Van Jones - Communist or Racial Opportunist?

Glenn Beck has played some fairly provocative video of Mr. Jones' social beliefs the last few days. Regardless of what you think of Mr. Beck, these statements and beliefs came out of Mr. Jones' mouth. Typcially I balance my news with a liberal point of view from MSNBC, but they have not even commented on President Obama's Green Czar. The silence is a little deafening. I would like to hear some thoughtful counterpoints to Mr. Jones statements. He's the one who says he's a communist.
