"We're asking questions progressives like but we're giving answers that conservatives should like," he said at last month's National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas. "We're not talking about expanding welfare, we're talking about expanding work. We're not talking about expanding entitlements, we're talking about expanding enterprise and investments. . . . We should be able to stand together and be one country on this."
Yes, we should. But while Jones was calling for "one country," Beck and Co. were digging into his background like a political campaign's hit squad to smear Jones as a "communist-anarchist radical." Yes, Jones dabbled in radical politics in his younger days, but that was then. Beck and Co. don't think much of political redemption, at least not when it is claimed by someone who is not on their side.
Most embarrassing to Washington etiquette are YouTube videos of Jones speaking his mind before he was appointed to his White House post. They include a well-publicized vulgarity that starts with "a" and has an "h" in the middle. He employed the a-word to describe Republicans during a February meeting. He has apologized, but the flap made him too big a headache for the Obama White House. He also apologized for signing a petition in 2004 that called for further investigation of the Bush administration's actions before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Significantly, Jones' remarks hardly ventured further to the left than Beck's rambling commentaries swerve to the far right. But Beck's a talk-show host. When he goes over the top and accuses Obama of "deep-seated hatred of white people," as Beck did recently without offering evidence to back it up, he gets bigger ratings. A presidential appointee would get the ax.

We need televised Senate “hearings” into WHY he resigned and WHO made him do it!
Mud’s good. It’s healthy. You let it sit long enough it turns green. You hit someone hard enough with it you see red.
In Obama's own words:
"I ceased to advertise my mothers race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
"I found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race."
"I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds. One of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."
"The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person..."
"Thats just how white folks will do you."
VJ’s vision of green jobs was giving tax dollars to minorities who were going to stay home from work to avoid having a carbon footprint. Yes, he was going to save the planet.
“Waaaaaaa....waaaaaaaa....waaaaaaaaaa........Make them stopppppppppp!”
LMAO
More open weeping...
SMEAR, a.k.a. reporting a Democrat's actual statements.
I love it. Typical leftist BS.
Whine, whine, whine about the “smears” then admit they’re true but go on to say why they don’t matter.
Get a real job, Clarence. I hear Waste Management is hiring.
Clarence must not know about Google. Van Jones anrchist/communist background is there for everyone to see - in his own marxist voice.
I don’t understand why some conservatives thought that this was just going to go away...
liberal/statists are extremely childish, and tend to react in childish ways...
I’m surprised there haven’t been riots in the streets...
Wait till the whining starts tonight before during and after Obamas address to his minions...
Who exactly is lamenting the loss of the Russian monarchy, to the point that they would be comfortable naming appointed administrators Czars? This is important; someone the democrat party secretly hopes to reinvent aristocracy and autocracy in this country. We can already point to them; they are the current and wanna-be government employees.
Crying baby face:

“Thats just how white folks will do you.””
I can think of alot of ways “just the way black folks will do you”.
Sure is interesting to go back and show word for word what a person of hate that NObama is/was/will be and the Liberals only heard 3 words: Hope and Change.
How long will it before the media starts to understand what THEIR health care will look like under NObama???
