I might go so far as to say he represented the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trotskyite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trotskyite wing<\/a> of the administration before he resigned. Thus when someone that far to the left rips Attorney General Eric Holder over Operation Fast and Furious it is news.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2012\/05\/18\/van-jones-rips-holder-over-operation-fast-and-furious-we-just-dont-value-all-life-the-same\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The lead story at The Daily Caller<\/a> today is about a radio interview that Jones had with a&nbsp;conservative radio program. In that interview, Jones made the comment:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI believe that if this was happening across our other border in Canada, we\u2019d probably take it a little more seriously,\u201d Jones said, implying much of the carelessness over Operation Fast and Furious came because many of the victims are Hispanics from Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI worry sometimes that we just don\u2019t value all life the same,\u201d Jones added.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nI don&#8217;t tend to agree with Van Jones on much of anything and I explicitly reject his vision of America. That said, I think he is right. While at the risk of being called paranoid, delusional, and an insurrectionist, I think somewhere along the line the calculation was made that in the greater scheme of things a few dead Mexicans were an OK tradeoff&nbsp;if it allowed the Administration to implement stronger gun control laws. I mean it&#8217;s not like they were campaign donors or anything.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Van Jones represented the extreme left-wing in the Obama Administration as the Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[544,1284,3794],"class_list":["post-3288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-project-gunwalker","tag-radicals","tag-van-jones"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3288"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7994,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3288\/revisions\/7994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
