How many times has a member of the President's administration taken part in implementing a boycott? Another new low out of the South Side of Chicago
Little early to be hitting the hard stuff. It's a long weekend KB.:toast:Presidential Adviser Shoved Out for Being Intelligent
Oh, lord have mercy. Lord have mercy you people!
A White House environmental policy adviser who specialized in “green jobs” resigned on Sunday after an uproar over his previous affiliation with a September 11 conspiracy group.
Van Jones, special adviser on green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, apologized on Thursday after videotape surfaced of him using a crude epithet to describe Republicans and amid revelations he had signed a petition suggesting U.S. government involvement in the 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.
The apology did little to quell Republican criticism, however, and President Barack Obama’s chief spokesman gave only tepid support to the adviser on Friday.
1. Lord forbid a person entrusted with thinking clearly think for themselves.
2. Lord forbid they criticize the previous administration (who everybody knows were Lying Curs Who Would Sell Their Own Grandmothers for Toll Bridge Fare).
3. Lord forbid they criticize the opposition party—for the last time, Democrats are Spineless Jellies Who Turn a Permissive Hand to Evil and are Therefore Complicit In It.
4. Lord forbid that, in general, Mr. Stone act anything like a Republican—you know, criticizing the opposite party and harboring conspiracy theories—which is about what every Republican in this country does. (For God’s sake, Bush thought that he was sacrificing countless lives and resources to fight mythical beings called “Gog and Magog” in the Middle East and we kept that Cephalopod around for eight years.)
5. And since every Republican seems to think that Global Warming is a Democrat conspiracy, and gets away with this Regressive, Head-in-the-Sand thinking, how dare the Democrat in charge of fixing it have conspiracy theories about the Republicans?
In short, shame on you, Mr. Obama, for being such a Party Line Pussy.*

Oh are you talking about the guy who got arrested and pleaded guilty to crime...
In an essay he wrote soon after the rioting and republished in The Huffington Post in May 2007, Jones said he "just marched around and chanted slogans" as other protesters set trash cans afire, smashed car windows and threw rocks at passing motorists. But he clearly reveled in the protest.
"Our moment had finally come! We were righteous, fired up, weren't takin' no more!" Jones wrote. "We were one thousand strong on Market Street, with the Bay Bridge shut down in rush hour traffic and the grounds around the state building swarming with angry mobs! Our rallying cry was for justice; our demand was that the System be changed!"
Jones continued, "Yes, the Great Revolutionary Moment had at long last come. And the time, clearly, was ours! So we stole stuff. Y'know, stole stuff. Radios, tennis shoes. Well, not everybody, of course."
