Van Jones at the NCMR

[jymstone3]

This guy is creating a new jim crow and he is trying to destroy western civilization.

[deadrepublicantv]

Anyone that thinks Obama isn't FOR a privatized prison system is a fool! Obama does as his massas tell him and his massas LOVE privatized prisons almost as much as they LOVE bombing brown people!!! You think a man that bombs brown people is going to have trouble sending brown people to prison?!?! What a joke!!!

[yungbuwler]

those who oppose Mr. Jones.. Ask yourself, is it not right to stop police brutality in black communities? (rodney king) is it unjust to request that for profit prison which have an interest to increase prison admittance be ceased??... Shame on anyone who thinks the justice system of this nation is impartial to race and economic class... please know your history. and stop the name calling.

[yeowzuhx358]

I'm white, from the deep south and retired and I agree with everything this man says. I'm sick of angry old hypocrites spouting hateful judgements, claiming the righteousness of their God fearing character. How quick are they to claim to know the mind of the Creator, while picking your pocket. Jesus was a Socialist! Of coarse, that's the King James Bible not the Standard Oil Version.

[taylortuckey313]

@yeowzuhx358 its sad that an old white man who should be wise due to your life experiences but you're not. this man hates white people and is a devout communist, he lets out his true beliefs sometimup on thates when he gets mad and you should be smart enough to pick up on that. im 24 and im terrified that country is (being fundamentally transformed) by obama and is turning into a socialist/communist country. people should do personal research on what kind of an effect every presidents policys d

[beldapriest]

@taylortuckey313 Ooh! Rush Limbaugh is on Fox with Glen Beck and Adolf Hitler and your missing it! Run!

[taylortuckey313]

@yeowzuhx358 its sad that an old white man who should be wise due to your life experiences but you're not. this man hates white people and is a devout communist, he lets out his true beliefs sometimes when he gets mad and you should be smart enough to pick up on that. im 24 and im terrified that the country is (being fundamentally transformed) by obama and is turning into a socialist/communist country. people should do personal research on what kind of an effect every presidents policys have

[STEPHENAXT]

This guy is a dirt bag! He don't believe in free speech. God will judge who he is by what he does and what is in his heart!

[RyderStudios]

media reform? if someone wants everyone to hear what he/she has to say, why should it be limited by anybody? what happened, to freedom to petition, a peaceful assembly, and speech? You may call it candy but that doesn't change the fact that it's as sour as a warhead.

[carolbaroudi]

I find this truly inspiring and more relevant than ever...

[FWYGINOND]

van jones sucks giant sweaty dicks

[bobschaer]

3:30 "..... the enemy seems so big...". The emeny being people who have worked hard for our money and don't want to support the terminally lazy. Google " The Bill of No RIghts".

[popopo2311]

2 words. Emotional Manipulation.

[alright4u]

Sorry I do not deal with socialists.

[AshEL33]

(Van on moral conscience of U.S during Katrina) ".for years we had been served this conservative right wing ideology of "sink or swim--let people sink or swim" and then you saw people sinking ... and in their hearts people said "No, this is not the country I want"..and it re-humanized, for a moment, the black poor, (and) it re-humanized the people on the other side of the camera" Brilliant! True Leadership works for collective liberation..

[AshEL33]

Brilliant! True Leadership....truth to power

[regdawgformerusmc]

this guy is a good comedian, but very very misinformed! In short, what a clown. Oh by the way, before anyone call me a racist or a bigot, I am a black man from the People Republic of Chicago.

[FWYGINOND]

Anti-progressives unite!

[Pelaos1962]

I listened carefully to this speech. I never once Jones mention either Marxism or Communism. I never heard him express support for either. Those cotending that Jones is a Marxist or a Communist based upon this speech are abysmally ignorant concerning the tenets of either movement.

[FWYGINOND]

Van Jones co-founded STORM (Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement), a socialist group whose official Points of Unity "upheld revolutionary democracy, revolutionary feminism, revolutionary internationalism, the central role of the working class, urban Marxism, and Third World Communism."

[bobschaer]

@Pelaos1962 Read some of his writings. And a true politician can sell you anything without truly telling you what it is. Look at the healthcare bill for instance.

[polarbearcrisis]

fla4xhit : What are you talking about?  How was Bush a Communist? Are you on drugs?

