You'd think it was bad enough that we have a President of the United States who is detached enough from reality to think what we really need is a "Green Jobs Czar"...
Well, that's what you'd think. But of course Barack Obama wouldn't be Barack Obama if he didn't go out and find a foul-mouthed, race-baiting communist community organizer to actually be the "Green Jobs Czar"...
So is that bad enough for you? Of course not...
Now we find out Van Jones is a truther. You just can't make this shit up:
President Obama's "green jobs" adviser could become a mounting liability for the Obama administration, as the latest revelation about Van Jones shows his belief that the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks may have been an inside job.
Jones joined the "9/11 truther" movement by signing a statement in 2004 calling for then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and others to launch an investigation into evidence that suggests "people within the current administration may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war."
The statement asked a series of critical questions hinting at Bush administration involvement in the attacks and called for "deeper inquiry." It was also signed by former Rep. Cynthia McKinney and Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans.
The discovery comes after Jones had to apologize Wednesday night for "offensive words" he uttered in February when he called Republicans "assholes." He said the remarks "do not reflect the views of this administration" and its bipartisan aims.
But such statements just scratch the surface of Jones' past commentary.
He also has consistently leaned on racially charged language, pointing the finger at "white polluters and the white environmentalists" for "steering poison" to minority communities, as he makes the case for lifting up low-income and minority communities with better environmental policy.
A declared "communist" during the 1990s, Jones once associated with a group that looked to Mao Zedong as an inspiration.
It's worth noting that at some point in time Barack Obama said, "Sure, let's make Van the Green Jobs Czar. What could go wrong with that?"
Remember: According to Bill Maher, Obama's one of the smart ones...
I'm not sure what a green jobs czar is supposed to do or what authority the job brings with it, but it is obvious either the vetting process went awry, or maybe this is a just title without authority and a way for zero to reward a buddy.

But his creases are perfect, Dennis...
And a czar's job is to make sure the baksheesh circulates profitably...

Try looking at this from the perspective of Obama working against the interests of America. Not doing too badly is he?

Do these Czars love or hate America??? Are they communists for real or are they for Freedom that America stands for??
