White House stands by 'truther' Van Jones

The White House would not say whether the White House's green-jobs czar, who has been linked to Sept. 11 conspiracy theorists, continues to enjoy the confidence of the president, but an official said he is still a part of the administration.

Van Jones, the president's special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), has come under fire this week for using an obscenity to describe Republicans and for signing a petition to get Congress to investigate whether the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were an inside government job.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs would only say Friday that Jones, no stranger to controversial or offensive statements, is still a part of the administration. He declined to say if Jones still has the confidence of the president.

In a meeting with reporters in his West Wing office, Gibbs referred numerous questions about Jones to the CEQ and a statement Jones released Thursday saying he did not agree with the petition signed by so-called "truthers."

Gibbs did say the president disagrees with those statements as well.

Of course they stand by him (for now, hehehe). He is just like they are.

Look at Obama's inner circle throughout his life...and the picture is clear.

Van Jones = Frank Davis = Bill Ayers = Bernardine Dohrn = Jeremiah Wright = Tony Rezko = Rashid Khalidi = Raila Ordinga = Carol Browner = Rahm Emanuel = John Holdren = Rosa Brooks = Eric Holder = Ezekiel Emanuel = BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

This is who the man is. A cauldron of corruption, greed, marxism and communism...with disturbing ties to radical Islam.

...he is also now the President of the United States of America, and he is going about, with a will, and very methodically destroying the free market and fundamental republican principle within our nation.

OBAMA IS AN ABJECT MARXIST IDEOLOGUE

Since, as a “czar”, he is only answerable to Mr. Obama, Czar of czars, the buck stops there. If he still has a job, he obviously still has the confidence of Obama.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Will the real Obama please stand up?.....Thank you!

[Deo volente]

His new job:

[nufsed]

HE’S A COMMUNIST!!!!!!!!

[kjo]

As of 4:30 EDT Friday...the MSM was still silent about Jones, except for Jake Tapper’s blog.

Seems like the Swiftboat thing all over again. The media is determined to protect the Democrats...even at the expense of their own credibility...not that they have much left.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Look, all this stuff that's being "revealed" about Jones has got the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble and their ideological issue (children)-cum-Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) scratching their heads wondering what's the fuss about?

All the leaders and stalwarts of the Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) feeeeeeeeel the same as Jones.

Arguably the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble and their ideological issue are "the Establishment" now.

[unkus]

If he still has a job, he obviously still has the confidence of Obama.

Freeper SERKIT suggested a "deck of czars" How about that?

BTW, FreeRepublic's "deck of czars" did not show up on google just a couple of minutes ago. There were three hits for FR up until today. Yahoo still displays FR hits.

[ZULU]

No surprise.

[martinidon]

How much do these Czar’s make? I need a new job.....

[B Knotts]

He’s one of them. Why would they ask him to resign? Obama believes the same stuff, probably...he just won’t say it out loud.

Obama sat and listened to Jeremiah Wright for 20 years.

[Frantzie]

Obam is standing by his racist pal.

[madinmadtown]

The basement isn't big enough for the number of fellow travelers in the Obrhama White House. If he gets rid of Van Jones, then most of the White House will be vulnerable. If Van Jones were to get the axe, which I doubt, Soros has been very, very supportive of him, then the Obrhama White House will get very, very dirty. My estimation of this incident is that it is the skirmish before things get serious. Actually, the Obrhama White House is going to get even nastier however this incident plays out. They are Communists. Communists never play fair or pretty.

[unkus]

I agree. You are right on. These evil ones are going to get nastier by the day. Things will come to a head sooner than later.

[GloriaJane]

We should hang this jones around obama and the dems neck. Start asking the questions: Is obama a communist like jones? Does keeping jones mean that obama is a communist sympathizer? Does keeping jones in the obama administration mean that the democrats in congress are communist sympathizers?

[opentalk]

This is just like Reverend Wright during the campaign. He didn’t get why the public was troubled with the relationship. Took him a week. It will take a few days, but predict Czar is removed from job to a more low profile position.

On another note, Ramadan is almost over and Obama is scheduled to return to the White House..
