Van Jones, Valerie Jarrett, Barack Obama & do-it-yourself vetting Updated
Scroll for updates…
Indefatigable blogger Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit dug up the 9/11 Truther record of Green Jobs czar Van Jones — and his research spread across talk radio, the Internet, and to the Glenn Beck show tonight. (Update: Hoft reports that Jones’s Truther proclivities were showing back in 2002).
A slew of bloggers, independent citizen journalists, and conservative activists have done the heavy lifting in exposing Jones’s inflammatory statements and radical ties over the last year — work that only conservative talk radio and Fox News have covered with due diligence. NakedEmperorNews/The BCast earlier today unearthed video of Jones ranting about Marxist “revolution” away from “gray capitalism”– also disseminated across Twitter, talk radio, and Fox News. The open-source “Army of Davids,” as blog pioneer Glenn Reynolds so aptly described it, is doing the job Obama didn’t want Congress to do.
Tonight, the White House is in full denial mode. ABC News reports:
A top environmental official of the Obama administration issued a statement Thursday apologizing for past incendiary statement and denying that he ever agreed with a 2004 petition on which his name appears, a petition calling for congressional hearings and an investigation by the New York Attorney General into “evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur.”
Van Jones, the Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, is Number 46 of the petitioners from the so-called “Truther” movement which suggests that people in the administration of President George W. Bush “may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war.”
In a statement issued Thursday evening Jones said of “the petition that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever.”
He did not explain how his name came to be on the petition.
Maybe a unicorn, Van’s favorite mythical creature, put it there?
Allahpundit writes, “Note well: He doesn’t deny that he signed it. He denies that he agrees with it. Which means, I guess, that he’s asking us to create a new standard for public officials by which documents that bear their signature should no longer be used against them.”
And the Washington Times reports that the Truthers assert that no one’s name was put on their conspiratorial petition without his/her permission.
Here is the key — and it is highlights a leitmotif that runs through my czar, cabinet, and nominee withdrawal chapters of Culture of Corruption: Obama czardom is the deliberate end-run around transparency. Van Jones did not just accidentally slip through the cracks of the Obama vetters. They knew what he espoused before they installed him.
Take it from Obama’s own political godmother Michelle and Barack’s consigliere and Chicago powerbroker Valerie Jarrett took full credit at the nuttroots dKos blogger conference last month (August 15, 2009) for recruiting him and closely following his career:
JARRETT:. You guys know Van Jones? [Applause. Moderator injects: "This is his house apparently."]
JARRETT: Oooh. Van Jones, alright! So, Van Jones. We were so delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House. We were watching him, uh, really, he’s not that old, for as long as he’s been active out in Oakland. And all the creative ideas he has. And so now, we have captured that. And we have all that energy in the White House.
Jarrett, as I pointed out on Sean Hannity’s radio show five weeks ago, is the self-proclaimed keeper of Obama’s urban/racial “authenticity.” The Obamas don’t make a move without her, according to their closest friends and allies. Jarrett’s praise for Jones’s Oakland activism is explicit endorsement of his race-baiting career at Ella Baker, funded by the Soros-supported Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights/Ford Foundation/Rockefeller Foundation, and his Free Mumia agitation in the Bay Area schools — where he lambasted moderate civil rights leaders for objecting to politicizing the classrooms and where his pro-Mumia allies likened supporters of murdered police officer Daniel Faulkner to the KKK.
But as I noted five weeks ago, the elites in the MSM are too busy penning 8,100-word love letters to Valerie Jarrett and her fashion sense to question her judgement, her crony deals, and power grabs in her role as the “eyes and ears” for the Obamas.
It’s the same blind and deaf media treatment they are giving Michelle Obama, John Holdren, David Axelrod, Carol Browner, Nancy DeParle, Adolfo Carrion, and on and on and on.
Nature, thankfully, abhors a vacuum. And so does the information-hungry public.
The Obama vetters have succeeded in short-circuiting congressional scrutiny and Washington oversight of unaccountable appointees over the last six months. No more. Quis custodes ipsos custodiet? Who is watching the watchdogs? John Q. Public. Do-it-yourself vetting is as easy as a Google search.
A quick rummaging will show you, for example, that Jones’s immediate boss at the Council on Enviromental Quality, Nancy Sutley, was a special assistant to document-destroying Clintonite Carol Browner — whom Mark Levin’s Landmark Legal Foundation nailed for deleting files in defiance of court orders. Browner’s EPA was held in contempt of court for the systematic file destruction. The socialist-tied bureaucrat is now Obama’s energy czar.
Throughout the Culture of Corruption book tour, I’ve repeated two simple mantras:
Knowledge is power.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Spread it. It’s working.
***
Update: White House spokesman Robert Gibbs tries to put out the fire. Jones is still working for the administration, but Gibbs says 9/11 Trutherism is not something the president agrees with. Try to square that circle.

