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.

However, if they did know they evidently thought no one would make a point of mentioning it. No data needed OI. Check history on political appointees. Many have had to walk the plank and be sent home. However, of those I can recall NONE were thrown out for readily available public information. Rather it was ALWAYS non public information that finally surfaced. I refuse to believe that the crew managing Obama were so stupid to overlook such, in fact it would be interesting to see the FBI background check on Jones. If the FBI saw NOTHING, then we are in trouble. Thirty five million blacks in this country and one of two appointed is thrown out, the other nearly went. Emanuel and that group play both sides of the street.
As long as Oh'bummer remains in the Offal Office that is the over-riding "Trump" on the race card. Some of the people I work with are black and some Oh'bummer Supporters and I cannot understate the psychological effect of having Oh'bummer in the Whore House. It over-rides all other considerations in their minds. That Van was jettisoned will be alright because Oh'bummer is in the White House and he's black and because he's black it's alright.

Actually I see it as "a wash". Van as an outspoken individual who had expressed doubt about the 911 "Official Conspiracy Theory®" vitiated his marxist racialism. Actually since he was known as such it would have brought more light on what the Oh'bummer maladministration was up to. That they also could not have.

Above is all from Fox, something that has always been available to the public. Axelrod and Emanuel threw the red meat out there for the goys and they ate it up like candy7 They must be sitting in Washington laffing their asses off. Note....RACIALLY CHARGED... Prepping the boys in the hood OI.
Once he said he "didn't read" the petition he became useless to anyone, IMO.
Perhaps, but I remain unconvinced, because at this point the hubris and arrogance of this crowd is monumental and creates blind spots. Additionally they seem to actually get a charge out of rubbing people's noses in it. It strokes their massive egos. You have to see that they really do think they are a superior breed.

Damn.
Interesting assumption - I happen to agree with you. Beck is unloading whatever he can into Belly Of The Beast knowing full well FOX is under extreme pressure from the WH...fortunately this is a Win-Win for us. Worse case is he gets fired, the 0bama-Davis gubmint is exposed for the Reichmeisters they are (even if FOX takes the bullet for them) and Beck becomes a martyr. And he WILL become a martyr in that case... No way will Hannity, Limbaugh, and conservative news outlets etal. shut up about it; This will only embolden and unleash them further.
Actually on one level we could both be right. The 911 comment could not be allowed to stand AND by rejecting Van and assigning it to is marxist racialism it creates the illusion that it is Oh'bummer that is rejecting that. I stand by my analysis of how black Oh'bummer supporters will react. Oh'bummer is one of God's Chilluns' and can do no wrong. These things always have "wheels within wheels" and operate on multiple levels.

Davis as in Frank Marshall Davis?
Yes, Barry's DAD. What a sordid tale....Ever see pics of Marshall Davis as compared to Barry's Kenyan "dad"?
Interest blog and brief overview of that situation: http://astuteblogger.blogspot.com/2008/09/obamas-real-father-connecting-dots.html
i have, yes. i don't see any Obama Sr in him. did you see the photos of Barry's mother partially clothed in Marshall's apartment? hmmmm.
ah, yes, interesting site.
Besides Jones and Holder we have a La Raza member sitting on the Supreme Court ... and countless hebes sitting everywhere else ...
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.
What about that cheap mexican Supreme Court Justice imported from La Raza ... how do you suggest we rid ourselves of that bigot ???

Not a thing you can do about the South Bronx bitch but pray that the Grim Reaper makes an early appearance.
Speaking of appearances ... there's no question that bitch had a run in with the ugly stick !

LOL ! It's no wonder she has an attitude !

Holder was nearly run off. Jones never got to select his white secretary, he is gone. Two blacks, both known liabilities from the BEGINNING. Blacks say nothing, not a peep, one has to wonder what will indeed raise them to anger.
Blacks have much smaller brains than whites and most of them are incapable of abstract thought. Jones is a perfect example.
Congress should be investigating the stupid job itself - what a joke. Green Czar my ass.
Glenn BEck exposes artistic tributes to communism at Rockefeller Center
The arrogant commie, ignorant black, white hating *sshole never had a meaningful job in his sorry life. Why start now? Good riddance to the dumb*ss. But then again, little Van Jones lives in The Bay Area and is a relatively decent looking male ............ so many options in gay porn industry may be opening up to him.
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.

I agree, there's always more than meets the eye with these puppets, but taking this socialist down is a plus. Anytime Obama can be tied to the hip to a racist POS, he loses support. This is guerilla political warfare, and this is one small win.

"Jones was an self-described "communist" during the 1990s and previously worked with a group dedicated to Marxist and Leninist philosophies. His comments, even in recent years, were often racially charged. He's blamed "white polluters and white environmentalists" for "steering poison" to minority communities. In 2005, he drew a distinction between white and black youths involved in shooting incidents by referencing the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.

I think Beck knows his time is limited so he's firing all of his guns. You know they'll come after him, but they are eventually coming after all who expose s'bags so they all should follow by example.

I personally wish Jones had stayed on. Simply by using his own words in context, showed millions of people who Obama is associated with, and that kind of publicity can't be purchased at any price.

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.
