WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday. Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans. The resignation comes as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate. Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration." The matter surfaced after news reports of a derogatory comment Jones made in the past about Republicans, and separately, of Jones' name appearing on a petition connected to the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. That 2004 petition had asked for congressional hearings and other investigations into whether high-level government officials had allowed the attacks to occur. "On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide." Jones said he has been "inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to stay and fight." But he said he cannot in good conscience ask his colleagues to spend time and energy defending or explaining his past. Jones flatly said in an earlier statement that he did not agree with the petition's stand on the 9/11 attacks and that "it certainly does not reflect my views, now or ever." As for his other comments he made before joining Obama's team, Jones said, "If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize." Despite his apologies, Republicans demanded Jones quit. Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana said in a statement, "His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate." Missouri Sen. Christopher Bonds said Congress should investigate Jones's fitness the job. Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck repeatedly denounced Jones after a group the adviser co-founded, ColorofChange.org, led an advertising boycott against Beck's show to protest his claim that Obama is a racist. James Rucker, the organization's executive director, has said Jones had nothing to do with ColorofChange.org now and didn't even know about the campaign before it started. Jones, well-known in the environmental movement, was a civil-rights activist in California before shifting his attention to environmental and energy issues. He is known for laying out a broad vision of a green economy. Nancy Sutley chair of the council, said in a statement released early Sunday that she accepts Jones resignation and thanked him for his service. "Over the last six months, he had been a strong voice for creating jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources," she said. "We appreciate his hard work and wish him the best moving forward." ___ Associated Press writer Philip Elliott contributed to this report.
Poster Comment: Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration." He should be deported to Russia or Kenya with his Boss.

Obama is a white hating bigot ... like his 20 yr. Pastor, Reverend Wright and the pedophile and communist who helped raise Obama for eight years in Hawaii ...... FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS. Don't forget old FRANK who Obama loved in a "poem" for the greasy, worldly sweat on his strong neck. Sick stuff.
nice (sarcasm off)
If he didn't agree with it, why did he sign the petition? I had no issue with anyone signing a petition which asked for an investigation--a real investigation--into the events of 9/11. In my opinion, one which is shared by many, 9/11 was either a MIHOP OR LIHOP (Make it happen on purpose or Let it happen on purpose). Either way, the government seems to have had a hand in it. Too many anomalies, ommissions and inconsistencies in the "official report." That is not to say that I think Bush organized it. I doubt Bush could organize a piss up in a brewery. But it is hard to believe that some government agents were not aware of and involved in it.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Let's keep this administration on the defensive and color it PINK.
Why aren't you pinging your bestest pal Yukon, after all it does lurk on this forum and would continue to be proud of you.
Right on, Mr. Tull.
Beck? Remember Turner?
Eat sh*t you old ignorant, odiferous hag. And, go shave that moustache of yours. It is, after all, three days old. I hope you haven't been doing your usual muff-diving at the rest home in the past days.
Sally won't like you when she sees these comments. Of course you knew that. Thats why you spread your foul and awful tongue here as opposed to licking her ass on LP.
Hmmmm.
Personally ..... I think Michael Vick should join that dude down at the car wash. F*** Michael Vick and Van Effin Jones.
LOL! You hit the nail on the head--if those two represented most women I am afraid that civiliazation would not endure beyond their generation.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Every post it makes contains a comment about appearance and sex. Or is an attaboy to another poster. Any poster that obsessive is sure to be wearing an ankle "bracelet".
They must be sitting in Washington laffing their asses off. Note....RACIALLY CHARGED... Prepping the boys in the hood "RACIALLY CHARGED... Prepping the boys in the hood" --- ROFL! Go ahead and PREP the dumbass "boys in the hood" ......... The boys in the suburbs and in the country are loaded and waiting.
This guy Beck seems fairly astute. Maybe I will plug my TV back in. It has been turned off since 1993.
....... stealing their welfare check (or "crazy" check) or forgetting Michael Jackasson and his perfectly average music?
see OI's #13, JD
Yes, O_I makes some interesting observations. The funny thing is that out of all that has been brought out about this Jones guy, the ONLY thing that actually got him in trouble was signing that petition. Not the fact that he is a communist and a racist. No, no one cared about that. But let someone question the purity of the gubmint and it's on like neckbone. ahaha.

