WHERE IN GOD'S NAME IS THE FBI VETTING OF THESE RADICAL SUBVERSIVES IN OUR GOVT ???

IIRC, I heard the czars are not vetted and that the WH said they would handle all the mundane paperwork on these "advisors"

Wonderful news. If the administration cannot vet their own people, we’ll do it for them. Kudos to those who were instrumental in getting this piece of work out.

Jones is such a nasty dog we can count on him continuing his dirty work against Beck and America.

This time tho we are watching.

Seems he was Arianna Huffinton’s campaign promoter during her run for CA governor.

We not only know about him but now we know who his ‘friends’ are too.

That’s cause the LA Times is full of one time Marxists.

My guess is that FNC will be discussing this. It was Van Jones who organized the boycott against Beck. That cost FNC a serious loss of revenue.

Jones said he quit, and I quote, "after a vicious smear campaign against me."

Yep, Jones, it's those vicious smears of the truth that are the worst kind...ultimately, they'll get you every time. In the end, you can't run from who you are.

But the heart of this issue, which like with Gates, Wrigth, Ayers, etc. the mai stream media is not reporting, is this:

Look at Obama's inner circle throughout his life...and the picture is clear.

Van Jones = Frank Davis = Bill Ayers = Bernardine Dohrn = Jeremiah Wright = Tony Rezko = Rashid Khalidi = Raila Ordinga = Carol Browner = Rahm Emanuel = Henry Gates = John Holdren = Rosa Brooks = Eric Holder = Ezekiel Emanuel = BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

This is who the man is. A cauldron of corruption, greed, marxism and communism...with disturbing ties to Islam.

...he is also now the President of the United States of America, and he is going about, with a will, and very methodically destroying the free market and fundamental republican principle within our nation.

Candidates’ stances on gun issues emerge
The Sacramento Bee - Wednesday, September 3, 2003
Author: Herbert A. Sample ; Bee Staff Writer

EXCERPT

One of the most progressive candidates in the race, independent Arianna Huffington , also backs further gun restrictions.

“People with power need to use that power responsibly and accountably,” said a spokesman, Van Jones . “Picking up a gun gives you a whole lot of power in that moment. We need to make sure that people with access to that power have been properly vetted, have proper training and can be held accountable for their actions.”

Yeah well his staff better bring more than one mop. Apparently he has a urine issue when he gets excited. Well at least that is what rumors say.

Gets all "wee-wee'd up" does he?

Don't count on it he might say he has resigned but keep watching the scum bags in Washington..I can bet you he will still be hanging around and getting paid by George Soros

Soros can give him all his dirty money if he wants. What I worry about is that he'll reunite with his former group, give it a new name and then be on the receiving end of billions in stimulus funds.
