Van Jones, self-avowed Communist and Barack Obama's 'green jobs czar,' is rumored to be resigning.
So what?
Obama has more radical, leftwing extremists already in the White House and an entire pool of these nutcases from which to choose yet another Marxist for the job.
In fact, Obama's senior political adviser who has been with him since the early days of his political career in Chicago is another extremist. Her name is Valerie Jarrett, and her views on a variety of issues mirror those of Jones, Emanuel, Lloyd, and Holdren.
It was Jarrett herself who stated she had followed Jones since his days of activism in Oakland and that she was 'happy to have captured him for White House duty.'
Jarrett, as I pointed out on Sean Hannity’s radio show five weeks ago, is the self-proclaimed keeper of Obama’s urban/racial “authenticity.” The Obamas don’t make a move without her, according to their closest friends and allies. Jarrett’s praise for Jones’s Oakland activism is explicit endorsement of his race-baiting career at Ella Baker, funded by the Soros-supported Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights/Ford Foundation/Rockefeller Foundation, and his Free Mumia agitation in the Bay Area schools — where he lambasted moderate civil rights leaders for objecting to politicizing the classrooms and where his pro-Mumia allies likened supporters of murdered police officer Daniel Faulkner to the KKK.
Thus, we see that Valerie Jarrett has the President's ear as no other adviser in the White House. And her views are as far outside the mainstream as any of the czars with whom Obama has surrounded himself.
Don't get me wrong. The resignation of Van Jones would be a major victory for conservative voices who have sounded the bell of alarm over a Communist serving out of the White House. Yet realism prevents us from an all-out celebration. Obama can simply appoint another Communist who is more discreet. And he can instruct the czars who are already in place to tone down the rhetoric so as not to arouse the suspicions and the ire of the electorate.
The problem with this Administration is that it is so far outside the mainstream of political thought in America that the citizens are prone to be fooled into thinking that a victory such as the resignation of Van Jones or the deletion of a public option from the healthcare bill are tantamount to winning the war.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The reason is that Obama has loaded up his Administration with so many extremists that they come a dime a dozen. One can easily be replaced with another, except the next time he will have learned to choose someone whose extremism is much more carefully hidden and couched in more moderate rhetoric.
And the healthcare proposal Obama wants approved will mandate a government takeover of healthcare even without a so-called 'public option.'
Americans by the millions are finally waking up to the fact that they have elected to the White House a leftwing extremist who will pleasantly smile at you while outright lying, a man who is so far outside the norm of American Constitutional thought that he is quite dangerous.
It is no wonder that hordes of parents are angry and threatening to keep their children out of school on September 8 rather than have them subjected to Obama propaganda reminiscent of the worst dictators the world has ever seen--Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, and Stalin.
This battle is far from over no matter what Van Jones does.

Obama stated that he should be judged by those that he surrounds himself with. I don't believe that Americans thought that would be professed Communists.
If you follow Michelle Malkin, you must be pretty extreme yourself.
Extremists? HMMMMMM......and what were fascist Neocons,Centrists?
Michelle Malkin? are you kidding?
Go watch Glen Beck a few more times and you will truly learn what an extremist alarmist is........
Why is it that left wing extremists are bad, but right wing extremists are okay?
I'm so sick of conservatives - JUST LEAVE F*CK-O!
Go @#$% yourself.
Sorry mike Valente, the "fascist" neo con label just doesn't work anymore and just makes you look like a tool. Cry all you want about President George W. Bush, or Vice President Dick Cheney, but what we are seeing (except for you and your lefties)now is the beginning of a socialist government like we have never seen in the USA, and you just sit by and agree with everything they say, hook, line and race baiting sinker.
At least now that President Bush and VP Cheney are out of office the Jack booted thug brownshirts have stopped knocking down your door and stealing your rights, right?
You are being made a "useful idiot" by these Chicago street thug socialists, I just hope you notice before it's too late, Cry Baby tool.
