President Obama’s “green jobs czar” Van Jones has been targeted again and again by conservatives for his controversial views and now they’ll have another item to use as fodder.

Mr. Jones signed a statement for 911Truth.org in 2004 demanding an investigation to what the Bush Administration may have done that “deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen perhaps as a pretext for war.”

His name is listed with 99 other prominent signatories supporting such an investigation on the 911Truth.org website, including Code Pink co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodi Evans, comedienne Janeane Garofalo, Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney of Georgia and others. He's identified as the executive director for the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights on the statement, which he founded before going to the White House. The statement is available here. Mr. Jones is number 46.

Hasn’t this guy been fired yet?

One evidently has to be dumb...Pelosi dumb...Boxer dumb...immeasurably dumb - in order to be selected to be a member of the “Cabinet-O-Loons”.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Fricken clown.

[Rodebrecht]

Yet he trusts the government with health care and protecting the environment, right?

[BGHater]

Awesome, maybe he will find out about UFO’s as well.

I cannot think of any previous administration — including Clinton or Carter — in which he could have survived the disclosures that have been made to date.

Only in this one do we get rationalizations instead of a resignation.

If I surrounded myself with folks that smoked crack to advise me on life issues would that reflect positively on me? I think the person I surround myself to advise me reflects on me. Jesus the real “One” surrounded himself with unsavory characters but he advised them and changed there lives.

Isn’t there some Obama quote something like “Look at the people I surround myself with.”

Oh goody, a “Twoofer” on top of being a nutty racist asshat.

We need to drive those commies back into a cave somewhere..........

[a fool in paradise]

Isn’t there some Obama quote something like “Look at the people I surround myself with.”

"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."

[goodnesswins]

The “commies” are being OUTED.....maybe soon we’ll see pitchforks....

[truthguy]

Who here believes that Obama will be forced to throw this clown under the bus? It seems like every day another embarrassing fact is revealed about this buffoon. How much longer can it go on without the Democrats themselves demanding this guy be fired?

Obama doesn’t set a low bar, he sets no bar.

[eeevil conservative]

Shouldn’t Janet have this guy on her hit list instead of folks who own a copy of the Bible, Constitution, or have served our nation in the military..or practice their 2nd Amendment right?

the irony is beyond amazing...

[Army Air Corps]

Oy veh, folks.

[thecraw]

Jeanine Garofalo and Cynthinia McKinney are 9/11 TRUTHERS? No! Say it ain’t so!!!!!! (ROFL!)

[nufsed]

Tax cheats and communists. I think that’s a rare mix for a presidential cabinet.
