Making no secret of his disdain for Tea Party ideals and ideas, ex-White House adviser Van Jones on Monday nonetheless urged liberal activists to "steal" the Tea Party's playbook.
The former "green jobs" adviser, speaking at the top of a three-day conference in the nation's capital designed to galvanize liberal activists, spoke interchangeably in harsh and glowing terms about the Tea Party movement. He described their cause as "the worst" and "silly" and other unflattering adjectives. At the same time, he said progressives can learn from what the Tea Party has accomplished, as he tried to steer the crowd toward his own umbrella group which he's been working on since the summer.
Using the pick-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps tone President Obama has employed in recent days, Jones pointed to the Tea Party movement as an example of grassroots activism done right. He suggested liberals have relied too much on one person, Obama, to fix everything.

Progressives must steal.
They do not have the ability to create.
Jones can play pretend all he wants but true grassroots don’t need top down organization like his little marxist minions.
Wow!! Does this mean they are going to leave the venue they protest more pristine then it was when they came. I will not be holding my breath waiting to see that kind of respect.
Didn’t they already try this with “The Coffee Party?”
Those original devils...
We see the type of filth that Jones has in his army from the WI protests and this weekend rage events. There is no way that these losers have the capability to mimic the Tea Party. They are selling a message a majority of Americans don’t want to buy.
Let’s see... the Tea Party strategy.
Have real jobs
Clean up after ourselves
Organize peacefully
Be polite and curious to the law enforcement officers there
Preach freedom, liberty, and self-sufficiency
Nope, I don’t see them taking our strategy.
Joy to Thee and Me,
Confusion to Our Enemy
That's why the liberals won't go the way of the TEA Party.
10/2 Commie Rally
Beck 8/28 Rally
They already have one going on on Wall Street. The communists all have their own little groups that hate the US. They present themselves as slime and turn people off. They are trashy and most sound like little college robots fresh from Marxist 101.
Would not work for them.
IMHO, Van Jones is attempting to position himself as a future DemoRat candidate for President as a real Progressive/Soc/Communist leader. He might even challenge BOH in 2012 should BOH run for a second term and definitely be in the 2016 race for president. If BOH chooses not to run for a second term, Jones will be in the DemoRat primary fray.
What are your thoughts on thus supposition?

Jaun Williams just outed these Astroturfers by saying Obama and the ‘Rats are creating “a pitchfork brigade” to take on the Tea party. Comments on The Factor.(as if we didn’t know)
History certainly rhymes.
A TEA party scenario on the Left could only arise with less and less representation of their statist views in the government.
When Republicans make idealogical moves, they tend to get less conservative and more centrist. They move leftward.
The TEA party arose in large part because the Republican party strayed too far from the Conservative base. The folks in the TEA party (myself included) felt like we had no representation, hence the movement.
Democrats, on the other hand, are already on the Left and when they move idealogically they move leftward. They become more socialist, more communist, more statist.
In order for the same spontaneous “straying” scenario which left the Conservative base of the Republican party with less and less representation to arise on the Left, the Democrats movement would have to be toward the center.
A leftist TEA party scenario would arise if the Conservatives got hold of the government and started shrinking it massively (say, by 20% a year) and democrat politicians began agreeing with that method of governing.
Not that it stops these scum, but didn’t Van Jones go to prison? I would hope that this would be a speed bump for him.
I predict he will end up in jail after 2012, lets hope so!
Not too many white communist leaders out there that arent already in DC calling themselves democrats, and they represent a small minority of United Sates Counties.
The domestic communists only need to be named and eliminated by brave men to be neutralized as an effective political force.
