By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist
By mid-Friday, it was clear that the days of green jobs czar Van Jones are numbered in the Obama administration.
Forget radio shock jock Glenn Beck, who's trying to get Jones fired. Even White House spokesman Robert Gibbs offered only lukewarm enthusiasm for keeping Jones.
On Friday Gibbs said, "He continues to work in the administration..."
Oh, and Gibbs added that Obama does not agree with Jones' signing of a petition to investigate possible federal involvement in 9/11.
No kidding.
Earlier this week, Jones didn't look like a communist, racist, Republican-hating radical when he visited Kansas City earlier this week.
But Beck says that's exactly what Jones is.
And Jones definitely has made some very public mistakes. Calling Republicans "assholes," as Jones did earlier this year, isn't good for job security in a high-profile White House job.
On Tuesday, Jones came to Kansas City as part of his job with the White House Council for Environmental Quality Office.
Fed officials were taking a look at the Green Impact Zone, a good-faith effort by U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver to reinvigorate a 150-block area of low-income neighborhoods in KC.
Cleaver at one point in the day even held up Jones' New York Times best-seller -- "The Green Collar Economy" -- and asked Jones to sign it for an audience member.
By Friday, however, Beck's pursuit of Jones seemed to be paying off, to a degree.
Jones issued denials of Beck's charges, while right-wing websites continued to call for Jones to resign.
Among the charges being spread against Jones:
-- In 2004 he signed an online petition calling for an investigation into whether 9/11 was instigated by the federal government.
Jones responded late this week: "If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize. As for the petition that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever."
-- In February, Jones called Republicans "assholes" in discussing how Democrats had to push their agenda harder.
"And Barack Obama is not an asshole," Jones said. "So, now, I will say this: I can be an asshole, and some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama, are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity."
Jones has apologized for that comment.
-- He attacked "white polluters" and "white environmentalists" for "essentially steering poison into the people of color communities."
Summation: Jones won't and shouldn't survive in this job. His radical statement detract from Obama's hopes of shining a spotlight on the need to create green jobs.

Remember....
...that AWESOME questionnaire Obama had for people to fill out in order to work for his administration?
Would it be really cool if we had something like a free press in this country that would go out and find this guy's questionnaire and see what he wrote in it.
Either he lied on it or he was truthful and it was ignored.
van jones, ex Czar, RIP
Good call Yael....
No denial
Again, no denial. No tactic, just questions. Questions that people are afraid to answer?
Still waiting.......
Nice try, watcher. People
Nice try, watcher. People don't fall for that tactic anymore, but the left keeps trying. If you don't agree, try to destroy.
Destroy?
Uh, that tactic is not solely the province of the left....
Answer the question Glenn!
Why won't Glenn Beck talk about the rape and death of a girl in the 90's? All he has to do is deny it. Why won't he?
Ah, Quitblaming
Even James Buchanan’s administration is not entirely forgotten.
Barrack
Your a one termer! Your Presidential legacy is one that will be forgotten!
Obama
Why doesn't Obama, actually ever answer anything. He answers with generalities, not constructive real answers. Just the things the so called american wants to hear. He never explains this, and how this change will be paid for. Nothingh is free, nothing. Or I would on beach in Hawaii, in a 35 room house, with a Rolls convertible! Come on, whitehouse real real here! Jones is a racist, a Black Nationist Racist! Obama filling up the DC wid racist!
Impeachment? That Sounds in Keeping With the Agenda
I think you should be allowed to ask for Obama’s impeachment. Hell, you have, haven't you. That should make you look like a fair minded patriot.
By the way, given your e-name, I should point out that Iran-Contra was the greatest constitutional crises of my life—far more profound that Watergate or Lewinskigate. Think about it—a separate government in the basement of the White House? Alas, the media didn’t force the issue (I guess that was before they became the vaunted “left-wing liberal media”).
Hey Van...
I got some good news and some bad news from the big 0, the messiah. The bus is getting ready to leave, and the good news is that you are not in it; the bad news is they are wanting you to look under the bus for something.
Get ready to get tossed big guy.....
Rosie has a valid comment.
Rosie has a valid comment. We should be allowed to ask for his impeachment with out fear....it's almost like the media wants us to be afraid to question his judgment.
Silly Enough to Survive
Oh, I think Rosiesyaer’s diatribe is silly enough to survive. I confess that I often wonder how off the wall you have to be to get deleted.
P.S.
I give that one 5 mintutes before yael deletes it.
Once again...
Obama's judgement and associates are what should be called into question. That Jones called members of one political party a name is NOT the issue. Lately former members of that party have been doing that themselves.
What is the point is that Obama is either the dumbest president in the history of the country, and so is every member of his vetting team, OR even worse, Obama KNOWS who and what Jones is.
Unfortunately the fact that neither the vetting team or Jones has yet to be fired tells me it's likely the latter. Both the vetting team and Jones should have been fired by 8am EDT today.
