I recently saw a special on the History Channel on cults, with special mention for Jim Jones. I was shocked beyond belief that they admitted his dictatorship arose out of his socialistic ideals! The other striking thing I noted is that all these charismatic cult leaders shared many historical commonalities with Obama: Manson, Jones, Hitler, and Koresh (I believe), all had absent or abusive fathers and nearly all had absent mothers. It was more than a little creepy to watch. And the section on Jonestown was simply heartbreaking!

Did the History Channel also cover the fact that the San Francisco Democrats endorsed Jimmie Jones? Did they also include that the San Francisco Democrats used Jimmie Jones' cult member to do political "community organizing" in San Francisco.

Both are facts.
