The gunmen riddled Congressman Ryan’s body with bullets before shooting him in the face. The passengers on the Cessna subdued Larry Layton and the surviving people on both planes fled into nearby fields during and after the attack.

Larry Layton, brother of author and former Peoples Temple member Deborah Layton, was convicted in 1986 of conspiracy in the murder of Leo Ryan.

I lived in SF when Jim Jones was getting his start. He came out of the left-wing Evangelical “Sojourners” movement, philosophically, but he was a total nutcase and he got a lot of political power in San Fran by being to the left of Stalin and cultivating all these poor dumb black grannies and desperate single middle-aged white ladies. The Obama base, in other words.

...my snark got in front of my judgment.

Yes it did. It is in your DNA John! Unavoidable! It is second nature to you and your fellow Rats.

Most communists are total nutcases. Look at Obama's pals Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Ayers told his troops to "kill all the rich people", "kill your parents". Dohrn used to praise Charles Manson.

Just try to imagine if a Republican had uttered such a divisive statement. From day one, Team Obama has sought to fracture and divide American society for politically explotive puropses. It has been six years of this from Obama, and the corrupt MSM turn their gaze away in full support.

Another freeper noted Podesta moved in to move Jarrett out and clintonify the Spite Hut.

I assume he is there to sanitize all of The Hildabeast mistakes.

Milk, SF homosexuals and “progressives” are responsible for keeping the SF “bath houses” open for homosexual sex and the spread of AIDS, and it’s only gotten worse since with all Rat government.

San Francisco is a huge base of Lib Support.

I bet a lot of them have family who died at Jonestown and have not forgotten.

Jones is representative of what modern liberalism always degenerate into, and Podesta's denial and projection are always present in modern liberals.

Podesta doesn't even have a clue as to what he should apologize for.

Jim Jones was a communist.

So wouldn't Reid and his gang in the Senate be a better comparison to Jones than the House?

Jim Jones was a marxist. Wonder if Podesta knew. It’s not like it’s exactly common knowledge. Here’s the proof.

Jim Jones, The People’s Temple and Revolutionary Suicide

I’ll bet you didn’t know (and the media would never tell you) that the Jim Jones/People’s Temple mass suicide in Guyana was a Marxist/Lenninst revolutionary act.

In 1976 the Peoples Temple changed a San Francisco political juggernaut which was secretly harboring designs of world communist revolution to a paranoid North Korean-style enclave in Jonestown in 1978. There, they negotiated with the Soviet Union, North Korea and others for a possible exodus. A Soviet delegation visited Jonestown, showering it with praise.