[educateyourself2000]

Maybe his Malcom X wanna be fantasies got the better of him? Glad he's gone, now lets look closely at the other czars and see what comes up. This YOUR country, take it back from this half ass Communist Administration. Vote out all Politicians that vote for this Health Care Scam.

[bcass2]

Why does JIM CROWE and Racism come out of this guy's mouth no matter what he always talks about? Because he is a COMMIE RACIST.

He should study history and find out that the republican party was the Anti Slavery party during the civil war. He Is just too dumb to get a real education, He just hears what he wants to hear

[mabellehardie]

He is fired now!!! Communist!!! Mark Lloyd is next!!

[strilltalk]

Van Jones didn't resign because he was guilty of something. He resigned because he can see the bigger picture. The right wing runs the media and they are doing all they can do to bring down Obama's Presidency and his policies. Its a witch hunt. He stepped down as not to be a destraction to the good things Obama is trying to do for the world. Its just a matter of time before the media attacks someone else in his cabinet or some other appointment.

[mabellehardie]

He is gone because his words as a marxist got him...he is a racist.

[fla4xhit]

I am a classic case of listening to people like you for 8 years who called liberals every name in the book and are now use to your own big mouth. You lost the election, the house and the senate. Want to tell me again how I put blame in the wrong places? You surely can dish it out, but cannot take it. We liberals are now going to kick your ignorant asses as a daily dose of entertainment. SOUR GRAPER Wah wah cry me a river

[fla4xhit]

Republicans are SOUR GRAPERS, MOUTHERS, SABATOGERS, and most importantly inherit of the ignorant legacy of the Bush years. So, Van you have it absolutely correct. But you should have stuck around, There are more of us than the big mouthed, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Beck, FAUX NEWS, infotainment, facts optional, loud mouth idiots that spit in the wind and get their own big wad right back in the face. You should have stayed.

[obamasuks1971]

You are a classic case of blame in the wrong places , Van jones background was brought about by the liberal San francisco chronicle , in a artical written by Joe Garofoli , look for yourself van jones took himself down for his radical background , i for one am glad that we dont have a man like this in the political chain van jone didnt stay because he knew that it would all come out in the open , he knew what he was hiding innocent people stay and fight not run and hide

[mabellehardie]

Van Jones is gone because he was found out...he is a communist radical. He is a racist idiot.

[kevinpward]

When I see moral, articulate, and committed people like Van, I have hope for America--that we can be who our forefathers dreamed we could be---an open, pluralistic, idealistic society that can serve as a beacon of hope for the rest of the world.

However, when I read these comments, I realize that we have so many ignorant, racist, angry, uninformed people who are so easily manipulated by Rush, O'Reilly, Beck et al to vote against their own (and America's) interests.

[mabellehardie]

Van Jones words sunk his ship...too bad so sad...communist marxist idiot

[fla4xhit]

Did that big wad of spit hit you in the face? the only communist was your boy Bush who was butt flucing the COMMUNIST CHINESE as he was hocking out my Country.

[Julia4a]

Extoling the virtues of citizen journalism ...

How about all those video cameras in town halls?

[Dustwitch]

This guy is an idiot. I can't believe he is a Yale graduate. This speech is crap.

[Orion1232]

blockhead: *yawn*

Quit trolling, retard. Nobody is taking your neo-con views seriously. Otherwise we wouldn't have some socialist in office. Think about that for a second. The neo-cons where so fucking bad that it enabled a fucking socialist bank whore to come into office. God damn, what a fucking disgrace. LOL.

[killerrobotman]

pro-democracy movement goals

about 20 minutes into this video

"free broadband available to everyone, is number one on our agenda"

"every american child has a right to a media education"

"Davey D on the FCC"

Are you kidding me? Can you say Black Panther? This is the nations supposed Green Job Czar? Shows you the kind of mistakes Obama is making.

[Orion1232]

Blockhead: Libertarians aren't anarchists, idiot. We just don't believe the gov. should be telling people what they do in their private lives. Drugs, Prostitution, etc...That's real funny because you're dumb bitch, Sarah Palin claimed to be a libertarian. Hell, that crazy bitch even wanted to secede from the Union. Talk about fucking crazy. What's so crazy about wanted to audit the FED and find out where our tax dollars are going, instead of bailing out banks over and over. idiot.

