Re: Moving Van

Confirming Chris's post about how Van Jones represents mainstream environmentalism (an oxymoron), The Washington Post today describes him as "a towering figure in the environmental movement."

The Washington Post never covered the Jones story until he resigned. None of the Main Stream Media covered the Jones story. So Washington Post readers did not know anything about Van Jones until he resigned. We are a center right country. The Post plays to roughly 1/3 of readers, and cannot understand why they are going broke. The uninformed in flyover country could figure this one out, but the elite in the Post will go down without a clue.

He's black! He's an "untouchable," didn't you know?

Sheesh. When are you racists on the right going to realize that black people can never err, they never make mistakes, they are never charlatans, frauds, jerks, thugs, fools or blind ideologues. In fact, African Americans are a superior race, incapable of having of anything less than sterling characters.

So back off, bigots.

Louis Farrakhan/Van Jones/Odumbma umbilical triad feasting off the same hate thread. Pillars of disgust that will crumble by their own destruction. America watch and wait as they self destruct.

When the conservative watchdogs drove the "Van" out of Washington they should have filled it with Jarrett, and Emanuel. Oh well, we'll need a big truck when we move all the socialists out.

What a joke this entire administration is! The American people are finally awake. And of course, Obama NEVER heard Van Jones say any of these racist comments. It cracks me up how blacks claim that the whites are racist - its the blacks who are the REAL racists. Clean out the WH now! I doubt Obama will make it 4 years.

re: J. Kelley, Just a gentle note to let you know that not all of us who read the Washington Post limit ourselves to a single news source. Thanks,
