Far-left activist Van Jones has found a new vehicle to promote his progressive views: NPR.
In an interview on All Things Considered Sunday, President Obama’s former adviser for “green” jobs went on a 5-minute tirade promoting his “American Dream Movement” and blaming the Tea Party, whose caucus makes up only a quarter of House Republicans and four U.S. Senators, for everything from delaying a debt limit increase to protecting billionaires.
During the interview Jones hit some of his favorite talking points:
“This tiny minority of people are holding a gun to the heads of 310 million Americans saying ‘you do it our way or we will blow a hole in the American economy.’”
“I don‘t know how these people get a chance to be called patriots when everything they say about America’s government is how terrible, how awful it is.”
In the interview, NPR allows Jones to say, without much challenge, that his group is not like the Tea Party — “bankrolled” by the Koch Brothers and promoted by “Fox TV”. NPR failed to note that Jones’ group is sponsored by MoveOn.org in partnership with the Daily Kos, Planned Parenthood, Code Pink, Green for All, and ProgressiveCongress.org, among others.
The Fox News statement is especially interesting because it raises the question of what platform National Public Radio is providing Jones in this interview.

Where do people like Van Jones get their money?
He is not like ordinary Americans who have to scrape a living out of Obamas economy….
good question, gov. payroll? maybe he got his bankroll from obama's distribution of wealth, since there is no paper trail on that 800 billion stimulus, we have no idea where that money went.
I always wondered where rev jackson and some of the others racist bashers made their money?
They all seem to be living high and in the upper crust of society, living like rich white folks. Not like the 25% un-employeed blacks they get rich off of by pushing their hate and racist agenda.
From Soros and his shady organizations.
Since when did we start allowing the communist party/marxism to operate in our country…it is against this nations founding….and the CIA/FBI used to throw these people out of our country, it is time to start deporting these people…this is not their country…….period! Send them packing….we've had enough of this crap, we are not handing over our country that Americans have bleed and died for to these anti-American communist liberal marxist groups ever…..
Why are we still funding NPR? Van Jones is a common thug…nothing more..nothing less. He speaks to the lowest common denominator. Recruits from the prisons, preaches the "blame game"–'your failure is ALWAYS somebody else's fault–he is a militant, radical, nasty gangster. Why doesn't he take of his suit (costume) and dress in his REAL attire–grow some dreadlocks, put on grungy clothes and dress his part.
What is this idiotic fear that everyone seems to have about speaking truth. A Communist IS a Communist. Stop calling them far left, liberals, democrats, progressives, etc. They are Communists and they are your enemy. You can't fight anyone or anything, if you refuse to identify it for what it is. You cannot save this nation from destruction if you refuse to identify what is destroying it. We have, for want of a better description, an EVIL force at work within the very structure of this great nation, and it has already taken over a major portion of our lives. It has totally assumed control of the Party of Democrats. If you love, or even care about individual freedom, you had better get your collective heads out of the sand and fight back.
Now This Must Be A Joke Made Up By The Three Stooges, Yikeess, Obama,Holder And Van Jones. The Only Thing In DC That The Proud Americans Can Make A Differance In The Nov 2012 Election Will Be The Tea Party Patriots, God Save The USA.
Screw Van Jones. He is just as Anti-American as Obama. Thank God for the Tea Party Members. If it weren't for them even this sorry deal we got from congress wouldn't exist. Too bad there aren't more Tea Party members in the Senate, mabey then we would have gotten a better deal from the Old Diehard Incumbants.
I believe that NPR should be the first organization to get the axe and be defunded- would save us some money and in the long run, very much benefit our country. Bunch of Communist libtards.
Theres is no room in the US for Van Jones and his inane rhetoric. He is a loud mouth, racist,oxygen-depleting POS that needs to be eliminated -period..
This Is The Move-On Soros/Obama BS Crew Of Van Jones And The "New" NPR At Work For The Imposter Muslim Pres Obama Re-Election Run, Yikeess, Tie-Down The Furniture And White House Goodies When They Get Booted, Nov 2012. God Bless America And The Real Americans Tea Party Patriots.
