Controversial Obama Administration Official Denies Being Part of 9/11 "Truther" Movement, Apologizes for Past Comments - Political Punch

He denies being a truther, but he offers no explanation how his name got on the list.

I was close in my prediction - post #23.

I wonder if the media will demand to know how his name got on the list.

Before long they will run out of dribble and give up.

They know they are in trouble and it is killing them that they picked a total failure.

Watch them closely, the left wing mobsters are scrambling to keep up as something new comes out every single day.

Oh yea, now they are defending him by saying he is no longer a commi thug.

So, he now loves American for the first time in his life all of a sudden?

Sound familiar?

If Obama plays his cards right, the American public isn't going to know what has hit them until the bullet comes out the back of the head.

Go ahead, accuse me of mongering, accuse me of provocation of some sort. I don't really care what you ID-10-Ts on the left think. It's my country, too, and this pisses me off, royally. Bite me, already.

I can think of a much better descriptive word to use other than A** Hole but than I would be more than likely banned... Ok, I won't accuse you of fear mongering because you self proclaim the fact...

Because that's what this statement is -- a string of questions and a request that they be officially answered.

It's not an announcement that something DID or DID NOT happen - it's not a Truther document at all.
By this definition, Beck is a Truther. He has spent a great deal of time and effort to show the relationships and histories, and has a string of questions that he asks the citizenry to request that they be officially answered.

And why do you suppose he felt the need to seal it up?

I heard it said by a liberal that Beck is only going after Jones because Jones started the petition for advertisers to boycott the show. If that's true, I haven't heard it. I suspect the reverse is more likely true. Jones is going AFTER Beck because Beck exposed him for who he is.

I would rather you tell me what he's saying - he is just too hideous for me to watch.
With things that are this important, it's best to hear it first hand yourself, not second hand or third hand, don't you think?

That's why we'd love for the White House to set these concerns about the radicals (Obama's trusted advisors) to rest. You see, these people would not pass an FBI security check to get anything resembling clearance. On a normal day they might not even be allowed into the White House for a visitor tour. Obama appointed Jones and the rest of that bunch because he likes the way they think, and wanted to surround himself with people like that.
That is the only conclusion - the other would be that he didn't know, which is plain silly.

other places too but this sums it up quick and you can check the cites. (For interesting dimensions that will remind you of C-D click the Talk tab and the History tab.)
I presume because I have seen tape of him saying stupid things in the last couple of years.

Marooned In Marin: White House "Green Czar" Van Jones Denounced America On Night Of 9/11, Spoke At Communist Rally In 2002

The man is a self-described communist - his words.

Like many of the people Obama has surrounded himself with, he should have never been "hired".

In a statement issued Thursday evening Jones said of “the petition that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever.”
So, let's see. He doesn't deny signing it, just that he doesn't agree with the statement - do I have that right?

Usually, when we put our name on a petition, one might assume that you would agree with the statement you're putting your name to.

What a friggin liar. Do they really expect people to believe this?

I wonder what genius in the WH came up with this strategic defense of the communist, black radical, racist Van Jones.
