Van Jones, the onetime Marxist whose controversial statements about Republicans and 9/11 have made him a distracting lightning rod as Barack Obama's environmental czar in recent days, resigned tonight.

Now, the Sunday morning political talk shows (guest listings here) will have something really hot to talk about.

On Wednesday, as The Ticket reported here, Jones was forced to apologize when a video surfaced of his February remarks in Berkeley, of all places, using a reference to a lower anatomical orifice to describe Republicans.

The next day Jones again had to apologize for having his signature on a petition to then N.Y. Attorney General Eliot Spitzer seeking an investigation into the 9/11 attacks as possibly an inside job planned by then-Pres. George W. Bush to soften opposition to a war in Iraq.

On another video here Jones was seen mocking Bush physically and rhetorically as "a crackhead" for his addiction to petroleum.

The times actually calls him the onetime Marxist

[LibFreeOrDie]

Yeah, but they put it in past tense, as if he’d repented.

[abigail2]

Better yet...as if he’s not a czar anymore!

[the invisib1e hand]

Green jobs, indeed.

The Left continues to twist the truth.. http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2009/09/05/glenn-beck-rules-our-world/

Does being a lifelong Marxist count as onetime? I guess that’s how they’re counting...

[FlingWingFlyer]

He might be a “onetime Marxist” but he’s still, and will always be, a “lower anatomical orifice”.

ping!

Well, actually, he’s just a generic communist, and I wasn’t aware of his ever renouncing it.

These "progressives" in obamaland are afflicted with the dermatological disease of "thin skin"...laughter and ridicule causes them to come unhinged.

Turn the spotlight of truth on them and they react like the martians in "Mars Attacks" when granny played the "Indian Love Call" by Slim Whitman...their heads explode.

Truth is the kryptonite of the left...it takes the lead out of their pencil and leaves them without a defense.

And, they are all quite laughable....

[zipper]

now for the other Jones

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

The Times is trying to buff up the facts....and protect Obama.

“...Van Jones, the onetime Marxist”

What do you mean “one time marxist”. He's as much a marxist today as he's ever been. The fact that he tries to sugarcoat it only makes him more despicable.

fyi

Bammy: "Jones my bro...Whitey found out about you. You'll have to skip town for now."

Expect this Marxist to be back.

The link to the Sunday show lineup seems to be broken.

[repubpub]

Since he quit he admits he’s a communist. Does this mean Glen Beck was right and the sponsors were wrong?
