re: #166 Last Mohican

Charles - I’m interested in your opinion on this. By “smear and distortion” I think you mean the lie that Jones is a truther, right? Do you think that’s what finally brought him down? My sense was that what killed Jones’ future was all of the dirt that was being dug up about his radical past, much of it (unfortunately) most effectively publicized via Glenn Beck’s hysterical ranting. I can’t imagine the truther thing would have really stuck to Jones. It was very easy to refute.

Yes, absolutely it was the Truther smear that brought him down. All you need to do is read the reporting to see it.
