White House tight-lipped about Obama adviser

[Berlin_Freeper]

The White House is taking a mostly tight-lipped stance on an environmental adviser who made inflammatory statements in the past and is linked to efforts suggesting a governmental role in the 2001 terror attacks.

And the damned MSM will let him continue to skate for it too.

[dandiegirl]

The WH agrees with him.

[tobyhill]

This is nothing more than a lame report to give the MSM cover to say they covered it.

[La Lydia]

The AP finally gets around to reporting this. I bet there was a huge fight in their Washington bureau over whether to even mention it. So I take it AP is betting on him going down. Hmmmm.

[what's up]

The MSM hoping the milquetoast apology will help to get this creep off the hook.

[beethovenfan]

Paging KKK Byrd!

Wow! This from the AP? How did it ever get by zero's censors . . .I mean the AP editors?
This from the article:

As for his other comments he made before joining Obama's team, Jones said: "If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize."

So? What do we do know? Let it go and move on because he's a Democrat? Would the AP let it go (like they seem to be doing here, hoping it will fade away) if he was a Republican? I don't think so.

[Jeff Head]

What can the WH say. Jones is a reflection of the entire Obama administration.

Van Jones = Frank Davis = Bill Ayers = Bernardine Dohrn = Jeremiah Wright = Tony Rezko = Rashid Khalidi = Raila Ordinga = Carol Browner = Rahm Emanuel = John Holdren = Rosa Brooks = Eric Holder = Ezekiel Emanuel = BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

This is who the man is. A cauldron of corruption, greed, marxism and communism...with disturbing ties to radical Islam.

...he is also now the President of the United States of America, and he is going about, with a will, and very methodically destroying the free market and fundamental republican principle within our nation.

Obama seems to be good at getting himself into situations where he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. If he says he didn’t know, then he put someone in a powerful position with NO vetting. If he says he did know there is at least tacit agreement with his views. There is just not a lot of wiggle room for him here. Popcorn anyone?

[Cementjungle]

I would rather have commies in there who admit what they’re trying to do instead of ones who are more sneaky about it (with the same agenda). At least people can see what’s going on.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Thirty-three of Zero’s Czars to expose as enemies of America not to mention the other thugs he surrounds himself with.

Will BO throw Van under the bus?

STAND BY YOUR VAN
Tune: "Stand By Your Man" Original

Sometimes it's hard to be Obama
Backin' all the czars at your command
You'll have commies
PR tsunamis
Wipin' out your castles in the sand

But if you love him you won't dump him
Even though he's messin' up your plan
And if they throw stones
Oh, don't let go Jones
'Cause after all he's still your Van

Stand by your Van
Give him your imprimatur
Don't be a wimp about it
When whites attack your brother

Stand by your Van
And show Glenn Beck you back him
Keep backin' Jones--oh, yes you can!
Stand by your Van!

ME AND MR. JONES
Tune: "Me and Mrs. Jones" Original

Me and Mr. Jones
I took a green commie on
They all say that it's wrong
But I'm much too strong
To let him go now

We meet every day at the bust of Che
6:30, I know, I know he'll be there
Raising fists, making all kinds of lists
While we read a page of Mao Zedong

Me and Mr.--Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones
I took a green commie on
They all say that it's wrong
But I'm much too strong
To let him go now

I gotta be extra careful
That he won't give our secrets away
'Cause he won't postpone revolution
But me, I need till May

Me and Mr.--Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones
They want my green commie gone
They all say that it's wrong
Well, it won't be long
I'll let him go now

Well, it's time for me to relieve him
It hurts so much to pull the bus outside
Now I'll throw him under, and he'll resign
But tomorrow we'll tweet, the same plans, the same time

Me and Mr.--Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones
I took a green commie on
I gotta be extra careful
I can't afford to give our secrets away

I wanna meet and talk with Van
With the same plans, the same old Che, the same time
And we're gonna raise fists like we used to
We're gonna talk it over, talk it over

We know, they know, and you know and I know that it was wrong
But I'm hangin' strong
I gotta let 'em know now
That I kept a green commie on, a green commie on . . .

[philman_36]

Jones flatly said in his statement that he did not agree with the petition's stand and that "it certainly does not reflect my views, now or ever."

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Please God, let Obama be arrogant, narcissistic and stupid enough to keep Van Jones on board his administration and in the public eye.

[True Republican Patriot]

Van Jones is a close friend of OBOZO’s according to Jarrett so there is NO WAY OBOZO can claim that he had No Knowledge of Van Jone’s Extremely Racist and Anti-American Conspiratorial Bizarre Theories designed to Destroy the Fibers of AMERICA STRENGTHS AND LEADERSHIP! Remember that Van Jones’ Rants are almost Identical to Rev. Wright’s RANTS and those the Unrepemtant Terrorist and Husband of Confessed Cop Killer William Ayers...:-( The WHITE HOUSE IS FILLED WITH TRASH AS WE LEARN EVERY DAY!

[sbMKE]

the problem here is that the old media has been so deep in promoting this guy for so long that they don’t know what to do with him — the whole fact that they never background checked him at all is an indictment of how far the profession of “journalist” has slipped.

They’re getting schooled by “pajama’s media” and “bloggers” on this and are stuck with piles of slobbering accolades on behalf of Jones.

[Gator113]

They are trying to find lies that might work, and insulate Obama.

[Godwin1]

They may try to keep him. A long weekend is coming up, the MSM is ignoring the story, and they may feel the rest of us just might tire. The guy is Black so the rules are different. I think it will blow over and Jones, a clueless fool, will draw his big salary to do nothing for the next three years. If congressional Republicans had any courage, things would be different. But their greatest fear is that some fool will call them “racist.” Expect no pressure at all from them.
