White House Green Jobs Adviser: Republicans Are 'Assholes'

the bolded part, is true....

chemical companies aren't going to even exist in rich communities, much less dump their wastes into the waterways....
It was in the news quite often, on 20/20, prime time, etc.

In the 70's in particular, when the anti-nukes were in full bloom, it was funny that the environmentalists were protesting nuclear power while chemical companies from LA to NJ were dumping poison into streams and we had plenty of cancer clusters to show for it.

I wish they had family data as well, but I don't think that's collected by the military.

The only main explanation I can really come up with is that to a large degree, the military weeds out those with criminal histories and those without high school degrees. That could be enough to skew it that way.

I prefer to think that, at least in the case of the middle class, the kids have been taught to be self reliant and therefore don't want to burden their families with a college education. Certainly wasn't the case in my family but then I'm a generous guy. ;)
 
I just heard Mark Stein (filling in for Rush) say that he heard that Van Czar is a 9/11 comspiracy believer. I just watched an updated National Geo special on 9/11 and they conclusively proved that the towers could and did fall because of heated weakened steel and horrendous weight collapsing on itself. Guess Van Jones prefers the pseudoscience of "global warming" (or climate change if you're trying to ignore that decade plus cooling trend) to real science if it doesn't support his hypotheses.​

Oh I understand. If you think somethings wrong, say its wrong. If you think Cheney doing that was wrong say it. If you think this guy doing it is wrong, say it.

My issue is when people have it pointed out to them "Hey, the crazies on your side did this too" and they respond back "Gah! Can't we stop talking about the PAST. Two Wrongs don't make a right. Stop deflecting and defending and focus on apologizing for your side"........and then when the tables are turned immedietely start going "Hey, the crazies on your side did this too".

That's not actual objection to bad behavior, its pitiful pathetic playing of partisan politics. (yay for aliteration)

Here, pop right on over to here for example and say that again. It tiring having constant threads about how some one does something outrageous and it's supposed to make a political point.

9/11 was a conspiracy, I heard from a good friend (who is a cop) say that he heard that it was.

Got anything on that 2 year prison stint yet??

What I find really spooky about Obama picking Van, is the guy is a total idiot... I mean really. He waits until most of the Communist counties give it up as unworkable, and adopts communism as his political philosophy in the 90's!

How stupid is that?

If he was 17 that would make sense, but a midlife crisis leading to Communism?
 
I think the real question we should be asking is how the hell an Appointed Advisor can get away with promoting Racist Propaganda that is Irellivant to the job he was appointed to do.
 
Who cares if this guy called Republican a dirty name?

What we really need to be talking about, are the other facts about this man, such as:

1. He is a communist.
2. He believes white people have been poisoning black people.
3. He believes white people have been spraying poison on migrant workers.
4. He led the fight to free a convicted cop killer.
5. He believes in total wealth redistribution.
6. He's a 9/11 truther that believes that our government allowed the attacks of 9/11.
7. He believes in the total transformation of America's agricultural system.

These are the things that we should be talking about, not the fact that he's a another classless liberal... Those are a dime a dozen.

Van Jones is a truffer. The Libbos should hate his guts and demand his removal now. Right?

NEW YORK CITY, NY (Oct. 26, 2004) – An alliance of 100 prominent Americans and 40 family members of those killed on 9/11 today announced the release of the 911 Truth Statement, a call for immediate inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur. The Statement supports an August 31st Zogby poll that found nearly 50% of New Yorkers believe the government had foreknowledge and "consciously failed to act," with 66% wanting a new 9/11 investigation.

I think he'll get fired for being a truther. That's just not acceptable for his position.

He shoulda never been appointed. It's not like his opinion is some kind of secret.
 
He doesn't sound like a communist any more.

In the book, Jones contended that invention and investment will take us out of a pollution-based grey economy and into a healthy new green economy.[28] Jones wrote:

[W]e are entering an era during which our very survival will demand invention and innovation on a scale never before seen in the history of human civilization. Only the business community has the requisite skills, experience, and capital to meet that need. On that score, neither government nor the nonprofit and voluntary sectors can compete, not even remotely.

So in the end, our success and survival as a species are largely and directly tied to the new eco-entrepreneurs — and the success and survival of their enterprises. Since almost all of the needed eco-technologies are likely to come from the private sector, civic leaders and voters should do all that can be done to help green business leaders succeed. That means, in large part, electing leaders who will pass bills to aid them. We cannot realistically proceed without a strong alliance between the best of the business world —and everyone else.

Notice how all the liberals pounced on this - and me - from all directions when I first posted it, and now.......crickets.

But being a communist, accusing white people of poisoning blacks and immigrants, and lobbying for a cop killer to be released is A-OK with Obama.

Guess I misheard what was reported. :3oops: Ear damage from the 5"/38. Did find this though on Beck's website:

Green Jobs Czar - Van Jones
Title: Special Adviser for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality
Salary: unknown
Reports to: Head of Council on Environmental Quality Nancy Sutley
Appointed: March 2009
Agency or department that might have handled similar issues: Environmental Protection Agency; Labor
• Will focus on environmentally-friendly employment within the administration and boost support for the idea nationwide
• Rose from near obscurity in the Oakland, Calif., grassroots organizing scene to the leader of a national movement to spur the green economy.
• Founded Green For All, an organization focused on creating green jobs in impoverished areas
• Also co-founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and Color of Change, which includes Bay Area PoliceWatch, a group devoted to "protect[ing] the community from police misconduct"
• Published New York Times best-seller The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems, in October 2008
• Started career as a prison-reform advocate in Oakland, Calif., lobbying for reform of the juvenile justice system and youth-violence prevention programs
• Has law degree from Yale
• 2007: worked on the Green Jobs Act with then-Rep. Hilda Solis (D-Calif.), who co-sponsored the bill in the House
• 1993: was arrested at the Los Angeles riots that followed the acquittal of cops in the Rodney King beating. "I was arrested simply for being a police observer," says Jones, who had just graduated from Yale Law School and was working with the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights in San Francisco.
• 1999: was arrested in the 1999 Seattle protests against the World Trade Organization
• Excerpt from a Nov. 2005 interview in the East Bay Express:
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." In 1994, the young activists formed a socialist collective, Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM, which held study groups on the theories of Marx and Lenin and dreamed of a multiracial socialist utopia. They protested police brutality and got arrested for crashing through police barricades. In 1996, Jones decided to launch his own operation, which he named the Ella Baker Center after an unsung hero of the civil-rights movement.

He seems to hate the US enough to revolutionize it so why is he on the taxpayers dime?
