http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/09/29/van_jones_were_going_to_build_a_progressive_counterbalance_to_tea_party.html

Van Jones, president of the progressive organization Rebuild the Dream, joins The Last Word to discuss what Washington should be doing about jobs. Jones calls the US' deficit problem "phony" and made up.

"Hold on to your hats, we're going to have an October offensive to take back the American dream and rescue America's middle class," Jones told MSNBC's "The Last Word."

Jones warns of an "American Fall" like there was an Arab Spring.

Jones was President Obama's "green jobs czar" until he resigned in fall of 2009.

The headline is more inflammatory than anything....

They still don't understand (and never will) that the Tea Party is not something that was 'ginned up' from a centralized point, like his Progressive rally planned for next week.

I wished Glenn Beck was still on so I could keep up with Van Jones.

The Tea Party is We The People. Thus, this Administration is at war with the American People would be my take on it.

I worry that “american Fall” should be taken literally.

Agreed, nobody focused attention on these clowns like Beck. I think he overestimates their power sometimes but its better to overestimate than underestimate or ignore.

Didnt they have TWO rallies last year to “take back America”?

The only thing they did was waste money and trash the Mall.

Americans do not subscribe to the mob violence mentality, that I’m sure they are trying to emulate from the Europeans, if “October Offensive” is meant to insinuate that.

If it is going to come, better it should come this fall than next.

Or worse, in 2013, when much of the obama agenda is being timed to introduce itself, like a worm in our economy and in our society.

Bring it on. In my time. That my children may have a hope to live in peace, and not in submission.

The Van Jones Lexicon:

“American Dream” = Welfare/income redistribution for all oppressed minorities! Revenge on the rich!

“middle class” = union thugs, government workers

To Comrade Jones: “Go ahead.....make my day!”

BTW ever notice how Van Jones repeats himself?

“Give them the wealth! Give them the wealth! Give them the wealth!” (followed by parrot squawk)

And yada yada yada. They’re starting to get rather shrill over there on the left, and it’s not from a sense of impending triumph in 2012. In fact, they would cancel the elections and rule by executive order, and it is burning Obama up to have to remind his “Yes We Can!” audiences that he cannot simply dissolve the democratic process with a stroke of his pen.

“Stroke of the pen, law of the land, kinda cool.” - Paul (The Forehead) Begala, circa 1999.

Spoken like a man who buried himself in credit card debt.

No wonder he is so bitter.

Big mistake, FRiend; Beck didn't overestimate them a whit. What happened was that they withered in the glare of daylight.
Without widespread awareness of their plans, they would grow out of control like some hideous fungus.

Van Jones makes a thinly-veiled threat of violence against the Tea Party members-—can he be arrested?
