White House green jobs czar Van Jones had apologized twice this week for making regrettable statements and there may be another one coming.

His name is posted online in support of an October 2006 petition to stop police brutality posted by the Revolution newspaper, which describes itself as the “Voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA.” The petition was created by a group called the October 22nd Coalition that seeks to "meet the intensifying nationwide epidemic of police brutality with resistance on the national level" and says it works with the International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu Jamal.

Other groups and individuals signing the petition include: Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, Freedom Socialist Party of San Francisco, International Socialist Organization of San Francisco, Justice4Palestinians, New Black Panther Party's New York Chapter and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

2010 can’t get here fast enough.

That this poisonous radical, communist goon ever got into such a powerful position within the Executive Branch is simply mind-boggling.

This administration is literally from hell.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

For a Yale Law graduate, I’d say he’s not exactly doing his alma mater proud. He sound downright stupid in his public remarks.

Amanda, by “apology” do you mean RESIGNATION?? I predict it will be called a resignation rather than a firing, because a dismissal would imply the WH made a mistake in hiring him - ya think?

[thecabal]

Yes indeed. Remember, BHO is the one who said to judge his policy by those who he chooses to advise him.

[MrB]

How about the “don’t have a racial justice frame” statement?

WTH is that supposed to mean?

Or is it as meaningless as the phrase “social justice”?

[eureka!]

He also supported cop killer Mumia: http://ace.mu.nu/

We need an apology from Obama for appointing this guy.

[a fool in paradise]

Some who claim to be on the Right say it is wrong to judge someone by the company they keep. Tying Obama to the rhetoric of Ayers and Wright was “wrong”. How many Communists are in the Administration now? How many tax cheats?

Whether they leave the administration or not, they still stain the Obama Administration. CULTURE OF CORRUPTION that stinks at the head of state.

[a fool in paradise]

Obama acted stupidly.

[downtownconservative]

I have two words for you; affirmative action.

[GonzoGOP]

You would think that Obama would just get rid of this guy. Obama appears to be unable to understand just how offensive Van Jones's statements are to the vast majority of Americans. He is so insulated in his Harvard educated and Alynski schooled circle of friends he has no feel for how his rhetoric plays in Peoria.

This has now become a win/win for conservatives. If VJ goes under the bus, it is a big win for Beck, and hence all Conservatives. We can start taking out his advisors one by one, keeping him on the defensive and unable to help his agenda that is floundering in congress. If he keeps Van Jones around, we get to use him like an albatross around Obamas neck. A chance to discredit any "Green" proposal as just another piece of communist totalitarianism being forced upon the American people by left wing radicals.

[GnuHere]

He sounds like a Black Liberation Theology preacher when he is at the pulpit, er um, podium. Gosh, where have we seen this type before?

[Bitsy]

This one is so arrogant it actually believes otherwise.

And that fact, will be the death knell for O administration. They committed arrogance suicide.

For a Yale Law graduate, I’d say he’s not exactly doing his alma mater proud. He sound downright stupid in his public remarks.

Don't forget, Yale has a long, tragic record of admitting and graduating blacks who couldn't make it into community college if they were white. Facts are stubborn things. That's why neither Obama's nor Jones' test scores and college records will ever see the light of day.

As far as I remember, no one ever found out who hired Craig Livingston in the Clinton WH. I suspect this will go down the same way.

[PLD]

Do what you want you commie liar, but get your ass out of my white house and stay away from us..Take along the other commies with you they are next,the only reason you got it first is that you have a bigger mouth...I say impeach Obama, also he and his wife knew this commie they belong to the same commie party..If it had not of been for Glenn Beck no one would have paid attention to Jones..Funny how the others are taking credit for outing this commie..and I think you know who I mean..We are watching and listening Glenn Beck we appreciate everything you are doing for us..

[ScottinVA]

No more apologies, commie. Just leave... the country.

[o_zarkman44]

Step out Van the man and then we will consider your apology will never be accepted. Because Van, your behavior is racist, un-American and TREASONOUS to the American philosophy.

Social injustices are not solved by redistributing wealth to minorities, Social injustice is resolved with a good, education teaching the tools of capitalism and the freedoms that wealth create.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes of course WE KNOW what Obama is. HE is a communist himself. So of course he hires Communists.....but I still want this Van Jones guy GONE.
