Normally, we expect a little taste from the punditry on special occasions, but this is tone-deaf serial race-baiter Van Jones we’re talking about. So, instead of flowery words about bringing the country together, we got a borderline racist remark comparing the president’s address to “Django Unchained.” How nice to know that one of the Left’s leading lights finds parallels between the president’s speech and a revenge-fueled race war vigilante with a taste for (sometimes nausea-inducing) grotesque violence.

Whatever you think about the movie or the president, it’s hard to think of a situation in which comparing the two would be appropriate. Hopefully the president himself does not share Jones’ political blood lust.

@VanJones68 you r off the chain. The RWNJ heads r about 2 explode. — simala wright (@05yayawt) January 22, 2013

Well, we can agree that he’s “off the chain,” although we would be using the phrase as one uses it to reference a rabid dog. Hopefully the actual president will attempt to take more inspiration from “Lincoln” than from “Django.” At least we can hope.
