Ousted White House green jobs czar Van Jones accepted the President's Award at Friday night's NAACP Image Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. He ended his acceptance speech with a message "to my fellow countryman, Mr. Glenn Beck."
"I see you, and I love you, brother," Jones said to the Fox News and talk radio host. "I love you and you cannot do anything about it. I love you and you cannot do anything about it. Let's be one country! Let's be one country. Let's get the job done."
Jones also offered "a shout out and a salute" to President Obama, who Jones said is "a world class leader, a man who volunteered to be the captain of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg, and we're still floating, and we're still floating."
"Let's stay with this president!" Jones said.
Jones did not mention his troubles at the White House, except to say, "I have had 1,000 defeats in this past year, but I had one victory, and it's the most important victory to me: I don't hate anybody. I'm not mad at anybody, and I still believe in the politics of hope."
During his time in the White House, it emerged that Jones had signed a 2004 petition supporting the so-called "9/11 Truther" movement; that he was a self-professed communist during much of the 1990s; that he supported the cop-killer Mumia abu-Jamal; that in 2008 he accused "white polluters" of "steering poison into the people of color communities"; that he was affiliated with an anti-American publication called "War Times" from 2002 to 2004; that in 2005 he said, "You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child"; and that earlier this year he called Republicans "a--holes." Beck featured those stories and more on his Fox New and talk radio programs.
Now, after the White House, Jones has been embraced by the establishment. He is heading to Princeton University, where he has been appointed distinguished visiting fellow in the Center for African American Studies and the Program in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He has also returned to his old post at the liberal think tank Center for American Progress. And he has the NAACP's President's Award, too.
Learn about the real Van Jones below. FactCheck it if you are skeptical. It's true...
OUR THOUGHTS- This sure says a lot about the NAACP doesn't it? Why does an organization that claims they are for the 'advancement of colored people' support 'rubber brothers' like Van Jones and Barack Obama? These two radicals side with 'elitist white liberal' policies. Those same policies are proven failures and have been destroying black communities for years. It makes you wonder what the NAACP really stands for; National Association for the Advancement Communist People?
Martin Luther King would be disappointed...
Van Jones is an admitted communist and a liberal San Francisco con artist. He has been brainwashed his entire life by radicals. He's a dishonest, weak-minded individual and the NAACP should be embarrassed. Next, Van Jones will probably win the Nobel Peace Prize, which like the NAACP (and NBC) have lost all credibility.
green jobs in the ghetto is comical. black folks dont buy global warming and they sure dont buy this guys BS. not in my hood anyway. he's a fake, but he's making lots of money off of the scare.
