Hero of the Left–
Kristinn Taylor and Andrea Shea King reported recently at Big Government on a long lost video of Van Jones leading a rally in Oakland, California the day after 9-11 where they cheered the American killers.

BizzyBlog reported on this video back on September 8, 2009. But, Kristinn just recently captured some of Jones’ remarks at the rally. The video also shows one speaker praising the 9-11 attackers as heroes.

Disgusting… Yet this radical activist is still a hero on the left.

From the video:

At a rally in Oakland on the night after the 9/11 attacks Van Jones (at about the 4:38 mark; HT to NewsBusters.org commenter Merkava) tells a far-far-left audience that ….

- “It’s the bombs that the government has been dropping around the world that are now blowing up inside the U.S. borders.”
- “We’ve got something stronger than bombs, we have solidarity. That dream of revolutionary change is stronger than bombs.”

So, was the White House aware of this when they hired this awful thug?

    No surprises here. Van Jones is a Marxist tool, tell us something we don’t know.
    But what’s with videos like this, where it looks like it’s been compressed a thousand times and is barely watchable? Who keeps doing this to videos? It’s so annoying! Do these people have tiny little hard drives or dial up connections or something?

    It would have been neat if a jet returning back to base nearby could have accidentally jetisoned it’s fuel tanks onto this crowd at the same time they all fired up their bongs!

    And yet Big Sis and Holder have the nerve to go before the American people and suggest returning veterans could be terrorist, or those that believe in their Christian bibles may also succumb to acts of terror against America. Even those charged with the presidents safety while ignoring someone like Van Jones within the White House, respond with a riot squad on gray haired old ladies of the Tea Party.

    IronDioPriest commented:

    Of course the White House was aware. He was promoted precisely because of these radical views. There is no space between Van Jones and Barack Hussein Obama. They stand shoulder to shoulder. The only reason Jones is out of the White House and working on other facets of the Leftist movement is because Glenn Beck sunk his teeth in and wouldn’t let go, making Obama’s continued open alliance with Jones into a political liability.

    Of course the regime knew, Jim. Don’t you remember the video with Hussein’s comrade in crime, Valerie Jarrett, where she speaks to an appreciative audience that they’ve been keeping “an eye” on Van Jones since Oakland? This is what happened in Oakland that made the WH Marxist-Islamist gang sit up and take notice.

When will the American people dare to consider 911 was indeed an inside job coordinated by Ameircan socialist agents allied with foreign islamic terrorists ? . …A new age nazi strike against the greedy zionist capitalist bankers of New York. The progressives are always the very evil they accuse upon their victims.

    I remember an interview where Valerie Jarrett said ‘they had been watching Van Jones for a long time’. So I’d have to say YES, the White House knew exactly who and what Van Jones was and is, and were happy with it as he meshed perfectly with Precedent Jugears McDildo’s marxist beliefs.

    It’s interesting that everyone focuses on the one Czar we DID get rid of. There are about 30-40 more creeping around.
    Want to make yourself sick? Go get a bucket and keep it next to you while you read up on Obama’s Safe Schools Czar – Kevin Jennings. Pedophile friendly, to say the least. There are mountains of information on this guy and all of it is absolutely horrifying.
    Not one of these Czars, not one – of the ones we know about – have been anything other than the worst kind of people a society can produce and all were handpicked by Obama.
    Final note – the Republicans have done less than nothing to get rid of them. Not one is gone yet. Correct me if I’m wrong but Glenn Beck was the only one who was able to remove a Czar and that was Van Jones.

    Right now I am watching CSPAN2. They are airing a hearing from today regarding the “Implementing of the 911 Commission Recommendations”. The head of FBI has just said the government has not enacted a recommendation from the committee to secure “birth certificate authenticity”.

    Marsh626 commented:

    Yet more typical examples of self-proclaimed “anti-racist activists”, “civil rights activists” and “peace activists” really being the people full of racism and bigotry and violence. I gradually became aware of this when I was a hardcore leftist activist myself only a couple of years ago. It was very hard to accept at the time. My whole worldview had collapsed as I realized these self-proclaimed anti-racist, peace activists were really the most racist and violent people I knew. Ethnic nationalism, anti-white racism and full support for the enemies of our entire Western civilization is rampant in these leftist, “anti-racist”, “anti-war” groups and organizations. They’re the strongest and best organized advocates for bigotry and violence. It’s just directed at whites and Westerners so they get a free pass. They’re sexists, too. The leftist feminist movement is rife with misandric policies and ideas. I’ve been trying to warn people about what I saw, heard, read and did when I was on the Left. But it always falls on deaf ears.

    Peter Warner commented:

    Ask yourself what kind of reasoning would push an avowed Leftist to ally themselves with Islamic forces that were actively persecuting his (or indeed her) own community. It’s rather obvious that this is not a rational impulse.

    Ask yourself what kind of impulse would drive someone to promote the destruction of their own society. Where does such a pathological fury of self-hatred and self-destruction come from? What is it that brings together gays, feminists, academics, anti-capitalists, corporate leaders, media elites, movie stars, fashion leaders, global arming fascists, jihadists, rioters, saboteurs, tyrants and terrorists into this ‘Leftist community’?

    There is one common thread in this fury that drives the Left: anti-Christian and anti-Biblical (I include the Jewish Torah in that) aggression. This is a fury against G-d.

    Ask yourself what forces promote such passion, and suddenly what had seemed somehow incomprehensible is now exposed plainly before you. The passion that drives the Left is coming straight from hell.

    Pray for America, the free world, and her leaders.

    So this is why I am so angry at the GOP. They GOP could derail alot of this commie/Czar appointment thing. But no they want to go to play golf and ignore this. They have let the country down. Or they are in cahoots. They have subpoena power or if not totally in control they could speak out and turn up the heat. Look at all the suits that Att Gen Ashcroft and Alberto Gonzales put up with and the if the cong didn’t do it there were groups fed the info to file.
    The GOp could defund and derail This commie. anti-Constitutional juggernaut. And and the
    Mexican Border War. And they WILL NOT do it. THAT is where to focus the blame. and the solutions. Out– every one of them.Even the 2010 ones too. They go too.
    Forget the Presidency–focus in on the Senate and the House. And the Secretarys of State in every State and the Registrars of Voters in “very town.Middlesex and farm”.we haveto get those offices back

    Where was Van Jones? I did not see him.

    I have seen his picuture and a video of him and he is NOT in this video.

    Let’s step back … being at a rally where someone, later, says something awful does not mean the attendee said something awful. I’ve been at tea party rallies where soemone takes the mic and proposes the kind of Oklahoma City bombing logic – yet I don’t hold gatewaypundit responsible for those words.

    This is not a logical connection to tie Van Jones. I sense another heavily-edited soon-to-be-embarrasing-to-the-right video here where scenes are rearranged or juxtaposed in ways not accurate to the context.

    JohnJay,

    Good luck with that logic. No cookie for you. Have a pretzel. More appropriate.