I think you're sick, Martin. No, not sick, just part of what is suddenly a do-or-die campaign by the old guard to really smear Obama as heavily as they possibly can.
BJ likes giving them to other dudes.
I'm so sick of liberals. Move to Europe already.
Wow, I've never seen this guy before. He's very fat, ugly, and pretty stupid!
We know what we got and have no idea what we're gonna get. Our eyes are wide open and can't wait for the next shoe to drop. Liberals are like ants, get the raid out. No surprises in this administration. The clock is ticking and that's our best friend.
Another angry, fat white guy afraid he's going to share with the rest of the world.
I stopped reading at "according to Michelle Malkin" - you're going to quote extreme right-wing biases at me to convince me of an extreme left-wing bias by someone? They lady probably thinks Bob Dole is a wingnut.
Michelle Malkin? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I'm sorry, but you lost me there. Isn't she the one who claimed that John Kerry volunteered for Viet Nam so he could shoot himself, earn a medal of honor and come home and throw it away? Logic would seem to dictate that there would have been easier ways to protest the war...
Just so you Examiner "writers", know. Doctors are doing really amazing work these days for patients suffering from paranoid delusions. You should check it out. Seriously.
It is amazing how short a time frame it took for the GOP (and blogs) to be hijacked by the ultra-loonie nutcase contingent.
When will you goyem learn that it's all about Israel and how we want your government to function? You are our slaves because we are the chosen people.
Tom Quinn.... love your quote.... "Obama stated that he should be judged by those that he surrounds himself with. I don't believe that Americans thought that would be professed Communists"
Surrounded by Communists? OK, bud. You either have a very vivid imagination---or are batshit crazy. Another angry, insane, endangered white guy.
What if you resigned from this rag and stopped writing? Would some other fat slob blogger be waiting in the wings?
The good think is the angry mob of conserva-nazis has whipped themselves into a frothy apoplectic frenzy and is nearing the point of losing control over their self-preservation impulses. The bad things is a few people will get hurt or killed by them before they face the firing squads for instigating, aiding, or conducting terroristic acts of treason attempting to overthrow the Constitution by force or threats of force.
Finaly some one in the press who can stop drinking the Obama-Aid and see this Socialist president and his Commi loving Gansta-government for what it is!
I am a conservative and have been for 50 years. Conservative republicans used to dominate the industrial mid west the farm belt and New England. We were interested in business, fiscal issues and stayed away from social issues.
The Republican Party, these days looks like the old democratic party, which we used to call, affectionatley, the Dixiecrats and the dummies.
I would like it if people like the reporter who wrote the piece and the those of his ilk in the media be referred to by the term that properly fits. They are not Conservatives, they are Reactionaries.
Oh look, its the astroturfers on parade. Funny how you guys accuse real people of astroturfing in flesh and blood during townhalls, while you send out your goons all over the internet. Yeah, we know better. "israel rocks" Just another leftard poseur trying to conjure up anti semeticism. Noticed a few others pulling out the "old white guy" card. How dare he have an opinion because he's caucasian, and therefore we already know he's evil. Ha. Keep exposing yourselves.
To quote Winston Churchill "If your not a liberal when your young, you have no heart. If your not a conservative when your old, you have no brain." Dig up what some of these people did when they were in their 20s and say that they are radical extremists? Kind of a stretch.
Hello Anthony G. Martin, brain dead parrot stereotype (white, old, etc) of the right wing nuts. Quoting from an idiot like Michelle Malkin, who believes that it was ok to arrest Asians during World War II without reason other than racism and hold them until the end of the war and thought Arabs should get the same treatment today, has no credibility. Sean Hannity is pretty stupid too, he seriously hates on Obama for what type of mustard he chooses to put on his burger!