Most people here recognize how the MSM helped Obama win the Democratic primary and the general election.
Not as many people here recognize how the MSM helped McCain win the Republican primary.
It’s too much info to put into in a comment here*, but the MSM had a lot to do with how McCain went from a 4th place finish in Iowa to “Presumptive Nominee” three weeks later!

I grew up in KCK. Everyone I know has moved south to Johnson County: Overland Park, Shawnee, Olathe. It’s sad what has become of KCK. It’s gone third world.
Birds of a feather do indeed flock together.
With that in mind I would like to take this opportunity to appoint myself the new ‘Beat the hell out of the communists/socialist Czar’.
If you are a communist or socialist I have the right as a czar to beat the hell out of you and kick your ass out of this country. You have been warned.
Hear, hear!!!
And God Bless America, real good!
I have yet to see a word about Van Jones in the Wash Post or the New York Times. Has anyone else?
Ok red…. I am complaining to the moderator.
I can’t stomache those rags. I’m glad someone subjects themselves to that punishment for the team, though.
Thanks.

So Obama’s NOT a socialists? But he would appoint this guy as a Czar?

Here is an article from MM on an investigative reporter at his best.
An Oldy, but a REAL Goody
You gotta think the other czars are wanting quick action to shut this Jones thing down. I’m pretty sure the other czars don’t want this Jones mess to cause the light to be shone on them. It may be too late though. The momentum is building and this whole czar thing is such a negative for the Democrats in general just maybe someone in the DNC is telling Obama it has to be addressed because of the political impact.
One can hope.
Back to work.
This should be our opportunity to help our president…to do the vetting he, or someone who pulls his strings, didn’t do.
Support your president, now. Choose a Czar, or any other advisor, including the Cabinet Secretaries, and dig up as much information as you can.
Forward it to Fox News or it’s affiliates, and let’s expose any threat to our president, or more importantly, to us, the People of the UNITED STATES of America.
Will there ever be a change to the endless stream of idiots, morons, racists, and other moonbats that Obama is appointing to “help” him brainwash America? The only thing Obama has going for him now is his flowery oral prowess and his feminine appeal. I’ve never seen someone so adept at stabbing himself in the back. The “death of a thousand cuts” has so much more meaning now. Keep stabbing away Barry, you are doing such a great job! My compliments!
Agent Smith talking to Czar Jones, “‘You hear that Mr. Jones? That’s the sound of your inevitability!’”
I am so proud of MM and the Conservative Press and Blogs using the Saul Alinsky playbook, Rules for Radicals. So far for the Van Jones “Hip Hop Czarrific” show, we have used Rules line items, #1, #2, #3, #4 (which happened more yesterday), #5, #8, #9, #10, and finally the all encompassing and dreaded #11.
It is so nice to see how adaptable Saul’s writings can be assimilated. I wonder how Saul’s soul has been feeling now that his rules have been shown such an effective use to a whole new MARKET?
***
A few comments on the Czar Van Jones article and some of the posts.
***
Black People have some justification for stating that the U.S. Government “caused” syphilis in them. There was a badly thought out medical study (1940′s ?) that set up and studied two groups with this disease–apparently there were a lot of Black People in both groups.
***
One group received the effective penicillin treatment–the other group received an older less effective (Salvarsan?) treatment. The intent was to evaluate the differences in the two drugs. The right answer would have been to give penicillin to everyone–bad judgement prevailed!
***
Other posters talked about how some of the more radical Black People talked about “coming to the White neighborhoods” if another Rodney King outrage occurs. A lot of the bad Black People did this during the L.A. riots. Many Korean American store owners and others defended their property and lives with guns then when the police and state government “held back” and hoped that things would get better. They didn’t–and the city burned instead.
