Super Van? WaPo Describes Van Jones as 'Legendary' and 'Towering' Figure of Environmental Movement

Even when an Obama aide is forced to resign after it's revealed he's so radical he signed his name to 9/11 conspiracy theories and belonged to Marxist revolutionary groups, The Washington Post is still buttering him up as a "legendary" and "towering" figure of the environmental movement.

This leaves the question: how radical then, is the environmental movement? (And yet, notice that's the Post's indirect way of suggesting someone's a left-wing warrior.) On page 3 of Saturday's newspaper, reporters Garance Franke-Ruta and Anne Kornblut used the L word, legendary:

Jones, a legendary figure in the environmental movement, has worked for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, as special adviser for green jobs, since March.

It shifted to "towering" after Jones resigned. From the overnight story by Garance and Anne:

Jones, a towering figure in the environmental movement, had worked for the White House Council on Environmental Quality since March.

In today's afternoon dispatch by Garance and Scott Wilson, the "towering" remained, even as the radical views and alliances are explained:

Jones, a towering figure in the environmental movement, had issued two public apologies in recent days. One was for signing a petition in 2004 from the group 911Truth.org that questioned whether Bush administration officials "may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war," and the other for using a crude term to describe Republicans in a speech he gave before joining the administration.

His previous involvement with the now-defunct Bay Area radical group Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), which had Marxist roots, also emerged as an issue.

It makes you wonder how offensive Van Jones would have to be for his reputation to come back to the environmentalists' precious Earth.

Comments: Beyond comprehension that writers at the Washington Post are still defending this Communist being in the Administration. Guess according to their standards, we shouldn't have objected to a Communist being paid with our tax dollars. How far left are some writers at the Washington Post?

"Shadow Government: What Obama Doesn't Want You To Know About His Czars" Book Set For Mid-September Release from National Republican Trust PAC

ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The founders of the National Republican Trust PAC (NRTP), Scott Wheeler and Peter Leitner, are set to release a powerful expose on Barack Obama's unelected shadow government.

Many of Obama's 35 "czars" might never survive even the current Democrat
majority Senate scrutiny or obtain security clearance.

-- Adolfo Carrion, former Bronx Borough President with a
history of taking bribes and putting the interests of his donors
above those of the community was named Director of Urban Affairs
by Obama.

-- Ron Bloom, labor leader, is at the helm of the unprecedented
government interference into the private sector. With no real
experience in the auto industry, Bloom is the successor of the
even less qualified Steven Rattner, who left his post amidst an
SEC investigation into his private equity firm. Bloom is a former
investment banker who made his name working with the United
Steelworkers union.

-- Van Jones, a self-avowed communist, was appointed Special
Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White
House Council on Environmental Quality (Green Jobs Czar). (RESIGNED 9/5)

-- Kevin Jennings was appointed to be Safe Schools Czar. Jennings
has actively promoted homosexuality in elementary schools, middle
schools,high schools and on college campuses and has distributed
graphic material to children as a way to support his crusade.

-- Carol Browner, Obama's Energy Czar, was listed as a
commissioner in Socialist International, the worldwide
organization of social democratic, socialist and labour parties.

Comments: Reuters is reporting on the new book due out in the middle of September that will shine the light of day on the Obama Czars. Now that the Communist Jones has resigned, more research into the Czars is mandatory. Obama is running a shadow government and just who is pulling the strings? Soros, Ayers, Dohrn, Wright, Farrakhan, Wade Rathke, Franklin Raines , Democracy Alliance? Quite a radical group standing behind Obama along with Axelrod and Emmanuel. Where is the investigative media? Crickets chirping.

If anyone in the media dares to bring out the facts on Obama and/or his Czars, they are attacked ruthlessly like Glenn Beck. Why? Where was the mainstream media when an avowed Communist was appointed and paid by our tax dollarsl? Are many members of the media so liberal that they support a Communist in our Government? Will they ever admit they made a mistake by not vetting Obama when he first said he was running for President?

The questions will eventually be answered by people willing to stand up and find the truth. The HUGE question is if the MSM will print the real truth or try to cover like they have that Jones was the object of smear campaign. How can you be smeared for having your own (Jones) words outed?
