Was he a paid agent or just doing it because he was a true believer?
His books stink, and lie.
He stinks, and lies.

BTTT PING!
Great scoop by Cliff for those that might have missed it. The FBI ‘redacted’ lots of names as well. Probably names we all know too well now, like some on Beck’s chalkboard.
T Y !!!
Someone post the pic of Claude Rains.
Howard Zinn: I Never, Ever Signed a Petition Claiming Bush Had Foreknowledge of 9/11; And Yet Here I Am Writing on the 911Truth.org Website That Bush Had Foreknowledge of 9/11
###
Excerpt:
As Charles Johnson wisely notes: Truthers lie.
Politico is flacking for Van Jones by “reporting” that fellow Truther signatory Howard Zinn is rushing to Van “Astronaut” Jones’ defense, claiming he (Zinn) was “misled” about the petition. Thus, by implication, bolstering “Astronaut” Jones’ claim that he was misled.
Correction: Actually Zinn doesn’t say he was “misled,” not exactly. That’s Charles Johnson’s gloss (”lied to”) on the statement. The actual staetment is thus:
“I did not sign a statement suggesting that ‘Bush had prior knowledge.’ I signed a statement calling for an investigation.”
This can be taken two ways:
1. He’s claiming an actual bait and switch, induced to sign one petition, then horrified to see his signature appended to a different one. (The Charles Johnson interpretation.)
2. He’s merely disputing what the petition means. He’s claiming it’s just a call for investigations, not a suggestion that Bush had foreknowledge of 9/11 (or that Bush premeditated 9/11). (This is Ben Smith’s belief.)
Well, either way, Charles Johnson loses. If 1 is intended, then Zinn is lying, because he had endorsed Trutherism months earlier on the 911Truth.org website itself. One does not need to be tricked into endorsing what one has already endorsed in one’s own words.
If 2 is intended, Zinn isn’t claiming he was mislead at all, and this helps Astronaut Jones not at all. Zinn is also lying in his revisionist characterization of the petition, because it’s both a call for investigations and a strong suggestion that “Bush Knew.”
In fact, it should be noted that Zinn is doing exactly what Jones is attempting to do: Having signed a petition clearly aligning himself with the craziest conspiracy theorists imaginable, he’s now claiming he either didn’t understand the petition or otherwise failed to pick up on its diamond-clear-and-diamond-hard insinuations.
But this is to be expected; I have it on no lesser authority than Charles Johnson that Truthers lie. Especially about being Truthers, and especially when caught in the spotlight.

What’s more, one of the files reveals that a reliable informant provided a photograph of Zinn teaching a class on “Basic Marxism” at party headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, in 1951. A participant in the class said that Zinn taught that “the basic teaching of Marx and Lenin were sound and should be adhered to by those present…”
Zinn was included on the “Security Index” and “Communist Index” maintained by the FBI. The “Security Index” was more ominous and included individuals who could be detained in the event of a national emergency.
Frank Marshall Davis, the Communist Party USA member who mentored the young Barack Obama, was also the “security index”.
The files confirm Zinn’s membership in the party from 1948-1953 and one says he was “believed to be a CP member as of October, 1956.” However, he denied membership in the party when interviewed by the FBI in 1953 and 1954 and claimed to be just a “liberal” or “leftist.” He did admit involvement in several CPUSA front organizations, the documents say…
n 1961, it says, Zinn “attempted to recruit students to attend 8th World Youth Festival [a communist-front gathering] and was described as pro-Castro in 1962. He publicly protested United States demand for withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba.”
After WW2 service and an education on the GI Bill, Zinn taught at the all female, all black Spelman College in Atlanta.
According to one of his pupils, far left author Alice Walker, Zinn shocked an audience from a local white college by declaring “Well, I stand to the left of Mao Zedong.” – this at the height of the communist takeover of China.
Forced to leave Spelman because of his radicalism, Zinn went to teach at Boston University from 1964 to 1988.

If he was call a piece of sh...would that be considered racist?
This link has more info and updates:
The Van Jones link you provided is pretty awesome! I am sure that Obama’s parents and grandparents have commie FBI files as well. Obama is the quintessential ‘Red Diaper Baby’.

Good question. Those files have probably disappeared along with the rest of Obama’s records.
Most of us thought he came to class stoned (he had that glassy eyed look), plus it was general knowledge he helped multiple good looking coeds get better grades with exra-curricular activities........
Read our Sharky’s post!
STARWISE, read our Sharky’s post!!!
Gads.. all of these commies are the same..when they are not plotting the destruction of our republic and way of life, they are sexually preying on our children.
Their evil stench is getting harder for them to conceal.
Why does that not surprise me any? The rear-end justifies the mean.....
What the old saying those who do do and those who can’t teach at the college level.
