Van Jones Targeted Because He's Black Says Huffington Post Columnist
Newsbusters/The Lid ^ | 9/7/09 | The Lid

Posted on 09/07/2009 6:04:08 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

If you believe Huffington Post contributor David Sirota there are only two types of people in the world, those who agree with everything President Obama says and does, and those who are racist.

Sirota is a "racer" someone who uses race as the political excuse for just about everything, and takes it to an extent which goes beyond any sense of reality.

Other famous racers are Janine Garafolo, who said that the people participating in the April Tea Parties were doing so because they objected to a African American President, and embattled Congressman Charlie Rangel who blames protests against Obamacare on racism:

"Some Americans have not gotten over the fact that Obama is president of the United States. They go to sleep wondering, 'How did this happen?' " Rangel

Appearing on CNN's American Morning today, David Sirota said Van Jones was "a national hero" who was "originally targeted because he's an African-American man" (video below)

DA Purge, Da Purge.....discussed right here on Free Republic during the election cycle, reference the patterns of historic ( hysteric?) national socialism are about to begin.

Its good news and bad news.

The purged will become backroom boys, underground Acorn manipulators, so you will be seeing them again with their hate and violence in organizing the “hopey -changey” Utopia revolution. They ( and there will be more than Van Jones under the bus before its over)will take their places as all of their ilk have in history, organizing the unthinking masses, issuing emotional calls to action, ACTION, ACTION! Man the barricades, etc, etc!

Unfortunately they will be with us until they are put behind bars for the crimes they will commit.

So we are not , according to the history of national socialism, through this by a long shot.Beck and others are quite right to say that Van Jones resigned in darkness. No comment, no reason, just a public falsely altruistic statement from Jones ( “I'll be bahk,” is the impression left.).What we have accomplished is the further radicalization of the Obama crowd, which is good.

Beck, Limbaugh , Malkin, Palin, and all the others who publicly oppose these “Czars” on their background and records should not let up. The more we can radicalize them, the sooner the public will see the true faces of the Obama movement of national socialism.

The sin that Van committed was that we saw in him the TRUE FACE of the Obama movement. And his mask was not viable at this point in the Obama movements evolution. The others have their masks well in place, and Obama has the greatest and most effective mask of all. His records have been thoroughly sealed or cauterized, but that can of worms will soon be opened. We need to inform America of this fact.

Getting these enemies of the Republic to show their true faces is what we have begun to accomplish, despite the censorship of the MSM. It is a great accomplishment as our citizens are beginning to realize how they have been traduced.

Lay it on folks. We have gained an inch in a hundred mile long battle!

Remember that the most effective weapons against fascism are ridicule,derision and truth. They worked on Van Jones.The additional accomplishment we have is that America is now understanding just that.

Thank you Mr. BECK!!!!!!!

He may be “black” on the outside and I have no problem with that. It is the fact that he is “RED” on the inside that I object to.

I think we should encourage the use of the racist label by the left. Have them use it for everything, use it loudly and use it long.

Eventually, your consumer preferences should be judged through a racial lens. You prefer strawberry ice cream to rocky road? You racist, you!

Overuse it until it is meaningless!

Libs, if, when conservatives don’t like a leftist, the first thing you think of is the skin color of that leftist, you are a RACER.

You are unable to think past someone’s melanin, so you quickly assume that others are like you, equally obsessed with race.

You need help to learn that the color of one’s skin matters less than the content of one’s character.

Maybe you should watch some speeches by a Martin Luther King Jr. On second thought, listen to them instead. You might be distracted by his outer appearance.

Well, he is black, but commies come in all colors as shown with the affirmative action fraud’s czarista regime. But then again, it would seem one would need to be black to be an avowed black nationalist deeply involved in riot and mayhem in the Rodney King riots, so perhaps his blackness is a factor, where his radicalism is associated to his blackness.

It is easy to prove:
87% of African Americans still support Obama.(13% must be psychologically impaired “Uncle Toms”). It is a well known fact that blacks cannot be racist, as traditionally only whites are racists. This is proven by the fact that whites do not support Obama at the same 87% rate.
Typical white people.

I would love to be at the table, but those two guys would intimidate me so, I probably would be mute before their deep wisdom.

Do you remember a program called 'Meeting Of The Minds'? A fictional round-table with persons like Aristotle, Jefferson, and Lock fielded questions from a moderator (a comedian turned serious educator, Audrey Meadows' husband, a true genius in his own right).
