Van Jones Resigns
Late Saturday Obama's green jobs Czar Van Jones stepped down.Jones said, "On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide".
Jones once called himself a communist and was founder or involved in many radical groups such as Color of Change, a group going up against Glenn Beck. Jones recently called Republicans A**holes at a public conference and called George Bush a "crackhead".
Many question however, "With his radical views how did Van Jones get the job in the first place?"
What are you thoughts?

You are exactly right. B.O. showed us who he really was before the election with his past associations like Rev. Wright & Bill Ayers. Now he's continuing to show us who he really is by appointing many other radicals in high power positions. This scares the he_ _ out of me!

The Pres knew exactly who Van Jones was before he ever made him a CZAR. He appointed him because he fits in with the White House radical agenda. This time he didn't get away with it. Let's see . . . one down and 36 more Czars to go??

Hi Earl: I have been following Glenn's discussion about all the czars that Obama has placed in his administration and American's need to ask the question - did the President know of his radical views and his admission to being a self-avowed communist? If so, then we have to question the president's integrity and his transparency. If he didn't know, again we need to question who he has surrounded himself with that would allow this guy to be a trusted czar advisor and have the president's ear, to be in charge of a tremendous amount of cash for the green jobs project, while at the same time undermining America!! By the way, how many green jobs are there with the stimulus money that has been given to Van Jones' office. Or has that gone into his pockets?
And isn't it quite strange that we haven't see a lot in the papers or on any of the major networks (other than Fox) about these CZAR's and their radical views? The media only wants us to know what THEY want us to know and as they try to shape American minds. Thank goodness for Fox and conservative radio & blogs!!! Of course the FCC czar is trying to change that as we speak.
We need our elected officials to get off their fat-A's and find out what is going on with these czar appointments who are usurping congress' power. We need to get rid of the czars and get back to taking care of increasing American jobs, banks lending money for stimulating small business growth, and energy growth.

"How did he get the job in the first place?"
Real simple, for the "minds" in DC he is not a radical, and progressives see his views as "mainstream".
The video that Beck had showing one of Obama's cheif adviser discussing that "they had been watching him since he was in Oakland" says it all.

I think Obama picks these nutty people because not only does he believe a good percentage of what they believe but also for loyalty. If he picks reasonable moderate people, he knows they may turn on him when they see how far left his true objectives are. People like Van Jones will never betray Barrack. They are too devoted to the cause. He is communist for crying out loud! That is why he stepped down without a fight. It is about loyalty.

I think you've got a good point Tremayne, but if they, by their own admission have been "watching him," then they've already got a lot invested in him and will use him in a different capacity, out of the spotlight. As I said earlier, he may have stepped down, but he is not gone.

He is not gone; as James says he will simply go underground to continue his work. He may not surface with ACORN, SEIU, or any of their known organizations, but you know he won't quit.
Just as Obama has been groomed for his position as figurehead, so have been the other players in this evil game -- many of whom we don't know yet and some whom we'll never know.

This is appalling; the people who have been chosen as special advisers to the president. I think they show the extreme views of our admin. It's great that Jones is out of the position but the fact that he was there in the first place is still disturbing! And, like someone else mentioned; Jones will probably just take his views and channel them in another way.

I think the Obama Administration decided he was carrying too much baggage. But then I think about all of the others that have a lot of baggage and they also need to resign.
