He told you the president of Poland is not a communist.
"Kwasniewski is a democrat, and from the democratic wing of PZPR, SLD was formed."
He told you his grandfather fought the Nazi's and was in a German POW camp and came home alive after the war.
His fellow soldiers who were captured by the Soviets were murdered.
His family lived this hell for over 50 years. You didn't.
I don't know what kind of pleasure you get from this continued baiting. But I ask you to stop it.

As a young communist, Aleksander Kwasniewski, was minister of sport. Now at 41, in democratic Poland, he is a Social Democrat.
"People still don't know whether the former communists will perform very well once they hold all positions of power in Poland," said Jacek Kurczewski, a sociologist at Warsaw University. "Until now we must say, frankly, that they were performing quite well democratically."
Kwasniewski has his own debts to pay.
"His buddies. The dozens of thousands of old comrades have been waiting behind him all those years, for a comeback. Not to build a gulag mind you, no, just to get a slice of the pie," said Gebert.
One force in Poland, now barely with a place in the table, is the Catholic Church which strongly supported Walesa.
In the end, what the church wanted didn't matter to Poles willing to abandon the hallowed past and the legacy of Walesa to take a chance on new blood.
