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.

No, these American murdered were a loss to the country.
"The McCains and Obama at Ground Zero
Cindy McCain is also there. Michelle Obama is not"
"Yet did not Van Jones recently state..that he did nor read and was not aware of what was on the 'truthers' petition (which he SIGNED)?"
That would make a good account of the academic work at Yale.
"But I did not understand that Critical Legal Studies are a subplot of the Frankfurt School when I..."
My choice isn’t listed but a write-in vote may get me banned.
Who was it who described Michelle as "Stokely Carmichael in a Jackie Kennedy dress"?
A loss to the country, only in the sense that not having this jacka$$’s Commie rantings exposed every day could give Bambi’s administration more time to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.
But we must not give up or lose focus. So many Marxists, so little time.
A loss for the country? Well, if so, then this is the type of losses we badly, badly, seriously need more of!
Don’t these Democrats ever do anything but whine? A man with Jones’ background cannot be justified in a high government position, period. If Dean wants to defend him, that just clarifies who Dean is.
44 Czars in DC my friend,
44 Czars in DC! Take one down pass him around,
43 Czars in DC!
Dean said Jones didnt realize what he was signing at the time.
It seems like a perfectly logical thing for an avowed communist and a guy who claims he’s fighting America to sign.
Dean is a crank leftist from Manhattan, by way of Vermont.
bump
I guess Dean’s right, if your country happens to be Cuba.
44 Czars in DC my friend,
44 Czars in DC! Take one down pass him around,

Yes, having reviewed the evidence against Bush, Loose Change, a 9/11 documentary made for a school assignment by college kids,
me being of better legal mind than Yale Law School graduate and White House green jobs adviser Van Jones and a recently appointed Supreme Court InJustice,
I find Bush not guilty.
Case dismissed.
And thanks for the added visual effects too, this is about taking our Country back from these fools that got elected because the press works for Democrats
Maybe Van Jones...forgot to read the resignation letter....you know the same mis-step he had with the Truther petition....
Should be a good one for Happy Hour.
