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.........."

HHA!! Way to go Beck, who's next? There is a wealth of information on Valerie Jarrett that emerging. Her Communist ties. Remember, she is the one that said obama was "ready to rule". Van Jone is the ultimate hypocrite. For someone that spews so much hatred toward white people, how ironic is this?

[Albion Wilde]

Oh delicious....more bodies under the bus...

"You're fired."

"Give it to me straight!"

"You're through!"

"What's the word on the street?"...

[swheats]

Very well said. Let’s hope those who do the cutting of taxes and manage the endangered species lists and manage the Federal Reserve will hear you and create an environment that entrepreneurs and risk takers will create jobs for those seeking one.

It might not be one person, but there’s definately a group of folks who have stifled job creation.

[adm5]

Enough bickering about who should take credit.

Everyone involved should be proud of what has happened, but this is just the beginning, no time for chest-thumping.

America is a little safer tonight than it was yesterday evening; and that’s all that matters.

Thanks Jet Jaguar for the heads up

The list, ping

[Deo volente]

Turn the water back on in CA, do you realize how many jobs have been lost just by that one act alone, not to mention higher food costs and, eventually, food shortages.


I recently drove from L.A. to the San Francisco area on Interstate 5. The drive takes you through the great San Joaquin Valley with its farms and orchards. Well, for about 200 miles, where there was once fertile land and all sorts of crops growing on either side of the highway as far as the eye could see, there was only dirt. Every mile or so you would see a yellow sign next to the road that said, "Congress Created Dust Bowl". Other signs said, "No Water, No Jobs, No Future".

I drive this route visiting family up north about twice a year, and I was shocked to see this. Last December there were crops galore. Now there are two hundred miles of dirt, because the federal government took away the farmers' water. Incredible. I'd like to know what the deal is!

[LaybackLenny]

I didn’t realize who first produced that video but I give a hat tip to whomever did. However, the “a-hole” comment was nothing compared to Van Jones’s background and commie beliefs. I don’t believe that Jones would have resigned over that comment. It’s the rest of his story that did him in, IMO.

[GnuHere]

She needs to go - she provides all the evidence that the WH knew exactly what they were getting with Van Jones.

[STARWISE]

STILL nothing on Drudge yet .. Hey Matt: get with the program. CNN is still deciding how to handle the trashy
czar they ignored ... NADA!

[Reagan is King]

Barack Obama told audiences, 'Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.'

I think Van the nutcase commie is the perfect example we can use to judge Barry Hussein by. Jones was just more honest about his true intentions than Obama was.

[kcvl]

Mr. Jones said he was the victim of a smear campaign.

“You’ve never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, ‘We can’t believe it happened here. We can’t believe it’s these suburban white kids.’ It’s only them. Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He’s not going to shoot up the whole school.”

Van Jones Mocks Columbine

[blam]

"I wonder if the NAACP thinks of Obama since they believe Van Jones is a consensus and not some radical nut job. "

These bunch of thugs will make an even more determined effort to silence Glenn Beck.

We must support and defend Glenn at every opportunity.

Obama will send Mark Lloyd after Glenn, just watch.

[itssme]

How about “up next” as follows: Mark Lloyd,
Cass Sunstein, Eric Holder, Carol Brown, Ezekiel Emanuel...all communists, revolutionary radicals, all waiting a long time to work their communist magic in the White House, all working for obama, AND THEY MUST ALL BE REMOVED FROM THE WHITE HOUSE NOW. CALL/WRITE YOUR POLITICIANS, REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT, AND DEMAND THAT THEY DO SOMETHING TO REMOVE THESE COMMUNISTS IN OBAMA’S ADMINISTRATION AND CZAR POOL. THESE POLITICIANS TOOK AN OATH TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ENEMIES BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. DEMAND THAT THESE POLITICIANS DO THEIR JOB AND STOP THIS INFESTATION OF COMMUNISTS INTO OUR GOVERNMENT. KEEP APPLYING PRESSURE...CONTACT THE NEWSPAPER EDITORS AND DEMAND THAT THEY DO THE JOB THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO AND QUESTION, INVESTIGATE THE WHITE HOUSE, AND THE TRUTH ABOUT COMMUNISM IN THE WHITE HOUSE, AND THE CONNECTION OF OBAMA AS THEIR LEADER. KEEP APPLYING PRESSURE...PLAY THE GAME THEIR WAY..DON’T LET UP...WE HAVE THE AMMO TO HIT THEM WITH, AND HIT THEM HARD! C’MON, AMERICA, START APPLYING THE PRESSURE, DEMAND THAT YOU GET RESPONSES TO YOUR DEMANDS, AND GET THESE DAMNED COMMUNISTS OUT..PERIOD!

[I see my hands]

Does this mean David Frum isn't an asshole anymore?

[elizabethgrace]

Thanks for your observation. I’ll be sure to notice his body language during his speech, which, until tonight, I wasn’t going to watch..lol.

You bet he’s a bitter, angry man and that’s rather surprising given he’s gone from community organizer to TOTUS in such a short time.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Isn't late Saturday night, after the Sunday newspapers are already out the door, considered by the scumbag politicians and their allies in the Democrat newsrooms to be the best time to unload politically damaging news?

Especially in the middle of a major three day holiday weekend.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Somewhere tonight, Glenn Beck is crying like a patriotic little school girl ... :)

Way to go Beck! Outstanding!
