You know, he carries a grudge to the ninth degree and this will gnaw a hole right thru him.

You are right about that ... it’s from the Chicago school of mobs and thuggery:

“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.” That’s what President Barack Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press.

Mental disorder. They’re definitely indoctrinated, much like the indoctrination of radical Islam.

I asked on that thread, does that make him an idiot for resigning?

I mean, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM Houston?

Shame on the MSM for covering up the story.

Now, what will they do? Call it a GOP smear campaign and omit the facts?

I guess they’re waiting for the script from the WH.

Just posted this from the Los angeles times...where the report says :

Van Jones, the onetime Marxist whose controversial statements about Republicans and 9/11 have made him a distracting lightning rod as Barack Obama's environmental czar in recent days, resigned tonight.

Oh...the thread:

Obama's green jobs czar Van Jones quits under fire (LA Times ...Van Jones, the onetime Marxist

Glenn Beck & freepers didn't do it, it was WND, at least according to themselves.

WND brings down the ‘red czar’

WND’s 5-month series of exposés
leads to White House's 1st casualty

Jones was co-founder of a black activist organization that has led a campaign prompting major advertisers to withdraw from Glenn Beck's top-rated Fox News Channel program. The revelation followed Beck's reports on WND’s story about Jones’ communist background.
