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-

I know what you mean, but Van Johnson was a wonderful actor (really good in the Caine Mutiny) who often played American war heroes in movies. Van Jones is the white-hating, 911 Truther bigot who don’t need no stinkin’ questionnaires.

OTOH, I swiped in 利口な, and Google obligingly responded ... "clever".
Very interesting. Thanks for the link.
I dont know. I saw a clip on beck (the one I posted) and looked him up.
I'm sure the vetting doc you requested will be released along with the usurper's birth certificate, college records...etc
I just googled powell’s son. Looked like he stepped down.
Unbelievable. CzarCarol. Gotta pray and get him out - someone would have to be brain dead not to see what he is doing to this country.
Stepped down. hmmmmm Thanks. I’m on overload now - reading about the FCCCzar and the EPACzar. And there’s 27 more!
What’s the FIB?
Never mind, I got it. ;)
“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.”
Right back at him:

13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
He’s next.
No, but Pinochet did. Interesting.
I can offer you a bit of anecdotal evidence. The majority of the department I work in were liberals and voted for and were thrilled when Obama won. They were somewhat vocal about it, in fact (although not too obnoxiously so...it is a work place). Almost all of the vocal Obama supports have lost their jobs and just this last week they told us they're closing down the entire department, so about a dozen people out of work thanks to the Obama economy. Before they were gone the vocal Obama advocates were being vocally negative about Obama. I can only guess they're standing in the unemployment line with the same attitude. Now, not a single previous Obama supporter voices support for him now, and some are vocally negative toward him.
Good Post. Now we need to go after Valerie Jarrett.
