More czars on conservative hit list By: Lisa Lerer September 6, 2009 12:37 PM EST

With the resignation of green jobs advisor Van Jones, the conservative firing squad is setting its sights on other White House czars.

The resignation of Jones — who stepped down from his post as the White House green jobs advisor early Sunday morning, citing a "vicious smear campaign" waged against him by "opponents of reform" — was a win for conservative politicians and pundits who waged a months-long campaign hammering him for comments he made in his previous post as an environmental activist for poor and minority communities.

Jones’ admission that he signed a petition implying a government role in the September 11 terrorist attacks – a document circulated by right-wing bloggers — was the final, inflammatory straw for the White House.

Now, right-wing politicians and pundits are looking for other White House czars with controversial pasts. "Van Jones is the tip of the Iceburg. As VJ has said: "personnel is policy"" conservative pundit Glenn Beck twittered on Friday. Attacking Obama’s advisors, conservatives believe, will raise questions about the judgment of their popular boss.

Here’s some of other the czars on the conservative hit-list:

John Holdren, science czar

Conservatives took shots at Holdren, formerly a professor at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, earlier this year for a 1977 environmental science textbook he co-authored that surveyed policy options to curb overpopulation.

In a chapter on "population policies," the authors mentioned involuntary fertility control methods like mandatory abortions, mandating family size, and adding sterilants to drinking water or staple foods.

Politico: Why are you not investigating the constitutionality and controversial histories of these czars and instead getting mad at "right-wingers" for doing the jobs you guys ain't doing?

Van Jones is an avowed communist, for crying out loud. Is this the type of person who should be serving in any federal government capacity, let alone as an adviser to the President?

Hey Lisa: You don’t get to pick.

We control the horizontal.

(”Outer Limits” reference, Lisa - You’re probably not old enough to get it.)

Ok, if you take out the tax-dodgers, communists, fascists, rascists, terrorists and kooks, who’s left?

I thought it was interesting that he cited “lies) in his resignation, but I don’t know what those lies are. I want to know.

Little Lisa Lerer is certainly doing her bit to cast a cloak of lies, deceptions, and fabrications over the cesspool that is the Obama Administration. Van Jones was helping the poor don’t you know. Nothing about his avowed Marxism, his hatred of whites and America, his determination to advance radical leftist ideas and programs.

No, he’s just another enlightened spirit stopped short by the rabid right wingers. Lisa bears considerable watching, she’s obviously bucking for a job at NBC or the Washington Post.

These people really do believe they have the right to rule - and how dare anyone question them. They’re out there promoting mass sterilization of entire populations and when we call them on such madness its called a “hit list”.

You have to remember, Politico is a pack of ex-WaPo jerkoffs. They continue the usual leftwing beltway drivel under separate management.

In the words of Van Jones himself: “...don’t stop there, don’t stop there...”.

Heh.

Here’s one to watch, the “Indian Czar”....just what we need, more pandering to ‘victims’......and President Obama....there is no “Indian Country”...this guy only wishes to divide us further with the help of ‘community organizers’ like Kim Teehee. Many of her Cherokee ancestors would be ashamed. Some of them realized a ‘nation within a nation’ was a recipe for disaster, poverty and ignorance.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2272453/posts

“”Kim Teehee will be a tremendous asset to our team as we work to strengthen and build on the Nation-to-Nation relationship between the United States and tribal nations,” said President Obama. “She is rightly recognized as an outstanding advocate for Indian Country, and she will provide a direct interface at the highest level of my Administration, assuring a voice for Native Americans during policy making decisions.””

Population control is the heart of radical leftism.

Forced Abortions and Forced Sterilization are old ideas, horrible but, the left has talked about it for years.

And now, with Obamacare, we can start killing off the old folks and the disabled, as well?

All of this stuff is linked!

You’re safe now. Control Voice died about 20 years ago.
