Ram Bam

Bill Clinton's advice to Dems? Just ram this thing through:

Clinton recalled how Democrats regained control of Congress in 2006, which Republicans had held since 1994.

"I remember I told Hillary the morning after the election, I said, 'If we don't nominate a convicted felon, our nominee's gonna be president,'" he said.

Well, a ringing endorsement, to be sure. Meanwhile, how do we like that growing radical crowd under the bus? But really, if the darling candidate of the MSM were a convicted felon, they might not tell us about it. Thankfully we can see for ourselves our representatives' votes on a healthcare bill--and we can ram down that voting lever or punch that ballot at the next election.

More: Our old friend from New Zealand, Trevor Loudon, who tracked down some key connections. "The Blogger who Nailed Van Jones":

Loudon explains how relatively easy it was to ascertain the basic facts about Jones: "It didn't take more than a few keystrokes to realize that STORM was very influential in the San Francisco Bay Area and had ties to both the Cuban and South African Communist Parties. Jones' group-and particularly Jones himself-had ties to two former Weather Underground supporters-Jon and Nancy Frappier and the Bay Area branch of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism. Jones was the keynote speaker at a CCDS fundraiser in Berkeley as late as February 2006."

This Bay Area branch of the CCDS is basically the same "alliance" of former Weathermen, 60s Maoists and modern communists who supported Obama in Chicago, Loudon explains.

Explaining more of the connections, Loudon goes on, "Two of Jones' Bay Area radical friends, Betita Martinez (a former Maoist and CCDS member) and Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz (a former Maoist and one-time Weatherman supporter), served on the board of Movement for a Democratic Society, along with Weather underground leaders Mark Rudd and Bernardine Dohrn."

He adds, "Obama's old friend Bill Ayers was also involved, as were leaders of CCDS, including Angela Davis, who works with several Bay Area STORM alumni, leaders of the Communist Party USA, Democratic Socialists of America and several Institute for Policy Studies trustees and personnel, including E. Ethelbert Miller, Barbara Ehrenreich and Bill Fletcher Jr. The last two are members of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and founders in 2008 of Progressives for Obama."
