WASHINGTON - An environmental adviser for President Barack Obama, Van Jones, has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.
Van Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs," has been linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.........."
I liked Van Jones is that he put an open face to cryto Communist Obama and his administration.
Is there a right man for the green energy czar position?
It’s funny that article didn’t mention anything about the other controversial things he has said like about the Columbine kids being white, etc.
You know AP/MSNBC, etc. know about that or else they aren’t much of a news organization!
Yep.
Beck gets the most credit for this one.
Let’s see who the replacement is- perhaps someone who doesn’t hate whites?
I’m only about a quarter way done with Browner and it looks like some good stuff will come out of it.
This from a who guy walks around calling himself a communist.
WOW
Couldnt stand any questions ...
I hope they use that laughable argument since it is so easily refutable and would necessitate presenting Jones' own words.
Probably what took them a little longer than normal to turn a breaking news banner into an actual story.
Well, well. Someone got his just desserts. He was the one—he and his Colors of Change group that pressured advertisers to boycott Glenn Beck’s show, hoping FOX would take him off the air.
The irony is certainly delicious.
That’s one...a very good start.
How nice to go to bed tonight knowing something really great has happened for America. To all who kept the research and story dissemination going, congratulations. Next.....
Adios, you Marxist, racist POS!
Dang. I’ll have to change my tag line.
Can't have anyone know the truth about them!

An advertising boycott against Fox News host Glenn Beck has succeeded in keeping most major sponsors from running commercials on his show even as the controversial commentator's viewership has grown.
Beck attracted 2.81 million viewers Monday, his third-largest audience since his show launched on Fox News in January, according to Nielsen Media Research data provided by the network. On Tuesday, nearly 2.7 million viewers tuned in, his fifth-largest viewership to date. And the conservative host got a plug from former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who urged people to watch his program in a post on her Facebook page.
FOX News' Glenn Beck is doing an extraordinary job this week walking America behind the scenes of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and outlining who is actually running the White House, she wrote Wednesday to her 800,000-plus supporters.
Color of Change, an African American political advocacy group, organized the boycott last month to protest Becks comment that he believes President Obama is a racist. The group succeeded in securing commitments from at least 36 companies that have pledged not to advertise on his show, including Wal-Mart and Sprint. Some, such as AT&T and Procter & Gamble, were not Beck advertisers to begin with, but their ads had mistakenly appeared on the program. Representatives from those companies reiterated their request not to have spots during his show. Later today, Color of Change plans to announce six more companies that also are declining to be Beck advertisers.
