Former Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Sunday that the resignation of White House green jobs adviser Van Jones is a "loss for the country."
The outspoken Democrat and former presidential candidate vigorously defended Jones, who resigned in the wake of criticism over his past statements and associations -- including his past support for a group that believes the Bush administration may have been involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.
"I think he was brought down," Dean told "FOX News Sunday," saying he just spoke to Jones. "I think it's a loss for the country."

I’ll miss Van Jones. He was a comic genius, albeit unintentional. I’d rather he stuck around. His seething, oozing, smug, racist, hate would have been quite useful for the GOP. Now the next “czar” will be somebody who is too the left of Trotsky but has a milqetoast personality. Thats no fun.
Enough with the damn Czars already. I’m hoping a “Rasputin” shows up and culls the herd of Czars that seem to be sprouting up.
The USSA. Only proves that the entire DNC is communist, trying to pretend their socialists. Fact is, they used to all be called socialist in the 20s until that word had some bad publicity and they changed their names to communists until the 50s.
Pray for the Tea Parties
No, put down, like the rabid yellow cur that he was.
With his own words and actions.
This racist anti-American thug resigns and it’s a loss for the U.S. I don’t think so.Now if we can only get his boss to resign.
Darn. I was hoping Van Jones stayed. It would have been great for us to have Obama and Gibbs defend him. The fact that Van Jones quit means he will be forgotten next week.
Typical. Jones is being made out as the victim in all this. Though as far as the great majority of uninformed out there, that probably makes no difference. It’s not as if they are rushing to take 0bama’s side in this. It’s just too bad most will never know the full extent of his administration’s extremism.
Red shoots.
Like his made up name, Anthony “Van” Jones is a fraud. ‘Green jobs’ is a cover for reparations.
The nerve of the Right,running his own words against him.
This guy was his own enemy.
Jones may have resigned but he will still be around. He needs to be monotored.
i’m so glad there was a fork in the road when it came to dean...
Shine the light - expose dem lies.
Incredible that useful idiots like Dean don’t realize that Jones and other black racists have just as much contempt for him as for every other “honkie mother-f*****!”
Nice. Thanks...amy do a bit of redesign, but will FRmail you with the final. Later today.
I feel so deprived now that Van Jones is not creating green jobs. Such a loss...
Here they go- race card and victim card- a double winner. The only thing that would make it better for them is if Jones had been a woman.
Mr. Jones- you brought yourself down. When average, normal Americans heard your own words- they were uneasy. Your beliefs and point of view are divisive and filled with hate for white people.
IF, you had just been Van Jones, proponent of green energy and global warming- we would have simply debated you on the merits. But you are much less about green than you are about racist, marxist red. THAT is what brought you down.
Hehehe...thanks. Repition is an intrinsic part of learning. Let them know what you intend to try and teach. Then teach them. Then review what you taught them. Then it may stay with them.
