Why was Van Jones let go if he wasn't off the deep end? If he was normal this wouldn't have been an issue. He wasn't though, he is a hard core socialist and someone we don't want near the president or any type of power.

Van Jones rocks!

Alikar must have been watching too much Glenn Beck. That smear-campaign would be called propaganda, if done by so called "socialists" - maybe you think about that for a second...

did you watch the program before posting this comment? I found the program very thoughtful and inspiring, much more so than your comment, which seeks to denigrate from some presumed guilt (gasp! he's a socialist!). Bernie Sanders is a socialist, and is surely 'too socialist' for the Obama Administration. In any case, I'd love to hear him speak too. Maybe you should try to find commonality and curiosity rather than dismissiveness.

Really Fora? Van Jones? The guys who was fired for being too socialist for even Obama's Administration to handle? Mr. ACORN? Friend of the Apollo Alliance?

*sigh*
