Wow, I didn't know this but Van Jones is a racist.....
A RWer told me so. He said google him and you'll see his racist quotes all over. I guess that's that, I have seen the light.

:eyes:

So I am curious, how come people who say the most racist things on a regular basis, are always the first to pull the race card out when they see some scary minority who says something they disagree with?

11. I started to
then I thought better of it and just blocked the guy from Twitter. I saw on his page that he just spends his time arguing and instigating fights with a bunch of people at once. Not worth it. Could even be somebody paid to disrupt for all I know.

3. Well, I've seen the light now, too, Bill ...
If a RWer said it, it must be so.

Hopefully, Glenn Beck will spell it out for everyone on a chalkboard this week - currently accepted to be the definitive proof of anything and everything.

:hi:

15. Glenn Beck is a petty bully
who thinks this will get back at colorofchange.org for busting him on his own raging racism. Let's hope it only serves to galvanize even more people into action.


Good golly, Ms. Molly - this is what right wing politics has devolved into? Crabby Appleton (rotten to the core) couldn't be pettier.



Oh yeah...I forgot. They don't believe in devolution. Ooops.

Jackasses.

4. It's very simple. Anyone who doesn't fully acknowledge the inherent superiority & rightful supremacy
of White people is obviously a racist.

14. Probably one of them light-skinned ones who figure they belong in the White peoples' club.
Same kind of Hispanics who make up the Latin American oligarchies.

5. The rightwingers I was arguing with said that Van Jones wanted to kill me because I was white.
I bet if Van Jones got to know me, he'd stop his whitey-hating ways. :eyes: Rightwingers are so stupid.

20. Latest target of people who want to control speech. This is what happens.
Edited on Sun Sep-06-09 05:27 PM by dem629
I don't know why anyone on either side of the political spectrum is surprised when someone is forced from the public eye over comments they make (or even comments that others deem "offensive"). There are people on both sides who want to monitor speech and they create situations like this. Once you go down that road, there's no turning back.

As for Van Jones, I think we'll be just fine without him. Hardly anyone knew who he was a few weeks ago anyway.

21. But, who is he? I've never heard of this person, which leads me to believe people will be fine
without him as well.

19. Racists, believeing themselves to be normal...
...naturally believe everyone else is a racist, too.
