Now Van Jones Wants to Sue Fox?

"has not expressed any support for any form of Communist or Marxist ideology for many years"

It's kind of hard to keep up. First, Van Jones challenged Glenn Beck to a debate while at the Netroots Nation conference, then, when Beck didn't seem too interested in the proposition, he made this MoveOn.org ad accusing Beck of "attacking the American dream," followed by a politely-framed request to Glenn to "talk this out."

Now, after all his challenges remain thus far unanswered, it seems Jones' frustration level might just be hitting critical mass. The best way to assuage his potentially bruised ego? Well, sue FOX News!

HuffingtonPost reports:

Jones’ attorney sent a cease and desist letter Monday to Dianne Brandi, the network’s executive vice president for legal & business affairs, claiming that “a series of sensational and inflammatory charges” have been made against Jones on Fox News shows. The statements, his attorney Joseph Sandler argues, are “demonstrably, unequivocally and absolutely false.”

In a six-page letter, the letter says that Jones has been called “radical revolutionary” (Beck), “an avowed Communist and 9/11 truther” (Sean Hannity), and a “far left kook, Communist guy” (Bill O’Reilly), to name just a few of the disputed allegations.

“Mr. Jones is not a member of any Communist Party or Marxist organization whatsoever, and has not expressed any support for any form of Communist or Marxist ideology for many years," Sandler wrote. He added that such statements are “demonstrably and unequivocally false” and were made to “injure Mr. Jones in his professional and community standing.” [Emphasis added]

Fox has reportedly received the letter and it is "under review."

Jones, a once self-proclaimed communist and "rowdy black nationalist," might have trouble making any judge see the “demonstrably, unequivocally and absolutely false" part.
