re: #772 HelloDare

Van Jones was a signatory of this press release back in 2002. It calls 9-11 a terrorist attack.

A separate post at the top of the page demands an inquiry into 9-11, but Van Jones nor anyone else is listed a party to that.

Gee, you should have posted more of the press release…it’s very entertaining and enlightening:

The world’s most powerful nation has mercilessly bombed Afghanistan and is installing a neo-colonial government of its own choosing, although that country has never attacked the U.S. Millions of Afghans have been displaced and face starvation this winter. The administration has also green-lighted massive Israeli assaults on Palestine, and it threatens to attack Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia, and other countries. The agenda seems clear: to remake the world in the rightwing image with little regard for human consequences.

No, they’re not complete flakes and nuts like the truthers./

Wait… there’s more:

At home, we are seeing a wholesale attack on constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties, especially those of immigrants and other people of color. The administration has institutionalized racial profiling and is secretly rounding up thousands of Arab Americans and other people of Middle Eastern background. At the same time, it is giving billions to the military, offering huge bailouts and tax incentives to corporations and the wealthy while ignoring the hundreds of thousands of laid off workers, and cutting social services. All in all, we face a second, different kind of war, a domestic war, in which longstanding racism and inequity are multiplying. Both form part of a long-range strategy to turn the clock back on past gains and consolidate U.S. global domination.

Is this supposed to show us the rational side of Van Jones? Because seriously… after reading the entire thing, “Truther” isn’t any great leap from the crazy he’s peddling.
