Since you mentioned that Helen T woman, I must fight the evil demons summoned by her name. To do so, here is a photo of Shania Twain. Do not curse this forum again with the mention of that so called journalist! ;)

Ah, yes, the “perilous decade.” What Lamb means (and Scheer omits) is the decade when the Communist Party killed 100,000 Vietnamese and drove a million boat people into exile (something that had not occurred in a thousand years of Vietnamese history under many less brutal conquerors). The antiwar movement that Scheer and his comrades launched successfully forced America to abandon the people of South Vietnam and neighboring Cambodia, which the Communist had used as an invasion route. This abandonment resulted in the postwar slaughter of 2.5 million Indo-Chinese. (The Khmer Rouge who cleaned up Cambodia were protégés of Hanoi and were also advancing the “world revolution” and not, obviously, Cambodian nationalism and pragmatism.) The Communists also liquidated 1.5 million Laotians while they were at it.Col. North, please, please, please, Col. North, please, please, please.
War stories about all of these events.
Please, please, please.
Can I nominate Robert Fisk for this award too?
Even David Horowitz can write in error ...
"exulting over America’s lone military defeat in South Vietnam"
We were not *militarily* defeated in Viet Nam.
It's a close race, but my scoring actually shows Robert Scheer running slightly behind Mark Morford in the title of biggest ignoramus.
Helen Thomas has got to be considered for this award. (no pictures, please!)
Correct. We lost the television war waged by cBS and uncle Walter.
He works for The Independent, so you'd have to nominate him for Biggest Ignoramus in British Journalism?
Your statement is correct. But, regardless of whether it was defeated militarily, our military was defeated. Thus, it is our lone military defeat.
LOL while cleaning coffee off my keyboard.

He should have let the car do the talking -its obviously smarter
Yes, you are correct!
Well then, how about Robert Fisk for overall "Biggest Ignoramus" or does Michael Moore already own that?
"Biggest Ignoramus in American Journalism"
That really is a tall order to fill.
Ho Chi Minh was co-founder of the French Communist Party, in addition to being primary founder of the Indochinese C.P.
As for the rest, on April 30, Vietnamese-American refugees both celebrated and mourned "Black April".
"Celebrated" because they have prospered and been given freedom in America, "mourned" because their country is not one that they'd now return to.
Scheer and his cheerleading for murderers and despots is despicable beyond comment. I'll bet he doesn't know a single Vietnamese-American person in Orange County, and if spouted his incitement in Little Saigon, he might be beaten to death on the spot.
Excellent point. I stand corrected.
Sorry. When you say "H*len Th*mas," I am obliged to post a picture.
