Former Green Czar Van Jones To Be Honored With NAACP Image Award
Mediaite ^ | 2-23-10 | Drew Grant

Posted on 02/23/2010 5:49:24 PM PST by icwhatudo

In a controversial move, the NAACP announced today that it would be awarding one their top honors to Van Jones, the former White House Special Advisor for Green Jobs who resigned last fall under a cloud of controversy. Jones’ history with extremist groups and the website 911Truth.org created a vocal conservative movement that ultimately cost him his position under Barack Obama, despite his work in creating the Green Jobs act in 2007 and declaring himself to be the victim of “a vicious smear campaign.” The NAACP says ex-Green czar deserves the award and “may be the most misunderstood man in America.”

Image award. Hmmm. Do they have a “Substance Award?”

Why are Black Americans so eager to embrace these pinhead commies?

Do they really think windmills and solar panels will help brothers in the hood?

It is ridiculous.
Liberal idiots push this sort of stuff on the people in Africa.
What they need is real power, infrastructure and capitalism.
You aren’t going to run an automobile factory on solar panels.

The NAACP never met a communist it didn't like.

Their Fellow Travelers, the “Congressional Progressive Caucus” must be targeted and destroyed as well their allies in the press and academia.

No holds barred, take no prisoners, name names and make these red bastards pay dearly for the consequences of nearly one hundred years of insidious and unrelenting attacks on capitalism and judeo-christian morality.

The days of marxists operating in the open in your face and you'll like it or else are fast drawing to a close.

These RED SONS OF BITCHES THINK THEY CAN STEAL THE PRODUCTIVE CLASS MONEY BY THE ELECTORAL PROCESS.

WRONG.

I think what the colored people are doing is the right thing. It’s better to light a cross than to curse the darkies.

Van Jones became a revolutionary communist following the 1992 L.A./Rodney King Riots (58 dead)
various sources

Posted on Sunday, September 06, 2009 10:19:07 AM by ETL

"Jones was arrested during the L.A. riots and spent a short time in jail. "I met all these young radical people of color," he recalls, 'I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, "This is what I need to be a part of." I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.'..."

By the late 1990s, Jones was a committed Marxist-Leninist-Maoist who viewed police officers as the arch-enemies of black people, and who loathed capitalism for allegedly exploiting nonwhite minorities worldwide. He became a leading member of Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), a now-defunct Bay Area Marxist-Maoist collective that was staffed by members of various local nonprofits, a number of whom had ties to the Ella Baker Center.

In the early 2000s, Jones and STORM were active in the anti-Iraq War demonstrations organized by International ANSWER, a front group for the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party. STORM also had ties to the South African Communist Party and it revered Amilcar Cabral, the late Marxist revolutionary leader (of Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands) who lauded Lenin as "the greatest champion of the national liberation of the peoples." (In 2006 Van Jones would name his own newborn son "Cabral" -- in Amilcar Cabral's honor.)"

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.

Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

Know any outlet that we can encourage the enlightenment of the relationship between the NAACP and the communists?

I imagine there are many members that are not aware of the partnership.

NAACP President Benjamin Todd’s Top Three Reasons for awarding Van Jones the Image Award

1. He was discredited for missteps, such as political statements made years ago.
2. We have a capacity to practice forgiveness
3. He deserves a second chance

Way past time for the idiots at the RNC to call for the Democrat Party TO RENOUNCE MARXISM AS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM IN PLACE IN THE USA.

Why is it necessary to point out that these disgraced commies never just go away?

Because they don't.
