Van Jones Resigns After Apparently Having Done Nothing Wrong
Posted on September 6, 2009
Personally, I had thought he would not resign as long as the left leaning media ignored the story about his 9/11 Trutherism, his racism, his communism, his Marxism, his America hatred, etc and so on (I left a comment at Nice Deb to that affect). Fortunately, I was wrong (as loboinok first covered here)
White House environmental adviser Van Jones resigned Saturday after weeks of controversy stemming from his past activism.
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me,” Jones, special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said in a statement announcing his resignation just after midnight Saturday. “They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.”
See? It’s your damned fault that his extremist past was exposed. Shame on you! Bad boys and girls! No biscuit!
He continued: “I have been inundated with calls — from across the political spectrum — urging me to ’stay and fight.’ But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.”
Can anyone point out what he has actually done as “Green Jobs” czar? Anyone? Bueller? Why is he fighting in the first place? Shouldn’t he be doing the job?
Jones issued two public apologies in recent days, one for signing a petition that questioned whether Bush administration officials “may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war” and the other for using a crude term to describe Republicans in a speech he gave before joining the administration.
Republicans have been forced to resign for much less, Sparky! But, as Nice Deb points out, we will surely be branded as racists for Van resigning.
Anyhow, you should feel ashamed of yourselves, neo-cons, for forcing out a guy who was just searching for the Truth and doing…something, not sure what…..in the Obama administration. /sarc off.
NBC entitles their story “Obama Aide Van Jones Resigns After GOP Attacks.” No real mention of anything other than his expletive laced rant against Republicans. Nothing about his Trutherism, his his Mumia support, etc. It’s just Republicans being mean. Humorously, when Republicans were “mean” while Bush was president, folks like Nancy Pelosi used to run over to the White House to sob about it. Now, whose shoulder do they whine on?
More: Shocker! Excitable Chucky decries what has become of “politcs in America.” In other words, he means you big meany Conservatives.
Evening update: Glenn Beck chimes in
The American people stood up and demanded answers. Instead of providing them, the Administration had Jones resign under cover of darkness. I continue to be amazed by the power of everyday Americans to initiate change in our government through honest questioning, and judging by the other radicals in the administration, I expect that questioning to continue for the foreseeable future.
In related news , World Net Daily is taking credit for “taking down the “red” czar.” Po-lease. You know who was huge? Glenn Beck and Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft. Add in all the bloggers on the right who covered this, all the people who commented, and Fox News. Not World Net Daily, which, quite frankly, has gone way out there in their Birth coverage.
Gateway Pundit is also on the story of MSMers whining about the “open sewer of Internet disinformation.
And, Excitable Chucky has become so unhinged that he banned someone (shocker!) for simply writing “Thank God for Glenn Beck.” See comment 113. Chucky’s response
re: #110 born conservative
And for that, you can just go support Glenn Beck somewhere else.

I wonder if he checked with Rosie whether or not fire will actually melt steel, before he signed the truther paper?
It is ver interested to see what makes mainline news. And extremely courious that the conservative right comments that incourage killing Liberals and a host of other incredibly inflamatory comments never see the light of day on the network news. Why is that? The comments Jones made are child’s play compared to the vicious and I Mean vicious – things said by the hosts of radio and TV shows that HATE the Liberals? First – I refuse to be in ANY category – Liberal or COnsrevative – I am creating a new category for lack of a slot – I am a LOGICALIST – are there any out that that qualify? Logic just seems to be a quality that doesn’t exist withing the rigid confines of Liberal and Konservative – we have been Koned for a long time.
He’s a communist by his own admission and it’s no big deal from Obama’s perspective! End of report.
By the way, who and what is this website? What did I just give my info to? Am I now on some hate list too?
AnD just what is the exact definition of Communism? Since we seem to be living in a Facist government now?
hey hey goodbye. don’t let the door hit you in the a**. I am sure him and P-Diddy or Oprah will have a tv show soon.
He should have resigned !! This guy clearly did not belong in that job or any other public job being paid with MY tax dollars. He is a racist and a communist !!!
We all know there is no way that Barack Obama could ever even qualify for a confidential security clearance in the US Government based on his background – however he can become president and have access to everything.
Van Jones couldn’t qualify to be a janitor in any US Government building – think about it. Black Panther, radical communist, no real job in his background except “professional racist”, “agitator” or “activist” (nothing that would indicate he could sling a mop and a good indication he’d try to blow up the building).
So in what deluded world would Van Jones be made a czar, answerable only to the president? Yeah, I know: In the ObamaNation.
He had the grace to resign, more than many Republicans have shown when they embarrassed their party and caused controversy. Personal opinion is dangerous territory for a politician. However, persons who can guide their entire speach production in terms of a possibe future rise in their political fortunes are undoubtedly psychopaths. Do you want psychopaths, or real humans in politics? Real humans are the complex and not always perfect people we elect in hopes they will do a decent job at the job. If you want an elected official to be “perfect” watch a television show. the comments above “sling a mop” and the like, indicate the real nature of your site.
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me,”
See, to me a “smear campaign” is when you make [expletive deleted] up. They didn’t have to make anything up to “smear” Van, so therefore it’s just telling the truth.
the(sic) comments above “sling a mop” and the like, indicate the real nature of your site.
Thank you, Lee.
Using your tortured logic, the addition of your comment now makes us a ‘balanced’ site.
Kat Francis – put the bong down and take a breath of air without the illegal weed.
Apparently you and Jones are at the same level when it comes to using the internet. Jones must not have ever heard of GOOGLE or other search engines. Kat, websites are not referred to as WHO.
Always and I repeat always,a communist never changes.He may lie dormat like larve do and then bingo one day he appears as a large beautiful monarch showing truly what it really is.Communism is a disease and hard to eradicate.It,s like snake you,ve got to cut it off at the head to destroy it.
Well= you guys are really scary – insulting – jump to conclusions about those with any opinion that is not your own – look for things to diminish anyone who presents a point of view that challenges you – and never meet that opinion with anything but dishing dirt – so mean-spirited – shows your nature and again – scary people out there – so I have not participated in things like this – and will not bother my spirit with it in the future – I have better things to do with my time and exposure – by the way, I have a PhD and don’t need weed to think!! What is frightening is how you all make things up in your head and then believe it. Have you ever asked yourself “Is this thought real?” – apparantly not. Bye forever – thank God!
I don’t need weed or a PhD(Post hole Digger)to think.Thinking causes a whole lot of problems.Common sense narrows the field.PhD wasn’t meant to be mean spirited,you probably earned it!Common sense comes naturally!
