“Still, I find it very disturbing that real progressive people with a track record of lots of speeches and actions will find it difficult to speak out,” Paterson said. “That's going to have a chilling effect on anyone like that who may some day want to serve in public office.”

How could Van Jones ever be swift-boated?? Thats an outrageous assertion! The Idiot doesn’t know the difference between a Bow and a Stern, or what difference is between the Helm and the Head!!

Since when is telling the truth “swiftboating?”

Oh, yeah ... that’s right, that’s the word liberals use for the truth - about their politicians and friends.

But they consider their own words as inappropriate, and playing dirty politics.

Either he said/did those things, signed the 9/11 Truther stuff or she thinks all that stuff is OK. I suspect the latter.

Yes. His own words and follies were exposed and that was the end of him.

Definitely swiftboated. Good.

Yeah, his own words on videos were shown to the public. It’s like shining a light on cockroaches.

It could happen to you, Medea, but no one cares about lunatics in pink slips. We do care about someone who makes policy that we are required to live under.

Actually, Van was "Titanic-ed", having encountered a Beckberg.

When its gets funny is when the Dems start to turn on each other and blame each other. Nobody forced Van Jones to say anything, to sign anything, to do anything. He did it all on his own. All Glenn Beck and the others did was expose Van Jones’ words, actions and thought processes for public review and judgment. That is the basis of what they are whining about: He got caught and outed.

He was “swift-boated”.

In other words, the MSM was giving him cover by not exposing any of his deeds, and it was left up to alternative media to break the stories nationwide and get the truth out. Once the truth was out, MSM had to cover it, the WH realized they could not defend him, and threw him under the bus where Wright and Grandma were dumped.

And if anyone dumped him, it was Obama and the White House. We couldn’t fire him if we wanted to. We could put pressure on the WH to, but we force anything to occur. They just don’t want to defend the indefensible and engage in a ultimately futile effort.

He sure was. The truth about him was made public.

Darn right. We cannot let the left make 'swift-boating' into a derogatory term.

LOL, exactly! She thinks we’re tough on Commies now, she should have been around in the 1950’s! America LOVES freedom and capitalism, and these Commie punks have got to be identified and sent packing!
