Day two in GB’s expose of Color of Change founder turned “green jobs czar” Van Jones, this time with an assist from the boss. Beck’s focused on the deeper questions here but as a case study in big media’s double standards towards Republican and Democratic appointees, you simply can’t do better than this. They gave The One a pass on Wright and Ayers during the campaign when McCain would have been crucified for similar relationships, ostensibly because those dealings were in the past and wouldn’t affect the way he governed. Now he’s actually bringing these turds into the White House and giving them oversight positions — and deliberately avoiding Senate confirmation hearings by making them “czars” — and no one except those excitable wingnuts seems to care. If you missed Will Wilkinson’s post this morning about the lingering cultural legitimacy of Marxism, especially as a badge of intelligence in its adherents, read it now. It’s the perfect companion piece to the double-edged scandal of our leftist president hiring radicals and our leftist media shrugging stupidly while he does it.