Jones' lame excuse about being a 'truther' is just that, lame. His support was no accident, and 'I wouldn't sign it today' isn't good enough.
WE THE PEOPLE must insist that Jones be fired immediately - not resign, FIRED. We must also insist that all remaining CZARS submit to full investigation by the FBI and full investigation and confirmation by Congress.
The judgement of both Obama and his vetting team are, at this time, seriously suspect. I am appalled that this story was not the lead story on every newspaper in the country today. It is bad enough that Jones is a leftist radical, a communist, and everything else that has been uncovered. That he is also a 'truther' and Obama appointed him as a close advisor is beyond unacceptable.
Just to make it really clear - Obama's actions in first appointing Jones, and then not firing him immediately upon the revelation of this IS UNACCEPTABLE.
I CALL ON CONGRESS TO IMMEDIATELY START IMPEACHMENT OF OBAMA. HIS ACTIONS WERE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND ILLEGAL. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Van Jones and Other Like Him in the White House including Obama
Wake up and smell the roses, folks.
Van Jones is just one of thousands in a conspiracy of left wingers intent upon destroying this country.
The Democratic Party is merely a vehicle by which they are implementing their plans. They have infiltrated the Democratic party and are basically "pimping" them in order to execute their agenda. George Soros's money and many, many others like him have been working on this plan for years. Obama is a pawn, a figure-head but a voluntary one. The radical left Dems like Pelosi and Reid have no idea how they are being used, nor do most America-loving Democrats. The Republicans, too busy licking their wounds and trying to get back in power, are impotent and too fearful of not being re-elected to speak out and demand investigations and challenge the violations to our constitution which are happening daily.
Wake up, America. Speak up, America. Stop this lunacy before we lose our country.
Van Jones
Just another in a long line of people Obama associates with, that makes me conclude he is just like them, and has no business being in the White House or any other political position.
Van Jones
And by the way, thank you, Glenn Beck, for shining the spotlight on this cockroach so we could get rid of another of Obama's commie associates!
Van Jones
So HOW many people still cling to the belief that Obama's long-term associations with Marxists (like Jones, Ayers, etc.), is "just a coincidence"? Or do they know better, and just hope they can convince US to believe it? Just one step closer to Obama's impeachment!
More nuts in the wings
We know what he is but his twin is sitting in the wings. Jones and Obama speak with one voice. If the public felt easy and comfortable with Obama, would they be up in arms about his speech to school children? Radical views are not welcome and our eyes are wide open. The HOPE and CHANGE train is off it's rails.
It sounds like
gwen is so far left that she thinks the o is a moderate. But once again we can get a laugh at a lib who describes the repubs by detailing the standard operating procedure of the left. I wonder why the o's numbers are dropping like a stone. The o can rescue this guy by pulling another biden manuver, get him the heck away from any microphone for a few weeks. Then it will go away.
What denials, Yael??? source and quote please
I am unaware of any denials that Jones has offered regarding Beck's "charges"....which were not charges at all.
Beck simply aired and promoted that which Jones had publicly stated in recent speeches. Yet Yael disingenuously charcterizes the things that the man has said as "charges" of Beck's creation
Perhaps a more accurate phraseing would be that Jones has apologized for the racist remarks that he has made.
Lets be honest here.....If Jones (or Lloyd) really cared passionately for Obama's agenda they would resign promptly to avoid further sullying Obama's reputation and judgement
Too late to put the tooth paste back in the tube
Jones was appointed with Obama's blessing and with Valerie acceptance. Others are in the wings. We know what he is and have no idea what his replacement would be...Yael is in the tank so his opinion is slanted. Facts get him PO'ed.
As my Grampa Used to Say momlee...
Off is better then on....
"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money,"
less then 14 months of this insanity
You're kidding, right gwen?
You're kidding, right gwen? The left supports the likes of Castro and Chevez and you're upset because the right wants to get a Communist out of Washington?
As long as the president appoints Communists, a Speaker of the House that supports a tax cheat who has donated to the campaigns of 3 of the people investigating his tax cheating, any complaints the left has are worthless and disingenuous.
So ONLY right wingers
So ONLY right wingers promote their nutballs?
So Van Jones is NOT a member of the White House staff as a Czar?
Van Jones
Gwen Lebec
Too bad, but he is not suited for public life or to represent the administration. It is troubling, however, that the media and the pundits consider his beliefs and behavior controversial. Flip it - and this is a mainstream Republican. So - it is okay for Republicans to be nuts, encourage guns at Presidential events, lie about the President and Democrats 24/7, undermine our country, support torture, terrorism, and traitors - and they are just average Americans expressing their views. But someone on the far left is "really out there?" The only difference between a "Birther" on the right and a "9/11 Truther" on the left - is that Dems consider far, far lefties marginal and don't promote their ideas. Republicans, however, give their most extreme nutcases mainstream airtime, celebrity status, and even Congressmen make speeches on their behalf. And which party is destroying America? I say it is the one that is actively trying to tear it apart - the GOP.
