In the wake of green jobs czar Van Jones resigning, Donna Brazile comments: "I don't know if it's 15 or 30, I don't care if it's 5... I don't know the vetting process at the White House, all I know is that if you've made a controversial statement, and you're a liberal, you are labeled as a radical, and that's wrong."

She adds to all conservatives: "There's nothing wrong with liberals."

Ensign is an adulterer
Sanford is an adulterer and liar and mis-manages taxpayer dollars
Beck, Rush, Bachmann incite violence and spew hate speech
Bush and Cheney promoted torture and authorized torture -- and are responsible for the killing of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians and over 4000 American military service persons...

And then when a Democratic President hires an intelligent person that is an expert on 'green jobs and the environment' just because her has called the republicans ASSHOLES and signs a petition that calls for full disclosure of what happened on 9/11 --- the American people and Beck get in the streets with pitch-forks calling for his head, he must resign? Something is very wrong with this picture!

I must say thought that Arianna Huffington is correct in her latest post, that Van Jones will be more productive NOT in the Obama Administration that he would have been within it.


Watch out folk -- the gloves are off and President Obama will be coming out this week swinging at the republicans!

p.s. I wish that ya'll could rec my commment, I think it is pretty good ;)
LOL

and it was outstanding

One point I'll pick up on, though. It's been reported that http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ei=vyemSq6gG9eBkQXAhKCMCQ&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=one+million+iraqis+dead&spell=1">a million Iraqis have died due to the invasion.

AlterNet's Executive Editor Don Hazen says the same thing as Arianna: http://www.alternet.org/story/142460/5_reasons_why_van_jones_and_progressives_are_better_off_with_jones_out_of_the_white_house/">5 Reasons Why Van Jones and Progressives are Better Off With Jones Out of the White House

I woud like to see more Van Jones. Maybe I live in a hole, but I had not seen of him before the controversial "Republicans are Assholes" comments. I still argue the "Truth Defense" and was hoping that the media would have not have covered it the way they did. Instead, I was hoping that it would spur some level headed discussions that ask the question: "Are Republicans Assholes?". It would make for a great RoundTable discussion on Meet The Press. If there is any apology necessary in that comparison, it would have to be to the assholes.

A serious Round Table discussion on Meet The Press considering whether Republicans are assholes or not. :spray:

:rofl:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

What do they want to conserve anyway, the Dark Ages? The crusades? The illusion of their virility? White supremacy?

Liberals are the ones conserving land, the Constitution and truth in the media.

It is ass backwards, the Propaganda has virtually lobotomized the language centers of people's brains.

to bring guns into volatile situations where the toxic atmosphere is created by conservatives. It's not radical to shout down anyone with a reasonable position. It's not radical to invade and occupy a nation that neither harmed nor threatened harm. It's not radical to claim God speaks directly to you.
It's not radical to squander our national treasure on ineffective defense projects. It's not radical to deny health care for millions in order to pump up the campaign coffers of cooperative legislators.
Anyone who thinks Fox News, Rash Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Aryan Annie Coulter, Glenn Beck, Dick Cheney, et al aren't radical has to be on dope or insane or just plain ignorant.

they're still evil, eh, (right)-wingnut?

:sarcasm:

liberal (lîb´er-el, lîb´rel) adjective
Abbr. lib.
1.a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded. c. Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism.

What is a conservative? The antithesis of a liberal; authoritarian, dogmatic, bigoted, against reform or progress, intolerant and close-minded.

At least liberals and progressives doesn't have to go round waving guns to make our point. Something far more.. radical.

seemed he was awfully involved in the white house.

for their corporate ties by liberals. But Obama keeps them on. Van Jones makes a minor mistake and Obama allows him to go. What side is Obama on? Conservatives with questionable ties to big business stay in spite of criticism, but a liberal who uses questionable language once is let go. I see a pattern here, and it is not the change I worked and voted for.

It's too bad you don't know what a radical is.... radical is from the word meaning "root" -- Radicals get to the ROOT of the problem, and work on that.

Maybe that is your problem, Brazille.

liberals are not radicals will stick. Cause it is the truth.
