re: #167 Charles

Glenn Beck has completely distorted the truth about Van Jones. In Jones’ youth he was indeed a communist. So what? He HAS disavowed any connection to communism now, and in fact is a committed capitalist. He’s probably more to the left than most LGF readers, but he is absolutely not a radical commie infiltrator.

The reason why the major media aren’t asking about Van Jones is because Glenn Beck’s claims about him are completely bogus.

Thomas Sowell was also a believer in communism in his youth, yet no one holds this against him today. He tends to agree with the adage that youth are susceptible to falling prey to communism’s lure, but most grow out of it.
