Van gone? Bond wants inquiry into Obama’s Green Jobs guru

Jones
Sen. Kit Bond has weighed in to the outrage surrounding Van Jones, an expert on “green” jobs who apparently put his name on a petition questioning the government’s role in 9/11.
Jones is now the Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. None other than the Gateway Pundit is reporting that the Jones put his name on a petition calling for “immediate inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur.”
According to ABC News, Jones issued a statement yesterday saying “I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever.” There are, it seems, questions over whether Jones paid close enough attention to what he was endorsing.
Either way, Bond — who already is no fan of green jobs – wrote a letter to U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont Independent who is head of the Senate Subcommittee on Green Jobs and the New Economy, expressing his concerns.
From the letter:
I can imagine few sentiments more repulsive to our brave fighting soldiers and the vicimts of the 9/11 terror tragedy than to think the U.S. government deliberately allowed the events of 9/11 to occur. Of course Mr. Jones in hindsight is embarrassed b the public disclosure of his participation in the petition drive and now asserts he did not read the fine print of the petition. Even if true, how can the American people trust a senior White House official that is so cavalier in his association with such radical and repugnant sentiments?
Bond, the ranking GOP member of the Green Jobs subcommittee, is calling on Sanders to call a hearing into Jones’ connection to the 9/11 petition.


Jake:
You might want to rewrite “an expert on “green” jobs” … as he’s neither an expert nor even experienced enough to be regarded as a specialist.
It’s a much bigger issue than just the “concerns” of a Senator, but rather how does someone so lacking in Senior Policy experience reach this level of the government.

And don’t forget he is a self-proclaimed Communist and radical. Given Jake’s expert investigation into Obama’s birth certificate, I fully expect this investigation to jump down to the bottom of his stack of priorities.
what does 9/11 have to do with Green Jobs? Surely we are not at the point that we are going to start requiring strict loyalty oaths in order to be qualified for any government job? If this guy is not qualified, bring up the lack of qualifications, not whether or not he signed a petition on a completely unrelated topic.
Yea, high level officials being involved sound as crazy as those who have endorsed the “Birther Movement”.
One must admit however that after the way the election was stolen by Republicans in 2000, anything and everything was believable and questionable. It was also during the time that people were learning about ALL the misinformation and even outright lies concerning WMD’s. Everything was questionable. Remember all the phony heroic stores in the media, that petite little blond featured as a heroic Rambo character?
It was the most pathetic time in our history. It was as though everyone had been blinded in STUPIDNESS. They believed ANYTHING! It was the Bush administration after all who was passing down these ridiculous stories and lies.
So, for these self-righteous Republicans to believe people are crazy and unpatriotic to believe that such evil was beyond the Cheney ilk are not being truthful and the truth is not within them.
While Bond is calling for this inquiry, he should not forget to call a inquiry into the harassment that the President of The United States is receiving from some of his Republican politician peers and alleys who are obsessed with irrational spirits that are driving them so hard to harass President Obama because they are incapable of accepting that Obama is an American citizen and President of the United States.
Well, you can believe this is another crazy wagon that Republicans will jump on. He is more qualified than Brown, our little Republican appointed FEMA guru. (lol).
these Conservative Republicans are complete pieces of MESS!
On that thought, a flash of Jane Fonda came across my mind in the movie “”Monster-in-Law”, that scene where Jane Fonda is meditating with a sword in her hand waving it around in relaxed sweeping motions praying to God to remove the evil thoughts that she was thinking from her mind. Oh, how I can relate to that scene. (lol). Well, that’s what I am called to do now because I am having some really ugly thoughts about these Conservative Republicans.
why oh why would D– support a communist who happens to be a member of the “Free Mumia” ( as opposed to the “Fry Mumia” )movement? Mumia, for those who dont know is a convicted cop killer. The only thing I can come up with for D–’s support is Jones’ race.
The “stolen” election of 2000 and the “Bush blew up the towers” myths have been thoroughly debunked. The only people who still buy into either are insane.
So long radical liberal friend. Perhaps your experience as “green jobs czar” will help in finding you a new job. Perhaps there is a position in Cuba or Venezuela for you.
Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum,
Re: “Free Mumia”
Since the sentence, new claims contradicting the trial evidence have surfaced.
Eighteen years after the slaying, Arnold Beverly claimed that, “wearing a green (camouflage) army jacket”, he had run across the street and shot Daniel Faulkner as part of a contract killing because Faulkner was interfering with graft and payoff to corrupt police.[47] Private investigator George Newman claimed in 2001 that Chobert had recanted his testimony.[48] Cynthia White either died in 1992 or disappeared,[49] and it was subsequently alleged that she falsified her testimony.[50] Kenneth Pate, a stepbrother of Priscilla Durham who was imprisoned with Abu-Jamal on other charges, has since claimed that Durham admitted to not hearing the hospital confession.[51] The hospital doctors have claimed that Abu-Jamal was not capable of making such a dramatic bedside confession at that time.[9]
In his version of events, detailed in a sworn statement almost 20 years afterwards, Abu-Jamal claimed that he was sitting in his cab across the street when he heard shouting, then saw a police vehicle, then heard the sound of gunshots. Upon seeing his brother appearing disoriented across the street, Abu-Jamal ran to him from the parking lot and was shot by a police officer. The statement fails to explain the gun that was found near Abu-Jamal at the crime scene nor the corresponding firearms shoulder holster he was found to be wearing at the time of his arrest. It also fails to explain the 5 empty casings found in said firearm, and why they were consistent with bullet fragments taken from Faulkner’s body. [52] The driver originally stopped by police officer Faulkner, Abu-Jamal’s brother William Cook, did not testify or make any statement until 2001, when he claimed that he had not seen who had shot Faulkner.
Si, my only hope here is that Van Jones would also do the same for a WHITE MAN if what you are stating is true. Let’s drop this now because I could care less the race of a person if they may have been wrongfully convicted of a crime that they did not commit as IT CERTAINLY APPEARS TO BE THIS SITUATION YOU BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION.
D.Walker - another socialist without a clue. Van Jones is a self proclaimed communist. They last thing this country needs or the people want is a communist in the president’s cabinet. As far as credentials and qualifications, he has the same as Osama, NONE. And how is that change going BTW? Like the 1.6 trillion deficit, nationalization of businesses,plummeting approval ratings of the president and congress, etc., etc., etc.
D Walker,
You bring up a lot of issues, let’s take these one by one:
1. The issue regarding Obama’s citizenship status is a question of whether he meets the requirements as stated in the Constitution. He still has not shown us if he has met these requirements. This brings up many valid questions. Who enforces these requirements? Did anyone certify him as meeting these requirements? Why would he hide this information?
2. I cannot believe that you think the 2000 election was stolen. If any side was doing the stealing it was the Democrats. Once again, it was an example of how you little kids change the rules in the middle of the game. You had voting officials throwing out voting rules and starting to interpret voter intent. That is fraud.
3. WMD’s. Clinton lied. I can’t believe he thought they existed. I know you forget about what happened 8 years ago, but we were attacked. A group of thugs from Afghanistan did something Iraq had been wanting to do. We all were afraid of what other attacks may be coming. The administration acted pre-emptively based on the intelligence they had.
4. 9/11. Only someone who is completely insane would think this was an inside job. Anyone who does think this, certainly should hold a high power government position.
5. Look in the mirror. Logic does not live in your brain. Your hatred of Bush comes only from the 2000 election. Your inability to accept the rules of the game and the outcome has led to some rather questionable conclusions.
6. Obama is black. We get it. Stop using race to deflect criticism.
