In announcing the resignation of Obama Adviser Van Jones, CNN relays Jones' contention that he is a "victim of health-care reform opponents." The center the controversy on the 9/11 petition he signed, rather than his whole life of radical statements and actions.
MSNBC, after not running a single print or video report regarding the entire Jones controversy, simply ran an AP report announcing the resignation. Here is part of the CNN report:
The White House issued a statement late Saturday saying that Jones was giving up his post at the Council on Environmental Quality, where he helped coordinate government agencies focused on delivering millions of green jobs to the ailing U.S. economy.
Jones, who denied agreeing with the petition and issued an apology last week, said he was a victim of health-care reform opponents.
"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in the statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."
"But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future," Jones said.
The Jones controversy centers on a 2004 petition he signed on a Web site that said: "A call for immediate inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11 attacks to occur."An administration source told CNN that Jones did not carefully review the language on the petition. . . . .
If Van Jones or anyone else thinks his statements have been misunderstood, misconstrued or misinterpreted, they should learn to better read, write and speak. It’s not a matter of things being open to interpretation, it’s a matter of illiteracy.
Your racist communist....That’s why.
Happens to me all the time. I'm constantly signing petitions where I don't know the first damn thing that's in them. /s
FU, CNN.
You communist LIARS!
Just exactly what "lies and distortions" were used against this commie?
if they make Van Jones out to be a victim of the far-right, then the O White House won’t have to explain how a Truther
ended up in the White House on the recommendation of O’s right hand person Valerie Jarrett. ‘cuz she should be next.
I’m truly surprised he didn’t play the race card, unless it’s yet to come.
Who in the world writes these “statements” for these people? This one in particular has no relation to reality....
I really wish he had stuck it out say another 3-4 weeks. then Obamaniac could have spent some serous time defending his commie radical @$$
Robert um um um Gibbs
You also forgot cowards on defining CNN.
I wouldn’t assume this unconstitutional czar position is going away nor will the next green czar not be a socialist but people need to keep digging up information on all these socialist czars consistently and continually. Oust them one by one to bring down the whole unconstitutional czar structure.
The democrat party would die if they didn't have the cowardly @ssholes on CNN and MSNBC to spew their lies and venom for them.
He did call himself a victim though....
LOL!.....like this is an excuse.
SO now we are supposed to believe that he will read everything before signing it?
I am not sure how this helps his position.
Gawd, these people are idiots.
I believe someone in Congress has introduced a bill to get rid of or restrain these unaccountable czar positions. Speaking of which, I wonder what the bill to the taxpayers is for the salaries and perks for all these make-work czar jobs for the president’s (of either party) cronies.
