Kerry Urges Congress to Honor Communist
Human Events Online ^ | March 2, 2005 | Daniel Flynn

Posted on 03/02/2005 6:12:35 AM PST by bigsky

Why has John Kerry sponsored a Senate resolution honoring a Stalinist who championed racial separatism?

The Soviet Union awarded W.E.B. Du Bois the Lenin Peace Prize. Maoist China staged a national holiday in his honor in 1959. Now, for reasons unexplained, the Democratic Party's 2004 presidential nominee seeks to honor Du Bois too.

Kerry's efforts to honor Du Bois have been joined by fellow Bay State Democrat Ed Markey, who, along with more than three-dozen colleagues, has advanced a similar resolution in the House of Representatives. Both resolutions await floor votes. In addition to praising Du Bois as a "defender of freedom," Markey's February 17 proclamation bizarrely maintains that Du Bois--a longtime Socialist who officially joined the Communist Party late in life--played "an intricate role in the development of the entrepreneurial spirit" and "capitalism" among African-Americans.

John Kerry is honored in Viet Nam's war museum, so he's just reciprocating with the commies in the spirit of friendship and cooperation.

Who's surprised at this?

The radical left always pays homage to its own, especially if they are black. It shows how 'progressive' they are.

Meanwhile, they burn Justice Thomas, Condi Rick, and Colin Powell at the stake for having the audacity to think for themselves and be, gasp, successful!

Sounds like Kerry and Markey are competing for the first annual Ed Asner "Stalinist-Trotskyite Supporters of the Year" award.

No surprise here. Kerry is just honoring one of his own kind.

Damn. Kerry always sided with Communists/socialists/marxists, but I didn't think he actually supported them.

It's also a ploy to make people of certain color and races believe that their leaders follow the left and are only leaders because they do so. It's a lie of course.

Maybe next he can propose a stamp with Jane Fonda's mug on it. ;-)
