Responding to a firestorm that raged on conservative talk shows and websites, the White House on Sunday announced the resignation of a top environmental advisor who had made fiery remarks about Republicans and signed a petition questioning whether the U.S. government had any role in planning the Sept. 11 attacks.
Van Jones, a prominent Oakland community activist, issued a statement decrying "lies and distortions" and a "smear campaign" that had been waged against him by the right.
But despite his defiance, Jones had been forced to apologize in recent days for some of his past statements, including a speech shortly before his appointment posted on YouTube, in which he used a vulgar term to describe Republicans.
White House officials never rose to his defense and took pains over the weekend to distance themselves from Jones' statements and decisions about his status.
President Obama's senior advisor David Axelrod said Sunday that Jones made his own decision to leave, but he commended him for the departure.
"The bottom line is that he showed his commitment to the cause of creating green jobs in this country by removing himself as an issue," Axelrod told NBC's "Meet the Press."

What lies?...
What distortions?
Lies and distortions coming right out of his commie racist mouth! Next we’re going to here he had to resign because he’s black! All roads lead to color, dont cha know!
“What lies?...
What distortions?”
If I’ve seen that Communist’s statement in one article I’ve seen it in fifty, but so far not one “reporter” has seen fit to ask those basic questions.
Jones likens Bush to a 'crackhead' in latest video gaffe
Now that is a little distortion...
Lies and distortions?
No. Words from his own mouth captured on film/audio tape. His own signature attached to a false, inflammatory statement.
How can Van Jones’ direct quotes be “lies and distortions” about what he said?
For the Lefties,...it’s the headline that counts....facts don’t really matter.
Supporters of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a death row inmate convicted for the 1981 shooting death of a Philadelphia police officer, said the protest was called after the Supreme Court on Monday rejected claims that Abu-Jamal, a former radio journalist and Black Panther, did not receive a fair trial.
``We knew there was another event going on, but the timing of the court decision is what dictated when the protest was held,’’ said Van Jones, a San Francisco civil rights lawyer who helped coordinate the protest march.

Thanks for adding that little fact regarding Jones.
What dictatorship hasn't used that line?
He showed his commitment for the cause by removing himself.
These Marxists are so predictable.
VAN JONES CUT A CD...
The CD starred Van Jones and cop killer Mumia abu-Jamal.
Jones used his Ella Baker Center for Human Rights to found Freedom Fighter Music, the label WarTimes appeared on. WarTimes is also the name of an anti-war-on-al-Qaeda propaganda newspaper Jones helped organize. The album featured cop killer Mumia abu-Jamal.
Here are a few of the lines from hate-filled anti-white, anti-American, anti-Israeli recording by Van Jones and the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights:
" The American way, manufactured by these white folks in office. By these rich men here to mock us. The United States is a stolen land led by right-wing, war hungry, oil thirsty. And when it's all said and done they still can't clean their own place because they got people of color playing servant to do that sh*t for them... The true terrorists are made in the US, in this police state... The US is a crack-fiend for oil. And they're ready to rape, kill, assault, rob anybody and everybody...
Bombing babies in the night. Two wrongs don't make a right... The US needs to exit its colonies in Iraq, in the region and finally in Israel.
Van Jones: At this point. The end of the occupation. The right of return of the Palestinian people. These are critical dividing lines in human rights. We have to be here. No American would put up with an Israeli-style occupation of their hometown for 53 days let alone 54 years. US tax dollars are funding violence against people of color inside the US borders and outside the US borders."

Remember ole van saying that black kids don’t mass murder like WHITE kids? What about that kid that was SNIPING innocent people out of the trunk of a car? Whats vans take on that?
If I remeber correctly that kid liked to draw and had some nice sketchs....
In today's "mainstream" Democrat newsrooms, there's no such thing anymore as a "reporter" or a "journalist". There's nothing but political hacks, doing whatever they have to do to prop up the scumbag they worked so hard to get elected. Certainly, they have no interest in asking basic, obvious questions like, "What lies?" and, "What distortions?".
The Democrat newsrooms prefer to leave Van Jones' accusations of "lies and distortions" and a "smear campaign" dangling out there in order to give their clueless audiences a soundbite they can do with whatever they please. Democrats will nod, and Republicans will roll their eyes, but that's better than everybody hearing the truth and the facts about this sick animal Van Jones.
