Meet the Green Czar, Who Is A Red

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  July 14th, 2009 at 10:30 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Consistent with Barack Obama’s leftist ideology and affinity for communists — remember the man he identified as his father figure growing up was a communist who took Obama to communist party meetings, the administration has chosen a man from San Francisco to be Obama’s “green czar.”

It is probably a good thing for the green czar, Van Jones, that he won’t have to go through Senate confirmation. It turns out he’s a member of the communist party with an arrest record.

Jones himself stated in a 2005 interview his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class “justice,” and that he was a “rowdy black nationalist,” and a “communist.”

I believe Obama is going to start wearing thin with the American people as more and more of these types of people come to light.

This comes on the heels of car czar Steve Rattner leaving to “spend more time with the family” before he potentially heads off to jail over a pending securities investigation.

    Well at least Hussien Obama is finally surrounding himself with people like himself and so identifying what he is. A shame the media won’t report it but then the process of revealing what they are is also in play.
    Missing for now, a few islamic murderers to round off the chamber of horrors that is Hussien’s real cabinet. Then a Gulag to complete the picture.
    The so called “Reality Based Community”, that collection of fools that was led wherever the media desired, must be loving it.
    Ain’t having morals great ?

    …(or whatever the hell they call her) is Carol Browner, whose participation on a committee of the Socialist International had to be scrubbed from their website upon her appointment.

    “Change”, indeed. Let’s “Hope” there’s something recognizable left of America when these idiots are done with it.

    I understand that in England, they call them watermelons: green on the outside, but red on the inside (environmentalists to all appearances, but Communists at heart).

    This Van Jones czar is rich, he’s like a “green” Rev. Wright. I especially enjoyed his rant against clean coal here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlOv8RCkcXE

    (07:35) “I’m for clean coal. But if we’re going to have clean coal, let’s have a couple other things. We could have clean coal or, we could power the country with clean coal, or we could have unicorns pull our cars for us all day. We could have that too. Equally fictitious, equally fantastical, equally ludicrous. You know. We could have the tooth fairy bring us our energy at night. Completely ludicrous.

    Yes, let’s squash that and the thousands of jobs that would go with it in places like Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio.

    And he has such great mentors like Gavin Newsome and Jimmy Carter, as mentioned here in his 2008 Netroots keynote address:
    http://www.netrootsnation.org/node/1056

    “We cannot drill or burn our way out of this (energy) crisis, that’s a non-starter. (They) have to be off the table.” “(We can create) thousands, millions of jobs (through) weather stripping buildings (across America) and planting trees.”

    Change has come but I lack the hope it proclaims.

    In case the Breitbart embed code did not work:

    Van Jones is sooooo articulate.

    Thank you.
