Van Jones, a rotting bleeding red albatross around Obama’s neck, is the gift that keeps on giving.

Agreed. I do not want the now totally ineffective Van Jones going anywhere. If there's going to be such a ridiculous thing as a "green jobs" czar, I want that czar to be precisely the laughing stock, communist pantload Van Jones is. I hope he sticks around.

Thank Glenn Beck for exposing him and ALL the other commie Czars. Glenn, a single voice in the wilderness has become the roar of a lion in getting out the truth. I am so glad more and more people are tuning in on Glenn's show. I just wish there were many more (other then Free Republic) telling it like Glenn has and still is.

At this point, that phrase BO likes comes to mind: “You can put lipstick on a pig...”

Americans should have known they were electing a Communist sympathizer. The rhetoric was on record for all to see.

I agree...I knew what we were getting..I just thought he would try to hide it better...

I am still looking for a statement from the RNC calling for Jones to remove himself........birds chirping.

Not that I expect bipartisan capitulation to formulate some kind of deal with the Marxists in exchange for Jones’s stepping back.

The apologies are due to the dead and those at point
whom this Administration have failed to remember and failed to honor.

You’re right. This is all Glenn Beck’s doing. He’s a very brave man. God bless him and give the strength to continue to fight for our Country.

Verbiage, catchphrases.

Van Jones is such a preening peacock that we may need to keep him around as long as possible. . That may be why they hired him in the first place, he's even prettier than Obama.

His bellicosity harkens back to Rev Wright, and he clearly hates white people. Wright, Gates, now Jones.

I can’t remember which FReeper posted an expose video of Van Jones.

Something tells me Van Jones will be apologizing for a month or so.

I want all of the Communists run out of the Obama Administration. And I want the public to be AWARE that these people are Communists.

Look for the media to spin it that he had to leave for using the AH word to describe Republicans. Not his anti-white racist speech. Not his Communist ideology. Not his truther conspiracy theories.

Joycelyn Elders was forced out “reportedly” over encouraging kids to masturbate but she’d also claimed that old people were just gonna die anyway and that health care money should be spent on the young people who were going to be paying social security into the system.

I don’t understand why he hasn’t stepped down. Does the whole administration have a tin ear?

The depth of the incompetence of this administration and it’s goons is beyond understanding. They are incapable of hiding their agenda, and then try to convince us, the American public, that the emperor is wearing clothes. I’m infuriated that these buffoons believe I’m not intelligent enough to see through their smoke and mirror tactics.

Well - you may be right.....win / win. But for America, it is lose/lose because whether Jones goes or stays, we know that Obama is THE COMMUNIST IN CHIEF and his entourage - whether official or otherwise - are in power and are out to destroy this country and bring misery and suffering to millions - which already is occurring as the “jobless”
recovery (depression) deepens.

Not only should Republicans in Washington be demanding this guy go, but whoever VETTED him should resign as well.

We need to return to the real meaning of the word “apology”. An apology is a “reasoned defense or explanation of a position held or action taken.” To seek “reconciliation” or “forgiveness” for a position held or an action taken is something entirely different and requires additional action in the form of “restitution” or a “renunciation and repentance or an amendment of thought or action in regard to the particular offense.”

Mr. Jones has offered a little of both, but it remains to see if he has taken the appropriate residual action to effect “restitution” and a “renunciation” of previous thoughts, words and deeds. I'm thinking only time will tell. He does not say in either his apology or his repentance that he is willing to amend his past behavior or that he was in error when he made those statements.

In the past, he has made populist statements that were neither factual, nor reasoned. The question remains as to whether he is capable of reasoned thought, so let's all find out by keeping an eye on him and helping him to make restitution for his formerly incendiary words and deeds. If the poison is still circulating in his body, he's not well enough to advise ANYONE, especially the leader of the free world.

Forget the "regrettable statements". The fact he's a communist should disqualify him from any government job, period!
