Van Jones Explained: "I Was Always Picked Last For Phys. Ed."; Scammed Law Degree From Yale
Saturday, September 5, 2009 | Kristinn

It appears the reason high level Obama appointee Van Jones has such a deep seated hatred for America has been found: He was a nerd who was bullied in school and was "always picked last" in team sports.

In an undated interview published at Collage Foundation, Jones spoke of his growing up as a nerd and how he scammed a graduate degree from Yale:

When you were younger, what were you interested in?

I was mainly interested in journalism and poetry and writing. I read a lot of comic books, James Bonda lot of good guy vs. bad guy type of stuff. I was a big 'Star Wars' fanÉI played a lot of strategy board games—I was basically a nerd.

Do you see any connection between that and the work you ended up doing?

Definitely—when I was younger I was really small and I was always picked last for Phys. Ed, sports teams and stuff. I was a bully magnet, so I grew up with a really strong hatred for bullies and people who abuse their power.

SNIP

I had a professor who encouraged me to apply to Harvard and Yale [for law school], which was almost unheard of for students coming from the kind of public schools that I was coming from in the rural South. I was accepted to both places, and decided to go to Yale because Yale didn't have any grades and was smaller than Harvard. I figured, once I enroll I'm guaranteed to graduate, so I can just go and be a radical hellraiser student, and they can't do anything about it. Which is pretty much what happened.

Jones also spoke about going to undergraduate school and getting internships and scholarships based on being Black:

I went to college on a minority scholarship. All my internships were minority internships...

So there you have it. Another tyrant working out his childhood issues on America.

I got my ass beat on my own front porch once and my mom saw what was happening and locked the front door. That was ~the~ event that taught me not to be a prick anymore.

Imagine growing up the child of two dysfunctional radical communists with chips on their shoulders about the world.

Maybe he'll be President some day. It worked already for one unhappy camper...

Alinsky was the same way as a child—it left him with a hatred of mankind—two differences—Alinsky, twisted as he was, was a brilliant mind, who crapped out more brains on any given day than this affirmative action assclown Van Jones ever had.

The other difference of course is the race card—and as I mentioned in another post, 95% of blacks (including BO) are fully in agreement with this guy—it goes far beyond just Van Jones.

It is absolutely racist for you to bring up that Van is queer, a commie, a self-hating African-American, a con artist, an Affirmative Action Academic Pimp, and that he apparently possesses neither intelligence nor athletic ability.

This is double-trouble-honkey-racist-bigot, gender-normative homophobia... and unpatriotic besides, because this fellow is a friend of the POTUS, and we know what that means.

Allah commands us to be submissive not only to Him and the teaching of His Prophet Muhammed (May Peace Be Upon Him) but to all earthly authority that speaks in His Name, viz The Anointed One Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.,and his sidekick, Van.

Please reply to this post with your real infidel name and e-mail address, so that I may fulfill my dhimmi duty to the above and report you to the White House Monitoring Service... and by the way that Jones-Mumia Rap CD is overdue at the liberry. Get it back, honkey.

This post is not worth a whole ping, so how about a dhimmi-ping? BTW, Van will be "exploring other opportunities" as soon as The Anointed One can arrange it and not make it appear that he is throwing this communist under the bus.

Being a Puna-ho, Occidental, Columbia and Harvard man, our POTUS realizes that the last actual Czar was a white man, and may use this as the opportunity to make an historic, rather than an hysterical, appointment.

Isn't he more of a geek than a nerd? Nerds are supposed to be actually good at something.

I appreciate your thoughtful reprimand. Perhaps I should tone down my rhetoric and... ...NAH!

You hate the bullies, so you become a bigger bully to get rid of all “bullies”. There is a name for that. Little man syndrome.

No, you weren't a nerd. If you were a nerd you would have been playing with computers, electronics, and rocketry. What you were, is technically referred to as a wimp. Is there any definite proof of this guy's heterosexuality?

“He’d rather confess than accuse. “I can’t rail against all the warmongers, polluters and incarcerators OUT THERE,” he says, “without first confessing to all the warmongers, polluters and incarcerators that I carry within myself.”

Oh great, we have such quality people joining this administration.
I’m sure Vlad Putin fears our nation more than he did last week.
This administration makes small rabbits tremble.

I don’t mind admitting I’m scared of Obama’s administration. I fear for our republic, but I don’t believe it’s too late.

A POS loser gaming the race card entree.

If we could read Obama’s theses’ I’m betting we get the same POS. Yes our President is a POS.

Oh, boo-hoo. Cry me a river. I was picked on, too, but you don’t see my treating the entire country like one giant bully. If I have to live with the pain, so does this scumbag.

Jones lives in Oakland with his wife, Jana, and their three-year-old son, Cabral, named after African revolutionary Amilcar Cabral.

Ya know, that's what I always wanted to do. Have two boys named Adolf and Che.
