The Obama administration: crooks, gangster and loons

Here's how the mainstream media covers the President's back.

Controversial Obama Administration Official Denies Being Part of 9/11 "Truther" Movement, Apologizes for Past Comments

But, this fact is never checked out.

Green jobs czar signed 'truther' statement in 2004
President Obama’s “green jobs czar” Van Jones has been targeted again and again by conservatives for his controversial views and now they’ll have another item to use as fodder.
Mr. Jones signed a statement for 911Truth.org in 2004 demanding an investigation into what the Bush Administration may have done that “deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war.”
His name is listed with 99 other prominent signatories supporting such an investigation on the 911Truth.org website, including Code Pink co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodi Evans, comedienne Janeane Garofalo, Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney of Georgia and others. He's identified as the executive director for the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights on the statement, which he founded before going to the White House. The statement is available here. Mr. Jones is number 46.
Mike Berger, a spokesman for 911Truth.org, told the Washington Times over the phone that all of the signers had been verified by their group. He said 9/11Truth.org board members “spoke with each person on the list by phone or through email to individually confirm they had added their name to that list.”

And, he has a history of conspiratorial beliefs.

Timing Of Protest Is Suspect
Mumia supporters disrupt youth event

A supporter of a Pennsylvania death row inmate denied that demonstrators were trying to upstage a long-planned dialogue between Oakland police and local youth Thursday night.
If you believe that, perhaps I could interest you in purchasing a bridge located on the edge of West Oakland.
More than 150 demonstrators marched from 14th Street and Broadway to the Oakland Federal Building to demand that the Justice Department re-open its corruption investigation of the Philadelphia Police Department.
Supporters of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a death row inmate convicted for the 1981 shooting death of a Philadelphia police officer, said the protest was called after the Supreme Court on Monday rejected claims that Abu-Jamal, a former radio journalist and Black Panther, did not receive a fair trial.
``We knew there was another event going on, but the timing of the court decision is what dictated when the protest was held,'' said Van Jones, a San Francisco civil rights lawyer who helped coordinate the protest march.
Jones said about 15 protesters occupied the rotunda at the Federal Building on Clay Street in an act of civil disobedience with the hope they would be arrested.
About a half-dozen or so determined protesters, disappointed with the refusal of police to arrest them, then left the building to stand on Jefferson Street in front of the City Center West Garage, he said.
That location just also happened to be where police and youth participants gathered to hold ``Code 33,'' a dialogue between about 100 police officers and local youth.
Code 33 is copspeak for clearing radio transmissions, or in other words, listening closely.
Four people were arrested, cited and released at the scene, police said.
The demonstration forced cancellation of a police and low-rider procession, prompted authorities to close the parking garage to people who planned to attend the event and briefly trapped some commuters in the garage.
Police Chief Richard Word also believes the demonstrators' intention was to steal the thunder from what was supposed to be a positive community event.
``They chose the timing and location because the media was there for Code 33,'' said Sgt. Dave Walsh, Word's chief of staff.
``It was unfair to the kids who worked so hard on this event,'' he added.
