Valerie Jarrett & Van Jones Talks About Transforming Society

[SurlyCurmudgen]

If we want to survive, as a nation, as a republic, we must flush the progressives from both parties, from all government offices, from the media, from positions of instruction, both public schools and universities. The progressive political philosophy must be rendered ineffectual, laughable, an object of ridicule. The progressive must be excoriated and driven out of any position of authority. Any adherent of such an absurd idea should never be paid more than minimum wage.

[aldoreshgaramok]

@SurlyCurmudgen And we can start with the ethnic lobbies. La Raza has collected millions in federal grant money since Obama took power, all for funding leftist identity politicking and undermining border security so they can import more of "their people."

Communist mother fuckers hiding in wacko environmentalists clothing...I mean rags.

[muhammaddog]

please explain why Rosa parks was black enuff and the lady who 1st did the bus protest wasn't black enuff NAACP

[DwightSimpson]

Prediction: Van Jones will be shown to be as arrogant and intrusive as Al Gore and his ramblings. Van Jones will be stopped. He is nothing but a scare monger who is using the government's money to back his greedy projects. Just like Gore, he is in it for the money.

Suicidal grey capitalism? It's only sucidal because it has a mountain of socialized failure holding a gun to its head. 

[10Lamat]

lollerkates me luvs a flamewar! I actually have a B.S. in biology and am currently working on a Green Jobs initiative that addresses social justice issues at the community level... and I have my own place. anyone for some thoughtful dialogue and debate? notice i'm not calling anyone any names, here...

[hansboofer]

@10Lamat Yo, Lameass. I made an attempt-albeit a perfunctory one- to engage in meaningful debate with Olbermann, but he's too busy trying to find another gig. And Matthews' publicist says that Chrissy is too occupied with dreamily staring at Maddow's cock on his screensaver. Pelosi said she doesn't want to yammer on about social justice issues because at the end of the day the traditionally underserved are still as lazy-assed as ever. Only time she ever made sense, btw. Ok, NY Giants time. Bgood

[hansboofer]

@10Lamat Sounds like you need to get off your deadbeat ass and move out of your parents' basement, Lameass. Maybe you can transfer your grocery bagging skills to Somalia or North Korea or Iran and mewl about your sorry lot in those august nations. Ahhh, Capitalism. Greatest invention ever devised for people whose IQs are greater than their shoe size...Carry on, son.

[rapurdum]

Why does everything have to be about race with these clowns. I was born white .... get over it. Stop hatin' whitey. I am so tried of hearing about black and white from these clowns.

[yak6ex]

Is that woman white.

Damn she's hot in an ugly way.

[demslibssuck]

Poor Val. Poor Van. A tear...

[Rangerday1]

Van goes from back of the bus to under the bus. There is a lot of room left under there for the next and the next until we get to duhbama.

[metalchix]

There is absolutely nothing nefarious being said here. Pragmatic vision, I'm all for it. I support Van and his green jobs idea. We must mover forward together one step at a time.

What he is doing her eis arguing against radicalism. Nothing threatening about him at all. I'm glad he's advising our president. He is right were he should be.

[Motohouse2]

He is an admitted communist. THAT is the problem and the fact that he was indeed VETTED by the White house is the problem. That says they KNEW he is a communist.

My mom used to tell me "I can tell what you are up to by who you hang out with." That is very true.

Bill Ayres, Rev Wright, Van Jones All extremist radicals, and anti Americans. Van Jones even says he wants to change the entire system. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and hangs out with ducks, it must be a duck.

[metalchix]

Y'now, Van Jones is not 'an admitted communist'. That is a lie. But even if he was, so what? Really, must people be so freaking xenophobic? A good idea can come from from anywhere.. Van Jones has amazing ideas that can help bring us to a productive economy.

I'm not going to get into the Wright, Ayers thing either. What's happening here is that the far right is doing all they can to de-legitimatetise Obama. They are just throwing eveything within reach at him in an effort to take him down.

[Motohouse2]

He admitted that when he returned he was a communist. I am not on the right. andI voted for Obama. However, our country has been around for 233 years and we rule the world in just about any industry. Communism is a failed idea and it goes 100% against the values that our nation was founded on. Jones should have never been allowed into the Whitehouse. Ayres is a domestic terrorist that got off on a technical issue and it would have been equal to John McLame hanging out with Timothy McVeigh.

[metalchix]

"When he returned'? Van Jonesis not a communist. But even if he was. It's not a big deal. He has good ideas. We can let communists in the White House, cause that's how we do in America. Diveristy in being and opinion is what we value.

No going to engage you on Ayers, other than to say that Ayers was nothing like McVeigh. George Bush and the Neocons are more similiar to McVeigh than Ayers and 70s radicals who bombed shit.

[Motohouse2]

Your arguments are week. It is not a big deal to have a communist in the White House? Diversity makes it OK?. How about National Security? Obama (whom I voted for!) addresses the UN, then Iran launches 3 missles over the weekend and he heads to Copenhagen to to try and pay back Mayor Daley in Chicago by try to bring the Olympics there, instead of dealing with a NATIONAL DEFENSE ISSUE. Your liberal ideology is blinding you to the real world. You are a moron and I am done dealing with you.

[metalchix]

I just think Van Jones has great ideas about bringing industry back to America. Van Jones is not a communist. Even if he was, I wouldn't care and neither should you. This aint the 50s. Even back then communist witch hunts were stupid.

I think Obama is doing a good job. Screechy paranoia about him is not good for America.

[hansboofer]

@metalchix Yo, maybe since this mofo is outta a fuckin job, you can hire his dumb ass come over to yo momma's house and have him help yer dumb ass scrub the shit stains outta yer Spiderman shorts, faggot.. Keep yo goddamn ass from stinkin' up the hood, shit-fer-brains: Gnomesane? Goddamn right, mofo. Case closed, son.

[10Lamat]

@hansboofer how intelligent!

[hansboofer]

@10Lamat Hey, thanks for the compliment, Lameass. As they say, "Genius is pain."

[wideawake123]

@metalchix Hey metalchix, sorry to butt in a year late, but this is the 1st I'm seeing this clip and reading the forum. Van Jones had already been thrown under the bus by Obama when this clip aired. He was indeed a Card Carrying Communist, and a Self-Declared 9/11 Truther as well. As far as "delegitimizing Obama" goes, the last year shows that the entity that has done the most damage: who has "delegitimized Obama" the most has been Obama himself(aka Pres. Downgrade aka king of Excuses).

[metalchix]

@wideawake123 No. Obama is doing pretty well despite the attempts to take him down by the Repubs.

[activeartist]

@metalchix Anyone who thinks Obama is doing a good job, or "well," is most likely uneducated, (or under-educated), and completely oblivious to what is going on around them.

[loonmaniac]

You're like a circus pinhead.

[whereiswaldo2006]

When did Obama know and when did he know it?
