re: #210 lawhawk

Charles,

I have a concern about one item that hasn’t quite gotten discussion re: rense.com and the other conspiracy sites. If you’re a troofer and you’re espousing your views, where else would you be posting those thoughts? Where else would they be cataloged? We’re left in a bind over not trusting conspiracy sites that claim Jones signed on to their letter because those sites routinely lie about items, and his admission that he didn’t read something put before him from the group. That’s a great set of choices.

I think it’s safe to say Jones ran in these circles - which also including the Troofers. Quite likely it was the fashionable thing to do - appear at anti-war anti-Bush gatherings and the like, where the troofers also gathered. That several sources link him with troofer statements is interesting - a sidebar to the main act - the loony eco-leftist agenda he’s pursuing.

The point is that if Van Jones were actually a Truther, there would be evidence of it somewhere other than conspiracy websites. He certainly had no problem spouting off about all kinds of other far left causes. I searched for hours yesterday to try to find credible evidence that he has ever supported Trutherism, and found nothing.

But then, when I see stuff at rense.com, I automatically put it in the “kook” pile. Others don’t seem to have that problem.
