Anyone who would give this moron the time of day is an enemy of freedom.

There is nothing special about Jones. He isn’t smart, isn’t inciteful, has never created value of any type for this society.

He is a nothing.

"There just wasn’t a voice on the economy for progressives"

Yeah, a one-man band consisting of Paul Krugman doesn't quite make the cut...

Well, “Occupy” self-destructed as the tea party of the left, so it's on to plan B (or is it C, or D, or E?). I wonder when the media will figure out that liberals are simply a small minority of people in the US?

...Jones has rebounded from his messy departure to become a superstar of the resurgent left...

Resurgent left? In their dreams.

Van Jones on America’s [ HIS Tea Party-like ] Uprising: It’s Going To Be an Epic Battle

Jones talked to AlterNet about the growing social movements for change, running real progressives in 2012, and how we can train a million new leaders.
http://www.alternet.org/vision/152616/van_jones_on_america’s_uprising%3A_it’s_going_to_be_an_epic_battle/?page=entire

Van Jones, lead evangelist for the American Dream movement....said that after he left the White House, where he served as a green jobs adviser to President Barack Obama, he occupied his time studying how the Tea Party movement came into existence and marshaled its power. ....

....With Monday’s speech, Jones set out to sell the idea of a more diffuse and locally directed progressive movement to a gathering of progressives who are more used to being part of organizing campaigns launched from organization or union headquarters. What Jones is offering instead, though his Rebuild the Dream hub (launched in partnership with MoveOn.org), is an open-source brand for the left, complete with a logo in the form of a red “A” (for “American Dream”) with a white star at its center, underlined by a blue stripe. It’s a graphic turn on the American flag, part of Jones’ call to the left to reclaim the mantle of patriotism. ...

....Rebuild the Dream has already facilitated some 1,600 house meetings of like-minded people who aim to build a grassroots movement on a par with the Tea Party. Rebuild the Dream has also issued a “Contract For the American Dream,” ...

....Today, the more institutional wing of the left will be represented among the less-affiliated protesters of Occupy Wall Street, as union members, artists, hactivists and students join in the mass expression of outrage....”

Since our first Tea Party protest, the Democratic coalition has been searching for its own Tea Party.

... OWS is just part of a broader effort by Jones to regroup after the devastating repudiation of President Obama’s economic agenda on November 2nd. This is Hope and Change Part II: The Empire Strikes Back. ...”

“...Glenn Greenwald says in a recent blog, “White House-aligned groups such as the Center for American Progress have made explicity clear that they are going to try to convert OWS into a vote-producing arm for the Obama 2012 campaign.”

Before he ran to the front of the Occupy Movement, Jones’ Rebuild the Dream had been saying that its first task was to elect Democrats. Now he is claiming there will be 2000 “99% candidates” in 2012. ...”

Van Jones suggests liberals imitate the tea party
By Elizabeth Flock
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/van-jones-suggests-liberals-imitate-the-tea-party/2011/10/05/gIQA3lMaNL_blog.html

Former White House green jobs adviser and author Van Jones thinks liberals need to make their own tea party. Or at least steal their tactics.

“...The Wall Street protests, Jones said, are a good beginning for a liberal movement, but need to work on a more cohesive message and organized approach.

Jones suggested a movement of his own to fill that hole, a progressive “support center”called “Rebuild the Dream” he modeled after the tea party’s support centers. ...”

Van Jones Talks Progress & Organizing a Left-Wing Tea Party Movement
Wednesday Oct 5, 2011 – by Sky Obercam
http://www.clutchmagonline.com/2011/10/van-jones-talks-progress-organizing-a-left-wing-tea-party-movement/

“....Unity was at the heart of Jones’ message to the enthusiastic audience – and beyond. The American Dream Movement, which Jones aided in conceiving, was developed to band together the disenfranchised majority of Americans who’ve suffered as a result of weak policies of a faltering democracy. Last summer he called on a wide array of concerned citizens to help author the Contract for the American Dream – a la Tea Party. ...”

“...Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County (www.duhc.org) is the grassroots alliance that organized so successfully against corporate rule in that county. One way the group promoted and raised money for its cause was through selling tea, with the following words written on each tea bag: “We need a tea party of our own.” DUHC is now helping other communities to organize against the corporate takeover of their cultures, communities and governments. ...”
