While an administration official told ABC News that controversial White House official Van Jones signature on a 2004 petition suggesting that the Bush administration let 9/11 happen in order to justify war was because he did not carefully review the language in the petition, another link between Jones and the Truther Movement has emerged...
... in March 2002, a march in San Francisco was called to demand a congressional inquiry into 9/11. Jones was on the "organizing committee."

Did the CIA have foreknowledge of the attacks?
Who was actually in control of the "hijacked planes?"
What is the relationship between Bin Laden and Bush?
Who funded, trained and equipped Al Qaeda?
More wacky question, too.
This guy will “resign” by 6pm EST today.
Write it down.
dayum! we got zips in the wire, I’lllll say
The White House is going to try and spin this as a bad vetting job. Riiiight. Sure.
And Van Jones is not the man that Obama knew, along with Wright and Rezko?
Obama said to judge him by those he associates with.
Ayers, Wright, Pfleger, Van Jones...
And on and on it goes...
So now he’ll claim that not only didn’t he realize what he was signing, he also didn’t realize what he was organizing. If this weren’t so deadly serious, it would be hilarious.
This is from ABC news ... the MSM ... Barry O is losing his shield.
C’mon GW Bush, speak out for once in your life. Show a little outrage, will ya? He should be hammering Obama on this issue.
Read the book “dereliction of duties’’
Klinton knew of this plan to fly planes into the WTC in 96. that’s why he said he warned Bush about bin laden and he was saying i knew it was bin laden.
You are giving them far too much honor, character and credit.
0bama will engage the WH to say he MIS SPOKE first. 0bama will say he was a kid when this happened.0bama will say he is not pals with him. THEN he will be thrown under the bus and 0bama will pick another self described communist lefty.
Hard to believe ABC reported this. Guess they decided in commmittee that if they failed to report, word of that might leak out, eh? I’m surmising that, alas, there was not much satisfaction at ABC in presenting such negative information.
“he’s dead, Jim”
Nail, meet Coffin....
he’ll resign, but that just means he’s not on the govt dole...he’ll get some other job offer for probably more money at some other left-wing radical group and he’ll still have the president’s ear as much or more as he did before today...
I have a question on these Czars - do they get full pay and pensions and medical benefits for life?
AND another one, as bad or worse, will replace him.
Jake’s decent sometimes. I used to hate him when Bush was in office.
However, I am starting to realize that he just in general is tough on politicians perhaps and that explains it.
Because many of his posts have been critical of Obama just like he was of Bush.
Yep.
Oh that racist Tapp....
Van Jones Supported a Cop-Killer; Van Jones Says “Kanye Was Right”
—Gabriel Malor
Slublog does the research that the Obama Administration couldn’t be bothered to do and turns up some obvious warning signs that Van Jones was a nutjob.
First, in 1999 he organized a protest in support of convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. I can’t find a link to the article (let me know if you find one), but it ran in the October 9, 1999, San Francisco Chronicle on page A17 under the headline: “Timing of Protest is Suspect; Mumia supporters disrupt youth event”. The meat:
A supporter of a Pennsylvania death row inmate denied that demonstrators were trying to upstage a long-planned dialogue between Oakland police and local youth Thursday night.
[...]
Supporters of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a death row inmate convicted for the 1981 shooting death of a Philadelphia police officer, said the protest was called after the Supreme Court on Monday rejected claims that Abu-Jamal, a former radio journalist and Black Panther, did not receive a fair trial.
“We knew there was another event going on, but the timing of the court decision is what dictated when the protest was held,” said Van Jones, a San Francisco civil rights lawyer who helped coordinate the protest march.
Jones said about 15 protesters occupied the rotunda at the Federal Building on Clay Street in an act of civil disobedience with the hope they would be arrested.
Yes, the “Green Jobs Czar” hoped to be arrested and ruined a planned event for cops and kids. In Oakland, where they probably needed that stuff badly.
Second, in November 2005, the East Bay Express noted Jones’ appearance at a conference for environmental radicals:
By the time the final speaker addressed the crowd, people shuffled restlessly in their seats as a lone infant wailed. Van Jones, a tall, dark-skinned man wearing a “Kanye was right” T-shirt under his black blazer, seemed to have little in common with his audience of predominately white hippies.
That the hardworking, apolitical FBI, Secret Service, and others turned up questionable things in all these whacko guys and gals background's during the hiring and vetting processes--heck even WE can Google and get the goods on these Marxists, but at the end of the day THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF or somebody VERY VERY SENIOR in the White House (Rahm Emmanuel?) overruled it, instructed people to look the other way, swept it under the rug, and said they are his friends and let them get hired anyway--not thinking that once again and Army of Davids would topple this order.
SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER, BROTHER!!
This is going to lead to Van Jones II, next week, and Van Jones III the week after that. This is going to stretch out all into November, with loser after loser, security risk after security risk, being shown the White House north gate exit.
In the aftermath, I CALL FOR A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION.
