In another case of what was surely top notch vetting, Obama had appointed Van Jones as his Green Jobs Advisor. Recently, it came to light that among many things, he is a 9/11 Truther. (Signatory #46)
He's also described himself as a Communist and revolutionary, and supporter of Mumia, the Black Panther who murderd a Philadelphia Police Officer. Basically, the guy is about as far out on the kook left fringe as you can get.
You can listen to him talk about how white polluters steer poison into black communities, here. Ever wonder how people get the idea that environmentalists are just stealth communists?
In the end, the consensus seems to be that it's the 9/11 Truther label that will do him in, with most predicting he'll be out by Monday. Anyone want to make their own prediction?
