Van Jones represented the extreme left-wing in the Obama Administration as the Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation aka Green Jobs Czar. I might go so far as to say he represented the Trotskyite wing of the administration before he resigned. Thus when someone that far to the left rips Attorney General Eric Holder over Operation Fast and Furious it is news.
The lead story at The Daily Caller today is about a radio interview that Jones had with a conservative radio program. In that interview, Jones made the comment:
“I believe that if this was happening across our other border in Canada, we’d probably take it a little more seriously,” Jones said, implying much of the carelessness over Operation Fast and Furious came because many of the victims are Hispanics from Mexico.“I worry sometimes that we just don’t value all life the same,” Jones added.
I don't tend to agree with Van Jones on much of anything and I explicitly reject his vision of America. That said, I think he is right. While at the risk of being called paranoid, delusional, and an insurrectionist, I think somewhere along the line the calculation was made that in the greater scheme of things a few dead Mexicans were an OK tradeoff if it allowed the Administration to implement stronger gun control laws. I mean it's not like they were campaign donors or anything.
Gunwalker, Murdergate ping.
This should be used to convince Mexican American voters that Obama is not their friend.
Not as juicy as it may appear. Thanks marktwain.
I am surprised that the messiah hasn’t thrown Holder under the bus yet...
perhaps because Holder knows where the bodies are buried.
Thank you....I just updated my tag line....
Obammy has thrown Jews and Israel under the bus, they still vote for him.
Obammy has pushed black unemployment beyond rediculousness and still they vote for him.
Females get paid less who work for him and he treats them with contempt and still the ladies vote for him.
Sooooo, what makes you think Mexican americans are smarter than a 6th grader??
BTTT
