WASHINGTON - An environmental adviser for President Barack Obama, Van Jones, has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.

Van Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs," has been linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.........."

So MSNBC says Van Jones resigns, but I heard you guys at OlberMannville ignored the Van Jones story. So are you dingbats going to tell your bong hit'n viewers who Jones is?

I liked Van Jones is that he put an open face to cryto Communist Obama and his administration.

And why Van Jones wasn’t the right man for the position

Is there a right man for the green energy czar position?

It’s funny that article didn’t mention anything about the other controversial things he has said like about the Columbine kids being white, etc.

You know AP/MSNBC, etc. know about that or else they aren’t much of a news organization!

Yep.

Beck gets the most credit for this one.

Let’s see who the replacement is- perhaps someone who doesn’t hate whites?

I’m only about a quarter way done with Browner and it looks like some good stuff will come out of it.

"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide,"

This from a who guy walks around calling himself a communist.

Van Jones is an honorable man that was persecuted by Glenn Beck, the white man who wanted to bring him down. Expect that to be the excuse of the media in the upcoming days

I hope they use that laughable argument since it is so easily refutable and would necessitate presenting Jones' own words.

Probably what took them a little longer than normal to turn a breaking news banner into an actual story.

Well, well. Someone got his just desserts. He was the one—he and his Colors of Change group that pressured advertisers to boycott Glenn Beck’s show, hoping FOX would take him off the air.

The irony is certainly delicious.

From last month....FR Thread:

UPDATED: As boycott continues, Glenn Beck's audience swells

*********************************EXCERPT INTRO***************

LA Times ^ | 8/27/09 | staff

Posted on Fri 28 Aug 2009 08:43:43 AM PDT by pissant

An advertising boycott against Fox News host Glenn Beck has succeeded in keeping most major sponsors from running commercials on his show even as the controversial commentator's viewership has grown.

Beck attracted 2.81 million viewers Monday, his third-largest audience since his show launched on Fox News in January, according to Nielsen Media Research data provided by the network. On Tuesday, nearly 2.7 million viewers tuned in, his fifth-largest viewership to date. And the conservative host got a plug from former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who urged people to watch his program in a post on her Facebook page.

“FOX News' Glenn Beck is doing an extraordinary job this week walking America behind the scenes of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and outlining who is actually running the White House,” she wrote Wednesday to her 800,000-plus supporters.

Color of Change, an African American political advocacy group, organized the boycott last month to protest Beck’s comment that he believes President Obama is a racist. The group succeeded in securing commitments from at least 36 companies that have pledged not to advertise on his show, including Wal-Mart and Sprint. Some, such as AT&T and Procter & Gamble, were not Beck advertisers to begin with, but their ads had mistakenly appeared on the program. Representatives from those companies reiterated their request not to have spots during his show. Later today, Color of Change plans to announce six more companies that also are declining to be Beck advertisers.

Guess this news wasn't "Fit to Print".

Look in the classified ads under "employment" for community organizers.
