Actually, I don't know how many of you have noticed, but "Van the Man" is using code; where he says "nerd" in describing himself, he actually means "Queer."

Van Jones is a raging, flaming homosexual with several axes to grind, not the least of which is his severely gender-conflicted self image. There is no greater perpetual victim than a black homosexual, whose only hope for any sense of self-worth is to imagine (and believe!) that the majority of people around him are cruel and villainous users.

His sociopathic penchants and deeply conflicted extreme mental disorder found him naturally drawn to the most liberal and aberrent forms of political self expression as a way to justify his otherwise useless existence.

As a gay man, he and his partner cannot bear children. As a hate-filled anti-social loser, he can fulfill no meaningfully productive role in normal society. His only possible purpose on this earth is to imagine huge hairy monsters (Conservative White Capitalists) and commit himself feverishly to destroying them.

How very sad. To awaken every day knowing that you're a loser whose only lot in life is to destroy, because your own choices make you incapable of creating anything. Poor guy. Girl. Whatever...

LOL. Right after he graduated from Yale, he headed directly to SAN FRANCISCO.

Yesterday, when I was searching for information about him, I read wiki and I think his wiki bio stated, “married with 1 son.” NO mention of his marital status on wiki tonight.

I will try to find the other article which said he’s married and has a son.

didn’t know that! got more?

MY HERO, VAN JONES

~snip~

He was not always the dynamic, witty, confident figure he is today. Van would be the first to tell you that he started out life as a constantly sick skinny kid with a speech impediment and a limp, and had to work hard to overcome these setbacks.

He was, however, able to rise above his challenges to become one of the most well known, well liked, powerful and strategic human rights activists alive today. Marianne Manilov, a close friend and ally of Van’s, says that when she first started working with him fifteen years ago, he was extremely shy and wouldn’t lift his head from his legal books long enough to engage in conversation during their activist carpool ride. When they pulled up to his home, he’d say, “thanks” and then practically run inside.

After years of working on himself and adjusting to the limelight, he’s finally earned the Superman belt buckle a friend of his awarded him as a Christmas present last year. It’s taken much encouragement and support from close friends for him to accept himself and his position enough to step into the role as the spearhead of a major social movement. Van strongly believes that if we’re going to change the world, we’re going to have to do it together. He believes that each one of us has the power to affect this shift.

It took Van two years of facing his spiritual self, feeding his health needs, and spending time with people outside of his work to return to what he considered a stable place. His breakdown happened just a few months after Julia Butterfly Hill came down from her two year tree-sit. Both of them emotionally raw and wanting to work hard to change the world, they helped each other walk through this difficult time.

I also asked if he is ever afraid that someone will exploit his mistake and make him look bad. He says that, no, he doesn’t worry about this because he’s not so concerned with the way he’s making himself look.

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.

I am just as bad and terrible and greedy and selfish as all the people in the White House whom I like to criticize and oppose. I have no doubt about that.” !!!!!!

yes, but it is said he is married (with a female, unless he is in Vermont) and has a young boy.

Dude is on the down low

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.
