More Van Jones: A Reverend Wright moment?
Hot Air ^ | September 4, 2009 | by Ed Morrissey

Posted on 09/04/2009 10:51:38 AM PDT by yoe

Thanks to the work done by Jim Hoft at (Gateway Pundit) , an (an army of Davids) has begun scouring the Internet to find more about Barack Obama adviser Van Jones and his bent towards 9/11 Trutherism. Hot Air reader Geoff A digs out (this nugget) from 2002 at the first anniversary of 9/11 in San Francisco, when Jones appeared at the Embarcadero for a protest. Here’s the description, which sounds familiar to anyone who followed the Obama presidential campaign (emphases mine):

"# Wednesday, Sept. 11, 5:30 AM - 7:30 PM ALL-DAY SEPT. 11 PEACE GATHERING Justin Herman Plaza, Embarcadero at Market Street Join us in commemorating the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, and envisioning a world free of war and violence with a full day of art, culture, spirit, politics, and words of hope. 5:30 AM Buddhist Peace Service 12 Noon Break Bread for Peace Lunch Program 5:30 PM Concert w/Holly Near, Michael Franti, Ram Dass and others peace [at] globalexchange.org http://www.unitedforpeace.org 5:30 AM Buddhist Peace Service Led by the San Francisco Zen Center (impact time at the World Trade Center) 12 Noon -1:00 PM Break Bread Lunch Program Music and words of truth from diverse communities that have experienced violence 1-3pm United My Ass! http://www.truth-now.com If terrorism is a form of warfare, and war terrorizes, then what exactly is a war on terror? got freedom?

Obama is thumbing his nose at the United States Constitution and the laws it stands for. He is but a pawn in some game started years ago to Over Throw the United States of America and turn her in to a Communist Government. Obama is Impeachable for his crimes against the country he swore to protect....he is feeding her daily to to lions of Marxism. Stop Him and Them NOW! CALL YOUR ELECTED MONDAY AND DEMAND THEY PUT A STOP THE THE OBAMA TRAIN TO MARXISM - Obama's handlers are getting ready to pull the switch on our freedom and liberty's....we have been warned time and again as to who this man really is....he isn't pro America or American himself.

“Obama could no more disavow Van Jones than he could disavow his white grandmother” . . . . oops , he already used that line. .

Any other suggestions?

Obama is not appointing czars, he constructing a politburo.

Van Jones is clearly helping the numbers for the Pres....to go down, I’d say.

Give props to Glenn Beck for exposing everything. He did the heavy lifting that got all the others going.

Van Jones will go first, then hopefully, Mark Loyd and Cass Sunstein.

If Obama fires Jones by Monday, he’s running for re-election in 2012. If not, there will be no more elections.

The morons in the WH are the most incompetent people I’ve ever had the priviledge of watching trying to run this country (into the ground). They have a socialist/marxist agenda, and are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people, but they keep shooting themselves in the foot. This would all be comical if not for the real damage being done to this country and it’s people.

The importance of O’s Wright moment is that many people, including Republicans, were led to see him as a post-racial American, someone who had stepped beyond race. Many people, perhaps especially Republicans, are anxious to see America put its race obsession behind it once and for all. O promoted that view of himself.

The the Wright bombshell hit, and people were forced to realize that O was apparently as race obsessed as any other Democrat.

It also destroyed his credibility as a Christian candidate. I knew a number of people who immediately liked the fact that he was apparently up front about his Christianity. How exactly he could resolve his faith with his Democrat political views wasn’t clear, but they admired the fact that finally we have a Democrat who isn’t afraid to mention his faith in public.

Wright jerked the legs out from under that misconception too. A listen to Wright’s rantings and everyone knew that anyone who could sit still for that could not possibly be a Christian in any normal sense.

Van Jones just reminds us that everything Wright showed us about O’s character is confirmed. You want to know who O is? Ignore what he says. Look at who he surrounds himself with.

I would submit to you that L’Affaire Van Jones has proven that O is far, far worse than your typical Democrat

It’s important to note that the Wright bombshell hit after the Hawkeye Cauci. Hillary threw in the towel after Iowa.

Elections will not end. They may change character. They have been changing in character for several cycles as vote fraud has been normalized across the country and ACORN has more and more begun to control them.

It’s really just too funny. I can’t believe the American people were foolish enough to vote this regime into power. We here on FR knew. Everyone else was blind.
