Who the hell cares? He's the Special Adviser for Green Jobs, Enterprise, and Innovation...not the Secretary of Defense.

Are you really unable to work a simple search engine? If a previous poster found an article from the Washington Post how do we know there aren't any articles about Jones on the other sources you mentioned? This post was a fail.

van jones search results on washingtonpost.com

This is why blogs do not belong in the BN news section. They do a horrid job of fact checking. I only checked the first two listed, and yes, they both talk about the Van Jones controversy.

Of course, why bother to defend this man when all you have to do is claim he's not important enough. My issue is less with this man and more with Barack Obama, who obviously knew this man's history when he appointed him.

the white house, obama's gonna have to fire him

Whatever. I'm sure that will be a crippling blow to the Obama Administration, to lose this guy who no one had ever heard of a week ago.

Feeds into the story of BO's associates; Rev Wright, Ayers, .... Jones fits perfectly into that story.

Even dumping him will just sound typical of how Prez Doofus operates.

good comeback

it's a painful blow in that it indicates the president is stupid enough to hire an open hater and racist to be a CZAR, let alone some little undersecretary of something

it's a hard hit in that the nation is talking all abuzz about this jones dude in the days leading up to obama's NEW health care announcement next wednesday

thus, no one's discussing the prospects of that prodigious plan for the disbursement of 16% of our national economy which the white house itself says it's STILL WORKING ON over the weekend

details for 16% of the economy to be determined sometime between sunday afternoon and monday nite, apparently

LOL!

after his extremely close relationship with the reverend wright, tho, many americans probably suspect that their president shares some of the views so loudly and hatefully expressed by mr jones

else why hire him?

obama's a little bit (not much) smarter than mr jones in that the prez has never been caught saying such idiocies

and so MANY of them

but he DID hire the guy, and reports are that he really liked the hater

it's a political loser, no way around it

it's gonna dominate the sunday talks

health care will have to take a back seat

LOL!

what an IDIOT this president is

remember when he ruined his primetime press conference on health care by bringing up professor gates (july 22)?

it's not all coincidence, friend, that obamacare has gone backwards every day since then

he lacks leadership, lacks credibility, doesn't look like he knows what he's doing

he's not in control

sorry

it's really kinda surprising these things need to be explained
