The Real Van Jones Scandal: Why Glenn Beck Is Right
The American Spectator ^ | September 4, 2009 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 09/04/2009 5:13:28 AM PDT by Scanian

As a former White House aide myself, there are two incidents that tell me Glenn Beck is right in asking his questions about Van Jones. Two incidents that ask an even more serious question than anything asked about Jones himself.

The question: What did the Obama White House know about Van Jones and when did they know it?

Obama has turned our beloved White House into a ghetto filled with black nationalist Marxists.

Something we all need to ask about and why and where does he get the funding to hire them when they aren’t real jobs?

the GOP played into their hands by running the likes of McRAT

Bigger question is when will the US public put a foot down on illegal czars.

Jones may be nothing other than a deliberate distraction.

Constitutionally they cannot expend a dime that is not appropriated for the stated purpose by Congress. But it depends on how much trouble Congress wants to give him. I suspect the czars are not real employees paid by the government and sworn to uphold the law/defend the Constitution. I suspect they are paid by the unions or Acorn as "support".

Like William Ayers, Jones was probably just “a guy in the neighborhood.”
That's right! Remember, nobody hired Craig Livingstone into the White House, either! He just decided to be the head of White House security, and just sauntered in and took possession of the office in the basement (while Hillary was screaming for the head of anyone who, like the staff of the WH Travel Office, could be kicked out into the street to open up a billet for a friend or relative).

Obviously when the secret service expressed their concerns about Jones, they were overruled by The Great Spreader who probably thinks Jones is just a typical mainstream American like himself. (snicker)

You are absolutely correct. 0bama and Jones will get the idiots in Congress to enact some sort of “Green Legislation” that will, on the surface look OK, but actually give Jones surprising power. And we know neither he, nor 0bama, will be judicious in wielding that power.

I’d surmise that his initial reaction to Jones was something like, “My man! My brutha! A man after my own heart!”

Black nationalists or militants I halfway understand. It’s the commies and anarchists, some of whom are black, who freak me out. They are beyond all human understanding when you look at the lessons of history.

God Bless and keep Glenn Beck. This brave and selfless man will go down in history.
