Van Jones: ‘Nancy Pelosi Is the Greatest Person Ever’

Aug. 7, 2012 11:37am Jason Howerton

Van Jones Tells YouTube Channel THNKR: Nancy Pelosi Is the Greatest Person Ever

Van Jones (Source: YouTube)

So, Van Jones really likes House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

During an interview with the YouTube channel THNKR, Jones said went as far to say that things “would be a thousand times worse” without Pelosi.

“I think Nancy Pelosi is the greatest person ever,” Jones said. ”She is strong. She’s tough. She’s smart. She gets beat up in the press and nobody sticks up for her and says, ‘Hold on a second, everything you don’t like about the Democrats — you think the Democrats are too weak — would be a thousand times worse if we didn’t have Nancy Pelosi, who’s been the backbone throughout this whole last couple of years.’ I desperately want her to get that speaker’s gavel back.”

Jones, who was appointed by President Obama as “special advisor for green jobs” in 2009 before resigning, said the responsibility to fix the country also falls on the American people.

“We’re a better country than we’re showing up right now,” he added, telling people to stop complaining and start taking action. ”We have to work harder. We have to be smarter.”

Jones also revealed that he is a “huge fan” of Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post, a comic book fanatic and a regular watcher of the TV show “Scandal.”

Watch part of Jones’s interview with THNKR here:

  Put Amazon on the endangered species list.
  
  Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bozo has pledged $2.5 Million dollars in support of same-sex marriage in retaliation to Dan Cathy.
  
  Mr Bozo is willing to use his wallet to take a stand so let us do the same.

  Pelosi got more accomplished in a week than Boehner could in 3 years.
  He’s been a total failure as speaker.
  Kvetching won’t change either history of the record.
  All you dolts HAVE, is name calling.

  @Verceofreason, Boehner is no prize that’s for sure, but if your holding Pelosi up as some prize I feel sorry for you based on the people you admire. The stupid things I’ve heard her say… like the most popular about Obamacare, you have to vote for it before you can know what’s inside? Isn’t that rather stupid that you have to vote for something before you know anything about it?

  Ask the American People what they think of fiberboard face Pelosi ?
  Those same American People, who she proclaims to serve…HATE her !
  She’s an INSULT to any intelligent form of life.
  Someone needs to grab her by the udders, toss her into a disposal truck
  and let the turkey vultures feast away !

  Does Pelosi’s Non-Union Vineyard Use Illegal Aliens
  
  http://www.adjunct.diodon349.com/Attack_on_USA/does_pelosis_nonunion_vineyard_use_illegal_aliens.htm
  
  I am looking for another source. Pelosi owns a hotel, some restaurants & a vineyard. Apparently They are all non union. She is such a ________ hypocrite.
  
  How can Pelosi be the greatest person when her businesses are non union & yet she preaches the union line.
  
  FAIL!

  Nancy Pelosi‘s socialist political views are exactly what have kept her elected in San Francisco, along with the flow of union campaign money. The staunch “union supporter” Pelosi has even received the Cesar Chavez Award from the United Farm Workers Union. But her $25 million Napa vineyards and winery, she and her husband own are non-union shops. The extra profit she earns is more than she gets from labor unions. But I don’t think she wants the rank and file to know this. Do you?

  The multi-millionaire investors own a large stake in an exclusive resort hotel in Wine Country, the Napa Valley Auberge Du Soleil Resort. It has more than 250 employees. But none of them are in a union, according to Peter Schweizer, author of “Do As I Say, (Not As I Do) – The Hypocrisy of Democrats” and a regular contributor to the New York Times.
  
  Pelosi is also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900 employees. The chain is – you might have guessed — a non-union shop. It is a very high-end restaurant group with locations in Carmel, Sonoma and Danville to name just the locations I dined at. Hardwood-fired ovens, exhibition kitchens, Napa wines, a very nice experience. I did notice some Hispanic kitchen help and busboys. I’m wondering if they are illegal alliens? No, the Speaker of the House wouldn’t hire illegals, would she

  “She is strong. She’s tough. She’s smart. ”
  
  I’ve informed many times about Van Jones’ lack of intellect and his politically influenced push through the university, but this statement illustrates better than anything I could describe how much of a dummy he is.
  
  The biggest dimwit, flake and oddball in Congress….bar none….is Nancy Pelosi….and it is she this “brilliant” Yale graduate thinks is smart.
  
  That pretty well sums it up.

  Come on Van. She might be tough and smart, but she’s also from dream-land the way she tells lies and is as corrupt as some of the others in congress. No, this isn’t someone to admire in any sense of the word. You only like her because she’s all the above description, just the same kind of person you are. People like those who are like themselves.

  I may have some spelling mistakes, because my eyes are bleeding from reading this story. 2+2=5, the muslim brotherhood is great for Egypt, the fence at the border is 95% complete, the rich don’t pay their fair share, I should pay for your sex habits, and there are no muslim extremists in the white house, western oil is bad and bloody middle eastern oil is good. Everything thing spewed out of your commie mouth are lies! So your false and made up praises to the wicked witch of the west makes me laugh at the extreme pressure the Obama Regime must be under. Stop with the stupid lies already you’re making yourself look more like an arse than you already are! Talk about someone grabbing an anchor when they are already sinking. Nancy Pelosi = Waste of skin.
  Next time I’ll try to have an opinion.

One would think the stench of flagrant arrogance would put them off one another. YUCK! Both of these less-than-human-beings would kill the other without blinking an eye if they thought they were truly threatened.

BE THREATENED, then, both and all of you.

WE THE PEOPLE are sick of you, don’t listen to your satanic lies and can’t stand the sulfuric acid stench that accompanies your presence.

Have you all noticed how these people seem to be folding in upon themselves? their physical stature is deteriorating to match their soul size. Pretty soon they won’t be as they wither from the inside out.

  Ratchet up the hate there, granny. This is the perfect chance, given it’s about that “boy” Jones. I think you should accelerate the inevitable, take advantage of that advanced directive and pull the plug on your wild-eyed hate and bigotry, you old fool. If you do that, Jesus will no longer have to hide his head in shame at your presumed association with Him.

Why do extreme left wing progressives commies and socialists point out how intelligent they are? The Kenyan Emperor Pro-Tem is alleged to be the smartest president ever! Yet cannot form an intelligent though without a team of speech writers and an effin teleprompter…Pelosi and Jones combined don’t have enough smarts to come in out of the rain.

To quote Pelosi “we have to use natural gas..because it’s natural” MENSA material there for ya!

Van Jones has about as much credibility as Reid’s source about the no taxes paid in 10 years. Nancy did do a lot of strong things as speaker but she was always on the wrong side of every argument and the truth never got in her way. She is a puke.
