Here's the transcript:
"Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said OK now we want reparations for Slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages. If we'd come out with a maximum program the very next day, they'd been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum. "We just want to integrate these busses..." But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country.Is this what you want to see in the people closest to the President? This guy is a self-declared Communist, and he has the ear and the heart of Barack Obama.
And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages. Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least we're not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won't be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression all together. But, that's a process and I think that's what's great about the movement that is beginning to emerge is that the CRISIS is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both pragmatic and visionary. So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.
Oh, and he believes that 9/11 was an inside job, and that President Bush allowed it to occur.
With all of this new information leaking out about Van Jones, some are predicting that he will 'resign' very soon. If he doesn't, he could start doing real damage to Obama. It's kind of like when the Rev. Jeremiah Wright started making normal Americans uncomfortable with all of his 'God-damn America', 'USofKKKA', and accusations that AIDS was a government effort to eradicate blacks...under the bus he went! Well, now it's apparently Jones' turn.
If it doesn't happen, that will be a gigantic warning sign that this is the kind of openly Communist, anti-American, revolutionary guy that Barack Obama wants running American policy, and that is truly disturbing. Or, at least, it would be, if we didn't have one pretty much like it already living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Of course, Obama's planning to fly the Chinese flag over the White House, anyway...maybe he'll leave it up because he feels more at home underneath the red-and-yellow than the red-white-and-blue...
There's my two cents.
