    ...his new Green Jobs Czar, Van Jones.

    Seems like an amiable fellow.

    You are needing to relax Kev. Trolling for for type of sh*t all the time can't be doing your blood pressure any good. I could send you some blood pressure pills. Save you paying for them. We get them for free* under the umbrella of the horrible NHS you have been told about.

    *We actually pay for them during our working years. We also pay for the NHS during our working years in the form of percentage of our wages to cover NHS, retirement pension, unemployment etc. Bit like communism you would say.

    How about his incredibly racist views just for starters? Or how about his self given appellation of "Communist"? Or his job for four years with STORM? A group "explicitly committed to revolutionary Marxist politics". And it isn't like this was 40 years ago; that would be scary enough. This was in the mid-90's FFS!

    This gives just a taste of this guys startling past. How does a man with that resume end up in the White House?

    Right wingers are going to have to change the voting system in order to get a say. Keeping the 'first past the post' system is going to get you outvoted at every election. Immigration has meant that the majority of voters are now to the left. Wake up before it is too late. Proportional Representation is the only answer.

    So-

    You're okay with the communist ideal, huh?

    I see a bumper sticker that says "McCarthy never gave these poor guys a chance".

    Will they sue for reparations, I wonder.

    Like Barney Frank said, talking to this kind of people is like talking to a coffee table.
    I can't believe that Kev and company don't give it a rest already

    Or perhaps you'd like to see the same information on a neutral site?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Jones#Early_activism

    Or perhaps you prefer to listen to him say that white people are to blame for this or that....
