Someone break the bad news to Van Jones, conservatives are by far the biggest self-identified political group in America, almost double those calling themselves liberal.
(CNS News) — Left-wing activist and former Obama administration official Van Jones said “watch out” because his Save the American Dream movement, along with the Occupy Wall Street protest movement, would eclipse the Tea Party in 2012.
“It was very easy when [the] Tea Party first started, to dismiss them, to laugh at them and say ‘this is just nothing, it’s some kind of joke, it’s a fad, it’s going to go away,’” Jones told reporters after the Save the American Dream rally in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.
“It would be very easy to make the same mistake again,” he continued. “But the potential here is about 10 times greater than the Tea Party because if you look at the Tea Party [it] represented about 20 percent of the American people when they started. We represent 80 percent — so, watch out.”
