A song about cults and the psychology driving people into them, inspired by the1978 Jonestown Massacre. At the time I -- we generally -- had no idea about cults, save for a vague awareness about groups like the Hare Krishnas and the Moonies, who were looked upon as weird, but largely harmless.
Jim Jones certainly changed that. I'm not sure exactly what kind of a "Reverend" he was, but he must have had a degree from the Al Sharpton School of Theology. Of more interest to me were his extensive ties to the Democrat Party:
Unlike other figures considered as cult leaders, Jones enjoyed public support and contact with some of the highest level politicians in the United States. For example, Jones met with Vice Presidential Candidate Walter Mondale and Rosalynn Carter several times.[11] Governor Jerry Brown, Lieutenant Governor Mervyn Dymally, and Assemblyman Willie Brown, among others, attended a large testimonial dinner in honor of Jones in September 1976.[12]
Ah, yes, Democrats, in thrall as always to "human rights" fraudsters and "community organizers. "
Speaking of which, I certainly hope that Obama's got a more benign exit strategy than Jones.
