Van Jones Targeted Because He's Black Says Huffington Post Columnist
Newsbusters/The Lid ^ | 9/7/09 | The Lid

Posted on 09/07/2009 6:04:08 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

If you believe Huffington Post contributor David Sirota there are only two types of people in the world, those who agree with everything President Obama says and does, and those who are racist.

Sirota is a "racer" someone who uses race as the political excuse for just about everything, and takes it to an extent which goes beyond any sense of reality.

Other famous racers are Janine Garafolo, who said that the people participating in the April Tea Parties were doing so because they objected to a African American President, and embattled Congressman Charlie Rangel who blames protests against Obamacare on racism:

"Some Americans have not gotten over the fact that Obama is president of the United States. They go to sleep wondering, 'How did this happen?' " Rangel

Appearing on CNN's American Morning today, David Sirota said Van Jones was "a national hero" who was "originally targeted because he's an African-American man" (video below)

I think Sirota’s comments are “race baiting”. They assume that the one thing any of his critics could find about Jones is that he’s black. Which is utter nonsense. Jones is a nut leftist radical. That was what the issue was.

And Sacco and Vanzetti were targeted because they were Italians!

My ex-wife's grandparents actually believed that.

You know, and they know, that their argument would have some merit if there was not any videos of Van ( Grace Jones ) Jones making those inflammatory statements.

Did y’all catch the liberal’s talking points on this? LYNCH MOB. This was a lynch mob action, you see. Comrade Jones = black = hanged until dead by right wing terrorists...get it?

I really wonder if clowns like this actually believes this stuff or he’s laughing his arse off privately.

VAN JONES CUT A CD...
The CD starred Van Jones and cop killer Mumia abu-Jamal.

Jones used his Ella Baker Center for Human Rights to found Freedom Fighter Music, the label WarTimes appeared on. WarTimes is also the name of an anti-war-on-al-Qaeda propaganda newspaper Jones helped organize. The album featured cop killer Mumia abu-Jamal.

Here are a few of the lines from hate-filled anti-white, anti-American, anti-Israeli recording by Van Jones and the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights:

" The American way, manufactured by these white folks in office. By these rich men here to mock us. The United States is a stolen land led by right-wing, war hungry, oil thirsty. And when it's all said and done they still can't clean their own place because they got people of color playing servant to do that sh*t for them... The true terrorists are made in the US, in this police state... The US is a crack-fiend for oil. And they're ready to rape, kill, assault, rob anybody and everybody...

Bombing babies in the night. Two wrongs don't make a right... The US needs to exit its colonies in Iraq, in the region and finally in Israel.

Van Jones: At this point. The end of the occupation. The right of return of the Palestinian people. These are critical dividing lines in human rights. We have to be here. No American would put up with an Israeli-style occupation of their hometown for 53 days let alone 54 years. US tax dollars are funding violence against people of color inside the US borders and outside the US borders."

my email to david sirota.....I hope it reaches him....he doesn't list his email address anywhere...

David, I hope that this email reaches you. I've looked at several web-sites and have not found an email address for you.

I've met other people like you in the past that like to put forth their opinion, but don't want to deal with any type of feedback.

I'm writing to chastise you for your laziness. It takes no effort, whatsoever, to call your opponents "racist" as you did with people opposing Van Johnson.

If you can refute the charges that he is a self-described marxist, and anti-American, then do so. If you can't refute those facts (you can't) then your column is meaningless. It may sway the simple-minded, usefull idiots that the left relies on for votes every four years, but any thinking person will realize that you are not addressing the issue....you are just calling names (ad hominem.)

I look forward to your next desperate column where you will, no doubt, start calling people on the right "nazis." It's just as intellectually lazy, but more impressive to the liberal masses.

Dave

Conservatives target Van Jones because he is black. Quick! somebody has to warn Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell and Bill Cosby that they could be next.

I guess this means we can’t go after Hillary Clinton, because she is only a white communist, not a black one. Oh dear. I was so looking forward to it.

Oh, and we don’t like Sotomayor ONLY because she’s Hispanic.

I’m liking the term watermelon more and more. Green on the outside, red on the inside. Of course, when directed toward blacks it will be called another slur...
