And he didn’t deliberately say that white people were deliberately polluting minority neighborhoods, or that only white teenagers would implement murder at Columbine and that black teens wouldn’t do that. Of course the black teens in the south side of Chicago are shooting each other off at the rate of 32 per month in Obama’s own former district.

He didn’t deliberately say either that he intends to use his green movement to implement the Marxist change of American society.

Just like they’ll claim that Mark Lloyd the new FCC ‘diversity’ czar didn’t deliberately give a speech admiring Hugo Chavez’s takeover of all the press in Venezuela. OR that he intends to do the same in the US with his ‘localism’ policy.

Got to CHANGE America! Got to CHANGE America to a Marxist state!

Jones said he'd received calls "from across the political spectrum," to stay on.
From ACORN to Daily Worker, no doubt.

Moonbat heads at DU and KOs are exploding. The Joker lost more base over this than dropping the so called public option.

Right, and Van Jones also didn't intentionally accuse the US government of bombing downtown New York at an anti-American rally in Oakland a mere 2 days after 9/11...

Yup, my guess is that his 9/12/2001 statements starting to come to light is what really motivated his withdrawal. And for 'revolutionaries' like him there's ALWAYS more stuff out there.

For instance, besides his name on that Truther petition and his post-9/11 comments, there's also now his comments about the 1992 Rodney King Riots. Republicans and Conservatives need to dig, dig, dig on Jones and others ...

Republicans must pray for Howard to keep on making pronouncements.

VJ and the DBM can blame it all on a racist witch hunt and think they can fool most of the people. Fact is, most of those people don't care a whit about a fleeting story like this and those who do know what really went down.

The DU crowd will blame Obama for not standing up for this guy.

Well, if you ever had any doubt, Dean is a Communist and an anti-American and terrorist sympathizer. How else to explain this sympathy?

From what I hear them say, a lot of people on the left, like Dean, agree with the comments Jones has made regarding American racism, prejudice, imperialism, exploitation of minorities, brutality towards third-world countries, etc. They just phrase their ideas a little less directly.

So to them, Jones was indeed the object of a "smear" because there was nothing wrong with what he said. The mistake Jones made was that he was too explicit - should have used some "nuance," which would have given him some cover - like "taken out of context," "misinterpreted," etc.

Don't forget that Obama won his first election by challenging the names on Alice Palmers’s petition to run for office.

My friend offered to work for the census and had taken a test, easily passed, but was never called upon to take part in the census. I believe this was a scam to simply bring in the Acorn mobsters and skew the vote. Most of these Demoncrats who were voted in with a slimey and crooked rigging of the vote here in Colorado. Astonishing and out rageous behavior from the radicals in Colorado, we now have this “secret” candidate in the Senate, placed there by the commies in the DNC. Senator Udall and his “pal” Senator Bennet, a virtual unknown with nothing but family connections and a communist agenda. We are hoping to not elect the appointed one and then rid our wonderful State of the stench of the Udall family.

He didn't know this either!!!! WTF DO they know?????

They know how to vote for bills without reading them.

They know republicans are EVIL

They know Cuba has the best health care system in the world.

They know lots of things, but they are all wrong.

We need to be taking names of absolutely everyone who laments this turkey's "loss". They all need to be dealt with.

Keep it up, Dean and company. See how many ways you can oppose the American people.

Carefull Dean, or you will have your own line in this song.

Another One Under the Bus

Oh! Let's go!
Greyhound One rolls down K street
Barry’s head hangin’ low
Rush done got the scoop on another old friend
Now that sucka has to go

No time for tears, no time for good byes,
Just jerk him up out of his seat!
Open the doorway, toss him out,
He screams to the sound of the beat

Yeah

Another one under the bus
Another one under the bus
And another one gone
And another one gone
Another one under bus
Hey
He's gonna ditch you too
Another one under the bus

Barry knew if he went far not all friends could come along
But hey its cool, he doesn’t miss them when they’re gone
He lets them make him look strong
And then moves on on his own "You’re my friend ‘til I’m worried
So you better not bring me any heat
Or out the doorway you ass will fly And you too will scream
To the sound of the beat"
Look out

Another one under the bus
Another one under the bus
And another one gone
And another one gone
Another one under bus
Hey He's gonna ditch you too
Another one under the bus

E-he! Alright!
Hey
Oh take it – Under the bus
Under the bus, hey
Hey Another one under the bus
Another one under the bus, ow
Another one under the bus, he he
Another one under the bus, hay yay ya ya ya
Ooh shout

How many friends have made Barry look bad
And he’s thrown them to the ground?
There’s Bill Richardson, Tom Daschle,
Louis Caldera, William Ayers,
Granny was thrown too, and you know Biden’s soon to follow
Yeah
Van Jones, Father Pfleger and
Reverend Wright have hit the street
Out of the doorway they all flew
As they screamed to the sound of the beat

Another one under the bus
Another one under the bus
And another one gone
And another one gone
Another one under bus, yeah
Hey, He's gonna ditch you too
Another one under the bus