***
There are a few things to remember about what will happen if there is a breakdown in our society in the future.
***
First–most Black People and other Americans are decent people who will respect others. All groups have a small percent of “losers” and “thugs” that will use any crisis to try to rip off and injure others. Many good Black People helped white victims during the L.A. riots–at the risk of their lives. A Black police lady and a Black minister saved lives then.
***
Second–America is an “armed up” country. The framers of our Constitution knew that there could be a breakdown of society due to war, riots, disasters, Indian attacks, etc. They gave us–all of us–the SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS to handle this type of problem. Condolezza Rice’s family defended their homes and lives this way when the racist Alabama police wouldn’t.
***
Like a wise man said, “When you go on a mission of vengeance dig 2 graves first–one for your victim and another one for yourself!” Anyone trying to attack me, my family, or my home will find out what I learned in many years of Nevada hunting and in 2 years of U.S. Army service. It’s not for nothing that many Americans–of all races and ethnic groups–are ARMING UP. Welcome to the Alamo!

Van Jones is now disclaiming any connection with the truthers… What a loser… the Obamaites can’t man-up to their own doings…
…yea …right (*)
as with most larger cities, politicians have allowed the inmates to run the asylum, and the sane move. the crime rate goes through the roof, the education system goes in the toilet, and the lazy demand more of everything. the bleeding heart socialist organizations, schools and hospitals etc, try to steer their employees into the area to keep a tax base, and they institute special taxes on workers (st louis and kc ) to prop up the “it takes a village to care for me crowd” this further drives produtivity away until you have a cess pool with three functioning jobs gubmint, schools, and hospitals.
So what exactly is the vetting process for the czars?
I hear a bus starting up.
For Obama, it’s a line of coke
Oh joy, Robert Gibss doing his Billy Joel impression………
If you can sing The International in two languages you are good to go.
So, which media whore is going to be trotted out to do the soft-focus interview, with softball questions interspersed with shots of Van Jones playing with puppies and helping elderly women with their grocery bags?
1. Katie Couric?
2. Diane Sawyer?
3. Bob Schieffer?
4. Bill Moyers?
So, according to Gibbs, “9/11 trutherism is not something that the President believes.”
As opposed, of course, to using “environmental” concerns to redistribute wealth, which is a subject in which Obama and Jones are in complete agreement.
Can Obama not be impeached for not defending the constitution because he has put into power all these radicals who have said they want to destroy our country ? Can we not impeach everyone of the Reps and Senators also cause they have done nothing to stop this ?
I suggest the backgrounds and connections of the individuals names above be researched. How many degrees of separation until you get to Obama? 1?

Section 3 of the 14th amendment could be used to remove the communist revolutionaries from our government, if we had the backbone to support, defend, and enforce it.
Obama owns the Office of the Attorney General, the State Department, Department of the Interior, and the Directorship of Homey-land Security…do you think they will do anything that doesn’t support Obama? I don’t believe they have America’s best interest at heart, rather their own, at best.
The more serious question is, does Obama own the Department of Defense, the NSA, and the Joint Chief’s of Staff? They may be our only hope of ridding this country of the speading pariah of Statist ideology…
I heard an Obama Administration supporter (a liberal attorney) on TV yesterday reaffirm that the U.S. military has the obligation NOT to follow UNLAWFUL ORDERS…let’s hope this developing situation doesn’t come down to that.
about what?
So far it looks like “We knew and we liked it. We didn’t think anyone would find out.” strategy.

