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-

Methinks he threw in the towel 5 September, and then it was announced 6 September.

Kind of like Pearl Harbor is 7 December to the USA and 8 December to the Japanese.

Happy VJ Day everyone!

Ohhhh They will pull the racism card and will pull it hard and fast!!

a) Watch where Van ends up.

b) Watch if the radical left goes ballistic and starts in on Obama.

Fan the flames and create even more divisions.

Go on the offense, and get even more czars. Put them completely on the defensive so they are forced off message well into late Autumn. ;^)

Quick — email Helen Thomas !!! She needs to slap Gibb over and over again until he resigns !

Say a prayer that Van Jones brings it home.

Mr. Gibbs?

Who vetted Van Johnson. It seems you had a 63 questionaire that all appointees had to fill out and disclose to dictator Obama for approval.

can we see the vetting document on Van Johnson and others? Yes this includes you too Mr. Gibbs.

I so hope it really entrenches the rad/libs and starts up an *Eastern Front* on Obama’s ass, from the LEFT, while we continue to gain ground and power on the RIGHT.

OK, I'll put down Sept 5th for him. I have 29 empty lines left on my paper.

>>More and more Americans are learning that any confidence they had in president Obama was massively misplaced.<<

I can only wish that you were right — I have not seen much evidence of it. Most Obama voters seem to be incorrigible.

Pencil in Mark Lloyd the FCC czar. Google him. He wants to shut down people like Beck. He is using Saul Alinsky methods, google him.

We're not doing our job then - we gotta keep it going until at least 2010. ;)

Now, if we could only get some judge to listen to some of these cases to unlock his records, maybe we wont have to put up with obozo for 3+ more years.
