Van Jones Resigns

After several weeks of public revelations about his background, Van Jones has resigned from his position as so-called “green czar” in the Obama Administration.

The self-described “Black Nationalist” and “Communist” was first exposed for his Marxist connections and background by talk show host Glenn Beck. A boycott of Beck’s program by a leftist group associated with Jones failed to get Beck removed from the airwaves and only stirred grassroots conservatives into action.

Conservatives began culling old speeches Jones had given over the years, and posting excerpts on social networking sites such as YouTube. Among the discoveries were Jones calling former US President George W. Bush a “crackhead,” Republicans “*ssholes,” and claiming that “White Polluters” were steering poison into minority neighborhoods. Jones later apologized for calling Republicans “*ssholes.”

Although a self-described “Black Nationalist,” Jones is married to a White woman, employment lawyer and Berkley grad Jane Michelle Carter. The couple have two children. In a sop to “keeping it real,” Jones name his oldest son after after Marxist and Black Nationalist revolutionary Amílcar Lopes Cabral, who led African nationalist movements in Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands, and led Guinea-Bissau’s independence movement.

“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 said in a statement tendering his resignation.

    Hey Van…

    Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.

  2. The NIM Truth says

    So Van Jones called Republicans "assholes". He happens to be right! Frank & John are prime examples of that. Although I'm sure Frank is not really a Republican, he just pretends to be one because he can't afford to do his own studio.

    Reality bites, Frankie boy.

    So this guy will now work in the administration just like bill ayres does, underground.

    I, too believe he’ll still be there, but under the radar, doing his work, but we just won’t know about it until it’s done.

    That said, I’m not sure exactly how much he differs from all the other people Obama has surrounded himself with . It’s hard to believe any of them, including his Cabinet, could obtain a security clearance. But I suppose if Leaky Leahy, Dick Durbin, Barney Frank, and the host of other leeches in DC can get one, anyone can.

    I want my America back!

    Hussein Obama sure knows how to surround himself with like-minded anarchists, racists, and America-hating scumbags.

    Hopenchange = Our new national nightmare!

    republicans can be A**holes,too many examples to mention .black nationalist huh? it’s worse than that with this guy. Looks more like miscegenation race mixing nationalist.one commie down I don’t know how many more to go.

  8. Lou says

    So, Kathy, you want back the America that started bogus wars, broke treaties, tortured, et al. and earned the contempt of the world? In 8 years the US went from a proud, prosperous nation to one willing to cower in fear, sell out its honor, and imagine all kinds of boogie men no matter how absurd Cheney’s drivel. How very sad you are!

  9. patagonianproud says

    typical “black nationalist” married to a coalburner and naming his kid after an apefreakin commie. i bet the guy couldnt find the cape verde islands or guinea-bissau on a map if his life depended on it….

  10. Fear The Voices says

    Thankfully, he’s gone. So what hack communist is going to take his place?

    Leftist, hate-filled “organizers” are a dime a dozen — kind of like terrorist leadership. The job has got to be to keeping up on investigating these people and their past. Just because one nut job is gone, there’s more in DC and always another nut to have fallen off the ACORN tree somewhere.
    I do find it amusing how I have said repeatedly that Osama’s relations mattered, but everyone dismissed me and others…. Looks like his circle of friends is more than revealing of his agenda; they’re part of the take over.

  11. Phil says

    I guess that means we're still going to need to keep an eye on this a-hole.

  12. Susan says

    I honestly don’t think he meant anything when he talked about white kids shooting up others. It might be a cultural thing that he was getting at, i.e. white kids don’t seek help.He is correct about whites polluting black neighborhood. However, that is more a socioeconomic problem. It is more likely for incinerators and landfills to be put in poor white rural areas too so it’s not all race. I don’t like his view on Israel and think that the muslim world will not think any more of us with those views. Israel needs our help and any Christian should understand

  13. Working for Peace says

    What a shocking display of hatred and racism. While there may be many good-hearted Americans that we don’t hear about, you people are only re-inforcing the world’s image of Americans as selfish, ignorant and bigoted.
    It really is nauseating to read your viscious words.
