Well, as was expected, Green Czar,Van Jones has resigned, but not before accusing Right-Wingers of a smear campaign. What smear campaign? All we did was listen to his speeches and show others where they could listen to his speeches. Some of his horrible words, he even apologized for, so which is it? Did he say things he honestly regrets or is he a victim of some planned conspiracy?
Howard Dean continues to defend this man who signed a statement about a Bush 9/11 conspiracy, who openly admitted to being a Communist, and who accused white people of poisoning the drinking water of black people. How does Dean continue to offer support? By going through the issues point by point and addressing them? Not at all. Instead, Dean reminds us that Van Jones is a Yale graduate who has written a book. Given the age we live in and the Leftist/ Politically Correct atmosphere of our colleges, the fact that somebody is a college graduate who writes, provides zero evidence of a moral compass.
It reminds me of the way people defended Ahamadinnejad after the tyrant spoke at Columbia. "The man is well educated and he has a family. He also smiles a lot."
See how it works? Say any poisonous, racist, inflammatory thing you want. Just make sure you smile while you blast it all out and be at a university while you are speaking. For myself, I'd be quite content with a man who never smiles, has no family, has written no book and graduated no college. None of that would matter if the guy at least had brains and a heart. Indeed, maybe that isn't even needed. Remember when Dorthy asked the Scarecrow how he could talk if he didn't have a brain? He replied, "I don't know. But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking."
