3. Here it is
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090906/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_adviser_resigns_3

Not familiar with him however if he believes the government had a role in the 9/11 attacks he's just as weird as the neo-cons.

10. Yeah, that was the killer even though they found multiple signers who were lied to on what the
petition actually said.

5. Total bullshit that he had to resign.
And this is as a seven-year debunker of 9/11 Truth bullshit here at DU and other places. Van Jones' mild brush with 9/11 Truth had NOTHING to do with his job.

6. So, Glenn Beck's pink slip will be along shortly?
Oh, sorry. I temporarily forgot what world I'm living. This is bullshit.

7. This is very disappointing.
I really didn't think what he said about repubs was that serious to resign over unless it was something else.

24. Not to me. I didn't relly think he was up to the job
I felt that a month ago, prior to any of this blowing up. Just a personal opinion, big fish in a small pond syndrome.

in a different position? Just curious!

33. Not in the federal administation, no. He's an activist, not an administrator
Nothing wrong with that, but I don't think he has demonstrated the skills needed to do the job he was assigned to.

35. I see now.
Thanks. I hope that he will return to being an activist soon. He's a sharp guy.

8. Caving under pressure seems be Pres. Obama's preferred tactic
Edited on Sun Sep-06-09 12:12 AM by ConsAreLiars
when meeting opposition. I doubt that will work out well.

12. Cenk set the line at 2 weeks that he would resign and hoped he was wrong.
Edited on Sun Sep-06-09 12:22 AM by ihavenobias
He was right unfortunately (skip to 3:33 in):

This resignation is totally unwarranted. This only rewards Beck and the right wing's revenge for Beck losing his sponsors.

26. How long did it take Donald Rumsfeld to resign?
Rummy fled the Bush admin under the weight of a horribly mismanaged war and years of opposition from the left, whereas it looks like Fox can rearrange Obama's cabinet by running a few days' worth of hit pieces.

I am so looking forward to his on-air coup de grace.

31. I would probably have said something like "What? They ARE! So get over it."
and not resigned.

It sums it all up.
