Van Jones was close Obama advisor whose actions caused his dismissal

According to an article that I read in Washington, D.C.'s leading newspaper Van Jones had little contact with Obama, and that he answered to the Council on Environmental Quality.

I'm not not convinced that calling Republicans a vulgar name warrants dismissal. If it does, we should have impeached Dick Cheney for telling Vermont senator, Patrick Leahy, to engage in an unnatural act with himself on the floor of the senate.

Signing a petition, asking for an inquiry whether the U.S government, under the direction of G.W. bush, participated in the atrocities of September 11, is not too bright if one envisions working for the U.S government, but then intimate ties with oil and mining companies did not bar political appointees in G.W. Bush's interior department from serving and relaxing regulations to enable corporate depredation of Appalachia.

I don't know whether Jones ever voiced a favorable or sympathetic view toward Marxism. There are many admirable aspects about Karl Marx. and he must have favorably impressed a few U.S. citizens inasmuch as he was the European correspondent for one New York newspaper in the mid 19th century.

But concerning any single action which Van Jones committed to warrant his dismissal, I haven't yet encountered one. I am speaking of an illegal, immoral, or unethical action, past or present. Using vulgar language, signing a questionable petition, and remarking favorably about Karl Marx is neither illegal, nor immoral, nor unethical--stupid, perhaps, but none of the others.

You really don't think that Jones was as bad as Brownie of FEMA fame was, do you?
