Rick is right that there are always a few kooks who land in government under every administration — but Van Jones is NOT a kook.

What we have found out about him in the past few days or so — and I’m sure this is only a small sampling from the guy’s activities and words over the past 20 years — is that he’s a man of thr far Left, not a crazy conspiracist. The “truther” petition was only a logical part of a radical world view where the US is the imperialist power which is, by definition, always to be opposed by “progressives” (as Marxist-Leninists) have used that term over the past 60 years. Similarly, while the corpses were still burning in the wreckage of the WTC, the Oakland demo in which Jones played a major role was devoted to denouncing “US violence” against Palestinians and people of color everywhere.

These views are commonplace among the assortment of self-styled radical groups on the American Left — communists of several flavors, Trotskyites, anarchists, etc — and a boiled down version of the same are fashionable among left-leaning students and professors.

What cannot be understood easily is how a man wedded to this world view got a policy-making job at the White House.

As a Democrat, that’s very unnerving. My party is NOT a party of radicalism and detestation of America. Even on the upper West Side of Manhattan, you’d have a hard time finding many people who’d agree with the “progressives” at that Oakland demo. It’s important not to let this slide just because Jones quit. The person or people responsible for letting this guy get close to power should be found out and at least chided by the Pre§ident.

@Jackson:

What was Hannity right about? That disreputable in the Obama Administration demonstrate that Obama himself is disreputable?

Are you SURE that’s the standard of proof you want to apply to administrations? If that’s the yardstick, fine. How many Bush administration personnel were implicated/convicted in Abramoff (or just general bribery and criminal behavior), or or being incompetent idealogues (Goodling), etc., et. al.? Lets’s use your yardstick . . . what can we “conclude” about the administration?

Trying to condemn by association will not got well for your position, methinks.

I assume VJ is a truther that should be canned and ostracized, bur the Rense article is beside the point. The march to demand investigation was before the 9/11 commission and, IIRC, it was very much an open question whether Bush would permit a full investigation.

[...] Right Wing Nut House: “It perplexes me that people like Jones, whose radical past is filled with racist, bigoted, statements against white people as well as nutty beliefs that corporations are trying to kill black people, are even seriously considered for important posts in government.” [...]

“…Bush DID know…”

Are we still on this? Seriously? This garbage still passes as discourse? I know this is the internet, but can’t we all agree to put a little effort into debate? Holy Moses, this gets old.

As for Van Jones, I think cynical opportunist just about nails it. I think he took his views to where the passions on the left were at any given moment. Frankly, a “Green Job” czar actually seems a little tame for him. “Going Green” is almost too mainstream to fit his style. I suspect he jumped at the prospect of power and the high-visibility nature of the position. That high-visibility will likely end up being his downfall as well.

This is a loser for you righty wingers. Bush DID know that “Bin Ladin was determined to attack the United States.” Why do we know that? Um, because he received a memo with that title and his terrorism analyst Richard Clarke briefed Bush that Bin Ladin planned to use hijacked planes to do it. Did Bush remember anything Clarke told him? Probably not. Did Bush care about anything that Clarke told him? Well, obviously not. Bush went on one of his three week brush clearing and biking vacations IMMEDIATELY after getting briefed. And did nothing for 2 months about the threat.

No, Bush did not allow it to happen. He was too intellectually deficient and just plain lazy to have an active role.

Serious question, Chuck, because I don’t know. Does Phelps seek the destruction of the United States?

heh. That is only my interpretation of his insanity. An in depth study is impossible due to my gag reflex.
