PATENT BULL$HIT
Each of your points is valid; apparently the author doesn't know what a 'smear campaign' is. So, for the benefit of educating a simpleton, I'll inform him.
Mr. Eboo Patel, a smear campaign is making false statements designed to impune the dignity or honesty of a person. Examples are "Bush Died and people died", or "Blood for Oil" or "Bush is Hitler". There is no evidence of truth in any of these statements, they are designed to impune a person and do damage to them. That is a smear campaign, pretty simple, huh? One would think a credable journalist would learn this in his freshman year, wouldn't you? I mean, I'm not even a journalist and I know that.
Now let's move on. Quoting a person who says some very 'un-American' statements is called "Investigative Reporting". This is something you probably learned in your Senior year; but you were probably too drunk to remember. You see, as a journalist, your job is to discover, dig and publish facts. Some facts you may take a personal joy in sharing, others you may wish you didn't know - but your job is to spread the news, to tell the truth; not push your personal politics. That is the difference between news and propaganda - but I guess you missed that class too.
I hope you can drive a taxi better than you can research and write an article - I think you will need the taxi skills.

but I doubt he has the smarts to comprehend it.
I Jones is a patriot, then I’m one of the Twelve Apostles!
“Brilliant mind??!! AA Yale Law grad who has never passed the bar exam.
Do these asshats really think the public wasn’t wise to this slimeball?
Remember what Al pacino said about “patels” in Glengarry Glenross?
A Cuban patriot maybe
I want to know what a “green job” is and how many have been created (and where) since he came on the scene. Who on earth thinks up these idiotic terms and then does nothing to explain them? Oh! sure - to help the environment. HOW? Think I’ll write and ask the White House. They ought to be able to provide a plausible answer. Or perhaps the author of this article could?
When Lou Piniella trots onto the field, a chorus of voices calling out his first name would lead the television announcers to explain that the fans are not booing, they are just “Lou-ing.” Similarly, Mike Mussina’s career on the diamond caused many of his fans to yell out his nickname, “Moose,” which, when shouted by 50,000 fans, in imperfect unison, often sounded like boos.
For the author of this article, there is no such confusion. When he walks into a room, they are not calling out his first name to honor him. They are actually booing.
He’s right up there with those other “experimental visionaries,” Uncle Joe Stalin, Chairman Mao Tse Tung and, of course, Pol Pot. He’s at least as racist as Che. They’ll be selling T shirts with his picture.
Hey,Boo,Boo, go blank yourself!
Pure Poo Poo Patel ..............ya friggin presstitutional parrot !
Back off that lip lock on the socialist ass, come up for air and think for yourself for once instead of being the rats talking sock monkey spewing verbage talking points.....same text is printed all over the obama media outlets.
If ya can’t muster an original thought get a job doing something yer good at........ball washer at the bowling alley or golf course etc .
Maybe Patel meant that Van Jones was a patriotic citizen of the world, determined to use environmentalism to weaken the USA and bring her down to the level of other nations. Jones is probably a watermelon, in the modern sense, of course.
If Van Jones is a patriot, then so was Timothy McVeigh. That’s how f’ed up this article is.
I honestly thought this was satire.
Mr. Patel’s label of Mr. Jones is insulting to those who have proven themselves worthy of such a title. Mr. Jones has publicly / repeatedly preached racial division, exploitation of others, and a communist form of government. Mr. Patel has a very odd ideal of a patriot...
This guy knows more about Green Jobs and has created more Green Jobs than Van Jones.
Was Van Jones done in by his own words, deeds, and actions, or was he the subject of “a smear campaign”.
let me help you....
van jones was the subject of a smear campaign and done in using his own words, deeds and actions against him.....
Yes, all the true patriots declare themselves as fighting against the U.S.
One has to wonder how Jones’ friends think they can get away with this BS. Probably because outlets like the Washington Post let them. Patel needs to stop lying.
“Do these asshats really think the public wasn’t wise to this slimeball?”
They think the public will believe whatever BS they say. That’s how much respect they have for the public.
The degree of leftist outrage is directly proportional to how close you are to the truth about them.
