Van Jones loved the spotlight. Heck, who wouldn't, after being named a special adviser and green jobs czar for President Barack Obama.
In Kansas City last week, Jones was one of the federal officials flown in to take a look at the Green Impact Zone, an idea to upgrade 150 blocks of low-income neighborhoods.
Jones was introduced twice by fellow, higher-ranking fed officials -- and on both occasions, Jones made sure to interject that he was a "special adviser" to Obama.
But now he's not part of the administration at all, thanks to imprudent remarks and a petition he signed years ago, a petition that implied the federal government allowed 9/11 to happen.
The statement that really got Jones in trouble with radio shock-jock Glenn Beck and other conservatives came in February, when he was at a green energy conference in Berkeley.

Wahhhh wahhhh wahhh wahhhh Van Jones did himself in.
Wow. Glenn Beck is a “shock jock.” What’s that make Rev. Jeremiah Wright? A “blaster pastor?”
Wow, I just thought that average Americans didn’t like communists.
“Don’t get too uppity”?
How about love your country?
How about do not hate white folk?
How about Marxism is not a good thing?
Stupid is everywhere.
A screacher preacher?
radio shock-jock Glenn Beck
... before I realized this writer is full of it.
how much did this cost us the little people to have green jobs people flying around in jets?
The level of self-deception among these people is remarkable.
For a Dem, everything is race. It doesn’t occur to them that anyone could disagree with them philosophically.
The Democratic Party is the party of the race obsessed. They can’t see anything past race, and they assume everyone else is like they are.
For us its the opposite. Philosophy is everything. Character is everything. A guy who could heap contempt on our country they way Jones habitually does (”years ago” says the writer... really?) a guy who talks about America the way this guy does would be driven from the party in shame. Among Democrats he is celebrated. If you don’t like him it has to be race, what else could it be?
It took a couple days for the racialists to notice Jones’ skin tone; I’m kinda surprised it took them so long. But now that they’ve noticed they’re not letting it go.
Good one!
How about, don’t ever say what you actually believe, fool. Didn’t BHO teach you nothing?
Perhaps you've forgotten that America voted in a black president. It's time to burn your laughable race card, you lefty jackass.

“Green Impact Zone” = inner city. This whole green jobs thing is camouflaged welfare.
Exactly!
The magic negro PimP slapped him.. ugh huh...
