The Van Jones resignation: “Coarse rhetoric” only OK if you’re a Republican
September 6, 2009 at 9:05 am by David Warner

It’d be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous.

Flame-throwing and name-calling are all fine if they come from the right, but let a Democrat — or worse, a black Democrat — or still worse. a black Democrat with a green agenda working in the Obama administration — let that guy call Republicans names, and WHOA! He has got to be STOPPED.

And worse yet, let that black Democrat be the founder of a group that led a succesful advertiser boycott against the crazy-like-a-Fox right-wing media opportunist Glenn Beck, a guy who gleefully throws around absurd accusations like calling Obama a racist — and well, that black Democrat not only has to be stopped, he has to be publicly tarred and feathered.

Hence, the campaign against Van Jones, the Obama green czar whose resignation was announced earlier today, following statements like this one from Rep. Mike Pence (R-Indiana): “His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate.”

1. Same with extremist views

Only Republicans including people in the House and Senate are allowed those.

I'm fugging fed up - where are the Democratic balls?

2. I suggest trying it......

put some signs in the rear windows of your car, calling out the republicans. Drive around and see what happens. We ALL need to grow some balls, and not be afraid to use "course rhetoric".

My new sign: RACIST REPUBLICANS ARE RIDICULOUS!

3. Go fuck yourself.

I think I heard a gritty, no-nonsense leader say that to some wimp liberal Senator, you know, back when the country was strong.

4. And Pelosi caved and took the Jazz off the WH phones and reinstated the "Patriotic"

music. Jazz is the most American of all music. That really ticks me off for some reason.
