Here's the story:
Boycott Leader "Color of Change" a Radical Group
Founder a self-described black "nationalist" and "Communist"; Links to terrorist
Barack Obama's "Green Jobs" czar (one of 42 extra-legal czars), and the leader of the attempted boycott against Glenn Beck, is a self-described "black nationalist" and "Communist", who has ties to a former terrorist. Van Jones, founder of "Color of Change", a black militant political activist group, worked as a co-founder and director of the Apollo Alliance, which Glenn Beck recently exposed for its subversive ties with radical left-wing groups. Van Jones worked at Apollo with Jeff Jones. Jeff Jones was a leading co-founder (along with Bill Ayers) of the terrorist group Weather Undergound , who spent time on the run from law enforcement agencies while his group carried out a series of bombings of U.S. government buildings. Van Jones' group "Color of Change" began the boycott against Glenn Beck after Beck exposed Apollo Group and Van Jones' militant past.
QUESTION: As the "Green Jobs Czar" and thus a government employee, would Van Jones be violating any laws or ethics regulations if he were found to be encouraging and/or coercing corporate entities that he may be in a position to help or punish through his offices? Have an answer? Let us know.
Van Jones himself was put in prison over his role in the 1992 L.A. Riots that killed 53 people. when released from jail he said he came out a "Communist". Jones has since caused controversy and sowed the seeds of racial conflict in places as in Jena, Louisiana in late 2006, when six black teenagers severely beat a white student. Van Jones said the teenager assailants were somehow justified because of past discrimination of African-Americans, and race-baiting marches organized by Jones created tremendous conflict in Jena and across the nation.
Despite Jones' channeling of 1980s racial provocteur and convicted fraudster extaordinaire Al Sharpton, he was unable to convince a jury of his outrageous blame-the-victim defense, all six students were convicted of crimes ranging from aggravated battery to conspiracy.
Some of the Tweets over there are funny!
Examples:
Obama announces a federal bailout for "Hardball" to boost their viewership. He only needs 2 million more viewers to catch Beck.
DefendGlenn Beck has 2.4 million viewers. Chrissy Matthews has 300k. Gee, should we put our WalMart ad on Hardball? Kabuki theater by ColorofChange
