re: #2 Charles

If I have to choose between believing Van Jones or believing 9/11 Truthers, there’s no contest.

Truthers lie constantly. It boggles my mind that people are willing to accept their word for anything.

But what about this crucial sentence in the article:

“He did not explain how his name came to be on the petition.”

He very pointedly fails to says that he didn’t sign the petition. He simply glosses over that fact.

I suspect he did indeed sign it, and either:

a. Had no idea the significance of what he was signing; or
b. Is now backpedaling as best he can, without stating any obvious falsehoods.

So, basically, he doesn’t deny being on the petition, just that he no longer (and never did) believe in what the petition stood for.

The Truthers have not been proven to be lying yet. Yes, they’re Truthers, and completely demented as a result, but he signed on to their petition, and doesn’t deny that he signed on to their petition, even now.
