The question remains - why did Van Jones resign (or was he pushed?) when virtually *none* of the ‘influential’ media were covering the story??

The Obama administration has a history of ignoring (at best) or demonizing (at worst) the gadfly Fox News, and the ‘handful of right-wing-extremist nuts’ that were pushing the issue....

There’s a ‘dog that didn’t bark’ in here, somewhere.....

He called himself a small-c communist for a while, though years after that label had lost its shock value and the official party had self-destructed.

Nice try, Becky. But the millions of murdered dead don't give a damn about the size of letters, shock value, or official parties, and either do you or Van Jones.

But don't worry, you're only a small-h hypocrite.

I'm not even sure NBC news has reported it YET!

You have to wonder how a committed Leftist reconciles his belief in the superiority of the collective with overweening egotism and personal self-aggrandizement. Or maybe it just never occurs to him to look at himself in the mirror.

Anyone who self IDs as a communist after what we know of the moral reality of that monstrosity is a danger to every human being with a pulse and belongs nowhere near political power of any kind. It is as inexcusable as holocaust denial or goosestepping in swastika regalia down mainstreet. Give up trying to find nuance in it, there is none.