[thekmjkmj]

How dare you compare slaves, completely innocent victims of an evil system, with felons, who in most cases went to prison entirely through their own actions? Shame on you!

[shavelman]

"I am resigning my post at the Council on Environmental Quality, effective today.

On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide. I am proud to have been able to make a contribution to the clean energy future. I will continue to do so, in the months and years ahead."

[shavelman]

"I am resigning my post at the Council on Environmental Quality, effective today.They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.I have been inundated with calls - from across the political spectrum - urging me to "stay and fight.. I am proud to have been able to make a contribution to the clean energy future. I will continue to do so, in the months and years ahead."

[4life1971]

everybody has an opinion hateful or not.

[roscoe85cj]

Sit your ass down Comrade Jones ... your 15 minutes of fame is OVER !

Next stop, Comrade Mark Lloyd, Obama's FCC communications czar !

[AntiLibreal2010]

VAN JONES IS DONE FOR AS OF TODAY!

[skitman1944]

What in the fuck is this idiot rambling on about? What are they fighting for, setting criminals free? Why didn't you leave the country van jones? Now you do not have a job boy. HAHAHAHAHAHA! This is nigger is living proff that indians fucked the buffalo.

[tootywink]

Van Jones is a quitter.

[pennridgeboy]

This is a Yale graduate? I really don't know what to say. If this is the product of the highest of higher education and 30 years of civil rights reforms, all of us, white black latino oriental are in for some terrible times.Compare this fraud to former Sec of State Condalessa Rice or Colin Powell. What a waste of black. If this is the real face of Barak Obama you white progressives and independents have been seriously hoodwinked and bamboozaled. The chickens are indeed coming home to roost!

[boduccia7]

The truth is Radicals should never hold public office. That is the opinion of our founding fathers, and I suggest we start to follow what they had to say in order to put this country back on its proper footing. We need moderation in our lives and in especially in our government. You cant compromise with a radical, but you can with a moderate.

[judgementday65]

Just like Obama, this guy's nothing but a megalomaniacal racist and a hatemongerer. He's symptomatic of the kind of toxic, anti-social dysfunction that is rampant within the black community in America, a community which has never learned to embrace the ideals, attitudes,and behaviors of civilization and persists in blaming white America for all its failures and shortcomings.

[3clGTX]

Hey Van Jones Wendys is hiring. lol

[MyRealityBytes]

Woo hoo! Van Jones resigned! A tiny win for us...

This guy makes me sick. He gets so carried away that by 13 minutes into this video, it is all he can do to thinly veil his racist views...His joke about Donald Rumsfeld working at Wendy's is not so funny now that Van Jones himself is now among the list of major political fuck ups, is it?

[Orion1232]

van jones resigned because he believed 9/11 should be investigated. Should we go after the same people who believe Obama isn't an American citizen? God you people are fucking dumb. Keep fighting amongst yourselves, idiots. The elite love that. You think the parties are any different? Both are reeking of the communist scent. The difference is you have one party, Bush, taking away liberties for securities, and Obama, giving our money to bankers for security. Wake the fuck up idiots.

[roscoe85cj]

Good Grief ! .. for the last time, Bush didn't take ANY of your liberties (that is, unless you had Al Qaida on your speed dialer)

dumbass

[Orion1232]

roscoe: Oh, I forgot, Bush was a saint and Obama is the devil, even though they are doing the EXACT same shit. The exact same shit, mind you. LOL. Fucking idiot.

[roscoe85cj]

haa ha ha .. typical libfuck, can't discern any shades of gray .. the point is fuckdrip that Obama has packed OUR whitehouse with radical socialists/marxists/communists and everyone in the Bush administration WOULD HAVE PASSED A FBI BACKGROUND CHECK !

deal with it

[Orion1232]

roscoe: Still rambling incoherently? You dumb ass neo-cons have been exposed. You hijacked our libertarian tea parties for corporate propaganda. You have set up forums to bash Obama instead of talking about the federal reserve. You are nothing but "johnny late leaf", "astroturf" morons, with nothing better to do than take all your ques from corporate trash on cable news. Libertarians hate you neo-cons. You are not welcome at our events. At least libs are open in being a socialist, you aren't.

[MyRealityBytes]

@Orion1232 - Van Jones was asked to resign because of his racist , radical views. IF he were white and saying the same things, he STILL would have been asked to resign.

