What's everyone think about this guy? Self avowed Communist, who is a special advisor to the President? He has some outrageous quotes out there, and is not who I would want advising the President about anything.

When asked if he were Marxist, he replied, "How's that capitalism working for ya?"

Great answer, Van Jones.

A somewhat different perspective.. the truth is somewhere in the middle.. anyone who listens and believes what Glenn Beck says is a tad insane.. there are some links at the bottom of the page if you want more info...

Van Jones calls republicans a$s holes, great commentary from the White House, they dig their grave deeper as each day passes, they are entering a state of panic, Obama will sink lower in public approval than Bush, maybe even Nixon.

Van Jones is a self-professed avowed Communist. That isn't something that Beck made up. It's not something that he jumped to some conclusion about. Van Jones IS a Communist. Do you think it's appropriate for an avowed Communist to be a special advisor to any POTUS?

If you choose to believe this so be it... have a load of fun.. obviously you choose to listen to the half truths without investigation.. you provide no links, nor do you corraborate you statement.. yea that has a lot of credibility

Eco Capitalists usually do not profess communist ideology... but if Beck says it, that trumps about everything.

If he was advising the big guy on Football, sure that would be inappropriate. Obviously if Obama needs some insight into the intricacies of the 2 deep zone he should call BB, if for some reason he needed a full timer to provide such insight then Tedy and Rodney have some free time.

You've made three posts to this thread and still haven't commented of the advice this guy's given. Don't you think the quality of the advice is at least somewhat relevant?

Communist->BAD!

Is not a real informative debate position.

Is a quote from Van Jones good enough for you guys?

"“I met all these young radical people of color – I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of… I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary…I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th..By August, I was a communist.”

There you go. Right from the horse's mouth. Van Jones IS a communist, and he is a special advisor to the President. I don't care what he is advising him on, a self avowex Communist should have no place in our government.
