I totally agree with this author:
"BREAKING yesterday afternoon, October 21: “House Judiciary committee refers former CIA Director John Brennan to Justice Department for prosecution”.
My first reaction was,
“What took them so long”? My second: “finally.” My third (already worried): “Will it hold”?
All this was within seconds, but I have been wishing Brennan would “get his” for some time. For me, he is the epitome of political evil in this country....
From the foregoing, it should be obvious I am no fan of Brennan.
It was always a mystery to me how such a person became director of the CIA, indeed, how, with his background, he could even be a member of our intelligence community....
How do I know? I had lots of friends on the so-called left in the late sixties and seventies. We were mainly devotees of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and its leader, Tom Hayden, author of the Port Huron Statement, which abjured Stalinism and advocated “democratic socialism” (sound familiar?).
Thinking back on those days, it was pretty embarrassing. We would hang out at Hayden/Fonda’s small cottage in Santa Monica, listening to Tom pontificate. At the same time, Jane walked about with a laundry basket ostentatiously showing off her working-class bona fides. Just a few years later, she was living with Ted Turner in one of the country's largest mansions, with a staff the size of a small army. Hypocrisy was always a large part of being a Hollywood leftist.
Brennan was different. He was the only person I ever heard of who actually voted for the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) candidate for president at the time, Gus Hall. Hall was an ultra neo-Stalinist hardliner who despised the Hayden/Fonda SDS types as softies. He frequently traveled to Moscow to receive the likes of the Brezhnev Prize from the Soviet dictator himself and went so far as to support the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. No action was too totalitarian, too fascist, for Hall, as long as it adhered to what he regarded as strict communist principles.
Not too many people knew about him even then, but Brennan clearly did. He says he backed Hall through youthful ignorance —an excuse hard to accept unless, of course, you are Barack Obama, who later made Brennan the CIA chief and had his own version of Hall in Frank Marshall Davis...."
