In a letter released just after midnight Saturday, Van Jones, President Obama's Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the Council on Environmental Quality resigned.
"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones wrote. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."
Jones said that he had "been inundated with calls - from across the political spectrum - urging me to "stay and fight. But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future."

Since Beck used the guys own speeches to make the case, what were the lies and distortions?
This should be NO surprise to any of us here.
The mainstream media template hasn’t changed in some time.
Van Jones own words cut him to the bone, not lies and distortions.
But hey, look at it this way Van Jones, you can continue unimpeded with your Communist and racist rants. Maybe you can find the real time to define ‘green jobs” while your at it?
Is ABC still the spokesman of
both the US Pentagon and al Qaeda?
"Van Jones should resign his position and if he is unwilling to do so, the president should demand his resignation. His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this Administration or the public debate"
Perhaps they could name one of the corrective labor camps after him - it’s only fitting for a fallen comrade and revolutionary martyr!
This speaks volumes about the state of mind of algore.
Tapper viciously and repeatedly misreported the validity of Palin’s positions on healthcare, too. Make no mistake, when the going gets tough, he’s as deep in the tank as the rest of the MSM.
I would like the names of the people urging him to stay.
And the mainstream media are communists. They cannot support a hard core communists and not be one themselves. Maybe it's time for Beck to stress on his program that ABC is owned and run by communists. Use Van Jones and his eulogy by ABC as proof. Might be taking on too much, but I could hope.
Tapper usually shoots straight. It’s interesting that he forgot to mention that besides being a communist and an America hater, this sloppy pantoad Van Jones is a loud supporter of the cop killer, Mumia Abu Jamal. Maybe Ubama dredged up some dirty pictures.
There were none (but you knew that).
It is important to understand that the rats have perfected the art of giving their "base" something - - anything - - to hang their hat on. It doesn't matter if it is a complete lie. That has nothing to do with it. They only need something they can believe.
It's a weird phenomenom, but for the Democrat base it works.

There is no shame or honor in politics and maybe never was, except on rare occasion.

Liberals don't need no stinkin' facts - theys got "feelings"...
“opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me,” Jones wrote. “They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.””
LOL!! Humility isn’t his strong suit is it? Sen. Jim Inhofe once said you could bury the truth, but there it is anyway.
“The tipping point for the White House appeared to be Jones’ admission earlier this week that he had signed a petition in 2004 calling for congressional hearings and an investigation by the New York Attorney General into “evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur.”
So his signature wasn’t enough. His admission however was. This reporter may have graduated from the Saddam Hussein Journalism School For The Terminally Stupid.
