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.

Figures. The socialism of the People's Republic of Massachusetts is close enough to Communism as it is. Obviously there is a deep sympathy between Leftists of the different flavors.

The most extraordinary thing to consider is that had DuBois had seen his wishes fulfilled for a Communist America, NO Americans- black, white, yellow, or red- would have enjoyed civil rights.
Bitterly ironic.

From the article's closing:

Ironically, both the honoree and the politician paying homage to him are guilty of the same transgression: failing to identify evil when it appears at close range.

From communism to eugenics to racial separatism, W.E.B. Du Bois was wrong on just about every major issue he championed. His admirers in Congress are wrong too.


Love it!

W.E.B. Dubois is the man who led a majority of black America astray for the better part of a century.

If they had only listened to Booker T. instead of this commie!

But Mr. Washington will win in the end...

You make a good point.

There is not much distance between Socialism and Communism. Unfortunately, there is a large body of folk in this country that think they want socialism.

Great comparison. Du Bois was the Malcolm X of his day to Booker T. Washington's Martin Luther King Jr. He was a good anthropologist and cultural historian who deserves his place in American Literary studies but was wrong about many things especially towards the end of his 95 year life.

Kerry's combination of idiocy and ass-kissing ability is boundless

I will forever believe one of the reasons John Heinz Kerry was soooo quick to want to get out of 'Nam...was he was afraid of being killed by a fragging.

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if one of his scratches was in fact a fragging...that just wasn't close enough.

Bread and circuses they want, and bread and circuses they get, from both parties.

Ya could be right, but We will never know.

I'd like to see him tried for treason, you know, with a jury of his pears, all Nam vets. I know how I'd vote. Capital punishment should have it's uses.

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

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Hanoi Kerry Timeline of a traitor
includes FBI files

http://www.archive-news.net/Kerry/JK_timeline.html

The traitor is doing the same thing he has always done.

Aiding the enemy!

Can anyone name 1 so called MAIN Stream Right Wing Media
personality

(we know Russert on tv and Imus on radio from the Left have)

that has asked,

in 2005,

these questions?

"Asked Kerry when he will sign Form 180.

(Even though President Bush signed his Form 180)

Or how could Kerry have a top secret clearance,
and access to US intelligence
WITHOUT revealing ALL his military records to the US Senate

Who in the US Senate has seen ALL of Kerry's military records?

Who, in the US Senate, gave him his top secret clearance?

Or why Kerry is still in the US Senate.
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html

Or when Kerry will set the record straight
on his false testimony in April 71"
