"Green Job Czar" is a communist..

[SteamWake]

Not my words Van Jones the 'green job czar' for the administration is a self professed communist.

It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Of course it will be immediatly impuned because of the source but I call upon you to disprove the allegations.

[Tchocky]

What's there to disprove?

Beck is relying on the word "communist" to crowd out rational communication.
Judging by your post, it's worked.

There's the interview. Make your own mind up.

:rotfl: Learjet Libs crack me up.

Your right there is nothing to disprove because it is a factual acccount.

Glen Beck did not chose the word communist Van Jones did.

Mr. Jones may have 'denounced' his past but it is still his past and most of us are a product of their enviroment(s).

Just another piece of a very large puzzle but somehow all the shapes are similar.

From your link

Jones had planned to move to Washington, DC, and had already landed a job and an apartment there. But in jail, he said, "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.'" Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. "I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary." In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. "I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist."

Emphasis mine.

[Tchocky]

Wow, I meant the opposite.

As in, why try to disprove it. Beck is correct. But I disagree with the emphasis placed.

[SteamWake]

But while Jones continues to advance the ideas he developed along with the Apollo Alliance, the organization's cofounders Shellenberger and Nordhaus


:o There they are again

In any case, this should be the kind of thing that people come together on. Most mainstream conservatives and liberals seem to agree that communism and socialism are not the way to go. But instead, conservatives are outraged (rightly so) and most liberals are just willing to let it slide, or downplay it, because it's a Barack Obama thing.

I'd like to say it would work in reverse, even, but it does not. Conservatives seem far more likely to come out against their leaders (remember Harriet Miers?).

It's a sad commentary on affairs when we live in a state where so many people have blind loyalty to a leader rather than educated loyalty to an ideology.

I grew up in the Milwaukee area. Ms. Dorn went to my high school. Obama, Blago and their buddies were/are part of the Chicago political machine. That's about all I need to know when comes time to vote again.

No they just dont let it slide in fact it is there agenda I am convinced.

[SteamWake]

At the behest of the federal goverment strongly worded amonishment Jones is not a 'Czar' but rather a special advisor.

All the other stuff is true :rotfl:

Why frick are we using the term "Czar"? Is that an official term or is it a title bequeathed upon them?
