Would it surprise anyone to find out the Jonah Goldberg believes that Van Jones is a “truther”?

Van Jones & Obama’s “Centrism”

I just watched David Axelrod, the top ranking political advisor in the White House, and Robert Gibbs, the President’s spokesman on “Meet the Press” and “This Week” respectively. Neither of them was willing, even after repeated questioning, to offer a single negative word about Van Jones. Not one word. A 9/11 Truther and defender of Mumia-Abu Jamal is not radical enough for this White House to distance itself from the man in any way.

What gets me is this… of all people, Goldberg ought to be aware of the need to check sources. NRO continually posts articles about, shall we say, people and movements with suspicious links.

My opinion of Goldberg has gone steadily downhill since the start of the 2008 election cycle. Like many writers, he has joined the parade-mentality, that if he is going to sell books he has to buy into the group-think instead of doing his own research.

That he now appears on Glenn Beck’s program is now not surprising.
