Re: The Van Jones (Non) Feeding Frenzy.

Now,,,back to Van Jones. Jones distanced himself from the position on Thursday, saying, "In recent days some in the news media have reported on past statements I made before I joined the administration -- some of which were made years ago. If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize. As for the petition [9/11 statement] that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever." An aide to Jones told FOX News he "did not carefully review the language in the petition." The aide did not say when Jones signed the petition or when he became aware of the controversy. Great,,,most of us would take the time to READ what we sign, but I guess Butt-Heads don't think that's important. Thursday's apology followed Jones' mea culpa on Wednesday, when he expressed his remorse for "offensive words" he uttered in February, when he called Republicans "assholes." He said those remarks "do not reflect the views of this administration" and its bipartisan aims. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs limited his remarks about Jones on Friday, saying only that he "continues to work in this administration." As to the Sept. 11 conspiracy theorists, Gibbs said, "It's not something the president agrees with." At least one congressman, U.S. Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., has called for Jones' resignation. Democratic strategist and FOX News contributor Bob Beckel predicted that Jones would be out of a job by Labor Day, and he wondered how Jones got the "czar" post in the first place. "He's got every right in the world to be a self-avowed communist, but the Secret Service would no more allow a self-avowed communist into the White House as they would Charlie Manson, so that's what I don't get," Beckel said. "There's something more in here about the breakdown of the system. Yes, it broke down with the Obama administration, but it also broke down with those people who are responsible for doing the background check," he added. |

Re: The Van Jones (Non) Feeding Frenzy.
I don't believe that the MSM mediawhore establishment is either Liberal or Conservative. They will kiss the butt of whoever is president, so as not to make waves that they fear might eventually impact their bottom line. When Bush was in office, they went out of their way to accommodate him, even agreeing to be embedded during the Iraq war. Now Obama is in office, and they are going out of their way to accommodate him too.
It's no surprise, really. The only losers here are the American people, who have to read, watch, and listen to the fluff and pablum puke that is being regurgitated by these Bozos. |
