Let us be clear that Van Jones' resignation is not a defeat for the Obama administration, but it's a defeat for anyone who believes in public service.

What we underestimated was the power of the fact that both Jones and Obama are black. Yes, the hysteria was about politics, but it was enabled by race.

These are troubling times for those who supported Barack Obama for President.

Van Jones' resignation isn't a testament to the frenetic dry-drunk tirades of a delusional Fox employee. It is due to the Obama administration's failure to rightfully and necessarily defend a valuable member of its team.

Van Jones was one of the only people in the White House who came out of grassroots movement work and not just political/partisan hack work.
Beau Friedlander | Posted 10.22.2009 | Politics
Van Jones was the best person for the job he just relinquished. He would have helped Republican lawmakers in their districts. He would have created jobs. He would have made a difference.

Do President Obama and his top staff have the strength to stand up to the right-wing attack machine, and will they carry out the agenda Americans elected them to accomplish?

For now, Murdoch is making a short-term buck on Beck's race-baiting. Longer-term, it's a losing corporate strategy.

Sadly, the Obama administration appears to be wavering in its support of Jones. This is not acceptable.

We have obtained "leaked footage" of President Obama's speech to our nation's children. Take a look. But be warned, it may shock and horrify you.

Meg wants you to know that, when it comes to Van Jones, although she "got to know him very well" and she's "a big fan," she also hates everything he stands for, and doesn't know him from Adam Clayton Powell.
David Roberts | Posted 10.20.2009 | Green
Van Jones is certainly guilty of poor judgment, but by no even mildly charitable interpretation is he "a truther," like the media is now saying.
Chris Kelly | Posted 10.20.2009 | Politics
Meg Whitman once said something nice about Van Jones, which didn't mean anything at the time, but now proves she supports collectivism and miscegenation.

If the conservative movement were smart it would claim Van Jones as one if its own. But then, it's not smart. It's Glenn Beck.

Fox News must take him off the air. There is no longer any justification for honoring his contract. He poses a danger to society. He is mouthpiece for the worst tendencies in right wing politics.

Van Jones draws a distinction between "cheap patriotism" and "deep patriotism." I highly recommend that chapter to Glenn Beck.
