Van Jones calls for an American Fall

From RealClear Politics:

Van Jones: “We are going to build a progressive counterbalance to the tea party. Eighty percent of Americans agree with everything that you say on this show, but we have no voice. We know that jobs are more important, and this phony, made-up deficit stuff they talk about. We know that people who have done well in America should do well by America and start paying America back in the form of more fair taxes.

“People who benefited from the bailouts and from the tax breaks should start paying America back. They’re doing great.

“Everybody else is suffering. That is 80 percent of the majority. And we’re going to now have a voice.

“And you’re going to see an American fall, an American autumn, just like we saw the Arab spring. You can see it right now with these young people on Wall Street. Hold onto your hats. We’re going to have an October offensive to take back the American dream and to rescue America’s middle class.”

I’ll tell you something – this guy thinks that he can call for rioting and looting and Americans will support his cause? This is the fastest way to move Americans away.  This might be acceptable in England or Greece, but we don’t tolerate this kind of behavior in America.

For one thing, Americans have guns.