“about what?”
How he uses this forum as an opportunity to over and over again link to and drum up traffic for his own blog.
Its rude and others including myself have asked him nicely to stop. He won’t. So I complained. I don’t come here to read his blog.
This is why I have been saying that a corrupt press, as we have here in the USA, is the single biggest threat to sustaining our democracy. In a “normal” world, the free press would be all over this (and the other people that you named Michelle) like white on rice. But they self-censor because they are in Obama’s pockets. Obama would not have even been elected were it not for the corrupt press.
I don’t know what can be done about this, but isn’t there Congressional action of some sort that can investigate the problem of this corruption? This is something that should be pushed the next time Repubs are in the majority of the House or Senate, because obviously dems wont agree to it. Even though these outlets are private enterprises, given their importance in our society, this must be investigated and stopped. It is easy enough to document, as Bernard Goldberg, and Ann Coulter to name just two authors, have done extensively. I am just so sick and tired of the fixed game that is the msm. These lowlifes don’t even try to hide their bias any more.

I’ve already explained (in a previous thread) that I link to my blog (rather than recreate lenghty content here) in the interests of efficiency. Would you rather skip over a single link, or 10 paragraphs of written text?
We have a difference of opinion here. We see things completely opposite.
I think it would be rude to recreate lengthy content here. If I did, I’d be turning this comment section into my blog. Instead, I link from here to what I have written on my blog, and those who want to read it, do, and those who don’t, don’t.
From my perspective, it seems like you have less of an interest in “rudeness” and more of an interest in silencing my voice here at MM.
I am becoming disgusted with myself because of the growing fear that I am becoming some sort of weird racist. I never looked at African Americans, blacks in any special way. Now when I look at them I think, “You are a socialist or a communist.” This makes me feel badly because I never felt this way before and it is the Obama presidency that has caused this change in me. The co-founder of our local tea party group is black and so I know in my heart that these thoughts are wrong and I hate myself for thinking them. Can anyone offer any help for me?
So you are a victim of censorship red? I’ll let the moderator do their job. Its not up to me to sort out your being rude from not.
You’ve been asked many times in very nice ways to stop. You can’t seem to stop. So its on to the next level for the matter.
Just found out on Drudge that this Van Jones thingy is not news on the MSM. So everybody should pipe down and go back to what they were doing before this became a hot topic on the right. There is nothing to see here, you hooligans!
Try this: “You are a
socialistracial whiner or acommunist.person that is likely a liberal democrat, who probably doesn’t like white people because of all the garbage that race baiting blacks, and white- guilt Caucasians feed you”. It may not make you feel better, but it would be a bit more accurate.Van Jones? Who’s he?
A person said one time, possibly by accident, that Bush may have wanted 9/11 to happen. Half the Republican party and all of right wing hystereriadom claims in a coordinated way that Obama is planning ongoing systematic euthanasia. I think the latter is worse.
Huh lgm? No wait, please don’t explain. I’d rather see your post in a thread about Van Jones. Really makes a great point just as it is.
Lgm, you need to change your moniker to ‘Stretch’, you’ve raised it to an art form.
Once last winter, I was walking by a snowdrift and someone, possibly by accident, peed in the snow: “Obama is a socialist or a communist” and I think the latter is worse.

