Come on Marcus...
On a scale of 1 to 10, how well is Obama doing in your humble opinion. I'm curious.
Any comments on the CZAR thing? You comfortable with that? All these people being handed lots of power that nobody oversees? We're being taken over by the Marxists... Obama is putting them in every position... and you just sit there blissfully in blindness.
How do you like this guy?
I know you love Wiki so obviously you'll agree with everything posted in his bio.
Speaking to the East Bay Express, Jones said he first became radicalized in the wake of the 1992 Rodney King riots.
"I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist."
Jones was still a law student at Yale Law School at the time. While volunteering as a legal monitor during a peaceful protest following the Rodney King riots, Jones was unlawfully arrested along with other legal monitors and some protesters. He and the other detainees were released no more than 4 hours after being illegally arrested and Jones was never convicted of a crime.
"I met all these young radical people of color – I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.' I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary," he said.
In the late 90s, Van Jones was involved in Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), a multi-racial activist collective with Marxist influences. While never large, STORM was an influential group in the Bay Area, working with numerous organizations including Bay Area Police Watch, School of Unity and Liberation (SOUL), and People Organized to Win Employment Rights (POWER). Jones and STORM were also active in the anti Iraq War demonstrations of the early 2000’s.
Now coming from your lala land, this is what you would have read about the guy... from HuffPo of course...
