Both!! From [this article](http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/09/controversial-obama-administration-official-denies-being-part-of-911-truther-movement-apologizes-for.html). > [@](#): > > Van Jones, a top environmental official of the Obama administration issued a statement Thursday apologizing for past incendiary statement and denying that he ever agreed with a 2004 petition on which his name appears, a petition calling for congressional hearings and an investigation by the New York Attorney General into “evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur.” And the article is from the liberal media – ABC News – so it MUST be true! ---

I read the part at the bottom of the article, in which Van Jones calls Republicans assholes. I’m wondering where a liberal gets off being as jerkish as Glenn Beck! No wonder Mr. Beck has exposed him! ---

Van Jones is, I believe, a partisan. Here is a guy who has demonstrated time and time again to have a deep seated hatred of republican people, and republican culture. I’m not saying that Van Jones is a partisan. ---

I’m disappointed. If he was a birther he’d say we didn’t know for sure the gummint wasn’t responsible, and anyway Beck is Hitler. But instead he says he doesn’t agree with it. We Democrats are such pussies. ---
