I know right, we sound all be scared out of our mines that the Communists are coming and are infiltrating our government. Heck, I wouldn't even be surprised if some of the GOP candidates were also communists in disguise.
When I read this, I remembered the time she said about Van Jones, self-identified communist, that they'd been watching him for a long time (meaning he was a rising star for the Obama administration). She said that before he was outted as a Communist. At the time, the thought was, then how could they have not known it if they were watching him so intensely?
Now, once again thanks to Judicial Watch and FOIA, we find out that FBI files and OPM files on Jarrett show her father had Communist ties, her father in law had communist ties and her maternal grandfather did, too.
Many people of color especially were members of the communist party or communist sympathizers. This is common knowledge.
In regards to her being on the board of committees that funded housing slums, unfortunately things like that happen all the time with non-profits and CDCs who don't know what the heck they are doing when they get government money for affordable housing.
FWIW, because of the industry I work in, I have met her and I know many people who are very good friends with Valerie Jarrett. Nothing in the OP link is unknown information about her and in regards to her family and her husband's family's political activities in the past, those are not relevant to her or her position with the president.
Find me some real, unknown dirt so I can be shocked and outraged.
Also, as stated above, being a communist isn't criminal and the communist link is primarily with Jarret's parents supposedly, which means they were communist over 50 years ago.
History lesson people:
Socialism and Communism were VERY popular political ideologies for politically involved persons of color in this country in the past who didn't feel that non-whites would be given equal opportunities for economic advancement in particular under our Democratic Republican, capitalism based society.
As a result, large amounts of non-whites and even poor whites and upper income whites who empathized with the plight of the under classes, the racial minorities, and the poverty stricken supported communism and socialism as an equalizer in our society. I'm sure Valerie Jarret's parents may have been of this line of thinking. It is not surprising or uncommon.
Comrade Obama? I really don't even know how to respond to this because I think you actually believe what you just wrote.....guess we communists are coming to take over this country and make it ours. Soon we will be saluting Soviet US.
I have been reading your posts for a long time, and I agree with you, you don't know how to respond to posts containing the truth.
Facts do not matter to you, just your idealism which parallels our corrupt, America hating president...
"None are so blind as those that will not see"
Obama's empty noggin has to have somebody doing his thinking for him. Seriously, he gets his orders from way higher up and she's just there to take the fall when Obama gets blamed for the looming economic disaster. Blame the commie and not the puppet masters is what they want us to do. I doubt Jarrett has much input that's taken seriously, if any at all.
Some people couldn't see past his skin color, others were too busy getting tingles, still others bought into his santa clause act, others are jealous of the successful and thought he would actually bring them down.
So we have 'because he's black', 'Chris Matthews was in love', 'free stuff' and 'jealousy'.
That's a wingnut bingo!
