VAN'S STRAW MAN

September 5, 2009

'No black Columbines' is a straw-man argument at best.

Van Jones would like to tell his audience that blacks are more civilized than whites, but he can't make that argument even in front of his peers because of the laughter that would ensue.

Did he think the tape would never come to light? Did he fill out the Obama job application thinking he has never made any public comments that would embarrass the President?

This man is a self-admitted Communist. He admits the green movement is an avenue the government can use to redistribute wealth. Just for this, the man is radioactive and Obama should take care not to be in the same state as him.

But Van Jones is a jackass. He's a pretentious, race-baiting malcontent the likes of which we haven't seen in an administration in 70 years - and in those days, such people were tucked away and hushed up like crazy uncles.

Why can't we have a Democratic Party that has different ideas, but is still loyal to the American way of life? Why does virulent support of abortion and public health care mean opening the door for the commies, the gays, the thieves, and now the black KKK?

Mr. Jones, I guarantee you would be fired for your comments in any other administration, whether you were black or white, whether you directed your comments towards blacks or whites.

A white person using this level of rhetoric would be abandoned first by his fellow whites.

I'm guessing Van Jones said this before a solid-black audience, and he didn't even get shouted down or mobbed.