You are the idiot for assuming that I belong to ANY political party.

[Orion1232]

myrealitysucks: No, he was asked to resign because of his views on 9/11. He isn't alone on this, regardless of party affiliation. Racist? LOL. Get real, retard. You don't know shit about being discriminated against. You are nothing but another suburban idiot who watches too much t.v.. When is the last time you ever got discriminated against? Quit the false victimization bullshit. It gets old.

[MyRealityBytes]

You ASSume you know me. You know nothing about me or my views. So STFU. You need to get a grip.

[Orion1232]

Myrealitysucks: One thing I can say for sure is the fact that you have referred to black people as niggers in private amongst your friends. You can't hide from the truth. Do me a favor and quit playing race politics and wake the fuck up. Bush = Obama. If you can't see that, you are plain fucking stupid. Which one passed the bail outs? The answer will surprise you.

[Orion1232]

blockhead: Poor guy. Don't be so mad that McCain and his hooker got defeated. Why don't you start worrying about real issues, like who is really fucking you, instead of watching Fox News 24/7. LOL. Obama? Bush? Same shit, different asshole, and partisan hacks like yourself perpetuate the ongoing dumbing down of america. But, like I said, don't worry, the republican party is in good hands. Libertarians for the win. You? Well, you can go back to supporting the failed drug war and jesus in school.

[Orion1232]

grendo: Yea, you, neo-con. It's not rocket science. LOL. Poor fool. Keep slaving away for Obama, Clinton, and the Bush family. Cuz we all know they have YOUR interest in mind. LOL. Idiot.

[lashkaretoiba]

The AP just annouced this douchbag resigned. I couldn't be happier.

[Orion1232]

Grendo: Yea, bush and the NEO-CON party is gone. Thanks for your support. Everyone, support the tea parties and their ORIGINAL purpose, which was auditing the FED. Don't let neo-cons fool you into thinking they know what's best. They are a bunch of psychopathic idiots who worship and invisible man, and think YOU should too. The ironic part of this is they supposedly believe in the constitution. Ever heard of separation of church and state. LOL. You neo-cons are fun to fuck with.

[Orion1232]

blockyidiot. LOL. Actually, big time LOLzers. You make me laugh, and perpetuate yourself as a fool. Obama and his admin are a bunch of banker apologists, just like the last regime. Get your head on strait, then maybe you will have sex once in your lifetime. LOL. Oh, truthers are idiots, yet birthers are "sane". LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Blockhead is just another establishment apologist. Support the audit on the federal reserve. Don't let partisan hacks like blockhead and others take this country down. LOL

[cancerboy77]

Holy shit, does this guy actually believe this garbage? Please, for the love of all that is holy, STAY in Memphis.

[m40345]

Jones claims that katrina was the slide that Bush never recovered from. Funny thing, though, Jones and katrina have a lot in common  - Van Jones will be the slide the obama never recovers from.

[fredsgal54]

I just watched the video. It is astonishing, almost breath taking.This man, I believe, really believes all that he says. I thought we were trying to become as "one", Americans. Not what he is talking about. I do not believe with his arrogance that he will resign. That scares me, really scares me. Obama has the same arrogance.There are those that voted for Obama I feel would follow him off a cliff, if anyone knows of some WWII History. I have to keep believing that truth WILL prevail....

[harlz2000]

If this guy isn't fired by Labor Day we should have a million honky march on Washington. Oh, wait, we can't - we all work. Someone needs to find out where Jones income has come from prior to his government "job". I'll bet it was always taxpayer money, funnelled through a series of "non-profits".

[angelwannabe008]

Talk about racism!  His views are completely against those that I try to teach my children about equality amongst races. I am disgusted and scared to have this guy in the White House!

[tjarthur]

Between this clown, "Reverend" Wright and the rest of Obama's posse, we couldn't make this story up 2 years ago and make people think it was possible that one day such a radical contingency would be running our country.

[ShepsCutters]

One of these days us middle class white Americans are going to finally get tired of the double standard and reverse racism by this type of radical black man. If you disagree with a black agenda they call you racist. I say we start judging people on merit not color, but then again I guess all the free affirmative action bullshit that is out there would actually make people work and earn what they have instead of this intitlement attitude that all black racist extremists rave about and display.

