Well since every single attack was accompanied by a video confirming what he said, the only person who smeared him... is himself. Others just brought his words into the light of day, and in the case of the 9/11 petition... his signature. Van Jones has no one to blame but himself.

I do not agree. Van Jones is a stain. A stain is useless but still obviously present. 

Useless unless used to prove a point. Think Clinton.

Not only no, but HELL no.

I've seen all his clips and there is no way it's a vicious smear.  This is what this guy is.

I'm REALLY concerned at how he was selected by 0bama's TOP adviser.  What's her story and how did the rest of these Czars get vetted?

We need to clear out all of 0bama's Czars and get him to go back to Congressionally vetted cabinet members.

There was to much evidence that he was a radical communist his share  the wealth ideas are very un-American. The president of the U.S. does not need some one like that advising him on anything. Liberals don't worry there are plenty of socialist appointees left.

Apparently "vicious smear campaign" is the new phrase for right wing conspiracy, ridiculous Dem's.

If it is a smear campaign to hold these idiot czars that Obama imports accountable for their words and deeds then AMEN to the smear.
