I just posted this & the thread was immediately pulled. The 1st comment said something like “He’s a commie, Jim” (referring to me, or Jones?

Would someone please tell me why mine was pulled? Thank you.

Mr. Obama needs to resign: Anyone who would appoint communists, criminals, tax cheats, liberal fascists and dyed-in-the-wool socialists to his cabinet and “czar” positions has no judgement or common sense, in my opinion.

It's not about that. It's the citified way of thinking that us okey dokes are stupid and easily frightened.

Now it will be fodder for the Sunday morning shows. Otherwise CBSNBCMSNBCABCCNN wouldn’t have said a word about it.

Darn! I was hoping that this rotting bleeding red albatross would stay clutched around Obama’s neck for months to come.

What a quitter


No No, according to the media, Sarah Palin is a quitter, 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

Ditto that and Kudos to Beck from Fly-Over Country! I sure hope Beck’s staff has downloaded some of the you-tube stuff, because I am sure the other czars’ videos will be scrubbed soon.

I wonder what ploy this move is intending to hide? Plans within plans...

That’s too bad. I was hoping he would stick around longer and keep showing what a bunch of racist commies we have in Washington.
