This mornng Gateway Pundit Broke the story that self-proclaimed Communist and Obama Green Jobs Czar was a Truther, someone who believes that 9/11 was planned by George Bush so he could go into Iraq. Gatway Found Van Jone's name on a petition from 2004 that was eventually given over to the NY DA along with their 9/11 claims by the group 9/11truth.org
Here at #47 on the list is none other than Barack Obama's communist Green Czar Van Jones:
The news that Obama's Green Jobs Czar had a weak link to realty spread through the internet all day and eventially was revealed to the TV audience by Glenn Beck today.
Tonight Jake Tapper of ABC New is Reporting that Van Jones has apologized for all the crazy things he said, but denied the crazy thing he signed.
(Excerpt) Read more at yidwithlid.blogspot.com ...
So when is ABC going to report on the 2500 scientists that did not sign Al Gore’s Global Warming petition thing?
Saying I am sorry if you are offended is not the same as saying I am sorry for what I said or did to cause that offense.
Jones issued a typical democrat non-apology apology.
Let me get this straight.
The petition was signed in October, 2004, long before he was tapped for Obama’s czar.
He was well known at the time and his name gave the petition “gravitas” in the world of radicals.
The petition was widely publicized, but Jones is only learning of it now and he denies lending his name.
HOW CONVENIENT!
I hope communist traitor Van Jones doesn’t quit.
He’ll be a stinking rotting red albatross hanging around the traitor-in-chief’s neck.
Uh oh!!
When a Dem apologizes, that means that things are REALLY going badly for him!!
SWEET!
From Tapper's blog post........
He did not explain how his name came to be on the petition.
That's no where near a denial.
My question is are we going to survive 3 more years of this stuff.
I pray to GOD we do.
No... When a dem gets into trouble, they usually
get promoted. Be afraid... be VERY afraid!
Lying like a rug.
Of course, commies always lie with impunity to advance or defend themselves
The only thing I fear is running out of ammo! ;^)
The main thing is not to let this Jones punk be used as a distraction by the Obamanoids while they do a backroom deal on healthcare.
In Van Jones’ case, since he was brought into the administration through the back door, without an FBI clearance, what possible promotion could he get?
Why is eferybody saying that Hussein didn’t “vet” his people” I suspect he got just the folks he wants or Soros wants or whoever.
He did not apologize. Lefties never do. They express some regret that some stupid people don’t agree with them.
Ping to 14. Exactly.
The only thing interesting here is that the Van Jones story has been finally picked up by the MSM, namely Jake Tapper of ABC News.
And because of that, Van Jones is a walking dead man.
Yeah, he’s only sorry that the truth about him is coming out!
His ‘apology’ reminds me of an ex-boyfriend I had. He would refuse to admit that he ever did anything wrong or accept responsibility for anything.
His idea of an apology went something like this: “ok, I am sorry if you got upset, but....”
On second thought, if he’s parading around in the WH, he obtained some sort of an FBI clearance... He was not confirmed by the US Senate, but that’s the beauty of czars: they’re selected by the president and only answer to the president. No confirmation is required.
Furthermore, we have no idea how much they’re paid, but I think we can rest assured that we’re bank rolling their salaries and perks.
look out Van, the bus is comin’ for ya
All the Obama people have to do is apologize for past outrageous statements, indeed. They don’t have to renounce them or repudiate them, just say sorry (Sotomayor, Jones, Obama, etc.) Weird, totally weird
The list, ping
“Jones has emerged as the subject of much conservative scrutiny in recent days, particularly from Fox News’ Glenn Beck. (Jones defenders point out that most of Beck’s criticism came after a group Jones helped found, Color of Change, began pushing advertisers to boycott Beck after he accused President Obama of being a racist)”
I believe that Glen Beck ALREADY had mentioned Van Jones BEFORE Color of Change started the boycott so this is one of those incredible liberal spins the article quotes.
“Glen did not say, oh color of change is attacking me, who can I go after because of it. I know, Van Jones co-founded that organization, I’ll go after him.”
Liberals have no shame .......................
