On Monday, former White House advisor Van Jones appeared on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” and slammed conservatives for unfairly attacking President Obama over his “you didn’t build” your business comments, saying the president’s remarks represented “the deepest form of patriotism.” Seriously.

But first, host Ed Schultz provided his own very special spin on Obama’s controversial statements. Predictably, Schultz bent himself into pretzels to defend the commander-in-chief.
“If you only watch Fox News, you might think the president was minimizing the hard work it takes to run a small business in America. But, in fact, President Obama was giving small business owners a lot of credit,” Schultz said. “He also pointed out that business folks need infrastructure and opportunity to succeed.”
He then played a clip from Obama’s speech that he gave at a campaign rally in Roanoke, Va., which Schultz said would put his comments into “context.” However, it was just a portion of the same clip that has been sending chills down the spines of Americans all over the country. This is what Obama told America’s innovators and business owners on Friday:
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.

Lenin thought he was a patriot, too.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Van Jones...words fail.
And in other news; water is now the deepest form of dry.
Nov 6 will eliminate the cancer wrought by naive voters who fall for affirmative action ruse of someone unfamiliar with this country’s greatness, as well as his disciples like this jerk
Obama must be pretty confident, letting his Communist tendencies and his Communist friends come out before the election.
Someone once said that the only reason some people were still alive was the fact that it was illegal to kill them.
It’s good to get terms out in black and white:
” communism ( often initial capital letter ) a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party. “

>> The deepest form of ‘communism’
Agreed, the comrades of Communism finally speak to their true intent. Not like this wasn’t obvious years ago.
Great analogy! Yet Beavus and Butt-head are more honet and much more patriotism than Obama and Van Jones (oh wait BHO and VJ have no patriotism since they are far left of communism)
..Or his handlers in Moscow must be
Yes, the deepest form of patriotism...to the Soviet Union.
Van Jones, last I heard, was a communist. Now the communists are claiming to be patriots. Well, it worked in the Soviet Union. If the public in this country isn’t on alert, we’ll be living in a totalitarian society in no time.
Business owners get help:
They also get hinderance which includes competition and it includes needless hinderance from our government.
Businessmen also risk their money and often the money of other investors. The free enterprise system relies on competition. It’s exciting and motivating for the players and the spectators.
Sports is the perfect illustration of the excitement of competition. On the one hand it’s only a game but on the other hand it shows the enormous energizing power of competition.
Government “help” which removes risk in an endeaver also removes the energy needed to produce excellent results. Bureaucrats and politicians handing out taxpayer money at no risk to themselves is not a breeding ground for excellence but rather a breeding ground for corruption.
Yes, in the “Dear Leaders” communist paradise!
Made me think of this oldie - "We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us."
I guess now that Microsoft is splitting from the MSMBC all the nutbags have come down with diarria of the mouth. The great one can say anything and it will go unreported, much like that tree that falls in the forest that no one hears.
Wonder how he tells his white wife every night how he got back at “whitey “ today? n/s
