OMG: Van Jones is a Truther! (oops: so is an Insight Magazine writer) - 09/03/09
Amanda Carpenter of the Washington Times informs us that "Green jobs 'czar' signed 'truther' statement in 2004" [1], referring to Van Jones signing the statement here.
There are a couple problems detracting from the WashTimes' scoop:
John McCain: "some of the 9-11 hijackers did come through Canada" - 04/24/09
Speaking on Fox News earlier today, John McCain made the same mistake as Janet Napolitano did a few days ago. In an attempt to defend her, McCain said:
"Well, some of the 9-11 hijackers did come through Canada, as you know."
The Canadian ambassador corrected him as he had done with Napolitano:
"As the 9-11 Commission reported in July 2004, all of the 9-11 terrorists arrived in the U.S. from outside North America. They flew to major U.S. airports. They entered the U.S. with documents issued to them by the U.S. government. No 9-11 terrorists came from Canada."
Janet Napolitano thinks 9/11 terrorists came over Canadian border - 04/21/09
Via this comes this CBC interview with Janet Napolitano of the Department of Homeland Security:
Napolitano: ...Nonetheless, to the extent that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it's been across the Canadian border. There are real issues there.
(Neil Macdonald of the CBC): Are you talking about the 9/11 perpetrators?
[Napolitano]: Not just those but others as well. So again, every country is entitled to have a border. It's part of sovereignty. It's part of knowing who's in the country.

Obama campaign creatively edits Jerome Corsi quote; his supposed "widely discredited beliefs"; calls him "Truther" - 08/14/08
The Barack Obama campaign is promulgating to their followers and others a PDF about Jerome Corsi's latest book "Obama Nation"; you can download it here: my.barackobama.com/page/invite/corsi
Some of their debunking in parts of it may be accurate or not, etc. However, in one section they've "creatively edited" Corsi. From the section called "CONSIDER THE SOURCE: CORSI HOLDS WIDELY DISCREDITED BELIEFS":
CORSI IS A 9/11 TRUTH BELIEVER - THAT AIRPLANES WERE NOT TRULY TO BLAME FOR DESTRUCTION OF WORLD TRADE TOWERS
Corsi is a 9/11 Truther. In a radio interview, Corsi said, "I'm gonna come out with a...
