Dohrn = Jeremiah Wright = Tony Rezko = Rashid Khalidi = Raila Ordinga = Carol Browner = Rahm Emanuel = Henry Gates = John Holdren = Rosa Brooks = Eric Holder = Ezekiel Emanuel = BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

This is who the man is. A cauldron of corruption, greed, marxism and communism...with disturbing ties to Islam.

...he is also now the President of the United States of America, and he is going about, with a will, and very methodically destroying the free market and fundamental republican principle within our nation.

Jones faced criticism from Republicans, said most of the news outlets. That part might be true. But it is all decent Americans who should have been outraged.

and Obama "Conservative Critics"

Wrong, IMHO.

Having Van Jones fight, fight, fight to stay in place with lots
more public defense of his point-of-view...
all the while with Obama not issuing any censure of Jones
(remember, silence advises consent) would have been...
PRICELESS.

That is EXACTLY right ... and that time is ... right now
