President Obama’s “green jobs czar” Van Jones is apologizing for the second time in two days, this time for signing a 2004 petition for an organization that seeks to expose the "official lies and cover-up surrounding the events of 9/11."
This comes after a video that recently surfaced in which Mr. Jones called Republicans a disparaging name at an energy lecture in Berkeley, California last February. He apologized for doing that on Wednesday....
Mike Berger, a spokesman for 911Truth.org, told the Washington Times over the phone Thursday morning all of the signers had been verified by their group. He said 9/11Truth.org board members “spoke with each person on the list by phone or through email or individually confirm they hae added their name to that list.”
“I think in most cases they spoke to them personally,” he added. “No one’s name was put on that list without them knowing it.”
By Thursday evening, Mr. Jones apologized for signing the statement and said he doesn't feel that way today and never has had such thoughts, although the 911Truth group claims to have personally confirmed support from all of their signers.
"In recent days some in the news media have reported on past statements I made before I joined the administration – some of which were made years ago," he said in a statement provided to the Washington Times. "If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize. As for the petition that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever.”
"My work at the Council on Environmental Quality is entirely focused on one goal: building clean energy incentives which create 21st century jobs that improve energy efficiency and use renewable resources,” he added.

Remember something....
These people HATE a hell of a lot more than they think.
TO THIS DAY many of these whackos still believe that it was all a scam, and the Bush blew up the Trade Center himself.
In their psycho, drug-addled mind, it’s the only explanation that makes sense.
Is the Obama Administration comic book series available yet?
On a positive note - the only one -
I noticed a major news outlet picked up this story.
Maybe MSM will pick it up soon.

“Tapper says Jones failed to address how his name came to be signed on the petition, Carpenter says Jones apologized for signing the petition and Gateway Pundit says Jones denies having signed the petition.”
Sounds like a typical Three Stooges episode to me! I’m so very, very glad these people are in charge of our national security! /s
Apology not accepted. Get out of the White House, you racist enemy of the Republic.
And take your racist, commie boss with you.
His bio on etl’s post proves he does not deserve a reply. Fire him...
I’ve noticed local radio (various formats) is picking up a lot of speed on getting the word out. Seems the natives are restless with the virtual blackout from the State Run Media.
I am confused. the article from tapper indicates Jones said he never signed it and doesn’t agree with it.
Someone comes out and says all persons were verified.
So has Jones come out a Second time today?
I think he’s gone.
This Alinsky tactic of isolating a target then
going after him works great. Beck is my hero.
(So are you)
MSNBC...... Oh MSNBC..... (sound of crickets)
0bama won’t throw him under the bus unless this guy eats a live baby on TV.
I think O will sacrifice this guy, only because he’ distracting attention at the wrong time. Plus, the bus is getting lonesome ;-)
It’s more important to take out Valerie Jarrett-she recruited him and wields tremendous influence with the Obamas. Get Van Jones first and then ask who selected and vetted him. Keep tugging at the threads. Keep them on defense.
LOL. Not only is he a self-described communist, but he also admits he doesn’t know what a ‘green job’ is, and he’s the Green Jobs CZAR!
Astounding.
He should be the “Watermelon Czar”! Green on the outside, red on the inside.
Liar Liar Pants on fire. One question for Van the Red Czar
If you do not agree with the 9 / 11 Truthers’ why would you sign a petition?
Does he appologize for the communist statements and the anti-whitey Black racist statements, too?
