Classic.
I want to see all those science advocates tear into the the 911 Truthers. C'mon guys, we can agree on this, and you're all about science dispelling myths, right?

Ok, Truthers by and large have little or no understanding of material science, engineering, basic logic, or anything else required to contribute to a rational discussion. Since they lack the tools required to properly evaluate them, they simply regurgitate whatever claims they can find that fit their preconceived agendas, regardless of how dubious it may be.
But I thought Truthers were a played out bunch, which was why we never really here much out of them anymore.

Bingo.
The White House cannot claim that "they didn't know" about Van Jones because he and the rest of these people still have to go through FBI Background Checks.

How long till this guy resigns???
Funny how the MSM and Obama were so so 'concerned" about Birthers, yet have no problem with a Communist and 9/11 Truther becoming an unvetted Czar, without "Advise and Consent" of the Senate even. none.
RE: Van Jones, Commie and a 9/11 Truther...and Obama's Man
this is something the Right can't let go, and should keep a good eye on.
It also validates everything said, that Obama denied, during the campaign about his radical Anti-American roots and ties.
Obama has to basically tell us he was Incompentent and simply "didn't know" that his bud Van Jones was a Communist 9/11 Truther Nutjob, who he thought highly enough to place in a high place of Power in his Government.
Aside from Pathetic, this is scary on a number of levels.

If you think skeptics at large haven't torn into the 911 Truthers ad infinitum, you haven't been paying attention. On this forum, no-one to my knowledge has been dumb enough to advocate this (but I could have missed one or two of RobertN's posts), so it's kind of a non-issue here. But, yes, it's all dumb.

There was an Anti-Semite who posted here last year, forget his screen name but I beleive he was banned. brought up the USS Liberty/Israel thing and later eventually came completely unhinged.
I think Ron Paul pretty muched summed up the un-mentioned consensus of the 9/11 Truther symapthetics who have enough of an IQ to know not to talk about what they beleive about it directly, while constantly pandering to the ones that are dumb enough to:
"just not worth it" .....indeed.
It was however worth it to him at one point to claim the Afghanistan War was mostly about "building Oil Pipelines", which is a pretty Truthery statement.
anyway, back to the Left-Wing Commie nuts in the Whitehouse....

Quote:But the question here in the Van Jones case — as it would have been for me and my Reagan colleagues is very simple. What if I, like the White House guest I had invited, had a police record? Had a seriously questionable set of quite public and quite wacky, well-articulated views captured on video tape? What if I had been a Democrat with a father or older brother in the Ku Klux Klan? What if I had been a John Bircher? What if I had been signing on to documents that accused President Eisenhower of being a Communist? What if I had tagged along with Jane Fonda and gone to North Vietnam to mug for the cameras?
The answer is simple. The only way that I could have gotten a clearance to work for a President Ronald Reagan would be if the President, the First Lady or the Chief of Staff to the President specifically overruled the Secret Service.
That’s it. There was then, and surely is now, no other way.
Which is to say, Van Jones is in the White House this minute because someone — or several someones — knew his problems and quite deliberately overruled the Secret Service. That would be someone of very considerable power.
