Van Jones, the controversial Green Jobs Czar in the Obama administration endorsed an anti-police day of action initiated by a Maoist communist cult group, the Revolutionary Communist Party, in 2006.
The statement for the action is entitled, "Call for Oct. 22, 2006: Eleventh Annual National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation", and states in part:
Why isn’t the escalation of police brutality and murder in recent years headline news? Perhaps because these images don’t comply well with the need to project images of police as “defenders against terrorism.” Since September 11, 2001, law enforcement agents (including border patrols) have been given greater license to increase and broaden repression. Steps were even taken to grant more worth to a police officer’s life, with the “heroes law” enacted in New York State, for which the governor originally called for a death sentence for anyone who shoots a cop. At the same time, the cop who killed African immigrant Ousmane Zongo in New York, after a rare conviction (criminally negligent homicide) was sentenced with probation and community service. Torture, brutality, detentions, domestic spying, profiling, and other attacks on human and civil liberties have been made part of the routine of daily life that we are asked to accept without question. At airports, subways, transportation centers, and more we are asked to “welcome” bag searches, check points, invasion of privacy, stripping away of civil liberties, all in the name of “national security.”
Jones' name on the list of endorsers is between to radical anti-Israel groups:
ISO (International Socialist Organization), San Francisco
Van Jones and the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights
Justice4Palestinians
Other endorsers are communist groups like Code Pink, ANSWER, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, an SEIU local as well as various anti-American leftists including terrorist supporter attorney Lynne Stewart.
The Revolutionary Communist Party cult is headed up by Bob Avakian.
The RCP endorsed the terrorists in Iraq through the Not In Our Name support of the World Tribunal on Iraq.
RCP also founded World Can't Wait, Drive Out the Bush Regime.
The Obama administration supposedly had the most thorough vetting process of any administration with a focus on things that could be found on the Internet.
It's true. Van is actually the best Republican we have right now, I hope he sticks around for a few more days.
I don’t think this will die down - Van Jones is the gift that keeps on giving! I thought I wanted him fired, but now I have mixed feelings, as it seems to be an effective distraction from the other things (indoctrination of school kids, calling Congress together to scold them). Every day that the WH has to defend Van Jones is a good day!
Wow...is this guy a peach or what?
Indeed. Thanks to the MSM we now know more about the personal lives of Sarah Palin's children than we do about Hussein's birth certificate.
I was thinking that too, but it's hurricane season, and that means Karl is too busy with his weather machine.
Someone more computer savvy than I, needs to do a screen shot. This looks like a list of who’s who.
Maybe OB will have Jones and Beck in for a couple of brewskis.
“”””Van Jones will be a bleeding rotting red albatross around Obama’s neck.””””””
Its about the equivalent of Bush having a former KKK Grand Dragon in his administration.
Its exactly the same... only the colors are reversed.
Of course, the difference would be that Jones’ racism is socially acceptable and the media would have eaten Bush alive. Somehow all I hear are crickets with this Van character.
Remember that video of Obama speaking at an ACORN assmbly of some type and Obama clearly said that “all you are going to be there with me” or something colse to that?
The guy is doing pretty much what he said he was going to do.
I didn’t see that one, but there’s another quote going around the threads. Something like “Judge me by the people I surround myself with.” Commies and tax cheats!
**********************
Give him a break. He's only been against it for a few days. :)
>>>>At some point, aides to Obama are going to tell him he needs to stop thinking like a liberal and save his presidency.<<<<<<
That will happen. If nothing else, 0 is a savvy politician. He convinced people to vote for him. And just like all good politicians, he can turn on a dime, change colors like a chameleon to suit his surroundings and not miss a beat.
He might “snap” back...
No no there’s nothing stupid about this guy or what he is.
He is exactly what Obama loves, how he was born and raised.
Who amoungst us hasn’t been raised by a jam-jar-filled whiskey swillin’ old bad radical communist poet with a 699 page FBI file, sittin’ in his little old shack?
Gee, what’s so strange here?
Stopyerbitchin’ everyone.
He’s helping us spot white polluters targeting people of color, after giving ‘em AIDS and sending the remainder to Africa etc etc etc ad nauseam ......
As in really ad nauseam.
If you’re not sick yet ———— you soon will be.
Yo Big O please don’t taze me !!!!!!!!
“Van Jones Signed Anti-Cop Statement By Maoist Cult in 2006”
Gee what a surprise.
Really, it’s insulting to the American people that someone would claim that a belief they have not forsaken in years is suddenly no longer theirs. More from Wikipedia:
“When he graduated law school, Jones gave up plans to take a job in Washington, D.C., and moved to San Francisco instead.[11] He got involved with Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), a group explicitly committed to revolutionary Marxist politics[12] whose points of unity were revolutionary democracy, revolutionary feminism, revolutionary internationalism, the central role of the working class, urban Marxism, and Third World Communism.[13] While with STORM, Jones actively began protesting “alleged police brutality”.[11]”
“”””What was he thinking to come out targeting Glenn Beck, going after his job and career when he has so many damned skeletons?”””””
Thats because he is a black racist. He, like most of the country, is under the impression that it is socially acceptable to be racist as long as its racism against white people. Its OK to hate a group of people as long as that group is white. Anyone who hates any other group of people is racist. Thats why he is not worried about his past. He knows that the media will shy away from it.
Its acceptable to hate white people.
Bingo! You guys are driving (metaphorical) stakes through his heart. Beck will get this and riff for days.
Well, the title doesn’t sound terribly suspect. Who doesn’t want to stop police brutality?
But the fact remains: Van Jones was still intimately involved with genuine communists.
