After more than a week of Glen Beck calling him a communist, Van Jones just couldn&#8217;t take it anymore and resigned. It&#8217;s a very good thing&#8230;I&#8217;m glad he&#8217;s gone. I&#8217;m a bit concerned about who&#8217;ll take his place, though. But there&#8217;s a lesson in it for all of us. This is from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2009\/09\/06\/jones-resignation-embolden-administration-critics\/\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Jones resigned late Saturday following mounting criticism over his past statements and associations. The tipping point came when it was discovered that he signed a petition in 2004 supporting the &#8220;9\/11 truther&#8221; movement, which believes the Bush administration may have been complicit in the Sept. 11 terror attacks. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess every side has a line it won&#8217;t cross. On the Left, they&#8217;re afraid to look like cranks if they are Truthers. On the right, it&#8217;s Birthers. Birthers have&#8221;indisputable proof&#8221; just like Truthers have &#8211; however it&#8217;s not so&#8221;indisputable&#8221; that anyone wants to stake their careers on defending one of them in public.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the Left is in charge and they can do whatever they want, the Democrats, the party of murdering unborn babies and warehousing the elderly, discovered that trutherism isn&#8217;t something they want to legitimize with the remnants of their reputation.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m guessing there&#8217;s a lesson in there for some of us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, Van Jones is gone.
