Lesson for Van Jones: Don't get too uppity
http://voices.kansascity.com/node/5768 ^

Posted on 09/07/2009 3:03:31 PM PDT by kcvl

Van Jones loved the spotlight. Heck, who wouldn't, after being named a special adviser and green jobs czar for President Barack Obama.

In Kansas City last week, Jones was one of the federal officials flown in to take a look at the Green Impact Zone, an idea to upgrade 150 blocks of low-income neighborhoods.

Jones was introduced twice by fellow, higher-ranking fed officials -- and on both occasions, Jones made sure to interject that he was a "special adviser" to Obama.

But now he's not part of the administration at all, thanks to imprudent remarks and a petition he signed years ago, a petition that implied the federal government allowed 9/11 to happen.

The statement that really got Jones in trouble with radio shock-jock Glenn Beck and other conservatives came in February, when he was at a green energy conference in Berkeley.

WE DIDN’T SPEND ENOUGH ON KATRINA. Just ask Van Jones organization - “Green for All”

For a Dem, everything is race. It doesn’t occur to them that anyone could disagree with them philosophically.

%%%
They are emotionally stunted, so that they exhibit all of the emotional maturity of a typical 12-year-old spoiled girl. Such a child will often say, “You don’t like me!” when her behavior is corrected in class. This writer’s estrogen is getting to him again, I suppose.

Racism is alive and well, as we can see from the likesof this author.

The readers of the Kansas City Star don’t seem too impressed with this guy’s column. They completely destroyed him in the comments section.

It took a couple days for the racialists to notice Jones’ skin tone; I’m kinda surprised it took them so long.

This apparently is the current Rat talking point; notice how Patterson and Rangel are trying this one.

It’s hard to imagine that there are many people who are actually willing to pay to read a newspaper that features Mr. Abouhalkah.

Another hippie that doesn’t care what Jones said or did.

Just that Beck had the nerve to tell everyone.

Poor Van Jones. I’m sure he returned every penny of the $30 billion he was given control over. I’m sure none of that went to his relatives or personal overseas bank accounts.

Another lesson would be, “Don’t be a communist fake. Even your fellow leftists can’t save you.”

“The level of self-deception among these people is remarkable.”

They’re not deceived. They know that Jones was a radical, and they’re lying about him and why he had to resign. They’re doing it for political reasons.

the word “Uppity” has historic ties to the “N” word.

Team Acorn WILL jump all over that Word Choice.

Again, their followers will be sucker into Indoctrination, rather than reading the full story.
