Saturday Night Thread For 2/27/10: A Loving Brother, Even To A Crazy Nut

Image
You would think that after a national nutcase has smeared your character and strongly contributed to you resigning from your prominent job that you would harbor ill feelings for a long time for that person. And saying nice things about that individual? What prodigious marijuana are you smoking? So when Van Jones got on the microphone last night at the annual NAACP awards to accept "The Achievement Award", you know what he had to say about Glenn Beck???? Did he call him an a--hole?

First, Ben Smith contacted two of the other “signatories” of that document, and learned that they had indeed been misled by the Truthers, and thought they were signing a legitimate document calling for further investigations. To Ben Smith's post at Hackio, and to Smith's credit, this is pretty diligent stuff. I corresponded yesterday with a couple of the other better-known signatories of the statement, Rabbi Michael Lerner and historian Howard Zinn, both of whom said ...