If this were 4 years ago, and Bush had appointed a self described "rowdy white nationalist" ex-convict then these leftards would be singing a different tune. But that's par for the course, the usual hypocracy. We already saw the forgiveness alloted to Obama's 20 year friendship with Reverend Jeremiah "white people created AIDS" Wright and his lifetime achievement award pal Louis "whites aren't even human" Farakhan.
Go left wing "extremists"! We could get a lot more done w/a lot more of us in office.

Ah, and like clockwork, there it is again. How dare you be white,(omg) and...and...old! Why, you're by default just plain evil so that ends that! I just love these double standards.
These so called "leftists" ought to take notice of Van's accusations against his fellow leftists, the "white environmentalists" that are deliberately POISONING people of color! Well, well, white "liberal" environmentalists, what say you? Oh wait, you thought...that by calling yourselves Environmentalists and doing your token bellyaching against "The Man" that you had absolved yourself of the white guilt...???
Aw, poor things.
...really? Marxist?
This is some of the most ridiculous horsehockey I've ever seen published in an established publication, and I don't even have any unrealistic expectations of the Examiner.
The blind rage from the right never seems to end, even to the point of smearing everyone as "socialists" - as outdated a term as one is likely to find. And quoting from the increasingly incoherent Michelle Malkin? One can understand the fury and bitterness at Obama - and all the millions who voted for him - but to make stuff up?

Ah, so Malkin's hypothetical call to peacefully contain populations in crisis is incredibly offensive but yet I suppose Holdren's hypothetical crisis management of his willingness to forcibly round up women and force abortions on them or sneak sterilizing agents into "females only" just sits well with you. Hm, I wonder if that has anything to do with your "salladin" nickname, and the...you know..tendency of your part of the world to treat its women like cattle. No doubt easy to see why Holdren's ideas are appealing to you. Keep em coming Leftist hypocrites! I'm loving this.
Van Jones. What exactly does he know about creating green jobs? Seriously, with all of the amazing talent in America this is the guy he picked? How is he going to advise anyone on anything? Has the man even had a real job before doing anything remotely related to the workforce? The amount of hot-air this man spouts pretty much cancels out the relevancy of his own appointment.
i'm not a conservative but this van jones is still an embarassment and a reminder of why i left the dems. i dont want him to resign. let him keep his job and lets see what a joke he proves himself to be. forcing him out will bury the story.
Either way he'll be working towards his radical goals with Obama's help and support.
I have never had a friend or associate or known anyone who has had ONE, as radical and anti-American as are MANY of Obama's close friends. It is obvious that he has a deep rooted radical, leftist, revolutionary core and has feed it all through his formative years. He has admitted to seeking out Marxist professors and about his uncomfortableness with people of the white race. He does not hesitate to surround himself with outrageous zealots who are anti-police, anti-military, anti-white and anti-capitalist. Sunstein, Jones, Lloyd, Holdren all head up committees and advise Obama - all espouse radical beliefs. When Obama said, he never heard Rev Wright say anti-American things for 20 yrs, he didn't know Wm Ayers tried to kill people in the 60s, he didn't know Tony Rezko's was a criminal when he bought his house from him (at a price far below market), we should have all realized that this guy is a liar. Now he is President and his evil crew are trying to destroy this great country.
Out of objectivity I have to check in on what the right wingers are saying from time to time. Maybe, I think, they have something legitimate to say. But then I run across vile, vapid, ignorant drivel like this, and I realize, no, I'm really not missing a thing.
Out of objectivity, and fairness, I have to check in on what the Left wingbats are saying from time to time. Maybe, I think, they have something legitimate to say. But then I run across vile, vapid, ignorant drivel like this, and I realize, no, I'm really not missing a thing.
Yes, I know... I am insulting wingbats the universe over. So be it...
What's most telling about his resignation is that it's not being blamed on his VERY recent communist background, but on conservatives for "bashing" him.
Goooooooooooooooo Glenn!!! Peeps are hearing you, and Thank You
