Van Jones Scandal Threatens Obama Presidency (Accuracy In Media report)
Accuracy In Media ^ | Sep. 5, 2009 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 09/05/2009 9:28:17 PM PDT by Travis McGee

Reporting from near the home turf of embattled Green Jobs Czar Van Jones, Joe Garofoli of the San Francisco Chronicle says it's clearly a bad sign when White House flak Robert Gibbs is asked if Jones still enjoys the confidence of the President and merely replies that Jones "continues to work in this administration." But the White House has to know that, if Jones goes, the questions won't end. Who appointed him? Who looked into his background? Who knew what and when? Gibbs knows that the Jones controversy undermines confidence in the President, who bears ultimate responsibility for the appointment. Gibbs also has to know that, if Jones' background can sink Jones, the President himself is in trouble. Obama has decades of friendly associations with communists and terrorists, ranging from Communist Party USA member Frank Marshall Davis in his youth in Hawaii to communist terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in Chicago when he was doing community organizing and running for political office. By comparison to Obama, when it comes to nefarious connections, Jones is a piker. Curiously, it's not Jones' communist background which has proven to be the most controversial. Rather, it's his two apologies in a week for statements calling Republicans "assholes" and having signed a 9/11 truth statement blaming the terrorist attacks on U.S. officials. It's the communism, stupid. As Professor Paul Kengor points out, "We now know that even the most authoritative sources, such as the seminal Harvard University Press work, The Black Book of Communism, were conservative when estimating only 100 million deaths at the hands of communist governments. The latest research, for instance, claims that Mao Zedong alone was responsible for the deaths of at least 60-70 million in China, and Joseph Stalin alone may well have killed 60 million in the USSR-

Thank you! Fox, just now? Was he fired or left to spend more time w/the family?

I went back to reread the article - thinking how could I miss that?

The Obama Administration is pursuing the destruction of anti-communist Honduras, in order to please Hugo Chavez, the Marxist ruler of Venezuela currently on a friendly visit to terrorist Iran. This is a scandal that deserves at least as much attention as Van Jones' communist connections

Hear, Hear!

For CNN and its ilk the questions never even started.

Obama likes this guy and his philosophy - it’s only that it has become harder to pull one over on the American people recently.

How disillusioning it must be for all those naive white folks who voted for Obama. To realize that a man who listened and apparently subscribed to the white-hating rants of his “minister” for over 20 years, w/o batting an eye, could actually appoint black racists to his administration! AMAZING!

Did Hitler resign? Did Castro? Did Stalin? Did Mao? Power-drunk politicians do not resign.

Not embattled anymore. He is, like so many, unemployed.

Officially, maybe, but this p.o.s. will still be hanging around Washington doing what he can to help Ubama destroy traditional America. He said as much in his "resignation" letter.