Turkey: Maybe not. He seems pretty full of himself.
Axelrod/Rahm: Go set up a racism story. Whenever anyone calls out one of these tokens just claim racism.
Turkey: No one said anything racist sir. No one has mentioned his race. In fact they are treating him like he ought to be fully accountable.
Axelrod/Rahm: Look if someone holds a token accountable it is racism. Just go do it! Call racism and this will blow over.
Turkey: Yessirs.
What’s with the funny numbering on the comments?
Cue the “generated crisis”
Add 3 more banks to FDIC list so far this week
First Bank of Kansas City, one-location, $16 million
In Bank, Oak Forest, IL, 3 branches, ~$214
Vantus Bank, Sioux City, IA, 13 locations, ~$500+ million
Barack may soon need a racism czar
Seems everywhere they look they see racists
I would suggest they check the mirror
Yes we quite understand: people I have known and done business with for years will take a side glance and wonder: La Raza, Azteca, MEChA? Ten years ago that did not happen. The Victim Industry does make victims of the wrong people. We could call it the Reginald Denny effect.
No it was NOT the No Amnesty “Racist” who did this: it was John McCain, Geraldo Rivera, the MSM and the whores in the Grievance Industry.
Do the best you can do mytake-sadly that often means NOT taking chances. All too often I weep for My America-MINE- it is not Geraldo Rivera’s.
Now fly a flag on the 11th and say THE HELL WITH THE LEFT
amen
Will you look at that, the sneaky FDIC snuck in another failed bank. I should have waited till after 5 pm west coast.
Ok so add
Platinum Community Bank, Rolling Meadows, IL, total assets of $345.6 million and total deposits of $305.0 million
this from Portal Seven dot com I found to be very interesting
So this one is just gone.
No buyer surfaced and MB Financial is only helping those with government direct deposit.
Some people are going to be very unhappy.
SO if you live in this area and someone writes a check on this bank, well you can see its gone.
The above bank is number 88.
We are fast approaching the magic, not really, number 100.
We should start a pool on which bank might be that 100th bank.
At the current rate of 4 per week, approximately, we have 3 weeks. So get your guesses in early.
And oh yeah, if you have money in an institution that does not have FDIC insurance or are above the insured limit, get your head examined.
Immediately
Meanwhile Robert Gibbs think you are all silly worrying about the President’s speech to kids.
Gibbs: Furor over Obama’s speech ‘silly season’
I’m not sure if he’s calling you racist with that one or not – most school districts that don’t teach ‘Huck Finn’ do so because it uses the N word on a constant basis that gives many Libs the vapors.
Oh well, if Gibbs said so it must be true-by the Law of Averages he has to be right about something sometime. Maybe not.
Bottom line:
Obama finds Van Jones to be a useful tool in the shed. Sad, but true.
Thta FDIC did it again, add the following to todays list
First State Bank, Flagstaff, AZ, ~7 Branches, Assets ~$121.2 mil
From the FDIC site
Since the FDIC seems to be working late, I hesitate to say thats all.
Bu-bu-bu-but… the BIRTHERS…
(libmode off)
uh…that would be a Clinton legacy.
9/11 was only 8 months into the Bush administration, and they hadn’t yet located the missing “W” keys, china plates, and were still trying to get the semen stains out of the Oval Office carpet. Not much time left to dabble in truther-crap

GaMidnightRider,
One more thing, but this applies only to Obama.
Article II Section 1 states that:
Being a “Citizen” is sufficient to be a Senator, and was sufficient to be President if and only if you were a “Citizen” when the Constitution was adopted in 1787.
The Constitution makes a clear distinction between “Citizen” and “natural born Citizen”. If you weren’t a “Citizen” in 1787, then you must meet the higher standard of “natural born Citizen” in order to be Constitutionally qualified to hold the office of President.
Obama does not meet this higher standard of “natural born Citizen”.
And it’s not a “Birther” thing.
It’s a “Dualer” thing.
What makes you think “he” is a man? Matthews is definitely ugly enough to be a liberal woman.
Even if Prissy dropped trou on camera and proved he has the equipment, I wouldn’t believe it.

