One would be very hard pressed to make your argument. I'm pretty sure it wasn't McCain who was turned into a monster that no one could trust by his opposition.

Obviously the goal of both sides is to disparage the opposition, but to suggest that liberals are superior at this to conservatives is a big stretch. Conservatives hold tight to strict values and, therefore, it's far easier to paint opposition as the "other".

And no, I'm not going to provide you with the links, go search you tube for van jones, you'll find them. He also fully believes that the wealth needs to be taken from the whites and given to the blacks. How's that for radical? It doesn't sound like he lost his 60's radical intentions to me, All he did was change his approach and in the process he's fooling most of you.
I've watched his videos. I also watched the ones Glenn Beck highlighted. While he shouldn't have called people a-holes, I saw absolutely nothing to suggest any validity to your accusations.

At some point, Robertgibbs, you're going to have to stop with the empty rhetoric and start providing evidence for your claims.

I wait with bated breath.

But it's on page 1 at Faux News: "Say Again, Republicans Are What?"

"Jones' remarks were recorded in a video from February that was posted to YouTube.

"He made the remark during an energy lecture in Berkeley, Calif., after a woman in the audience asked him why President Obama and congressional Democrats were having trouble moving legislation -- even though Republicans, with a smaller majority, didn't have as much trouble earlier in the Bush administration."

February So Faux's been scrabbling frantically to find whatever dirt it can to continue to demonize Van Jones....lol.
That link worked for me this morning so maybe something other than what you think and I hope has happened. Maybe Beck will be heard on TV and only on tv. This kind of thing has happened on YouTube before.

I think they dig up these winners at the RNC (Radicals National Convention)

As I previously stated, I have and I have come to the conclusion that Van Jones has a strong vision for our nation - using the free market to build a sustainable future that works for everybody.

You seem to disagree with that evidential conclusion, so the burden falls on you to support your opinions.

No fair waiting for Glenn Beck at 5, either.

If he is still communist and a leftist radical, he's not showing it very well

I love how you all parrot the Glenn phrase, "an avowed communist".
I see that you haven't watched any anti-Jones videos where he said those words himself. Oh yeah they are there but I won't be doing any searching to find one because you have to have it in writing.

No one's denying that he was one, but what year? '92? His work seems to have come a long way from his school days.

I have been trying to do that for days and you don't want to see Beck so you demand it in writing. If you can't watch Beck you may be able to make it right up to the end of the US without realizing what has been going on.
