Van Jones, Barack Obama's Green Jobs Czar, verbally attacked police officers at a 'Racial Justice Rally' held in front of the Federal Building in San Francisco in June 2004.
A report by Tiny in Poor Magazine posted at Indymedia's Indybay.org about the rally quotes Van Jones as saying of the police officers watching over the rally, "See those men in ugly blue polyester over there? They all have one thought: 'Obey, obey, obey'."
The report's other quote from Jones is, " "Were gonna fight together and love together and liberate these blue polyester fools too."
The rally itself was a typical leftist agit-prop action against America. It featured a large banner on stage that read, "No Taxes for Torture at Home and Abroad."
An artist named Asiatic whose work appeared on Van Jones' Freedom Fighter Music record label read a poem about "Uncle Sam the Real Terrorist."
The theme of the rally was stated by an organizer:
"We are here to recognize the intense parallel between global oppression and local oppression. Do not forget that the torturers in Iraq were trained in the prison system here, said Mesha Irizarray of the Idriss Stelly Foundation, describing the days purpose.
The rally's theme was similar to the anti-American comments Jones made on a 2003 Freedom Fighters release:
"We see violence against poor people and poor people of color within the U.S. border, at the U.S. border, and beyond the U.S. border and you see U.S. tax dollars funding all of it. And so we have this now global struggle against the U.S. led security apparatus and military agenda that impacts people here and impacts people around the world and I think that we need to see our problems as linked."
A few of the men Van Jones called "blue polyester fools."
While I appreciate the often self-sacrificing efforts of LEOs in defense of the civil order, and find both Van Jones’ invective and the notion that his ideas are ‘liberating’ both offensive and absurd, there is something unpleasant about the institutional culture of law-enforcement agencies that his “whose only thought is ‘Obey, Obey Obey’” does capture rather eloquently.
Hatred?
LLS
Wait, I just wrote the history of the Democratic party in ONE SENTENCE!
And the hits just keep a-comin’! BTT.
Applause! :)
kristinn, you’re amazing. :)
No wonder Obama wants his own “citizen” security force; one that’s funded as well as the military.
I’ll be waiting for the after vacation Tuesday howls and calls by the media for Van Jones to resign lol.
All righty then! While officers do have a level of discretion (spirit of the law vs. letter of the law) what do you want these guys to do? Disobey the laws they are sworn to uphold? Make it up as they go? What a load of tripe!
I'm tired of hearing some Freepers castigating all cops for the sins of a minority of cops. No one on this board that I know of supports the cops breaking the laws they are sworn to uphold. Really immature s@%t that mirrors the childish posture of the left.
Sheesh, ‘Blue polyester fools’ that’s it? I’m a cop and I’ve been called worse than that here on FR.
hahahahahaha. I wonder what Van Jones’ FR screen name is?
I wonder if he brought donuts to the rally? And, you know something? I think if this was an FR anti-police thread, there’d be alot of jokes about that smiling cops big belly! And those Nazi-like uni’s their wearing too! Peep that BLACK WEB GEAR boys and girls.
Boy that cop looks like he’s preggers don’t he? Maybe ol’ Van did bring some donuts to the show, hence the police smile. He’s been bought off.. wink, wink.
Just for grins, somebody post that picture of all the cops cars parked in front of the donut shop. That’s a hoot.
No kidding. Van Jones would fit in really well on a lot of threads I've seen lately.
Those boys in #23 look like “baggy Wal-mart winter gear fools.”
It is funny to listen to all of Obama’s zombies calling others zombies and racists. They must have believed Farrakahn when he said black people could not be racist.
That’ll come later. First fire this POS, Van Wilder Jones.
Ok- so when is this guy getting dumped? It’s Saturday evening and no announcements? What are they waiting for?
The difference between Freepers and Van Jones' attitude toward LEOs is that Freepers want LEOs to leave them alone.
Van Jones' want to turn LEO's into thugs.
When Van Jones says 'liberate' what do you think he means?
Which is worse? People who wants cops to leave them alone of people who want to turn cops into thugs?