Scroll down the article to the “heroes & she-roes” section and take a look.
One thing for sure, after Obama throws Van Jones under the bus, if you thought the guy had a hate whitey attitude before….you ain’t seen nothin’. LOL!
This is so much fun to watch.
And while Obama is hiring all these ‘green’ experts for effect, he’s having meetings with coal companies to OK mountain top clearing, which is pi$$ing off the Sierra Club.
If my grandchildren’s taxes weren’t involved, I’d be laughing.
Instead, I’m crying.
Well, I am sure that Der Fuhrer had never heard any of his rantings, had never read any of his writings, and mos certainly knew nothing of his politics when he appointed him. After all, he sat in a church for 25 years of the man he called his “spiritual advisor” and who he claimed was like a member of his own family and people bought that he never once heard Wrights anti-American, racist, bigotted rants and knew nothing of his political beliefs or his anti-Semetic Trutherisms, why would they think he knew anything about any of these other corrupt, anti-American pieces of filth?
Isn’t it amazing just how much the “smartest most informed and in touch” President this country has ever elected doesn’t know?
But hey…I’m nothing but a racist terrorist mob guy. What do I know?
AT the risk of feeding the troll…
No one is saying Obama is PLANNING ongoing systematic euthanasia. What many are very correctly saying is that his “magical” plan to take $500 billion out of Medicare is simply not feasible and will lead to systematic denial of care to elderly. And that is de facto euthanasia. Obama and the left are either oblivious to that fact, or do not care. I find both of these possibilities disgusting and frightening.
The health care bill under consideration, which Obama supports, promotes end-of-life counseling as a cost-savings measure. To call these cost-savings counseling initiatives “death panels” is a crude but accurate assessment of the nature of the beast.
Did you know that the Secret Service won’t allow anyone with a police record into the White House, unless they are overruled by the President, the First Lady or the presidential Chief of Staff.
So who vetted this creep, and then who approved of him being let in? Obvious what the answer is, isn’t it. Another Obama friend, from the Gates cliche?
Congress should hold hearings on the whole czar parade and show the public who these people are … For once I agree with sheets Byrd, the czars are designed to circumvent the Constitution. We should object vociferously, and not allow that to happen.
For all you honkys out there Kleenex is on sale at the A&P should Van Jones disdain upset you
So… they are not letting him go? We have to swallow the fact that our president is being advised by somebody who is a self professed communist?

HI MYTAKE–the key to ridding yourself of wrong thoughts against Black (and all other) people is to see them as individuals and fellow Americans–not as members of some racial or ethnic group.
***
Yes–we remember the bad examples we see. But they are in the small minority of their groups. Most of us want the same things in life–and will respect the same for others. If you are a Christian it helps to remind yourself that GOD DIDN’T MAKE ANY MISTAKES when He created us all. And He gave us the Bible to teach us what He wants us to do in our lives.
***
My oldest son wanted to be a major league baseball pitcher when he was in High School. A good Black lady in our church had a son who was a professional pitcher in the Mexican baseball leagues. She arranged to have him meet my son in the off season and tutor him–a good, strong Christian lady who loved all people.

A few years later my son had a “run in” with half a dozen Black students in the stands at a football game. They wanted him to fight them–6 to 1 odds yet. He told me about the incident and said, “I don’t like these Black people–why are they such losers?”

I reminded him of the good Black lady at church and her son. He said, “But when I look at them I don’t see them as Black people.”

That’s the goal.

Birds of a feather flock together-a truism I imagine most every culture has it’s version of.
Read Obama’s racist screed Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance and know the heart of a race man. There is absolutely nothing we can do to accommodate such self justified rage. Despite Obama’s Typical White Grandmother’s efforts Lefty, lazy Grandpa and Frank Marshall Davis had more influence on this spoiled, narcissistic, bitter man. Add the infuence of BitterMama and America we have a problem.

