Hanoi John supporting Commies? Nah, say it ain't so.

Glad to see Kerry is still authoring cutting edge, vital legislation.

So he wants to honor someone from HIS OWN Party. I agree, so what?

[nikos1121]

Shocked, I'm totally shocked. This guy just won't go away. God, how close were we to this guy being president....scary...

[exzoomie]

And the swift boat vets were a bunch of liars (Sarc).

[Lorianne]

Un___ blanking ___ believable!
It's frightening to think how close we came to having this guy as our president.

[Bigun]

What else

would one expect from this slime ball!

Both he AND W.E.B DuBois can kiss my harry white... Well, you know!

[AmishDude]

Weird, considering the paucity of Kerry-initiated legislation.

[onyx]

Kerry's reason is racially motivated.
He's TRYING to score points.

Kerry and his "... admirers in Congress are wrong too."

But Du Bois hated freedom, and through his actions of renouncing his American citizenship and joining the Communist Party he showed this. In writing longtime Communist Party U.S.A. Chairman Gus Hall in 1961 to become a member of his outfit, the reflexively anti-American intellectual called communism "the only way of human life" and predicted that the free market was "doomed to self-destruction."

sounds like just the kind of person Dums idolize. They especially like that renouncing citizenship thing. why do you think so many of them threaten to leave the U.S if they don't get their way. Sadly, they never follow through on their threats.

I wish the eyes of America, and the world, could be opened to see the truth behind the Democrats. On every issue, from public development to race to fiscal responsibility to human rights, they always portray themselves as the good guys. The White Hats. And we conservatives are always likened to Luddites, regressive, xenophobic, destructive! I am so tired of Democrats always using obfuscation to make themselves appear lilly white, while they demonize anyone who has a modicum of opposition to any of their precepts. And thus I have been taking steps to try to do my part to change this vile equilibrium. Even though it is as simple as talking to friends, I have been doing it. And it has been interesting to note how easy it is to awaken people once you present them with facts (instead of blindly going on attack mode).

I think it is time we stop just sitting by letting Democrats paint themselves as social heroes while making us look like the dregs of society. For the longest time they have said all sorts of things, with the only response from Republicans being silence (in public) and a lot of mumbling (in places like FR where basically it is like preaching to the choir). It is time to say something if you hear a workmate state a fallacy clothed as fact, to say something when a friend says how Hillary would be a great president, to speak up when Kerry tries to honor someone who is against everything America stands for! And the key to doing this is by facts, not going ape and starting an argument. Democrats cannot counter facts, but they can easily counter an angry Republican by saying 'I told you these guys are crazy.' But give them facts and they slink off like the lowly serpents (actually worm is a better term) that they are.

But we need to stop being silent, we need to talk more in the open (and not just to ourselves), and we need to do this without losing our tempers. The Democrats greatest weapon is their obfuscation. And darkness and shadow will always be chased away by light and truth. But we need to speak up, and we need to do so in a way that will be listened to.

wrong headline... should read

Kerry urges Senate to honor fellow Communist

[<1/1,000,000th%]

DuBois is an Uncle Tom who was just a house slave. /sarcasm

(I apologize in advance to anyone who I offended with my satirical comparison to Justice Clarence Thomas and Secretary of State Condi Rice. I didn't mean to cast aspersions on either Justice Thomas or Doctor Rice.)

[Buck W.]

Kerry should consider honoring Booker T. Washington, although he, unlike WEBD, was not from Massachesetts.

[My2Cents]

Let's see...A resolution honoring a commie. This must be F-in' Kerry's legislative program for 2005. Add this to the other 6 measures he authored over his previous 20 years in the Senate, and might actually break into a sweat this year.

[PureTrouble]

If I remember right, the accomplishments of Kerry's 20 years as a Senator are most noted by his proposals for federal days off or Federal day name changes. He has really not done any real work in the Senate over 20 years. So this is the typical accomplishment he is famous for.

[Cicero]

It's obviously a provocation. He's hoping the Republicans will oppose this bill so they can be accused of racism.

Many blacks have heard of Du Bois but don't really understand the meaning of his beliefs. They just know he was a noble black man, because that's probably what they were told in school.
