“At this point in this struggle, it’s the so-called patriots who are the ones who are smashing down every American institution….It’s the so-called patriots, the ones who come out here with their Tea Party and the flags and call themselves patriots — they’re the ones that are smashing down our unions, smashing down public education, smashing down every American institution that we built, and our parents built, and our grandparents built to make this country great.”

Jones added that the Tea Party is trying to “take a wrecking ball — and paint it red, white, and blue — and smash down all the things our parents did for us.”

He called for higher taxes on the wealthy to fund state programs, saying that it is “absurd” to believe that the United States or Wisconsin has a fiscal crisis. “You’ve got some rich folks in Wisconsin so rich, the Pharaohs are goin’, ‘Damn! Y’all came up!’” Jones said.

The kooks are everywhere.

Smashing down our extortion unions and child indoctrination centers.

Other than public sector unions just what American institutions does this communist (self-admitted) believe in?

[the invisib1e hand]

Exactly. Only the institutions that need smashing, mr. vanJones.

Look out Van, here we come!

It’s the so-called patriots, the ones who come out here with their Tea Party and the flags and call themselves patriots — they’re the ones that are smashing down our unions, smashing down public education, smashing down every American institution that we built

Yes, smashing down every anti-American institution that you leftists built.

Institutions didn't make America great. Americans made America great. Hard working, honorable, responsible Americans who not only worked hard, saved for the future, but fought our wars when necessary, to insure we remained a free people. This a$$ hat wants to tear all that down and replace it with socialism. Well, he can go to Hell.

[uncbob]

As usual left wingers accuse others of exactly what they do

[Old Sarge]

Typical Leftist projection, the Alinsky tactic of accusing your opponent of what you yourself do.

“Tearing down American institutions”? Like churches? Youth organizations? The military? The nuclear family? The integrity of the vote? The Constitution itself?

[doyle]

Van Jones would not recognize a real American Institution even if one bit him in the hoodie.

[certrtwngnut]

Van Jones belongs in an American institution - one with a rubber room for him.

Is this another Onion article?

Isn't that what Communist clowns do...

[RoosterRedux]

Jones knows full well that the institutions of socialism and affirmative action have failed and are under attack, so he is trying to conflate them with all other American institutions in hopes that the institutions of retribution and redistribution can hang on a little while longer.

Socialist are either afraid or just plain stupid (or both).

"Take a good look at Europe and California, Van...socialism is dying."

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Obama Bro Jones' rhetoric.. the Tea Party advocates are "so-called patriots." They are "smashing down" American institutions.

It's called logomachy.. lo-gom-a-chy; or Obamachy. Misusing words and a dispute about words. Pothead Barry does it virtually on everything. He merits his own word.

I noticed he didn’t get any applause or cheers for his remarks..............
