Van Jones is an exceptional and inspired leader who has fought to bring economic and environmental justice to communities across our country.
He has chosen to resign because he believed he was serving as a distraction to the president's agenda. I respect that decision.
Van was working to build a common ground agenda for all Americans, and I am confident he will continue that work. Unfortunately, his critics on the right could find no common ground with him.
Clearly, Van was the subject of a right-wing smear campaign shrouded in hypocrisy. Van's chief tormentor Glenn Beck, who spent weeks engaged in vicious name-calling, retains his perch at Fox News after calling the president a racist who has "a deep-seated hatred for white people" Van has set a standard that Beck would never impose upon himself.
I look forward to working with Van to move our country towards a clean energy economy that empowers and lifts up all Americans.
The evil twins, Podesta and Soros have morphed into triplets with the Commie Jones coming into the fold.
The Republicans already have had plenty of opportunity to de-fund the left and have failed miserably to do so.
Exposing the truth about a liberal is “hateful”.
I don't understand how it's the same.
From one subsidized “job” to another.
Get a real job, Van. Try a for-profit venture for once and let’s see you put that Yale law degree to constructive use.
If you are able . . .
That's because the real word is regressives. They want to reverse our freedom and the revolution against tyrants, and place themselves at the top of the human race. Old game, new words.
You are wrong about it being the same for Van Jones as it was for Sarah.
The things said about Sarah were lies and they were said by powerful members of ALL the MSM - - ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, CNBC, NPR, PBS, all the newspapers but one, and major and all major news magazines.
The things said about Van Jones are TRUE and they're being said by powerless citizens and 2 or 3 people on radio and a few people on FOX.. You need to re-think your comment.

The only problem is that said "...common ground agenda..." is Marxism. It may not currently be called that outside of leftist "insider" groups, but that's what it is.
The DC Democrat Soros Support networks comes riding to his rescue...
Why am I not surprised???
“pointing out Van Joness own words is a smear-campaign”
This crap is becoming so Orwellian that old Gearge is doing grave spins at light-speed...
Doesn’t a Democrat’s head hurt from spinning like that??
Well, Van was “smeared” with a mirror: his own words.
Sarah is continually smeared with a Saturday Night Live quote uttered by Tina Fey playing Palin.
I am pretty sure the left “feels’ whatever they choose based on a percolated sense of reality.
I mean, is it “irony” when the left calls Sarah “dumb” as they build their case on Tina Fey’s quote?
No problem...he will poison any organization he joins with the commie tag. Follow him.
So Podesta thinks an anti-American communist who wanted the government investigated over 9/11 is a good job candidate.
So I guess Podesta is an extreme leftist, too. Marxists helping Marxists.
“Van Jones can devote his free time to seek revenge on Glenn Beck. This is war”
Olbermann posted a diary on KOS this weekend asking for any dirt on Glenn Beck to be sent directly to him.
NBC is throwing away ANY pretense of being non-biased.
Because Soros and the "non-profits" own the dems?
I find this statement funny from Van's new employer's website.
“Van was working to build a common ground agenda for all Americans”
Podesta said that? The man is pathological. It’s a common agenda if we’re all communists.
This is a clarifying moment. It’s a clear indication of what the Center for American Progress really stands for. Radical leftism.
