Van Jones: Prepare for America’s Arab Spring

Actually he called it America’s Fall, as in Autumn. More than fear my little barbarians, I read this more as a sign of desperation from the far left. Van Jones sees his lefty plan slipping away quickly, and this is a last chance. Video is from MSNBC’s the last word.

Ever since the tea party made its impact felt across the country the left has been looking for response, may I say unsuccessfully, and this is just one more attempt. From Real Clear Politics.

Hold onto your hats my little barbarians.

    OMG, “phony, made up deficit stuff”??? Sure, he meant ‘autumn’.?
    ?
    In other news, Herman Cain says black voters are brainwashed.

    “America’s Arab Spring?” We have it already Mr. Jones and it is CALLED the TEA PARTY MOVEMENT!



  3. Plainvillian on September 30, 2011 at 9:11 am

    All Marxism.



  4. SeeingRed on September 30, 2011 at 10:28 am

    Can’t wait to see the turn out for his ‘massive’ demonstration top of next week.? Even with the lure of free, $16? muffins how many can he gather?? Maybe a thousand or two the first day, but when the muffins disappear there had better be cash handed out for standing there….



    • phil on October 1, 2011 at 8:05 am

      At least he’ll be creating ‘shovel ready’ jobs, as responsible people shovel up the crap that lefties always leave behind!

    “America’s Fall”.?? Not too subtle there.? So the lefties are desperate enough to feel the need for violence??
    ?
    WE need to take America back, not have it stolen by anarchists and commies like Van Jones.

      “So the lefties are desperate enough to feel the need for violence? ”
      There ya go again…listen carefully for the word ‘violence”…it’s not there..
      So, the Tea Party has the right to protest but no one else?
      ?



    • Dimsdale on September 30, 2011 at 2:20 pm

      The difference is that the lefties are ALWAYS making verifiably false claims about the TEA party members, be it racism, violence etc., when many of the left backed/supporting protests are violent and hate filled (see recent union protests for example). ? Here, Van Jones is calling for an uprising in the streets.? Every TEA party gathering I have seen has been peaceful, courteous and clean.
      ?
      Do you think Jones picked the term “American Fall”, “liberal fight back” and “progressive offensive” by accident?? Where is all the concern that was heaped on Palin for target references?? How is this different?
      ?
      He is a commie, and if you want to be associated with or defend that, then you have issues.
      ?
      From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Jones):
      “When he graduated from law school, Jones gave up plans to take a job in Washington, D.C., and moved to San Francisco instead.? He got involved with Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), where Jones actively…

      Once again, I draw your attention to The Shadow Party, by D. Horowich, a playbook of how to use Alinsky to effect change.? Soros calls it his velvet revolution and the book lists his use of the tatics in Eastern Europe.? It is the same script for the Arab Spring and the same script for Jone’s Fall “Fling”.
      Also, I witnessed a demonstration between the PLO and Austrian police in Vienna in the early 1980’s/? We were in the plaza near the cathedral – when suddenly we saw men wrap their red and white scarfs around their heads so that only their eyes shown.? The riot police were in fullgear.? Helmets and shields.? It was like the game of Red Rover – (send X over) as one by one, a rioter ran into the line of police.? The rest of the group began the strange Arab version of a Bronx cheer. The police held firm.? The rioter – who was a well trained actor dramatically fell, grabbed his head, and emoted for the camera man busily taking pictures of the police brutality.? At first we thought we were watching a move.? Later, we learned that demonstrations such as this were cropping up over Europe.? I’ve never watch footage of a riot or looked at a picture of demonstrators without remembering that event.? It’s all theater – with…

      This is the best you can do?

    Dims, they wonder why the TeaParty movement ?keeps growing.



    • crystal4 on September 30, 2011 at 11:32 am

      Can I have a link for that? (Showing the TP movement is growing?)



    • Anybody but Obama on September 30, 2011 at 11:50 am

      Crystal, racists are on their own for links, look for it yourself



    • Eric on September 30, 2011 at 7:42 pm

      Why are you people always asking for help? ?Can’t you lefty-whacks do ANYTHING yourselves?



  7. Shock and Awe on September 30, 2011 at 11:57 am

    Glenn Beck made Van Jone’s into a joke.? he lost most of his power. little to fear from him now



  8. just sayin on September 30, 2011 at 12:24 pm

    Notice that Real Clear Politics makes no mention why VJ resigned as O’s “green jobs czar.”? Can anyone say, “…self-avowed Communist?”



  9. RoBrDona on September 30, 2011 at 3:08 pm

    Yeah, the Communists and the Socialist side of the D-party see it all slipping away. The Tea Party has dropped the bomb, and I would not put it past card carriers like old Vanny to think up a situation that absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture to be done on somebody’s part. ? ?



  10. Anybody but Obama on September 30, 2011 at 3:12 pm

    ?Crystal, here’s the link to the communist manifesto of storm that?Van Jones? your presidents green jobs czar is pushing. Defend? if you can.

      Thanks for the link, but couldn’t read past the first 10 pages, I don’t need anymore fodder for nightmares.



  11. Shared Sacrifice on September 30, 2011 at 6:09 pm

    My piece of the pie is smaller because of Barack Obama, Big Government, the Big Green Energy scam, and Dan, I think he’s an idiot, Malloy!

  13. Marilyn on September 30, 2011 at 7:28 pm

    I will stand with anyone who stands with America, it’s principles and ideals.? I was asked to join Van Jones in his quest for the American Dream and declined.? Van Jones a self proclaimed communist, I said no thanks.? The following day I got an E-Mail that said no where could they find that Van Jones was a communist.?? I m not the brighest bulb in the box,? but after researching Mr. Jones I found I was right.? Thanks but No Thanks



  14. Eric on September 30, 2011 at 7:37 pm

    Whenever I hear Van Jones going into one of his “bash America” schticks I just tune out anymore. ?He’s not worth listening to… total waste of time. ?I’d really like to see him disappear next year with his buddy, Barack. ?I think most of us would like to see this happen! ?



  15. Don Lombardo on October 1, 2011 at 10:49 am

    The scary thing is that a nut job like this could even get near an appointment by a President. It tells a lot about the priorities of?-?the Constitution is a restrictive document – Mr. Obama.



  16. crystal4 on October 2, 2011 at 9:03 am

    Just note that I have never attacked anyone personally…”rascist”, ” lefty whack” …yeah, very classy guys.
    Impossible to have a debate here.
