Van Jones has resigned — as announced at midnight on a Saturday night before a holiday weekend.

Does that seem strange to anyone else?

Here’s the REAL importance of Van Jones’ resignation: it proves once and for all the genie is out of the bottle in terms of resistance to Dr. Utopia’s longerm plans for socialism in this nation.

The MSM refused to cover anything relating to Van Jones, because every crazy, racist, hateful thing this lunatic said is too reminiscent of all the crazy, racist, hateful things Jeremiah Wright said…and that Dr. Utopia, his wife, and Oprah Winfrey listened to and ate up for all those years at Trinity United.

Can’t report on Van Jones, and who he really is, without reporting on the similar beliefs held by Dr. Utopia, his “fashion icon” wife, and Lake Michigan’s own herds-of-cattle-devouring Charybdis, Oprah.

Can’t do that, now can they?

And yet — with no media coverage whatsoever — Van Jones was forced to resign, because people on the Internet caught wind of who he really was and conservatives and moderates stood up with outrage. Dr. Utopia was forced to backpedal on his plan to brainwash our nation’s school children into creepy, singing, Obots on National “Give Me Your Children” Indoctrination Day September 8th, because the blogosphere has been up in arms about his insistence of spending “quality Utopia Time” alone with small children he doesn’t know.

The Internet gaveth much to Dr. Utopia in his campaign…and now it taketh much from his presidency.

When Sarah Palin, private citizen, can take down the Liberals’ poorly conceived and amateurishly managed healthcare push USING ONLY SPORADIC POSTINGS ON FACEBOOK, despite the MSM’s best efforts to marginalize and destroy her, you know the MSM is officially irrelevant…a worthless propaganda arm of the rotting Democratic party.

The full scope of all this is not clear…but Van Jones is a turning point. It will be seen as such in time. Conservatives and moderates are mobilizing for the first time ever. They are banding together and defeating socialism, radicalism, and communism even with the MSM in full onslaught mode, working feverishly to protect Dr. Utopia.

THE MSM IS FAILING.

DR. UTOPIA IS FLAILING.

The tide is turning.

Seven Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan Get 1/20th Time Given to Jackson

Two days after Sunday’s Washington Post carried a letter from a woman who asked “where was the coverage of my nephew or the other soldiers” who were killed in the days after Michael Jackson died, attacks in Afghanistan took the lives of seven U.S. soldiers, but their deaths earned a total of less than one minute combined on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts on Monday night — 1/20th the time devoted to Jackson a week-and-a-half after he passed away.

Army 1st Lt. Brian N. Bradshaw was killed in Afghanistan, fighting in a war to protect all Americans, the same day that Michael Jackson died, prompting a letter to the Washington Post, which the paper published on Sunday, from Bradshaw’s aunt, Martha Gillis, who scolded media priorities:

My nephew, Brian Bradshaw, was killed by an explosive device in Afghanistan on June 25, the same day that Michael Jackson died. Mr. Jackson received days of wall-to-wall coverage in the media. Where was the coverage of my nephew or the other soldiers who died that week? There were several of them, and our family crossed paths with the family of another fallen soldier at Dover Air Force Base, where the bodies come “home.” Only the media in Brian’s hometown [in Washington State] and where he was stationed before his deployment [Alaska] covered his death.

Emblematic of the disparity in priorities, CBS anchor Katie Couric read her 13-second item on the deaths in Afghanistan as she sat in Los Angeles with the Staples Center, the venue for Jackson’s memorial, in the background. Those 13 seconds were squeezed in around just over 13 minutes, more than half the newscast’s 22 minutes, dedicated to Jackson — a disparity of 60-to-1 (790 v 13 seconds). ABC and NBC allocated about eight times more time to Jackson than Afghanistan (2:50 v 20 seconds on ABC; 3:00 v 23 seconds on NBC).

On CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, news reader Erica Hill and Cooper spent nearly 40 seconds discussing the “Wife-Carrying World Championship” in Sonkajarvi, Finland and how the winner got his wife’s weight in beer, but allocated just 15 seconds to Afghanistan.
