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.

This guy needs to be gone. A truther, really, this guy is another one that needs to be hung around Obama and the democrats necks through 2010, and 2012.
Thanks!
muchas gracias. :)
That’s the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Bob Avakian is their leader. I’ll see if I can find that page (with Van Jones) in English.
Vaya con Dios, amigo!
Now I wonder if he's done any writing for Avakian's publications. I don't know if I have the stomach to dig through this stuff.
There was a button right on the page for the English version, but it didn’t seem to be working, at least for me.
Anyway, I’m glad you found a link because I’m going to bed.

The link appears to be the Spanish version of this:
http://www.october22.org/Endorsers2007.html
Interestingly, Van Jones appears on the Spanish version, but is missing from the English version.
I think this is the group that Michelle Malkin was referring to today on Glenn Beck. Activity Van Jones was involved in having to do with police “brutality”.

Now he’s denying he was EVER in the group ( I can’t use that name for this bunch)!
It is about an anti police brutality demonstration, led by Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP leader Bob Avakian). The website is an RCP website.
Just more proof of the kind of people he (Van Jones) calls friends and allies. The same is true for BO.
Great minds think alike.
More important than any of the rest of this is the frequency that I am seeing SEIU being associated with the main-line communist groups.
I’m starting to wonder how pervasive it is that the government workers union is in league with the communists. Thoughts from anyone would be appreciated.
