How so?

Because he dared to point out that corporations take advantage of poor neighborhoods which for some reason tended to be populated by non-whites?

Van Jones is a radical communist racist nutcase who now has his tail tucked between his legs looking for a way out of his past, much like hussein obama.

No, it won't be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression altogether. But, that's a process and I think that's what's great about the movement that is beginning to emerge is that the crisis is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both pragmatic and visionary. So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society."

It's really no surprise that Van Jones is not for capitalism. I'm not sure about his whole agenda, but both he and Obama are looking for a more Keynesian type of economics.

Quote:
Well, you know, the good thing about it is that Senator Barack Obama has come out in the past week saying that this clean energy revolution is going to be his main priority. You’re going to see something very interesting happen in American politics. We’ll call it the rise of the green Keynesians, the idea that the government is going to have to play a role in the economy, we’re going to have even more deficit spending to kind of stimulate the economy, to move us through.

I could be wrong about the two weeks. Van Jones might resign or be fired within the next few days.

This is getting hotter even faster.

After Van Jones, there will be more of Obama's staff going too.

grammy, there is no proof anywhere that MLK voted Republican or Democrat. He never promoted a candidate from either side.

The right is trying hard to twist that he *was* one because in the 60s the Dixiecrats were blocking civil rights progress.

You may have forgotten that in 1964 upon passage by LBJ of the Civil Rights Act the southern states -- the former Dixiecrats -- promptly went red and have stayed that way ever since.

Dont be fooled.

I think Van Jones is just a convenient way for Beck to go about illustrating the radical views and agenda within the 0bama administration.

I'm sure that 0bama knew just how radical Jones was, and those radical views expressed by Jones is exactly why 0bama chose him.

0bama is purposefully selecting people that hold his same radical views, and together they will set about trying to use the cover of legitimately sounding government programs to transform the country into some kind of a pseudo Marxist utopia.

If you read a lot of what Jones has said and written, he basically wants to use the power of the federal government, thru green energy and the capitalist system, to repay blacks and other minorities with some type of social justice and reparations thru green jobs.

Quote:
Uprising Radio, April 2008
Van Jones; "Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said, 'OK now we want reparations for slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages.' If we'd come out with a maximum program the very next day, they'd been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum. 'We just want to integrate these buses.'

"But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country. And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages. Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least we're not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won't be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression altogether. But, that's a process and I think that's what's great about the movement that is beginning to emerge is that the crisis is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both pragmatic and visionary. So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society."

Raw Data: Van Jones in His Own Words - Political News - FOXNews.com
They put on the facade of using a "greener America" to benefit all of America, but its really about ending "Eco Apartheid" and redistributing wealth on a massive scale.

Quote:
The hidden danger of eco-apartheid

But the real danger lies in the long term. The United States is the world’s biggest polluter. To avoid eco-apocalypse, Congress will have to do more than pass a “cap and trade” bill. And Americans will have to do more than stick in better light bulbs.

To pull off this ecological U-turn, we will have to fundamentally restructure the US economy. We will need to “green” whole cities. We will have to build thousands of wind farms, install tens of millions of solar panels and retrofit millions of buildings. We will have to retire our car, truck and bus fleets, which are based on combustion engines and oil, replacing them with plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles powered by a clean-energy grid.

S/R 45: Beyond Eco-Apartheid (Van Jones)
0bama, his administration and the democrats are not asking us if we want to do any of this, they will just ram it down our throats, while impoverishing entire generations and radically altering our economy to do it. Hell, all those windmills and solar panels will be broken down pieces of scrap metal before we can even pay for them.

Dim Bob Beckel predicts that Commie Racist Czar Van Jones will either resign or be fired by Monday.

And hopefully many more of Obama's racist, communist, crooked, thug administration will follow! Too bad that probably won't include the biggest one of all, the appointed one - Obama!
