Just wow. Blaming his deep rooted communism on the fact that “He was a nerd who was bullied in school and was ‘always picked last’ in team sports” is like claiming that criminals turn to crime because of poverty.
The falsity of equating an outcome with certain experiences does nothing to explain why most nerds who were bad at sports actually turn out pretty well, or why most poor people do not commit crimes. By that (non)reasoning, I should be a rabid communist who’s constantly in trouble with the law.
And there you have it folks, no redeeming value other than being black.
So he gets everything handed to him, and is not adult enough to take his free ride and turn it into anything better than to be a professional victim, communist race-baiting mouth piece for another professional victim.
Perfect
maybe we can give an award call it the Jackson/Sharpton/Wright Piece Award for getting a piece of the American Dream and not deserving it.
That dude be needin' some couch time. BIG time.
You can tell this guy is armed with a serious can of seething, under the surface "pay back" he wants to open up on whitey's ass at the most opportune time.
These childhood incidents are all the root.
A little dictator we have. Yep. A litle dictator.
I recognized it the first time I laid eyes on one of his speeches. A week later, not it is confirmed with these personal background stories. These are the most dangerous kinds of libs. Who are seething under the surface for some past injustice, imagined or real, maybe even 30 years later, and are just waiting to take it out in the form of revenge. Hitler harboured hatred of Jews from his young days of learning art in Vienna....and we all know what that was converted into.
yes, but it is said he is married (with a female, unless he is in Vermont) and has a young boy.
Boy that lil shaver in the red shirt down in front looks like a happy camper. Not. Poor lil kid. Imagine growing up the child of two dysfunctional radical communists with chips on their shoulders about the world.
Hope he rebels, runs off and joins the Jesuits or Marines or something.
I grew up with a really strong hatred for bullies and people who abuse their power.
Then he says:
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.
So, he admits that he hates people who abuse their power and then brags about abusing his power. Typical lying hypocritical liberal.
I went to college on a minority scholarship. All my internships were minority internships...
The government is full of people with this background.
When did Van Jones marry Eric Idle???
Been Bullied ? How’s wright,acorn,the black panthers and other bullies treating him?
We had dodge ball boys against the girls...
The Peter Principle personified.
Fresh, was about to post the same thing. This guy is consciously evil.
From Discover the Network:
Born in 1968 in rural West Tennessee, Van Jones (whose birth name was Anthony Jones) attended the University of Tennessee at Martin.
well that explains it....:^
See tagline...
Maybe not just at sports!
ABSOLUTELY!
I’m glad you see that too!
This guy, if he survives, will be the left’s next big thing!
They’re probably already thinking of him as Zippy’s successor.
It took Van two years of facing his spiritual self, feeding his health needs, and spending time with people outside of his work to return to what he considered a stable place. His breakdown happened just a few months after Julia Butterfly Hill came down from her two year tree-sit. Both of them emotionally raw and wanting to work hard to change the world, they helped each other walk through this difficult time.
I also asked if he is ever afraid that someone will exploit his mistake and make him look bad. He says that, no, he doesn’t worry about this because he’s not so concerned with the way he’s making himself look.
He’d rather confess than accuse. “I can't rail against all the warmongers, polluters and incarcerators OUT THERE,” he says, “without first confessing to all the warmongers, polluters and incarcerators that I carry within myself.
I am just as bad and terrible and greedy and selfish as all the people in the White House whom I like to criticize and oppose. I have no doubt about that.” !!!!!!
