Thanks La Lydia.

I'm still having trouble finding where he's a spent time in a penitentiary to earn the label: “convicted felon” though.

I find this on a wicked-pedia entry:

Jones was still a law student at Yale Law School at the time. While volunteering as a legal monitor during a peaceful protest following the Rodney King riots, Jones was arrested along with other legal monitors and some protesters. He and the other detainees were released no more than 4 hours after being illegally arrested and Jones was never convicted of a crime.

I guess he's a wonderful guy, and up and coming leader of us all. This article also indicates he isn't a communist. http://preview.grist.org/article/2009-08-04-van-jones-is-a-progressive/

"• Jones is not a “criminal” or an “ex-con.” In 1992, while still attending Yale Law, Jones volunteered as a legal monitor at a peaceful protest in San Francisco in the wake of the Rodney King verdict. He, some other legal monitors, and some protesters were briefly and illegally arrested. They were released in less than four hours, and later received several thousands dollars in a legal settlement over the violation of their rights. They were never charged with a crime, much less convicted. The same thing—improper arrest during peaceful protest— happened to Jones twice more; again, no charges were ever filed.

That is the basis on which Sean Hannity called Jones an “ex-con” on national television. Classy."

But I really wouldn't depend in Wikipedia for factual information unless you can confirm it elsewhere. Anybody can go in there and edit the entries. Why are you so interested in this guy? To me, he is just all of a piece with the other third-raters and the amateurs with radical agendas in this administration.

Thanks for the ping.
