“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for our future.” --Van Jones, on his resignation as Green Jobs "Czar"

With sadness probably not felt by the left since the death of Joseph Stalin, Amy Goodman and her fellow Communists at Democracy Now! offered an analysis of the events leading up to the midnight resignation of Barack Obama’s MarxistGreen Jobs CzarVan Jones Sunday evening.

Goodman set the stage by describing Jones’ many achievements:

Jones was a longtime community organizer in the Bay Area. He is the founding president of Green for All, the co-founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, and the co-founder of the group Color of Change. His book The Green Collar Economy was a national bestseller. Time Magazine recently named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Such an impressive curriculum vitae certainly did not escape the notice of another former community organizer, the current occupant of the White House, Barack Obama. In March, President Obama tapped Jones to be a special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

I don’t care what a bunch of unscrupulous, dishonest clowns have to say.

Amy Goodman needs a government apartment in Caracas eating whatever is on the shelves...she is a Commie maggot that lives the high life crying for Marx.

Liberal who is lost, #2432.

Amazing, they aren’t even pretending they’re not communists anymore.

Typical leftist—You quote the man’s actual, unedited words, in context and he will swear that it is a lie. Did you see the clip of Howard “the screamer” Dean claiming that he did not say the words that he just said?

“They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide”

Is Van Jones saying Van Jones lied about and distorted the views of Van Jones?

O.K. Yes, that’s my signature on the the 911 Truther Petition, but nobody reads what they sign, right. How many members of Congress do you think read the Stimulus Bill?

We’re setting a new standard, here. We’re changing things.
The working family understands this. America understands this. We have a moral duty to pass this change on to our children, our grandchildren.

BINGO. They have outted themselves. They used to be subtle and sneaky. Now they are just blunt. The MSM is not even trying to hide their bias anymore.

Have you noticed that the vast majority of shows and organizations with the word "democracy" in the title, isn't? It has become an over-used obfuscation by lefties.
When I first heard of the show "Democracy Now!" I said to my honey "how much you wanna bet its a gaggle of marxists running that show?"
I suppose they think they can fool all the people all the time.
