'Green Jobs' Adviser's Past Could Stir Trouble for White House at Critical Time
Fox News ^ | 09/03/09

Posted on 09/03/2009 3:35:21 PM PDT by MissesBush

President Obama's "green jobs" adviser could become a mounting liability for the Obama administration, as the latest revelation about Van Jones shows his belief that the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks may have been an inside job.

Jones joined the "9/11 truther" movement by signing a statement in 2004 calling for then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and others to launch an investigation into evidence that suggests "people within the current administration may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war."

The statement asked a series of critical questions hinting at Bush administration involvement in the attacks and called for "deeper inquiry." It was also signed by former Rep. Cynthia McKinney and Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans.

The discovery comes after Jones had to apologize Wednesday night for "offensive words" he uttered in February when he called Republicans "assholes." He said the remarks "do not reflect the views of this administration" and its bipartisan aims.

But such statements just scratch the surface of Jones' past commentary.

He also has consistently leaned on racially charged language, pointing the finger at "white polluters and the white environmentalists" for "steering poison" to minority communities, as he makes the case for lifting up low-income and minority communities with better environmental policy.

A declared "communist" during the 1990s, Jones once associated with a group that looked to Mao Zedong as an inspiration.

Jones' exceptional past is reminiscent of associations noted during the presidential campaign, when then-Sen. Barack Obama doggedly fended off claims that he was tied to radicals and overzealous activists.

Having a communist czar or two around is a real oxymoron or some kind of moron. This guy will be farmed back to Oakland by labor Day.

The traitor-in-chief is not exactly being subtle about his status as a communist traitor mole.

He’s just one of how many anti-American slimes in this Administration? One down and how many more to get thrown under the bus? The American people are fed up. That truth hasn’t reached the arrogant, in-your-face Elitists in DC. Hopefully, they’re packing their offices now and letting their staffs know they’re TOAST.

Obama? Van Jones? What is the difference? Same POS. they mirror each other, only difference is that O has a bunch of Chitown whiteys in charge of him.

Without those Chitown whiteys, O would still be a freakin’ communist..er community organizer.

Evidence of his lame excuse of an apology (for getting caught) means they’ve recognized there’s a growing backlash to him and those like him who are defiling our National treasures, National security secrets and our White House. Daylight is the best disinfectant.

"That's just going to play to the political sensibility that those on the right have that the Obama administration is socialist, literally socialist. ... It is unwise to bring in people who actually do label themselves socialist or communist."

Yeah, can't have people who aren't afraid to call themselves commies, they have to be sneaked in under cover.

Why is there NO member of Congress asking why an avowed COMMUNIST has been appointed to this position?

King Obama is a communists and an American hater. He has shown no interest in protecting America with the current CIA BS. There is no doubt by the associates he lives with, this rat face will destroy America. Too bad we have so many ignorant Americans that agree with his socialists ideals and Congress members are rotten to the core. All of them! Even those that know and hide are just as bad as the communists themselves.

The thing is, Democrats have no sense of shame. If a Republican was on the record saying things like this guy has said, that person would have been forced to resign in shame and count themselves lucky not to be tarred and feathered. But no one is going to say boo to this guy, he's not going to be tossed out, in fact, he will probably find a way to accrue more power.

Which gets us to the BO White House vetting process. Either they knew about the huge, looming skeletons in his closet, and didn't care, or they didn't have a clue prior to is appointment. Either way, they look bad, that is, either arrogant or dangerously amateur.
