ABC News ^ | September 3, 2009 | Jake Tapper

[Title was edited to comply with space requirements. Full, accurate title is: "Controversial Obama Administration Official Denies Being Part of 9/11 "Truther" Movement, Apologizes for Past Comments"

A top environmental official of the Obama administration issued a statement Thursday apologizing for past incendiary statement and denying that he ever agreed with a 2004 petition on which his name appears, a petition calling for congressional hearings and an investigation by the New York Attorney General into "evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur."

Van Jones, the Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, is Number 46 of the petitioners from the so-called "Truther" movement which suggests that people in the administration of President George W. Bush "may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war."

They have to update Saul Alinsky’s rules, if you want to take over the world under the cover of darkness, then don’t pick idiots who do nothing but spout hate on youtube and sign whack-job petitions. Try to find someone who does not say “white farmers are spraying toxins on immigrants.” Because - after 19 or 20 consecutive denials and apologies the people might get doubtful.

“Jones has learned well from the Illegal Alien—just lie as hard as you can when caught and you’ll be able to get away with whatever you want.”

Don’t know about illegal aliens - The Clintons turned that technique into an art

Obama ain’t gonna throw him under the bus because since it’s Fox News that’s driving this it would be giving Fox News a huge victory over Obama and Obama just can’t stomach that.

At least ABC covered it. Just searched “Van Jones” at CNN’s website: Bupkus on this story: the most recent hit is an August 5 puff piece.

He’s going to apoligize for everything. Words do NOT mean anything to these radicals. They need to stay in power to reach their objectives. They will say ANYTHING we want to hear.

“Obama ain’t gonna throw him under the bus because since it’s Fox News”

The Kenyan has his eye on his dropping approval ratings. The issue of his czars is gaining traction, Van Jones in particular. If the Van Jones or czar stories shows up in the NYT, he’s cooked. I think he will dump Van Jones in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

I now refer to Obama as the “Illegal Alien,” since he refuses to prove he’s an American.

Are you kidding? The story is all over Fox...from the Factor to the Friends. Even Stu Varney slipped it into his segment on unemployment this morning.

My vision of hell is being trapped at an airport having to listen to the endless CNN propaganda.

This is great. Fox and Beck have cornered Obama and his media lackeys.

Jones has become the poster child for Obama’s crazy czars and a symbol of the socialist ideology at the heart of the Obama adminstration. He’s killing Obama but Obama can’t get rid of him right now because it would be handing a huge victory to Fox News. I predict Obama’s front men will instruct the mainsteam media to hang Jones out to dry. . . and then they’ll have the necessary cover to get rid of Jones.

First, there was a crack in CNN and now ABC is sort of maybe seeing the light as well. Take a look at the banks and automobile industry. If they don’t wake up soon, the media might be next on the block.

I agree, because Barry has the exact same schooling and breeding from Alinsky and other maxism philosophies!!!
