Obama hailed hard-core communist revolutionary Ho Chi Minh today as a pretty open guy who was actually inspired by the Founders...

What a terrible thing to say....oh my heavens.
This should bring great comfort to the families of the 50,000 men and boys killed by his followers.
Honest to GOD I thought this was satire. I thought not even the Kenyan Marxist would stoop this low. Guess I was wrong.
That was all commie agitprop to try and get leftists on their side at the time, and it worked. They didn’t have Tokyo Rose
Well, 0bama ought to know, Ho being one of his commie homies and all.
“It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.” - Ronald Reagan
I GET IT NOW!!!!
Someone slipped him a copy of “The Communist Manifesto” with a cover sheet that said it was “The US Consitution” and they’ve been giggling behind his back ever since.
I wonder if our Constitution “inspired” Ho to do this:
n North Vietnam during the 1950s, political opposition groups were suppressed; those publicly opposing the government were imprisoned in hard labor camps. Many middle-class, intellectual Northerners had been lured into speaking out against Ho’s communist regime, and most of those who did were later imprisoned in gulags or executed; this became known as the Nhan Van-Giai Pham Affair. Some prisoners died of exhaustion, starvation, illness (often having received no medical attention), or assault by prison guards. Political scientist R.J. Rummel suggests a figure of 24,000 camp deaths during Ho’s rule of North Vietnam between 1945 and 1956.[54]
The government launched “rent reduction” and “land reform” programs, which, according to Steven Rosefielde, were “aimed at exterminating class enemies.”[55] Declassified Politburo documents confirm that 1 in 1,000 North Vietnamese (i.e., about 14,000 people) were the minimum quota targeted for execution during the earlier “rent reduction” campaign; the number killed during the multiple stages of the considerably more radical “land reform” was probably many times greater.[56] Lam Thanh Liem, a major authority on land issues in Vietnam, conducted multiple interviews in which communist cadres gave estimates for land reform executions ranging from 120,000 to 200,000. Such figures match the “nearly 150,000 houses and huts which were allocated to new occupants”.[57] A number of sources have suggested that about 30% of the “landlords” executed were actually communist party members.[57][58][59][60][61] Landlords were arbitrarily classified as 5.68% of the population, but the majority were subject to less severe punishment than execution. Official records from the time suggest that 172,008 “landlords” were executed during the “land reform”, of whom 123,266 (71.66%) were later found to be wrongly classified.[62] Victims were reportedly shot, beheaded, and beaten to death; “some were tied up, thrown into open graves and covered with stones until they were crushed to death”.[63] The full death toll was even greater because victims’ families starved to death under the “policy of isolation.”[64] As communist defector Le Xuan Giao explained: “There was nothing worse than the starvation of the children in a family whose parents were under the control of a land reform team. They isolated the house, and the people who lived there would starve. The children were all innocent. There was nothing worse than that. They wanted to see the whole family dead.”[65] Hoang Van Chi wrote that as many as 500,000 North Vietnamese may have died as a result of the policies of Ho’s government.[66] 6,000 peasants were massacred in response to a revolt against unbearable taxes.[63]
Comes from Marxist trainees chanting “Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh”....
While our bros in arms were being killed in Vietnam I might add.
very true
This is actually an old reprise. During the Vietnam War the left would refer to Ho as the “George Washington” of Vietnam.
And many gullible Americans thought Castro was a freedom fighter bringing freedom and democracy to Cuba.
But why didn’t Uncle Ho establish a North Vietnam with individual freedom, capitalism and individual rights? Instead, he established a communist dictatorship. I guess the genius in the Oval Office missed that little point.
These days I think it’s stand-up comedy to suggest that Rush’s low information crowd will ever have a problem with anything the Balloon-Head-In-Chief says.
Ho Chi Minh took everything he ever used from Josef Stalin. In North Vietnam if a putative leader in any segment even asked for a clarification of ANYTHING the Butcher Ho pronounced, the putative leader woke up dead the next morning.
Indeed, he was a US ally in WWII. He needed us to rid himself (himself, not Vietnam) of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. When he no longer needed us his butcher fetish rematerialized in the form of a vast number of dead bodies.
This is just another way for Obama to show what a disgusting gutter low-life denizen he is.
I am amazed at how many people are still perfectly willing to buy enemy communist agitprop used during a war with us.
