Grist's David Roberts Defends Van Jones, Ward Churchill of the Greens

The America-hating communist 9/11 "truther" Van Jones has an ally in his fellow Huffington Post writer David Roberts.

Roberts of Grist, a misanthropic far-left environmentalist webzine bankrolled by many of the same funders who have backed Van Jones's nonprofit ventures, is currently in contention to be the most shameless liar of the left-o-sphere.

We already know that Jones believes George W. Bush hates black people. Jones founded Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM) and the Ella Baker Center both of which participated in a vigil the day after Sept. 11, 2001, "mourning the victims of U.S. imperialism around the world."

Jones sounded like Ward Churchill when he released a statement Sept. 12, 2001, mourning only "the deaths of innocent working class people" and "those who would surely lose their lives in subsequent U.S. attacks overseas." It seems anyone who died in the terrorist attacks who wasn't working class deserved to die, according to Jones's own words.

"I'm willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends," Jones said.

This maggot has to go.

The tide is turning against our leftist fellow Americans and faster than I ever thought possible considering the more than inappropriate adoration placed upon ‘The One’ only mere months ago.

Perhaps they lost the virtue of patience that brought them this far to begin with. After all, incremental changes to our customs and traditions have worked so well in the past.

Whatever the reason, this county isn’t ready to become North Cuba just yet. Give us another 15 to 20 years to think about it and ask us again.
