“He was busy sparkling and didnt read it thoroughly”

Even though he spoke at a rally on 9/13/01 to blame the US for the attacks? We need to get the info out on that one but maybe Beck will clear the decks of Van Jones tomorrow while he initiates action on now a target rich environment as more people will be watching.

Think of it like the weeks afteer a Super Bowl game when all of a sudden out of nowhere scores of people can be seen sporting shirts and stickers of the victor where weeks before there were none. Glenn is on the rise and more people are taking notice with intentions good and bad.

“many progressives angry at the Obama administration”

They are angry in power. They are angry out of power.

It is 12:50 - they are angry.

More like the shape of a sickle. As in hammer and sickle.

Exactly! They are not ‘progressives.’ They are DESTRUCTIVES! They are destroying our nation.

one of the few liberal voices with President Obama's ear.

HUH? Joe Garofoli is on crack.

Supporters say the administration surely knew his background when they appointed Jones,

So they are saying that the administration's spokespeople are LYING when they say it was not known

With one of enemy's advance MIGs downed, pilot ejected, and all our fighters back safely, a post-mission de-brief back at the base:

Cognizant of it or not, IRONICALLY, AND THIS WILL DRIVE SENATOR OBAMA BONKERS, WE TOOK WHOLE SECTIONS OUT OF SAUL ALINSKY'S BOOK AND APPLIED IT WITH GREAT SUCCESS IN VAN JONES' CASE.

I wholeheartedly recommend we perfect these tactics and adopt them in the next cases: Mark, Cass, Valerie and the rest of the whole rotten statist, elitist crew in D.C. (and their replacements if they don't get the message the first time we, the People, are serious).

Sound familiar?:

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”

Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”

Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract (socialist organizations) or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Liberals cannot stand it when another liberal gives-in to attacks from conservatives.

For liberals it is like having a soldier run-away from his post during a battle.

Therein we can drive deeper wedges among their ranks, when these internal fissures develop. Which they are now as we speak, beween center leftists and hard core Marxist/Leninist-Maoists within the Democrat/Obama camp. The anger at Obama is starting to arise within their own ranks. This is where we can begin the act, and eventually divide and conquer. They are very weak and off balance as we speak. We cannot allow them to regroup or get back into their funk. They will try it with Senator Obama’s health speech on Wednesday, and they were going to try it with the Hitler Youth speech, but we gottem on the run....

“Progressives Decry Resignation of Van Jones”

I believe these people need a new label.

“Malcontents Decry Resignation of Van Jones.”

Sounds good to me.

There are no progressives. There are but utopian socialists.

If they succeed, Their bounty will be death.

The headline should have been: “Fellow Communists Decry Resignation of Van Jones.” Of course they did, they last a nut-job fellow radical in the corridors of power.