[ShepsCutters]

This guy is definately a radical white hater. I think every prison in America should work the hell out of the prisoners from sun up to sun down. Maybe they will quit committing crimes. For him to make these inmates seem likes victims is a discrace. What about the innocent victims of the crimes committed against them?? Just keep blaming Whitey for all your problems, its always easier to blame someone else for failure. He talks about racism, the only racists I've seen lately are Blacks.

[JimFromWaterford]

Weird, this turd talks about taking advatage of the people, with on-land slave ships, yet he's a confirmed Communist. Hypocritical "asshole"!

[mcsadapted]

I guess "one-party authoritarian rule" is not as much of a problem for Mr. Jones as it used to be.

The difference between this racist nitwit and Obama is that Obama is sneakier, smoother, more dishonest.

[mcsadapted]

racist marxist sack of shit.

Obama's boy...

[greglindathomas]

By his own admission, Van Jones wants to use the green movement to rid the world of capitalism and then redistribute wealth from the oppressors (whitey).

We should judge Van Jones by his writings, speeches, and interviews. Educate yourself and you'll see that this guy is a racist and a bigot.

[Tougemaster06]

@greglindathomas I didn't know calling out white supremacy for what it is makes one a racist now XD.

[billthestinker]

another prominent scholar!

[AntiLibreal2010]

Hahahaha I know right Bill,there all ways prominent scholar's!

[BigBadSeattleLad]

Excessively self-absorbed, with a predilection for quirky pantomine and excess melodramma - all for the cause of a specious 'boys in da hood' approach to 'social justice' - this little engine has very deftly derailed himself (hooray for Darwinism!)

[BigBadSeattleLad]

Wrong O-urine... it's coming from thinking people who don't like the idea of a whole busload of unvetted, unconfirmed fringe characters - selected by the president himself - serving as czars or 'advisors' to the most powerful person on the planet. Even a shitwit like yourself should begin to sense something out of place here (despite that tingle still running up your leg)...

[RodRambler]

This is what the democrats and liberals have sank to. Obama's "Czars" are nothing but front men who are doing a poor job of hiding his radical plans for our country. This radical is race baiting and trying to start his own, or Obamas, revolution. The REAL America is in between Manhattan and Malibu.Comrad Jones should be sent back to Cuba or Venezuela.I've heard more racial comments from Obama 's own people than I heard in the 60's.

[tampabayproductions]

this is a racist bastard.

[cookleon]

This is not what most racists look like.

Perhaps you are mistaking his patriotism or his altruism for racism?

[btwall60]

Andrea Mitchell said tonight that the Van Jones problem is....well.....a problem for Obama & that O "can't get his message out" or some such crap. Andrea, the message is out. It's B.S. & nobody wants it.

[vxf603]

is so funy when a monkey with glasses and a tie try to speak big, but in the end can't go further than the geto ,,,

[damoparman]

yeah he will put alot of people to work but if your not of color or illegal YOU WILL NOT HAVE A JOB

[at7000]

This guy really knows how to stick it to whitey...

I loved every minute of this...

[PJROXTHEBOX]

~Brownslocksmith...he IS a SELF AVOWED RADICAL REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNIST! He also wants Mumia Abu-Jamal..A COP KILLER released from prison!! This guy is linked to quite a few radical groups..is an extemist and is a danger to society and is ADVISING the Best Pres Evah..this is who you voted for people!!!!

[dmaxo55]

So this guy is a presidentially appointed "czar." Demand that this fool be shown the door and return to the private sector. Shameless cynical portrayal of an industry as racist is appalling. Don't like private prisons? Fine. The reason is not that they are racist.

[Brownslocksmith]

The Soviets hugged everyone too... but in doing so they pulled out there wallets and took everything they had at gun point the next moment... Im not saying he is a Communist. But PRETTY DAM CLOSE!!!

[rjack66]

This is nonense. Acording to Boobamma 5 million jobs will be created by green jobs. This man is not qualified to run a mini mart, let alone be in charge of putting millions of americans back to work.

Maybe felons are felons since they dont follow laws, and did he ever think that red neck jim is also in the same corporate prison.. obviously you see what you see thru rose colored glasses. He will not get us anywhere.

[SurfBum22506]

What a goofy mother fucker.

[HDV10]

If there was a Moron of the decade award .. this guy would wind it over and over again!

What a freaking idiot !

