Republican Congressman Calls on Jones to Resign
Past affiliations and statements by President Obama's "green jobs" adviser has led one Republican congressman to call for Van Jones' resignation.
FOXNews.com
A Republican congressman is calling for the resignation of President Obama's "green jobs" adviser over new revelations about his past affiliations and statements.
Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana also said Obama should get rid of Van Jones, 40, if the adviser is unwilling to resign.
"His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate," Pence said in a written statement released Friday.
Pence also called on Obama to suspend appointment of additional so-called "czars" until Congress has a chance to examine the background and responsibilities of such individuals, as well as to determine the constitutionality of such appointments.

I suppose now, when Obama inevitably throws him under the bus, we'll be told how all that stuff is "not the man I knew." If it ain't broke . . .
How many of these people need to be discovered before people in general figure out that for Obama, this kind of guy is the NORM, not the exception?
With people like Glenn Beck around, it won't take too long before the American people figure out what this president is really all about.

If you or anyone else puts their faith and trust in the bufoon formally known as Glenn Beck then I have trust or respect for anything that you post.
Glenn Beck went around Rockefeller Center looking for signs of Communist statues. Glann Beck elevator has not been to the top floor in a few decades.
Sad to know that it is still a crime to be a "communist" in the US, 50+ years after the McCarthy witch hunts. Sad to know that one can not have an opinion about things that are in contradiction with the right in the US... really sad.
It's not a crime it's just good form not to appoint an unratified self acclaimed communist, environut, and bigot to a position requiring job creation when we're at 10% unemployment.
And he found them, and documented their origins in the Progressive movement of the time.Glenn Beck went around Rockefeller Center looking for signs of Communist statues.
Again, so what if he is a communist? He still has to follow the orders of his boss who aint a communist. It is not a crime (yet) to be a communist or anything else in the US, so why should he be ashamed of it, let alone resign over it? As for his "racial views".. newsflash.. they are his views, right or wrong, truthful or not, there are far worse views by other people out there and even many public people, and yet we have yet to hear demands for their resignation...
Sorry but this is just another "anti-Obama" action by the radical right, a part of the political sphere ripe with "odd views" that are as bad or worse as this guys.. where are the calls for their resignation?
such an obvious strawmanSad to know that it is still a crime to be a "communist" in the US, 50+ years after the McCarthy witch hunts. Sad to know that one can not have an opinion about things that are in contradiction with the right in the US... really sad.
So, you'd be comfortable with a president appointing a Holocaust denying Ku Klux Klansman with Nazi sympathies to a position unchecked power, so long as he appeared to be obedient, right?Again, so what if he is a communist?

past actions should not matter.
Jones would be much more valuable to the opposition if he remains close to Prez Doofus. If he stays, his views can be projected onto Doofus at the appropriate time. If he resigns now, he and his views will be inconsequential by the time they could be used to effect.
If someone's current opinions and actions make him the perfect person for a job (Jones dropped his communist stands years ago and has since reformed himself to be a staunch supporter of green business), then past actions should not matter.
It's about time. It's been over a week since we first found out that he was a communist, protested to have a cop killer released from prison and accused white people of poisoning black communities and migrant workers. I can't believe it took him being a "truther" to finally hear calls for his resignation.
