When I was a kid living at home (1970's), my folks had the Academy Awards on the tube. One award winner, some director, gave some speech praising the Khmer Rouge for "liberating" Cambodia. My folks could not understand at the time why their son was giving the finger at the TV, and cursing that director to hell (including bleeping traitor scum). Then later the stories about the killing fields in Cambodia emerged.

That would be Bert Schneider, who was behind "Hearts and Minds."

If you can get me a name or even a year, I'd appreciate it. The left likes to rewrite history and pretend that they didn't support a group that murdered a third of Cambodia's population. A finger? They deserve a stake through their cold dead hearts.
