[Former Democratic Party Chairman Howard] Dean: Jones' Resignation a 'Loss for the Country'
FOXNEWS.com ^ | September 06, 2009 | FOXNEWS.com

Posted on 09/06/2009 1:55:34 PM PDT by Son House

The outspoken Democrat and former presidential candidate vigorously defended Jones, who resigned in the wake of criticism over his past statements and associations -- including his past support for a group that believes the Bush administration may have been involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.

"I think he was brought down," Dean told "FOX News Sunday," saying he just spoke to Jones. "I think it's a loss for the country."

Dean pointed to Jones' credentials as a Yale Law School graduate and best-selling author.

Though Jones signed a 2004 statement calling for an investigation into possible Bush administration involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks, Dean said Jones didn't realize what he was signing at the time.

"I don't think he really thinks the government had anything to do with causing 9/11," he said.

But 911Truth.org spokesman Mike Berger, whose group sponsored the statement, earlier told FOX News that Jones knew what he was signing.

Republicans swiftly called for Jones' resignation following the discovery that he signed the petition.

1. Dean pointed to Jones' credentials as a Yale Law School graduate

2. Jones signed a 2004 statement

3. Dean said Jones didn't realize what he was signing at the time.

. ^ Yale Law School must teach them not to read what they are signing....if Dean is to be credible.

Dean is got to be really stupid if he thinks he has any credibility left after saying something so blatantly false. Of course, State Run Media will be happy to have Dean return for another performance

“I think it’s a loss for the country.”

I think America will survive without Jones as czar of green jobs (eye roll).

America needs fewer czars more successful CEOs.

Pay attention though .. still very few are talking about the fact the guy was a radical revolutionary marxist. They will sweep this under the crazy truther cart and keep the heat off O about all the radicals surrounding and advising him.

Funny. Obama throws a Communist under the bus. Guess he’s not really down for the struggle after all. He’s just down for Obama!

Now it starts.
And he was a Boy Scout, was fond of children, dogs, and music, right?
Helped old ladies across the street, etc.

I want to hear the next part about how Holdren didn't really want to put
anti-fertility and sterilization drugs in the water supply.
That he's just a good, misunderstood Ivy leaguer and idealist.

Why is Screamin Dean a spokesman for the obozo admin? Of course nobody knew who the Truthers were back then. What a joke answer.

Pray for America and Our Troops

To the extent they have to talk about it, the slime stream media will make it about Jones calling pubs “assholes”, a much lesser sin than what he’s really all about.

Exactly. I watched this ridiculous forum this morning and that immediatly popped.

Dean said Jones didn't realize what he was signing at the time.

Yea, he's so damn smart but just signs sh&t willy nilly? I don't think so Howard. Idiot, Shame on you!

There should be plenty of similar jobs in Cuba, China,
and Albania. Or, say, Chicago.
