"Vet these people?" "I'll 'vet' you a dollar he's out by the weekend!"

Van Jones, Barack Obama's Green Czar, was part of the organizing committee for a leftist effort to undermine the United States in the war on terror just months after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Jones signed a statement by the organizing committee in early January 2002 accusing the United States of having "mercilessly bombed Afghanistan" in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks by al Qaeda, which at the time was being protected by Afghanistan's Taliban-led government.
The statement, found on Rense.com, is part of an appeal for funds to start a bi-weekly newspaper dedicated to undermining the United States in the war on terror and to push "social justice" and the green movement.

WAR TIMES (working title) A New, Biweekly, Tabloid Newspaper Opposing the "War on Terrorism"
The terrorist attacks of September 11 marked the beginning of a new and frightening period in our history. Thousands of people died that day, and their families along with the country as a whole are still struggling to recover. But President Bush's response of "permanent war against terrorism at home and abroad" has further endangered the lives and liberties of millions of people everywhere.
The world's most powerful nation has mercilessly bombed Afghanistan and is installing a neo-colonial government of its own choosing, although that country has never attacked the U.S. Millions of Afghans have been displaced and face starvation this winter. The administration has also green-lighted massive Israeli assaults on Palestine, and it threatens to attack Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia, and other countries. The agenda seems clear: to remake the world in the rightwing image with little regard for human consequences.
SNIP
Peace, safety, and justice at home are more than ever linked to peace and justice abroad. To end the "permanent war," we need to build a mass movement against U.S. interventions abroad and link to it the struggles for social justice. The security and livelihood of people across the globe depend on success in this fight.
SNIP
Content: The tabloid will present a view of the world that makes opposition to Bush's program urgent, vivid, and logical. To do so, it will be designed with an artistic sense, using photos, cartoons, and other graphic elements throughout. Overall, it must be popular, attractive, have flair, and utilize humor and poetry as well as information and analysis. It will be bilingual at least in part, beginning with Spanish.
The tabloid is intended to track the development of the war at home and abroad, spotlighting the dire consequences of Bush's program for human beings and the earth. It will provide backgrounders, facts, and clear, readable analysis. It will report on the work of the developing peace and justice movement as well as anti-racist struggles, thus providing an important representation of the possibility, vitality, and importance of opposition. Articles will be based on reliable and widely accepted information sources, both domestic and international.

Remember when the Clintons stopped the drug screening requirement for WH staff because it would eliminate too many of their friends? What’s a few dozen commies and socialist running around the WH when they’re supported by the top dog?
You can add, “bite off their fingers.”
"Vet these people?" "I'll 'vet' you a dollar he's out by the weekend!"
>>>> Zero has COMPLETELY bypassed the proper vetting process for these nuts. <<<<
Not so.
Van Jones has not only been fully vetted but also completely embraced by the Zer0 administration and all of its Marxist and Socialist cohorts.
There is a video floating around this week (from Beck?) which has a very brief clip of Van Jones being introduced to some leftie/Marxist/Communist audience by Zer0’s own mentor Valerie Jarrett, who gives Jones a warm and laudatory opening which is followed be delighted applause from the audience.
They know exactly who Van Jones is, and they love him.
I guess my question is.......why wasn’t an FBI probe done on these people?
They need to keep playing that video of Valerie Jarrett saying how great Van is, and get her under the bus, too.
This has the potential to be the most damaging thing for Obama yet.
This Communist has simply got to go. Full stop.
The FBI does vet them. However, if an anti-American, Illegal Alien, communist, closet Mudslime has defrauded his way into the presidency, said "President" can be counted on to use the negative FBI findings as affirmative qulaifications for the flagged radicals and criminals and and hire them precisely because of those very negative findings.
This could very well turn out to be obama's biggest mistake yet because the appointment came directly from the WH. This is no small appointment. This a-hole is supposed to be in charge of doling out those millions (LOL) of green jobs. It legitimizes the criticism from the right that most of obama's associations are radical and gives us the chance to bring up wright, ayers and flager again and say I told you so.
>>> Van Jones that sound you hear is the bus coming. <<<<
If the hubbub over Jones gets too noisy and bothersome in the next couple days, Zer0 will most certainly kick him under the wheels without a second thought.
Thanks. :)
The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights was founded by Van Jones.

As I read all the news, Spain keeps coming up.
Is Spain attempting to reclaim their “new world” discovery?
Because the “czar” process specifically circumvents any and all vetting other than the only one the administration cares about: Political reliability.
Exactly what I was going to say. People are assuming that 0 had no idea what Van Jones background was. Of course he knows, and obviously agrees with it.
What makes me even more mad than him being picked by 0 to be in any position of power within my government is that first, 0 didn’t think we’d find out what the guy was really about and second had to have thought he could get away with it if we did find out.
