Van Jones Explained: "I Was Always Picked Last For Phys. Ed."; Scammed Law Degree From Yale
Saturday, September 5, 2009 | Kristinn

It appears the reason high level Obama appointee Van Jones has such a deep seated hatred for America has been found: He was a nerd who was bullied in school and was "always picked last" in team sports.

In an undated interview published at Collage Foundation, Jones spoke of his growing up as a nerd and how he scammed a graduate degree from Yale:

When you were younger, what were you interested in?

I was mainly interested in journalism and poetry and writing. I read a lot of comic books, James Bonda lot of good guy vs. bad guy type of stuff. I was a big 'Star Wars' fanÉI played a lot of strategy board games—I was basically a nerd.

Do you see any connection between that and the work you ended up doing?

Definitely—when I was younger I was really small and I was always picked last for Phys. Ed, sports teams and stuff. I was a bully magnet, so I grew up with a really strong hatred for bullies and people who abuse their power.

SNIP

I had a professor who encouraged me to apply to Harvard and Yale [for law school], which was almost unheard of for students coming from the kind of public schools that I was coming from in the rural South. I was accepted to both places, and decided to go to Yale because Yale didn't have any grades and was smaller than Harvard. I figured, once I enroll I'm guaranteed to graduate, so I can just go and be a radical hellraiser student, and they can't do anything about it. Which is pretty much what happened.

Jones also spoke about going to undergraduate school and getting internships and scholarships based on being Black:

I went to college on a minority scholarship. All my internships were minority internships...

So there you have it. Another tyrant working out his childhood issues on America.

Actually, I don't know how many of you have noticed, but "Van the Man" is using code; where he says "nerd" in describing himself, he actually means "Queer."

Van Jones is a raging, flaming homosexual with several axes to grind, not the least of which is his severely gender-conflicted self image. There is no greater perpetual victim than a black homosexual, whose only hope for any sense of self-worth is to imagine (and believe!) that the majority of people around him are cruel and villainous users.

His sociopathic penchants and deeply conflicted extreme mental disorder found him naturally drawn to the most liberal and aberrent forms of political self expression as a way to justify his otherwise useless existence.

As a gay man, he and his partner cannot bear children. As a hate-filled anti-social loser, he can fulfill no meaningfully productive role in normal society. His only possible purpose on this earth is to imagine huge hairy monsters (Conservative White Capitalists) and commit himself feverishly to destroying them.

How very sad. To awaken every day knowing that you're a loser whose only lot in life is to destroy, because your own choices make you incapable of creating anything. Poor guy. Girl. Whatever...

Is he saying Affirmative Action didn’t make him feel good about himself?

That's the subtext, isn't it.

What a shocker, that telling people, in that condescending, liberal yankee WASP kind of way, that you can't make it without a lot of help from benefactors who really hate your guts, makes them bitter and destructive.

Van Jones, Esq., J.D.(A.A.).

Note to self: Think about your career -—spend more time at the tanning spa!

LOL. Right after he graduated from Yale, he headed directly to SAN FRANCISCO.

Yesterday, when I was searching for information about him, I read wiki and I think his wiki bio stated, “married with 1 son.” NO mention of his marital status on wiki tonight.

I will try to find the other article which said he’s married and has a son.
