  2. Is Robert Gates an extremist?
    What about Hillary Clinton?
    Biden?
    Jim Jones?
    Geithner?
    Bernake?

    STFU! There are bigger differences between a genuine cabinet member and Van Jones. Van Jones does NOT sit on the cabinet. Van Jones reports to Nancy Sutley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Council_on_Environmental_Quality) and she reports to Rahm emanuel.

  3. We have a winner for the idiotic post of the day.

    WHY WOULD OBAMA GIVE A COMMUNIST A JOB ON THE GOVERNMENT'S PAYROLL JUST FOR A FAVOR?

    Liberal logic at work once again. Actually now that I think about it, it does sort of make sense. Obama has moved terrorists to Bermuda and given them beachside bungalows, all on the taxpayers dime. Why wouldn't he give a fellow comrade in the struggle against racist, rich white capitalist a job on taxpayers money? It still leaves one question unanswered. Why hasn't the most transparent government(i.e. the government lead by Obama, at least thats what he told us.) in the history of the world, come out and told this was the deal?

    BO is learning that being President is no fun. You actually have to make decisions and people are going to judge you on those decisions. Its not like being in the state or US Senate when you can just vote present when you don't want people to know what you think on an issue. Who would have though that having a communist advisor who reports to no one, except the President of the United States who have caused such a problem?

  4. I mean you never heard of people having friendships and relationships despite political beliefs? Do you honestly believe that association with certain people makes your political beliefs the same as theirs? You are a moron if you do.

  5. Exactly he does not sit on Cabinet. He is actually more powerful than a Cabinet member. Van Jones has zero Congressional oversight.

  6. You are such a moron. He reports to a person unanimously confirmed by the US senate. Nancy Sutley. Shut the fuck up.

  7. When you have relationships with as many radicals as Obama does, yes it is apparent he shares those views. We only have to take him at his word.

    Doesn't sound like this guy is too much into that pesky US Constitution.

  8. Why did the President of the United States hire a self proclaimed communist? Its a simple question.

  9. 2001 interview, that is deep. What was the interview? Who was taking it? What was the agenda? Maybe Barack Obama wanted to be like Jesse Jackson at that time? Maybe he was speaking to a black audience.

    Republicans are What?!
    Lauri Regan

    According to Obama’s Green Job’s Czar, Van Jones, Republicans “are a**holes.” And guess what? “Barack Obama is not an asshole.”

    So there you have it in a nutshell. Barack Obama, the non-asshole wearing the white hat, is struggling in his attempt to force his socialist agenda down the throats of unwilling Americans and it’s those asshole Republicans wearing the black hats that are to blame. As I stated in a recent AT article, Americans have been called mobsters, racists, partisan, stupid, un-American, and mean, just to name of few of the accusations pouring out of this administration. And now we are assholes because we do not like the direction in which Obama is hell bent on taking the country, popular opinion be damned.

    One would think that it would have been obvious that Obama’s campaign promise to end the partisanship would be thrown under the bus when he announced that he won so it would be his way or the highway. However, we Americans who cling to guns and religion are smarter than he expected and with each passing day of bullying and threatening, his poll numbers drop. Let’s hope and pray that these morons keep up the name calling – they’ll continue to alienate the electorate and find themselves back under the real holes from which they crawled. And they’ll be clueless as to how they lost their grip on power – that’s the nature of a bully and a person that only knows how to call people names. Perhaps we Republicans should remind them of that catchy little playground retort:

    George Joyce adds:

    At an energy lecture at Cal Berkeley back in February, Van Jones, who is Barack Obama’s senior “green jobs” advisor, responded to an audience member’s question by calling Republicans “Assholes.”

    In a recently posted YouTube video currently circulating on the internet Jones tries to answer a young woman’s concern about congressional Republican intransigence on Obama’s legislative agenda by saying:

    “Well, the answer to that is, they're assholes. That's a technical, political science term.”

    As the crowd burst into laughter Jones followed up by saying:

    “Now, I will say this. I can be an asshole, and some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity.”

    Let’s see. Nancy Pelosi called town hall protesters “Nazis” and Harry Reid labeled anti-Obama demonstrators “evil.” Now Jones finds the word “assholes” even more fitting for conservatives – technical in fact.

    I wouldn’t expect “Evil Nazi Assholes” to score very high on a liberal intellectual’s “quality of life index.” This makes me doubly nervous about just what the word “uppity” means. As far as those purported quality of life panels go in other words, maybe Republicans, not just the elderly, should be a little concerned.
