“”””On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me,” Jones said in his resignation statement. “They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.”””

So even when the truth smacks him the face, he has to distort and lie and BLAME it on the evil republicans. I am surprised he didn’t say it was Bushes fault he had to resign....Liberals never stop amazing me, they will hold others accountable for every action but somehow they are not to be held to that same standard. THANK YOU GLEN BECK!!!!

From the article:
"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."

Yeah, those videos, archived writings, and signed petitions were just "lies and distortions." You created the petard and did most of the hoisting yourself.

I expected a statement like that from Van Jones. Pretending to throw himself on his sword.

Funny that he does it in the middle of the night on a long weekend.

I checked out the DUmpster...they think, almost universally, it’s about the “a-hole” comment. DUmmies indeed.

I’ve been called much worse by far better men so that a-hole comment doesn’t bother me. It was the thought of having a racist, lying fascist in control of billions of dollars.

Oh that’s right, the FUnniest comment over at the DUmpster was where one guy blames Glenn Beck for “McCarthyism”.

As they are saying on Fox & Friends this morning....Fox is the only network to cover Van Jones up until his resignation....now the others have jumped on board.

History has proven McCarthy was right.

Van Jones says he didn’t *really* resign because he just signed the resignation letter but didn’t read it...

While this is great news, I was hoping he would hold on a bit longer and embarrass the messiah a bit longer. On the other hand this is the first time we have been able to turn the tables on them with demands for a resignation. Let’s keep the pressure up and force Sunstein out next, then the next one and so on. These Democrats still haven’t learned how easy it is to research someone in this information age.

The Alinsky tactics work especially well in cases where there is actually something there like there was with Van Jones.

Translation: AND I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT, IF NOT FOR THOSE PESKY BLOGGERS AND THAT NUT ON FOX!!! DRAT!! DOUBLE DRAT!!

I'm gonna miss this guy! He's a laugh riot! Van Jones sounds like a pretty good name for a band though.
