after the death tolls of Stalin, Mao, Castro, Lenin & Pol Pot is it any wonder that another communist would kill people?
Well duh!. Jones was a communist.

I wouldn't exactly call him a Communist...more like socialist christian. Or something like that.

You can add a lot of capitalist leaders to your list, including GW. People want to believe in something greater than themselves...and whether they're fighting for "freedom" in another country or taking kool aid, they themselves don't believe there was anything wrong with what they were doing.

Many German citizens agreed with Hitler, raised their hands and called him master, but on the opposite side of the political spectrum.
The STOOPID is strong in this one.

Oh for pete's sake. GW is like Stalin or Mao? Please, he's just trying to protect the country from the psychos who would kill more innocent Americans like on 9/11. What is it with you Bush haters, you all come off deranged. Do you like terrorists or something?
Someone with reason. Leftists are no different from terrorists and Communists/Nazis/Socialists

Jim Jones a "socialist Christian"?

Like along the lines of Dorothy Day?

Yeah, right.

Jim Jones was a selfish jerk with a big ego, nothing more than that.

One can't even, really, call him a communist or a socialist, because it was all about, all for, Jim Jones, and nothing more than that.

I often visit IMDB, but I rarely go to the boards. They have some posters that make DUmmies appear right-wing.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Any movie that portrays conservatives or *gasp* Christians in a good light draws the lefties out like cockroaches to a dropped donut.

Yes it is. Makes DU look sane.
