OK, I've saved some hilarity from the Memory Hole.

Some leftists put up a site, ostensibly to 'save' Van Jone's job from evil rethuglican reich-wingers (h/t Ace's commentators). Some of these 'signatories' are hilarious.

Someone said that many of these signatures (that were still living in my cache) were being trashed by the site owners, and lamented that they were heading for the memory hole. I saved them, for whatever reason.

(NOTE: some of these comments contain RACIST!!!!111!1!!!!111!! stuff that I'm not responsible for. I am NOT a racist. I oppose Obama because and solely for the reason that his leftist thoughts and deeds are truly repugnant to me. Of course, Leftists use the RACIST!!11!! label because that's their only recourse when confronted with what are clear and concise facts opposing anything Obama (or any Leftist philosophies) have to offer. It's easier to slam a straw man than to face the fact that Leftivism (be it fascism or socialism) is detrimental to the U.S.A.'s forward progress.

That said, here's the saved petition comments...

SUPPORT VAN JONES

Skip Mendler, Wayne County (PA) Green Party Committee
Van Jones, author of Green Collar Economy
and presently Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council
on Environmental Quality, has come under concerted and withering fire
from the paranoid wing of the Republican Party, including commentators like Glenn Beck.

We the undersigned urge President Obama to resist calls for Jones'
removal. It would be a tragedy if such a visionary yet practical man as
Van Jones were to be hounded out of office by lies, distortions, and
innuendo. Stick by him, defend him, and make it clear to these
right-wing bullies that such tactics as theirs are doomed to failure.

Everyone is always Sly did this, Sly did that. He's a big celebrity. Everywhere I go people say "hey, are you Sly's brother?". I'm sick of it!!!! I made a movie. I made a music video. It's time to even things up a bit and give Frank Stallone what he deserves too. It's time to spread the wealth around. I want what he has!!! I've tried everything else and nothing works. We need more true red commies like yourself, Van Jones. It's not fair!

I come from Communist country. I hear you in trouble. It was Beck, no? That big trouble maker! I really wish your boycott shut him up. I too want America to turn Communist and go, like you say, broke. I like what ur president is doing making America socialist and weak. I very glad president put America hating goon like you as czar for green jobs. Maybe one day I come to America and you get me green job?

I fully support Van Jones and all his beliefs! The Man has a long history of taking my innocent statements and associations out of context too. If Whitey succeeds in getting his tossed aside, I will gladly come out of retirement and fill his place. GOD DAMN AMERIKKKA!!!

# 65: 4:42 pm PDT, Sep 4, Hugh Jass, Washington D.C.
Please Obama! Do not replace this crack pot. Based on your previous actions I'm afraid you'll just appoint an even nuttier crank.

Mr President, please do not let the crazies take control of our government. We need Mr. Jones in the position he's in.

Anytime you want my fellow commie brotha.

I support you in your efforts, Van Jones. I'm impressed by your cribbing of the notes of Lenin and Marx, just like I do in my game reviews. After all, a logo, and some plagiarism, can do a long way.

# 42: 3:42 pm PDT, Sep 4, Ted Kennedy, Washington D.C.
I agree with you, Van Jones. Don't let your support of a murderous ideology or your attempt to lower living standards via "green fascism" drive you away from the White House. Hell, I once drowned a woman and was traitor to my country and still I was a Senator for over 30 years! Stay in, Van!

I like what I see Mr. Van Jones. If things don't work out for you in the northlands, we may have a wonderful opportunity for you here in Havana. Raul needs a strongarmed true blooded commie such as yourself looking over his shoulder. He's a little too weak for my taste, but he's still learning.

One of my stallar moments..."You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, 'We can't believe it happened here. We can't believe it's these suburban white kids.' It's only them. Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He's not going to shoot up the whole school." - Van Jones

Yeah, dont let the truth that Glenn Beck is saying get you down Van. So what is you are a radical, revolutionary, communist/marxist? I dont understand why someone would have a problem with you in the White House. So what if you want to crap on the Constitution!

As a former San Franciscan, I have always been deeply impressed by social justice leader Van Jones. The right-wing media's attempts to bring him down are shameful and unfortunate. Let's focus on the remarkable contributions he can make to the greening of our economy, not the fact that he once considered himself to be a Communist.

# 14: 2:40 pm PDT, Sep 4, Van Jones, Washington D.C.
In a statement issued Thursday evening Jones said of “the petition that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever.

This country needs Van Jones. His attackers are motivated by fear and hatetred and the need to pick on someone in the Obama Administration because there is no one else. Jones is a visionary and a compassionate change-maker. Our economy needs the jobs that he is working to create.

The bullying tactics of the right must not be allowed to succeed.

---

Ace has hammered Charles Johnson of the ever-decreasing in size Little Green Footballs (CJ's become completely and utter nutty, for whatever reason, post-Obama election) for his support of Van Jones...

Well, let me caution Charles Johnson about something, since he is clearly on such a jihad against what he perceives as religious-based or religion-influenced thinking.

As my friend once observed:

You can have a religion that doesn't have a God.

You cannot, however, construct a religion that doesn't include a Devil.

Think about it, CJ. Who's faith-based here? Who's letting a bit of cultism infect their logic?

It ain't me.

Just because His Satanic Majesty Glenn Beck says it, and it's echoed by his demoniacal consort Michelle Malkin, doesn't mean it's untrue.

The Prince of Lies mixes truth with lies, remember, so his lies gain credibility.

As for Van Jones? If he lasts until next Wednesday, I'll be surprised.
