RIP Van Jones

Van Jones was President Obamas "green jobs" czar. After his political suicide today, I would like to write a suitable eulogy for him. It would go something like this.

Van Jones was just a man. He made youthful mistakes. Some of these include statements that all Republicans are assholes, that 9/11 was a government conspiracy, and then when arrested (wrongfully) during the Rodney King protests in (San Francisco not L.A. riots) came the real gem.

"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 woring 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."

I'm sure his environmental activity had NOTHING to do with his desire to redistribute wealth, and nothing to do with racial motivation. He (like many other Obama staffers and supporters)had no idea that their inflammatory racist and socialistic statements could in fact come to light, as they never thought that socialism of that level would be in a position of power. We should not hold his statements against him. He was just being youthfully idealistic right?
