You may be right. I'm not going to go through the few hours of DVR Van Jones tapes to find Van Jones saying that this “prison” experience had a great influence on him.

Bottom line: Van Jones is a rabid Marxist. I'm glad he is out of power.

Amen! Good riddance to him. Until he pops up somewhere else.

I think Glenn just made a simple mistake by saying prison instead of jail and saying it was part of the LA riots. Van Jones did say all those things about meeting radicals and becoming a communist.

There is room for calling Eva Paterson's account into question too. Beck says he was arrested twice and she only explains away one incident. She also fails to say what the SF protest was about and since it was only two weeks after the RK/LA riots it well may have been related.

My intent was just to cut off getting caught repeating a possibly false or exaggerated story. He called himself a communist and that's where we have them.

Also; I wouldn't put it past Van Jones to call a few hours in jail prison time to up his street cred with the green commies he was trying to impress.

"I been a victim uh da man, lawdy lawdy, I been so down."

He's a snake oil POS that would say anything to anybody.
