Poll question: Van Jones
Edited on Sun Sep-06-09 11:01 AM by ruggerson
Is Van Jones an innocent victim of a rightwing smear campaign or was he careless about his words and deeds and signing of petitions he later disavowed, thus essentially doing himself in?

18. Many years ago
I was on the crew of a documentary film being made at a historic mental hospital. Some of the older patients would wander over from the new facility. One day, an old gentleman approached me. "The war is over." he stated. The Viet Nam War had just ended, so I agreed. "I just got the message by carrier pigeon." he said. "Van Johnson sent it." It continued to be an interesting conversation to say the least. Oh, and I am banging my head on the desk over Van Jones.

6. It's amazing that Glenn Beck has more power than Barack Obama
Of course, if Obama was strong, this wouldn't be happening.

9. I don't think it was Glenn Beck
It was the Washington cognoscenti. Sometimes they may happen to agree with Beck. More often than not, they don't.

7. Shane come back!
Actually Alan Ladd played Shane, but don't worry. If he could handle Jack Palance, he can handle Glenn Beck.

12. It's okay
We'll let it pass this time. But don't let it happen again. There will be a quiz later and the results will go down on your permanent record.

14. Could be, but we are all missing the far more important question.
Just what exactly was going on between Shane and Jean Arthur? I have always suspected a little hanky-panky.

16. Now that you mention it...
As Shane rides away, Joey calls after him, "Pa's got things for you to do! And Mother wants you. I know she does." The movie closes with Joey shouting "Shane! Come back!" as he watches Shane riding into the mountains.


You can't fool kids.

11. Neither . . . Van Jones is a victim of Democratic SPINELESSNESS
Obama should have fired Rahm Emanuel (does ANYONE really think Jones "resigned) instead. In my opinion, Emanuel, with his sell-out-any-principal-in-an-effort-to-win-reelection mindset, is behind the thumping Obama is currently taking on health care.

It is time for Democrats to stop CAVING IN to whiny Republican ASSHOLES - its the truth, why should we apologize for saying it?

Democrats WON the fucking election - its time to start acting like we WON!

19. No no, triangulate, co-opt and for the love of god keep your powder dry!
Don't actually do anything. There's no money in it.
