The more I read about this guy the less I like him. Clearly he wasn't vetted, and he's got too many extremist ties to be working at the position he's at in government.
So he wasn't vetted properly, and the Obama administration screwed up... Which was expected....everyone screws up at some point. Now how does this translate into braindead boneheads on Foxnews and the Republicans being right about foreign policy? Economic issues? Their energy plan for America? It doesn't. Van Jones is a screw up. At the same time it's a side issue to the fact that the Obama administration has done a good job preventing an economic depression, restored our national dignity around the globe, and put forth an alternative energy plan after 8 years of stagnation. Imagine if the Republicans were still in charge. George W. Bush's June 10th "Jesus Day" would be the new July 4th, Joe the Plumber would be Secretary of the Treasury, scientists would continue to have no voice in government, and Sarah Palin would be negotiating nuclear arms treaties with President Medvedev of Russia. |

 Van Jones does seem to fit in. HMmmm! Vetted?? "http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2009/09/obama-to-van-jones.html" {{VIDEO}} {SNIP} ""Even more stunning is the only days old admission by "the other half of Obama's Brain" Valerie Jarrett, that "we" have been watching Van Jones for some years and are "so happy to recruit him to the White house""" FROM "http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2009/09/obama-to-van-jones.html" |

LOL...we have representatives in the House and Senate that question whether or not the President of the United States is a US citizen and this guys opinion about 9/11 should disqualify him for a position on the Council on Environmental Quality? Who cares what he thinks about 9/11? It is his views on green technology and green jobs that are important.

"http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108900" "Van Jones: 'Resist' against policeAnti-cop mission drawn up by Black Panther group" {SNIP} "JERUSALEM – Van Jones, President Obama's controversial environmental adviser, signed a petition calling for nationwide "resistance" against police, accusing them of using the 9/11 attacks to carry out policies of torture. The petition was organized by the October 22nd Coalition, an anti-police organization whose mission statement was drawn up by leaders of the radical Black Panther Collective for Social Progress." {SNIP} "The statement accused the police of deliberately murdering civilians in cases that later were mostly ruled accidents." Don't Think A ""BEER SUMMIT" will cut it this time. AND...."WHO CARES"?? Many many People DO Care!! Including the Police! |

No doubt because he views the establishment of "green jobs" as a means of establishing social justice. As long as he remains he will be a liability unable to function. |

Then you've failed to watch his statements. He's a racist. By his own words. He has great disdain, if not straight hate for white people. Besides that he says he doesn't believe in the 9/11 conspiracy and never has. He just doesn't have a reason he signed his name to it. So the question is. Was he lying then when he signed it???? OR Is he lying now???? ( trying to save his job and career ) |

A Screen Shot From "http://www.breitbart.tv/" The point here, IMO, is that Jones insulted the children. AND the Police AND his 9/11 Truther AND ...Other things.{{Note The # of Comments about ...Only 'Surburban White Kids'.."

And you know this how or is this one of those "some say" situations that occur so frequently on the FAUX "news" network? Ignoring the ignorant is almost as fun as ridiculing the ridiculous. |

And those views would be? Waiting ... SW ... you said his views were important ... please enumerate the views you are referring to ... This message has been edited. Last edited by: I_M_Qwerty, |

Everything Van Jones has said is ON TAPE! As In His OWN WORDS! So his Views are by his own words and even actions are radical. The WH will just have to find someone else with a more "moderate" View. Meanwhile, Jones has over 30 Billion of our Tax dollars! |

And how many outright racists do you think we can find in Congress? (Jeff Sessions comes quickly to mind) How many homophobes? Where are your cries for THEM to resign? Or maybe both. Perhaps he believed it then and doesn't believe it now. Who cares what he believes about 9/11...Cheney still believes that Iraq was justified and 80% of the country believes a "higher power" guides them...which ones are delusional is subject to interpretation. Ignoring the ignorant is almost as fun as ridiculing the ridiculous. |

And you can google him just as readily as I can. Better yet, pick up a copy of his book "Green Collar Economy" at the library. I know you don't view the library as some socialistical plot. Ignoring the ignorant is almost as fun as ridiculing the ridiculous. |

This thread is serving a useful purpose: allowing some of our resident lefties to show exactly how radical they are.
Boots_ is at least rational enough to see that appointing a man with a past like Van Jones has to an influential position in a Presidential Administration is a mistake. With her responses, witchy has proven herself to be completely irrational, bitterly partisan and radical to her very core, but hey, that's nothing new.  We agree on virtually nothing else Boots_, but at least you can see what a mistake BO's appointment of Jones to this position is. |

OK ... have done part of that (ain't buying his book - sorry) ... and I think his views on green technology and green jobs are totally out to lunch. Don't know why you seem to think they were important. What he has to say isn't worth Obama keeping him around and further embarassing his administration. Rather a small man with small views ... IMHO. |

And I don't believe his views on green jobs and technology are out to lunch. I'm guessing all the people that bought the book and put him on the NY Times Bestseller list didn't think he was out to lunch either. I said get the book from the communist, socialist library, not go out and purchase it. Ignoring the ignorant is almost as fun as ridiculing the ridiculous. |

He doesn't make a point with which I agree. Absolute unsubstantiated garbage. I don't know why anyone bought his book either ... don't hear many trumpeting his cause. Maybe the GOP just wanted to find out why he called them a-holes ... and bought the ook hoping for enlightenment. |

 BOOTS!! Yep! THX! ((But DID they KNOW Van Jones??)) Otherwise, BOOTS, Great! They can't keep him, IMO, TOO much Information has been found on Jones.

For the sake of the USA! For the Prez! Video Tapes of Jones bashing on children....ETC. He's gotta go! ASAP! BTW..this is just the tip of the iceberg on Jones. Book or NO Book! |

Yep, Van's book is something else.

That's a joke, son. Member  |
Every administration has a few. I liked this one:
He was Bush's "Abstinence Czar". Too funny. |

Again you are twisting his words, to advance your cause. Read it again He said he does not now, and NEVER did believe in a 9/11 Conspiracy. NEVER means Never, not that he's changed his mind.  So he's got to be a LIAR either when he signed or now |
