Good Riddance! Commie scum

What's wrong with wanting an investigation into whether or not the government had a hand in 9/11? I think it's a perfectly legitamate question. If no one did anything, they won't have anything to hide.

Its the tired,bored white man witch hunt syndrome that has to go after anyone connected to the prez. Pure nitpicking.Just move on...if its in you.

"If no one did anything, they won't have anything to hide."
Heh, you're talking about the lying liars that promised "never to use 9/11 for political gain". It's not as if Bush Co fabricated a case to invade another country nor used every opertune moment to scare the US public sh!tless....
Whilst I agree with Rep Mike Pence of Indiana "extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate", I only wish republicans could see the brazen hypocrisy in that little gem.

Van Jones was a hideous embarrassment.Who is picking and vetting these people?!! Do they have any idea how damaging this is to the administration? His presence gives credence to all the campaign fear-mongering from the right about "palling around with terrorists" and "Marxist black liberation theology" Rev Wright - type characters etc etc .
It's all coming out,which is why this guy resigned on a Saturday night over the long labor Day weekend. Van Jones recorded a CD with the convicted cop killer Mumia abu Jamal.He defended AlQaeda in 1998 when Clinton tried to go after them.There is a video of him calling republicans a**holes.This is exactly the kind of dirt that Limbaugh and Hannity and the repub noise machine wants and the amateurs surrounding Obama have served it up.Unfrickenbelievable.
Bill Mahrer is right.Take away his internet and make him sit in the park where he can yell his wack theories at pigeons.

That'll teach others to shut up. Most people have caught on to the government's role in 911. Nobody is stupid or naive enough to still believe it was planned by some guy in a cave in Afghanistan.

it couldn't be obama! could it?

Just a reminder to one and all:
Obama: 'Judge me by the people who surround me':

Jones is just one of a dozen radical anti-American leftists Obama has appointed to "czar" positions, to circumvent the senate approval process and vett these people and their radical pasts and agendas in front of the American voters.
All of Obama's "czars" need to be vetted in public by senate hearings. If these people are going to have more power than Cabinet secretaries, they need to have the same oversight as Cabinet officials.

obama dropping poll numbers says it all. obama is a fraud.

The mere fact that Obama had this slug in his administration is just more evidence that Obama is the presdient for left-leaning radicals and those who have some sort of score to settle against America.
Obama has no use for Americans if they are a middle-of-the-road, hard-working legal American citizens who plays by the rules and pays their taxes.
Waiting to hear Obama "recalibrate" his words on this issue.

All I can say that if Obama and his czars pass all this cap and trade and healthcare reform there will more than likely be a revolution.I mean I am surprised there wasn't one yet. The guy was voted in by dead people and people who voted multiple times. And nothing happened to the one guy who voted something like 20 times. All I know is that Obama is a dirty character. HE has to be dirty if even his blue dog democrats won't have much to do with him. Also good riddens to the environmental guy.

I think the problem is that people hear what this guy did and link their thoughts to people such as yourself. Just the mere thought of, "Uh oh, he might be one of those guys..." was enough to sink his entire career. In an odd way, your own actions helped to get this man fired.

Van Jones just reminds people of Obama's extremism and the extremists that Obama has inexplicably surrounded himself with over the past several decades. How does President Obama press forward with "the good war" in Afghanistan when members of his staff are suggesting that the US government are behind 9/11 and not Al Qaeda and the Taliban? How does Obama say he is post-racial when more and more of his associations are so racially polarizing like Czar Jones. Democrats don't want to see in Obama what all of his associations like Rev. Wright, Flagler, Henry Gates, among others and what that says about him. His associations does say something about Obama himself that cannot be overlooked. There are just too many people like Van Jones in Obama's circle.
Saying that the government is behind 9/11 is like saying that Japan was behind the dropping of the atomic bombs on them during WWII in order to end their suffering in a lost cause. It is a viewpoint that is not based in reality. In my opinion, Obama's precipitous drop in popularity is due to the fact that Obama's policies are now seen in this same light - as not being in touch with reality.

This article somehow fails to mention that Van Jones was describing himself as a revolutionary communist as recently as last year. The guy was a loser, but don't feel sorry for himself. He'll fall back into a lucrative position with a Soros-funded group.

This issue here is about Obama, his shady and radical associations and the lack of a proper vetting process by his F-Troop that put this guy in the White House to begin with.
Obama is only as good as the people with whom he associates with. He has surrounded himself with racists, radicals, tax evaders, liars and communists. Further compounding this problem is that he is aided and abetted by a complicit MSM.
Obama's propaganda wing of his government (aka, the news agencies) is reporting Van Jones' resignation is due to him signing a petition as a 9/11 truther. That's only a fraction of his problem. One only needs to do a quick google and YouTube search to read his self-avowed communist statements and see the various radical groups he belonged to. But what does anyone really expect from the MSM since they never bothered to covered this story in the first place.

One czar down, 29 more to investigate.
skipthesong
birhters (people who want Obama to prove he was born in the US) and truthers (those who believe the US government actually pulled 9-11 off).... two peas in a pod!

Again the US government tries to silence those who know too much.

That'll teach others to shut up. Most people have caught on to the government's role in 911. Nobody is stupid or naive enough to still believe it was planned by some guy in a cave in Afghanistan." Sabi, so you believe OBL lives in a cave? Well, you've come around a bit.
Again the US government tries to silence those who know too much." Yeah, I would prefer they silence those who know too little!!!

A member of the tin-foil hat brigade in the Obama administration. What a surprise.

Now the town hall repub "don't tread on me crowd" is going after the idea of having all czars forced out of office.I can't believe how inept are the people Obama surrounded himself with.Careful vetting is vital.What amateurs.
