Sometimes when I get into this type of discussion with someone, who I realize is a liberal, and won't accept the rewriting of history of the left, I ask them, "was Jim Jones on the far left, or far right"?

After they adamantly declare the far right, I inform them that one of Jones's favorite sayings was "let those on the opiate of religion come into the enlightenment of socialism". And, that he called his church "apostolic socialism".

They never accept the truth!

Not to mention the fact that the lefties in San Francisco were enamored with him. Jimmy Carter even thought he had promise.
