Will Van Jones Get The Ax? – Update: Van Jones Resigns

Update: Van Jones resigns, says AP News.

My money is on NO. I don’t think Barack Obama will do jack about his controversial Green Czar Van Jones, despite the fact that Van is a self-described communist, a racist, AND a “9-11 Truther.”

Van says he doesn’t agree with the Truther petition he signed in 2004. Why did he sign it then? (He’s #46 on the signer list.) Did fellow signers Janeane Garafalo and Ed Asner put the squeeze on him? Or, was the accusation that 9-11 was an “inside job” too irresistible for someone whose hatred for Bush knew no bounds? Don’t YOU read a petition before you sign your name to it?!

Barack Obama is a huge narcissist, and certainly has no qualms about surrounding himself with radicals. Van’s dream of a “green economy” which serves as an alternative to prison for inner-city criminals has been a goal of his for years. In a 2005 interview with San Francisco’s East Bay Express, Van disclosed:

“I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of. Jones told the newspaper he stayed in San Francisco, and for the next 10 years worked with a lot of the people he met in jail. Months after the Rodney King verdict came down, Jones said, “I became a communist.”

Vetting mistake? Please. A simple Google search turns up plenty of controversial Van videos and assertions. I don’t buy any claim by Obama that he didn’t know about Van’s radicalism…I think it’s why he got the job.

Will Van Jones get canned? I’ll be happy if I’m wrong, but I think Obama will dare us to do something about any of his Czars. Van will likely remain in the West Wing because he’s apologized for some of his egregious actions. Here, however, is a good compilation of Van Jones in his own words. Read them, watch the videos, and decide what you think about Van yourself. Then… make some noise, America.
