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.

Exactly. Can you imagine if a Bush appointee had speculated that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor in advance and had done nothing to prevent it? The Democrats and the media (same thing) would have run him out of town on a rail after weeks and weeks of media controversy.
Trent Lott lost his position as Senate majority leader merely for praising Strom Thurmond a little too effusively. But this anti-American POS is given a total pass in the media for making a disgusting, outrageous, unconscienable slander like claiming the Bush administration carried out 911. We're truly living in Alice's Wonderland.
Don't count on it. Contrary to what has always been touted, I don't think Obama has a clue when it comes to doing what is politically expedient. He's a typical liberal dunderhead; a Nancy Peloski type.
“I have it on good authority that Obama is actually a Rovian plant to destroy the democrat party forever.”
You know, I never thought of that....hmmmmm......
Question: must these “czars” pass a security check? What kind of vetting are they subject to?
Suppose they go through the standard FBI background check, what then? Does the report just go to the powers-that-be in the White House? At what point, with what evidence, would they be disqualified?
In other words, suppose the FBI turned up all the dirt we’re not seeing on Van Jones, reported it to Obama’s people, and they just said OK and hired him anyway.
Is this plausible? Is there any automatic disqualification for high government jobs?
This guy will be disappeared and on a slow news day. He needs to spend more time with the members of his cell. I’ll bet on it.
The American people have a proud heritage and love of freedom. The current group of anti-American traitors will be tossed out of office. The anger is building and the tsunami is rolling. Zero, his Gestapo Administration, and RATs and RINOs in the US Congress will be thrown out in 2010 and 2012. They can start packing now.
Same topic jumping over here.
Tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 PM EDT.
I am clueless. The only thing I can figure is they are scared to call a commie a commie.
Perhaps those on the train heading here weren't disappointed with the destination?
“Why is there NO member of Congress asking why an avowed COMMUNIST has been appointed to this position?”

There is a dual-pronged anatomical explanation for that:
1) His bulletproof black epidermis.
2) Republicanus sans testicularis.
Bush nominees face invasive vetting process
Snippet: Previous cabinet members and other government appointees who endured the rigorous screening were hesitant to discuss their vetting, but in years past it has been described as invasive, humiliating and unpleasant. But its all worth it, they say, for a chance at one of the 6,000 highly coveted positions appointed by the president at the beginning of a new administration.
After candidates fill out a barrage of forms, revealing intimate details of their personal and financial lives, FBI and IRS agents investigate and reinvestigate to verify the information.
Agents talk with former employers, high school classmates, neighbors and ex-spouses, asking when the candidate came to work each day, whether he or she used drugs or alcohol or ever paid an employee under the table.
Friday news dump on a holiday weekend! A match made in heaven for one Mr. Van Jones and a long weekend to get his resume in order.
Oh, never mind, I guess his resume is sorta, “out there” right now, lol.
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.
Obama is as racist and Communist as Jones.
PS. What would Democrats have said if George Bush had appointed David Duke as his Green czar.
Can anyone see a difference here other than one is a white racist and the other a black racist?
I predict Bambi will get this unpleasantness out of the way before his two indoctrination appearances next week.
It is becoming a bigger distraction by the day, at least to anyone who’s not in a coma.
Some pundits are sure he’ll be fired any minute now — but he’ll still be *there* inside Obama!
And everything on Tuesday will be focused on Obama's propaganda pitch to the schools. Followed by the address to Congress the next day.
One week from tonight, Jones will be ancient history to the White House.
