Roger Simon wrote an op ed piece in Pajamas Media that discussed Glenn Beck’s role in the uncovering of Van Jones’ world views and the fact that Beck had scooped big media on this. He also compared Beck’s role to the silence coming out of the New York Times.

The comments posted on Simon’s piece were fairly consistent with most of the comments left at other articles concerning Van Jones’ resignation. None, except for one poster, really focused on the real rot behind the man’s ideology and I kept wondering about this. Why just the thin surface  responses and not looking deeper into Jones’ thought patterns and beliefs and the real reasons why he was hired by the Obama administration in the first place? Why not a deeper examination of his avowed Communist beliefs, his racist statements and, for me the worst of all, his anti-semitic rants.

The responses from the left have been pretty predictable ranging from “Jones is the victim of a witch hunt” to “Obama has betrayed him and should have defended him”. They ignore however, that all that was needed was to expose his real words and actions to the general public. Hate does not like light.

In conclusion, not only did the Obama administration hire the man but put him in a position to carry out his Marxist, racist and anti-semitic delusions using the power of the federal government. Why?
