UPDATE: Van Jones resigns. I guess he wasn't the Van Jones that Obama knew.
No doubt the President appointed Van Jones for his specialism in that particular brief with which he was charged
It was a quick exit indeed, but when so many people view Obama as a Marxist race baiting thug, having a literal Marxist race baiting thug in the administration probably isn't a good idea.
Is eco-capitalism synonymous with Marxism these days?
It's not like there were never Trotskyists, who morphed into neo-cons
Yeah, except this guy was a self-described communist who was leader of STORM (Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement), which on the night of September 11th held a vigil "mourning the victims of U.S. imperialism around the world", a 9/11 "truther", compared George W. Bush as a "crackhead who licked a crackpipe for a fix" who has said that only suburban white kids are responsible for shooting up schools.
Of course, given his participation in a pragmatic,
center-left, post-racial administration, I guess everything is forgiven right?
EDIT: How do you use smilies?