[MegaJeff53]

this guy is a bafoon--- he will be out of white house by tues------this is the kind of radical sht you get in white house when you elect a liteweight like obama--- be glad when this guy is gone-- although i do like to watch clowns an the circus

[larris12kathy]

This man is a joke like Obama

[RCLinRcine]

Green Jobs Czar? I guess....., we need employment for the affirmative action Yale graduates. Fake brilliance needs fake jobs. Who else but government would hire him. Yale sheepskin lost some of it's lustre.

[elnovakaine]

This guy has his terminology all mixed up...getting the cart ahead of the horse. "You don't have to call some one the N-word if you can call them a felon" he says. Here's the deal, when one is referred to as a "nigger" that just means that haven't been caught and convicted yet...you wouldn't call an undergraduate "doctor".

[Shua01]

Van Jones thinks that only black peoples are poor, felons, and whatever else. I'm sorry, but the only way that racism will end is if black people stop playing the victim. President Obama was supposed to be this great unifier, but what he is doing is dividing people by putting this man, who obviously has issues with anyone who is not African American, in this 'Green Job' administration position.

[uperrsc]

If Obama wanted to make sure he only serves ONE term, he is doing the things he needs to do. He is shameless in so quickly doing things he claimed he would not do. He is a committed socialist and abortionist, and quite likely a "typical" racist. The saddest thing is how many Christian Americans gave him their votes. We can only pray that some of the damage will be undone in the midterm elections!!!!

[mikeusat]

The scary part that is Rev Wright and Van Jones are two people very close to Obama, Obama is probably like these guys. He just puts on a smiling face to cover up his radical tendencies. Obama is a Muslim communist who believes everything that Van Jones believes.

[puewang]

is this real or joke. why is our priesdent put him in the office.

[allabeen]

Slave ship on dry land...... "You don't have to call somebody the n-word if you can call them a felon."

Van Jones... if that is what you see when you look into a prison.... Then you can't yell Jim Crow. You need to stop creating huge division in our country and pushing socialist ideals and start trying to encourage the black community to STOP making prisons look like "slave auctions" but you have been to busy participating in riots and communism.

You are the problem.

[melasun07]

13th Amendment:

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, EXCEPT AS A PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Blacks make up 12.5% of America, but 60% of prison population. Just something to think about...

[soupatwork]

That maybe some folks should go to work and quit robbing liquor stores? Racism and Prejudice exist in our justice system, but the idea that 60% of our prison population was just walking their virtuous little fannies to church when they got picked up and wrongly convicted is just stupid.

[melasun07]

I live in California. Have you ever heard of Prop 21? Laws are passed all the time that affect one group of people more than others. The History Channel did a documentary about how Marijuana was made illegal after becoming popular with Hispanics. Before then you could buy it in a Sear's catalog.

Now I will agree that "personal choice" means everything as I came from the hood and made good. But for most, if all you see is negativity that's what will be real for you.

[melasun07]

We are all products of our environment and all have our heroes. Unfortunately for some kids if all you see is the neighborhood drug dealer and gang bangers doing well then that's what you will fall into.

And most ethnic gangs were formed as a reaction to the military (Hispanic gangs of LA) and the police (black gangs)

History is a wonderful thing.

[soupatwork]

The only part I'll disagree with is "We are all products of our environment". You're completely ignoring any sense of individuality with that statement and also ignoring biological factors. How a Bipolar person reacts to authority will be starkly different than your average bear. Our laws, immigration, federal, local are all a confusing mix of whatever was popular and politically advantageous at the time. Still, having friends in prison, I know it takes a lot of "naughty" to end up there.

[Taova]

lawl bad racist is bad. This guy is a felon.

[ewmoreau1]

Are you kidding me? This guy is very dangerous.  Why has the president put so much faith in him?

[jmspflw]

Van Jones is a younger version of Rev. Wright. Just as dumb and hateful.

[cantilever]

Absolute lightweight...

(What the HELL was he thinking with that execrable Donald Rumsfeld-works-at-Wendy's "joke"?)

Easy pickin's for the Becks of this world...

[MuslimPigFuckers]

this guy is such a fuckin nigger....what else is new??

