Van Jones- Canary In The Coal Mine?

Wonderboy adviser Van Jones has landed in some pretty hot water this week. Even moderate commentators are catching on to this guy's nutty background, as evidenced in this recent web posting.

Then there is this on a Fox News site,

"Van Jones, the Obama administration's "green jobs" adviser, apologized Wednesday for calling Republicans "assholes," saying the comments were made before he joined the administration and "were clearly inappropriate."

Jones had told a group of listeners earlier in the year that the reason Republicans are stonewalling the president is because they're "assholes," remarks that were recorded in a video and posted to YouTube.

He made the remarks in February during an energy lecture in Berkeley, Calif., after a woman in the audience asked him why President Obama and congressional Democrats were having trouble moving legislation -- even though Republicans, with a smaller majority, didn't have as much trouble earlier in the Bush administration.

"Well, the answer to that is, they're assholes," Jones said, to uproarious laughter. "That's a technical, political science term."

The questioner responded, "I was afraid that that was the answer."

But Jones said that, even though Obama is "not an asshole," others have to step up the fight.
"Now, I will say this. I can be an asshole, and some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity," he said."

Here is the YouTube video of that event.



Of course, if a Republican administration member were found to have behaved like this, you can bet that CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times, though relatively small in their influence now, would hound that person from office.

Where are those media guardians of our Republic on the Van Jones case?

As usual, MIA. They only watch out for conservatives whom they don't like. Liberals always get a pass.
