Why go after Van Jones?
Just because he's black, of course!!! After all, Van Jones is just some non-entity that nobody had ever heard of...
Of course. He's just some nobody without any power (which is the way I've always viewed people who work in, uh, the White House) but on the other hand...
It's as pointless as ever to ask this question when someone like Jones (or his now-former boss, for that matter) is confronted with his past statements and/or associations, but, well, what "lies" are you talking about?

"It struck me, why go after this guy? He is a minor player, he has no power, no budget, why take him? It's because he looks like Obama and he has all those same attributes of being well-educated and he’s an electrifying speaker with an elite education," said John Anner, a good friend of Jones and former chair of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, an organization Jones founded in Oakland.
Of course. He's just some nobody without any power (which is the way I've always viewed people who work in, uh, the White House) but on the other hand...
Mr. Jones was on Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world before he entered the White House. He was a bestselling author before he entered the White House.That's a quote from "An aide to NAACP President Ben Jealous," who also claims that Jones quit "so that the nation's reform agenda will not be sidetracked by those who spin lies for profit."

Last I heard, the commietard had a $30 billion budget. Did I misinterpret the propaganda or what? And really, what's several tens of billions of dollars among fellow travelers?

How about this ... any time someone claims racism, they lose a finger. I mean if it was really important then it would be worth a finger right ? This has the added feature of being able to easily spot the folks that cry racism entirely too much.

This just confirms that it doesn't matter what the message coming out of someone's mouth is if the message bearer assuages their white guilt. I'm wondering at what point the African American community is able to see that their personal value lies beneath the color of their skin and demand that their words actually be listened to.

Good stuff here...

"Some of the punditocracy — Juan Williams, for example – are peeved we are spending any time on this. And true enough, if the White House had a near perfect vetting record, or if the president did not have a reputation for hanging out with the likes of Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright, whose worldview bears an uncanny resemblance to that of Jones, this might be a nonstory."

Ironic that the MSM and Obama (BIRM) vetted Sarah Palin's uterus and Joe The Plumber more thoroughly than Van Jones, and yet we are the bad guys for doing so.

Using someone's own video and recorded conversations to show what a radical commie nutjob they are is obviously an evil TRICK!