[joserios559]

people talking about fuck prisoners and commies without admitting that some of their own family members might have been radicals or have been in prison before or maybe they you guys dont have the knowledge of that too much common sense in here, internet clowns who dont speak up off the computer

[MuslimPigFuckers]

Thats pretty stupid to think that there were many people who were radicals. Dont act like the hippy movement in the 60's and early 70's was really major. Most Americans were still normal, working their jobs, and many were fighting hard in the military. The radicals were probably 1% of the population.

[melasun07]

Um, the History Channel has done documentaries on the "hippie movement" saying if it weren't for the Manson Family the "hippies" would have changed everything.

[joserios559]

wow lots of glenn beck followers on here

[FreakeThings]

I don't see why some are posting that he can "talk", he sounds like a thug to me. He stands for those who can't make it on their own, who must throw stones at the innocent for pity. A real piece of 'chit.

[PaulineVanStanley]

This piece of communist shit needs to go.

[dedgomer]

I hope Obama lama ding dong keeps this guy as an advisor. It can only serve to awaken the good people in this country to the fact that the current administration is aligned along communist ideals. This guy is an over-educated comedian/entertainer/fool who should try living in the real world for a while.

[doeboy1770]

Acorn, how does dead people vote,or what about those videos of black guys with sticks?

[macbassplayer]

why from about 1:00 - 2:20 does he refer tp a prison as a slave ship? is he suggesting that this facility is being put there to house only black people? my god what is this man doing advising the president?

[doeboy1770]

The internet , radio and TV are open for everyone,but when you look at ratings,it tells you what the people really want,and you ain't it brother!

Jones doesn't have to worry about the "back of the bus"...he's about to be thrown under it. And Obama actually followed this Communist asswipe for years before appointing him?

[cbybee20]

For all his anti-authoritarian rhetoric, this guy sure is big on controlling shit.

[Delta9son]

Fuck this nigger, i just came here to say that, i hope he gets chopped

[AntiLibreal2010]

Van Jones is a radical hack,just another one in a long list of obama's people!

[Orion1232]

this coming from idiots who think obama wasn't born in the USA? Dumb hypocrite.

[AntiLibreal2010]

Is that right O crap,watch how your boy gets the boot because of over whelming pressure!

[Orion1232]

Moron: My boy? LOL. Sorry, pal. Didn't vote for Obama. Go back to your little fox news partisan bubble. And don't worry about the republican party, it's in good hands. We libertarians are taking it over. Besides, after you neo-cons ruined the republican party with your bullshit, nobody wants to be associated with you anymore. Now you assholes are trying to hijack our Tea Parties with your partisan bullshit. You neo-cons are welcome there. It's to protest the FED, not cry about Obama. Idiot.

[AntiLibreal2010]

Libertarian must be the new home for all the liberals like your self who dont want to admit what they are and are ashamed to have voted for obama!

[Orion1232]

Idiot: Poor neo-con. Still suckling at the halliburton, bush/cheaney tit I see. LOL. Hey, retard, I got news for you. Bush passed the first "stimulus", and the first bail out. You think Obama and Bush are different? LOL. Oh, and go ahead, keep building up that stawman, "you voted for obama", bullshit. It makes me laugh. Neo-cons and Neo-libs, two idiot parties following the blind. Oh, and please don't call yourself a conservative, because you have no fucking clue what that means, neo-con. LOL.

[1973cuda]

Van Jonesin is an obama clown.

[JDvorak2009]

Jim Jones was the same exact thing as this guy. Leading his followers down a dead end

[excaliburno1]

He calls the right "authoritarians"?

[sirhogin1]

[madrox555]

[notlibsuckup]

[ekorol77]

I came to this country without knowing language, alone with child. Worked very hard to make it. So I cant take this bs This is an eye-opener for me, to understand what they really about. On the other hand every nation has a ruler its deserves. So I guess first shell become last.sorry and good luck

[ekorol77]

Dangerous dangerous individual. Can talk. Probably no clue abt siunce math or world history. Just blah blah blah. Populist like most related to this administration. I know exactly what they are trying to do. I saw and know how its done in other places...whoever can get out from here get out. its the end of america. They will divide - poor will stay poor, middle class will become poor, and they will become a new 3%. I cant take this bs about race issue.

[ncpatriot26]

This Communist is our Green czar? How sickening is the hate exuded from this guy?

[hnolette]

Authoritarian rule ended with the Bush Administration? Buckle up people it's going to be a scary ride. He who controls the media controls the people.

[FriscoCityKid]
