Had this been a Bush cabinet member saying the same of Democrats, he would have been brutally lambasted, it would have played over and over and over again on the media, there would be talking heads making harsh and critical comments about it and there would be calls for his resignation. You would have heard Dem's all over the media and the blogs calling such a demeaning, low class comment as "typical of the Republicans" and "representative of those..." who don't have the same opinions as Democrats.

Can anyone tell me if this video has played anywhere but FoxNews?
Please tell me your biggest concern with Van Jones isn't that he called Republicans a**holes. Of all the things he says, being called a name is the least of my concerns.