But be of good cheer-it is raining so I do not have to cut the lawn-or is that narcissistic?
Right along with Thomas Jefferson’s racist screed the Declaration of Independence, oh wait, Jefferson was a slave owner, he could not have been a racist.
Note how lgm doesn’t dispute that Obama is a racist…
lgm just responds, in essence,
As if racism in the 18th century makes racism in the 21st century OK.
lgm doesn’t seem to realize that the debate over slavery was nearly as intense in 1787 as it was in 1863. The issue of slavery almost destroyed the Constitutional Convention. Yes, the anti-slavery representatives compromised with the pro-slavery representatives in order to form a “more perfect” (note: not “perfect”, but “more perfect”) union than the union that existed from 1776-1787 under the Articles of Confederation. But many of the representatives knew that the debate over slavery had not been resolved, only postponed, and it took the Civil War and the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to bring the Constitution to the point of where the anti-slavery representatives had wanted it in 1787.
Yes, Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. What relevance does that have to the modern-day racism of Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama, and Van Jones?
Van Jones Youthful indiscretions-last March, Thomas Jefferson- died (as did John Adams) July 4, 1826. Last March v 183 years. Yes old Tom owned slaves-he called it “we have the wolf by the ear and feel the danger of either holding or letting him loose.” Obama’s beloved King Abdullah legally owned slaves in 1965.The black slaves were ALWAYS casterated “in a most heinous manner (Gordon of Khartoum). What unheinous castration is I fear to ask.

Hire a Liberal. They don’t do much work but they are fun to watch spinning on their pointy little heads.
Isn’t the saying “A leopard doesn’t change his spots” applicable here?
My Take said: “I never looked at African Americans, blacks in any special way”
Neither do I, or most people for that matter. And to the poverty pimps who claim to represent them, that makes us racists. All because we refuse to believe that the the group needs special consideration. I will be the first to admit that my attitude was not always so. It took a stint in the military to really get me right. Put identical green uniforms on everybody, pay them next to nothing (1970), abuse everyone equally (basic training), and differances and pre-concieved notions seem to melt away. I just wish the term “African Americans” would go away…..and NOT be replaced by the next trendy indentifier. I don’t call myself Irish American, and except for having a laughable pathetic excuse for a nose, you would not know I have an Irish background until I said my last name. LOL.

True, but misleading. I don’t bother to dispute 95% is the bat-crazy stuff posted here. That doesn’t mean I agree with it.
For the record: Obama is not a racist.

Your philosophy – such as it is – holds that Man exists to serve the State. Therefore, you yourself are an advocate of slavery; the only functional difference between the two forms of slavery is that yours is to the collective, as opposed to a single plantation owner.
So STFU.
And you would know this how? Did not the Gates issue teach you anything about your boy? The man is a racebaiter looking for a place to drown his worm. Typical liberal, Ivy-league, chip-on-my-shoulder, condescending snot. And not really that bright after all.
Maybe you would be better off finding a cartoon character to admire.
I had a “racist” thought regarding Van Jones’s comment about all the mass school shootings being done by suburban white kids.
As I remember, the Columbine incident involved a fairly sophisticated plan developed over a long time period.
I’ll let anyone else here guess where I’m going with it and hope there aren’t any Black Panthers reading this.
Do you also think Rev. Wright is not a racist?
zero has played the race card before, but perhaps it was an inner conflict moment since he is half white. maybe he was actually taking on his white half when he made it an issue that he looked different from all other presidents, true, those huge ears are a factor and he stands out.

Being called a “Raaaacist” once had some meaning. Now it is just an empty, over-used word. If the race merchants keep milking the race card, being called a raaaacist may soon be considered a badge of honor.
You are correct. Racsists believe in the superiority of their race. Obama just hates white conservatives. So he is not a racist. He’s a bigot.
P.S. I noticed you did not deny that Man exists to serve the State. I find your position amusing, given the composition of “The State.” What you are actually saying is that you voluntarilty wish to be a slave.
