Last year, many at NRO and other conservative news organizations, including myself, wrote quite a bit about William Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright, and Michael Pfleger, and Tony Rezko, etc.
And more than a few Obama supporters, and more than a few mainstream media voices, thought that the criticism was wildly overhyped and Obama's ties to those types were irrelevant, because as president, Barack Obama would never put anyone in his administration with such controversial, paranoid, extreme, and anti-American views.
In light of Van Jones, all of those folks who said we made too much out of Ayers and Wright and the rest are invited to dine on a heaping platter of crow; it goes well with the egg on their faces.

Oklahomans listened as Obama only got 34% of the vote and won every county. Utah didn’t join us in 2008 like they did in 2004.
Obama was never liked that well in Oklahoma — from Chicago and way too radical. Now the rest of the Country is catching up.
Van Jones is confirmation that everything we thought about O, based on Ayers and Wright and Rezko and Frank Davis and Mansour... was right.
In fact, it wasn’t even the half of it.
Its a laboratory case of people seeing what they want to see. My boss is a Republican who switched parties to vote for the guy, so impressed he was with his two biographies. People see what they want to see.
Word.
bttt
Here is what one of the republican candidates for Governor of California had to say while strongly endorsing Van Jones.

That includes you, John McCain.
Van Jones is as American as Cherry Pie.
I’m fearful that there is truth in that statement.
They still do. Have you heard any reporting on Van Jones from the MSM that paints him in anything but the most brilliant colors?
You should bump that one to the top on its own thread.
I have a blog, DemocratsforSale, where I just posted that info along with the NY Times as example of why she should not be the GOP candidate in CA and named McCain/Romney as her big supporters. Anyone supporting Jones is no Republican or Conservative IMO.
Hannity was also onto these radicals in the early days...
Hey, on good ole Free Republic, in the run-up to the election, I had some freepers tell me to quit saying Obama was a Marxist as that was “offensive” and “would turn people off.”
Well, it sure as hell is offensive, I’ll grant you that.
Exactly. Those of us who have been awake the past couple of decades knew full well what Obama was all about, well before the election of ‘08.
The mere mention of his friendship with Bill Ayers was enough to make me scream “Marxist!” The more Obama talked and the more that was revealed, the more obvious it all became to me.

So how does that boss of yours feel about Obama now?
He’s been kind of quiet.
That includes you, John McCain.all of those folks who said we made too much out of Ayers and Wright and the rest are invited to dine on a heaping platter of crow; it goes well with the egg on their faces.
Hear, hear!