I've got fireweed .... good for cysts? Here ...... you STUPID F*CK! From Wiki: The young shoots were often collected in the spring by Native American people and mixed with other greens. They are best when young and tender; as the plant matures the leaves become tough and somewhat bitter. The southeast Native Americans use the stems in the stage. They are peeled and eaten raw. When properly prepared soon after picking they are a good source of vitamin C and pro-vitamin A. The Dena'ina add fireweed to their dogs' food. Fireweed is also a medicine of the Upper Inlet Dena'ina, who treat pus-filled boils or cuts by placing a piece of the raw stem on the afflicted area. **** Buckeroo and mininggold ..... you are the two most worthless slobs I have ever observed on the net. Both of you exude ignorance with nearly each and every one of your obtuse, shortsighted, unthinking, empty, illogical, mindless, irrational, puerile, feeble, witless posts.
I think it's kinda like saying neo-nazi skinheads support Ron Paul, the one thing has nothing to do with the other. Just like nazis can recognize Ron Paul is a Constitutionalist ... communists like Van Jones can see that 19 A-Rabs in a cave didn't do 9-11.
The U.S. Govt is a tyrannical butcher; U.S. taxpayers are accomplices to international murder and mayhem. If you satisfy your fears by bowing to this butcher, you forfeit your humanity for a pound of flesh.
You need to think on a much larger scale.
Isn't this grand! Some deep dark prearranged descriptor about your crytic metaphors with your pal yukon requiring a hastily delivered mind numbing recant and defensive post filled with rancor. Did Mr. yukon dig out your cysts with his lashing tongue? I don't think that is possible as his tongue is 24/7 up the GOP asses of GWBush and fiendish elements of social decay. Here is another mesmerizing picture of your GOP icon that enjoys your tongue up his ass....
the mass beneficiaries of 9/11 were poppybush and the carlyle group and dickcheesey's pals of the CFR of whom he had close ties as the former director of said CFR not to mention all the new gigs tossed to the LFSQH's (lawyer face shooting quail hunter) halliburton. baalzabush's fellow skull and boners of the CIA made a bundle on their shady stock dealings to boot.
The best gun to have, is the gun you have, when you need a gun.
Mark If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled into a false security (April 1968).---Ezra Taft Benson, US Secretary of Agriculture 1953-1961 under Eisenhower
Replace this bum with Ralph Nader, of the "Green Party". Put Ralph in charge of growin' the green stuff, hemp. Put millions of Americans to work growing the "green stuff". Legalize the "green stuff", tax the "green stuff" like tobacco, and the US economy has a fightin' chance of recoverin'.
Oh My... you've gone and done it now. Now it won't ping you to every article it posts or every post it makes. You are definitely off the list of those it considers to be it's buddies. LOL
Of course they knew. Why else do you think they picked him? This whole thing could be as simple as Acting President Soetoro playing up to his hard-left and black supporters by putting one of their own into a prominent position where he could formulate public policy. If he managed to survive,good for them. If he was exposed for what he is to the public and forced out,well,"good for them",too. They showed their hard left and black support base they were with them,but "those damn right-wing Republican racists dun run da man out ob de job!",and the money and support keep rolling in. Meanwhile they put another one in the same job who is less public and controversial,and things continue as planned. Either way,Acting President Soetoro wins.
Anytime Obama can be tied to the hip to a racist POS, he loses support. No,he GAINS support. You are forgetting that amongst his white leftist base there is no such thing as a racist black. They will see this as just more proof of white Republican discrimination and racism,and the money and support will roll in. Of course,the blacks know better themselves,and they were as giddy as school girls over the black racist being put into such a powerful position. They too will "understand" that the forced resignation isn't Acting President Soetoro's faulut,but "de falts ob dat ebil ol white mans!" that forced the Messiah to kick the brutha to the curb against his will. Again,the money and support will roll in. This is guerilla political warfare, and this is one small win. We agree on this.
What makes you think the Feebs were even ALLOWED to do a background check on Jones? Quick,who gives orders to the Feebs?
If the Boyz in da Hood" are ever come out of it and bring their violence with them,the ones that make it back will never be convinced to leave "da Hood" ever again. They are only "bad" because the people who live around them let them get away with it. They may not understand this now,but they will quickly come to understand it once they leave their protected enclave.
100% on target! These things always have "wheels within wheels" and operate on multiple levels. Absolutely. Just because Barry Soetoro is a rank amateur pushed upon the public stage before he was ready doesn't mean the people who pushed him out there are new at this. They have been playing this game behind the scenes for decades,and understand how it is done.
Yes, Barry's DAD. I agree. I have been saying all along that this is the real reason he will never show his birth certificate. Davis is named as the father,not Obama. Yes,this DOES make him eligible as president because he would be a natural born citizen,but it also destroys his whole "legend" as a African,not the offspring of slaves. There is a LOT of status related to being an African amongst American blacks,and Barry has been playing on that his whole life. If this truth were to ever be revealed it would prove his whole life has been based on lies. He can't allow that to happen.
The election results in 2012.
THAT is a theory I can buy into.
No,he GAINS suppor. (SP) If that were true pete, he would have kept him.
Best post of the thread.
Anti-racism is code for white genocide. The call of "equality," is a siren song that can only mean the destruction of all that we cherish as being human. -- Murray Rothbard It is perfectly legitimate to assume that the races are different in their cognitive abilities and in their willpower and accordingly are unequally suited for the task of setting up societies, and that the better races are characterized in particular by their special ability to strengthen social bonds. -- Ludwig von Mises If that were true pete, he would have kept him. He gains support from the blacks and the hard-core communists by hiring somebody like that,and then he gains support from the "moderate" whites when he fires them because it reassures them that he is a moderate himself. Win/win.
Thanks.
I can't believe that this scenario with Jones and his 9-11 Truth connection wasn't pre-planned. Given the fascist nature of our situation, with many industry titans wanting to create more control over non-believers with a police- state, I think many Democrats are/were aware of the plans for 9-11-01, and approved the deed. IMO, the truth about that day is destined to come out, though probably not the REAL version. Which involves huge insurance fraud schemes, that many politicians were party to. So, we will likely begin to hear about other folks like Van Jones's beliefs. Heck, the new Japanese leader is supposedly a Truther, right? Personally, I can't wait for the house-of-cards to flop. But, the desired result isn't about bringing down the Bush/Cheney group; it's designed to make Americans hate their government so much, they'll accept another one, like something the U.N. might offer.

It just wouldn't do to have a high ranking official expressing doubt about the biggest PsyOp of the Century. Oh'bummer, had he had kept him, would have had to face questions about his own "thoughts" on 911 and whether he agreed with Van's comment - if only tacitly given that the craven Presstitutes of the Lamestream Mediawhores would not dare broach the subject.

As for Jones, there's a car wash down the street that's always looking for talent. The job will give him hope and put a little change in his pocket.
