Uhmm..how people in the world know an actual communist? Its not like saying "I know a Methodist".
As to this editorial: there is simply no refutation, no wrangling with Van Jones previous declarations from his anti-whitey quotes to his revolutionary quotes, to his preposterous claim first that he didn't know he was listed in this truther signatory ad to how now he doesn't believe in the ad's message. Redmond simply says, "This is ridiculous" while not refuting any of the charges made about Van Jones based on his own statements and speeches.
Redmond obviously would never inquire, just like the rest of the liberal media establishment, as to why Van Jones had never denounced over the last five years his name being attached to this statement since he now claims he is not in agreement. He can't say he doesn't agree with the signing statement and then not show that he denounced his supposed involuntary inclusion on the list. That's simply a question Van Jones could never answer because he did indeed support it - his actions and lack of reaction provide no other possibility.
