I'm always outnumbered, of course, but I never lose the debate.

God bless you, keep up the good fight! What the dems have done to black America is shameful.

What I’m interested is knowing whether or not Obama asked for the resignation. Where Obama stands on this resignation issue is very telling. I really don’t care what Gibbs has to say, what I want to know is what Obama has to say on it. So far, he appears to have been silent.

Maybe he'll tell the kiddies on Tuesday.

What is the expression, don’t pick a fight that buys ink by the barrel? Well, Van Jones learned don’t pick a fight with a guy that has 4 hours of talk time per day.

Beck 1
Czars 0

Batter up!

Of course they do. Admitting otherwise would be admitting that Van Jones is a lying racist fascist.

Actually I’m probably the only one surprised by this, I thought Obama would make him stay because he wouldn’t want to start the precedent of geting rid of the “black radical guy” since the next one of those is himself!

For awhile I thought the same. But revelations kept coming. And then I recalled the remark about never letting a good crisis go to waste, and decided they wouldn't let a good holiday weekend go to waste. It had to happen this weekend. That's the Washington Way.

Jones said he has been "inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to stay and fight."

"Across the political spectrum?" What spectrum? From radical treasonous fascists, to radical murderous communists, to raving liberal? This communist doesn't have a clue what the spectrum of politics is.

Didn’t anyone read the story? Gibbs says he is continuing to work with the administration. Nothing has changed with Van Jones but his title. Obama pulling another slicky.

Same old excuse. Democrats accuse people of smearing them when they use their own words to describe them. I was hoping for a more fitting resignation from a guy that believes cop killers should go free and that we attacked ourselves on 9/11/2001, than the old boilerplate “i iz a victim of the man”.

Thank you Mom. You are right, it is shameful. It's not a coincidence, though, that most every successful black business owner I know (and I know many from the Chamber) is NOT a Democrat. Reliance on government has been replaced by distrust. Of course, that doesn't just happen overnight it requires a lot of hard work. But, as we've so often heard, freedom is never free. :-)

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

I don't know why anybody would have a problem with this statement, some republican's like John McCain and other rino's are a-holes! Although, I'm also not sure of exactly what else he said.

Speaking of “Batter up”, check out Glenn Beck dealing with Mr. Jones, who didn’t notice that something was happening:

Gibbs said that during his press conference on Friday, PRIOR to Van Jones resignation.

Yep. And even with the MSM not probing the except for Fox. This was strictly Fox (Glenn Beck) along with conservative blogs pushing the issue.

But Jones came up after an entire month of bad news for Obambi, and coming just when he's preparing for his speech before congress. He's trying to cut his losses. Well, sorry, bud, but we've only just begun...

Exactly right.

We have yet to hear Obama denounce Van Jones either for his communist affiliation or his 911 Truther connection.

Which means, of course, he does NOT disavow Jones’ at all.

Which means that this resignation actually means very little.

In fact, Congress should NOT go by these mere words from Jones at all. Congress should set up an investigative body to look into all the Czars including looking at the bank accounts of one Van Jones AFTER his so called resignation.

My bet is Mr. Jones will still be siphoning off taxpayer dollars - behind the scenes. Who would know?

Further, it should be monitored as to where Mr. Jones spends his time now....and how often he remains in touch with Zero and his administration.

Communists simply don’t fade away into the nothing.

Jones will still be around and will be influencing policy..just not as an up front “official”. IMHO.

I hope Glenn Beck and company will find ways to keep their eye on the slimey creep Jones.

(Notice the article doesn’t use the term “czar”).

He was billed as Green Jobs Czar. We don’t know why he was really there.We don’t know what he was really doing or advising.

He is far to Communist and radical just to be the Green Jobs adviser

Let’s not forget how this began. Van Jones was trying to take out Glenn Beck by throwing a “racist” charge at him and mounting a campaign to get his advertisers to drop the show. Talk about payback being a bitch. Van Jones has just be bitch-slapped by Glenn Beck.
