The link is to a thread on the op-ed piece by Hirsh that this thread is referencing. I thought everyone would like to see everything he said.

[Hoodat]

apparently people like the Vietnamese and Cambodians don't really count...

Ding ding ding - We have a winner! Elitist leftists are too damn selfish to be concerned with the Khmer Rouge, boat people, re-education camps, and the still ongoing slaughter and persecution of Montegnards.

[Grimmy]

Someone should open up a pool on how long until the usual suspects around here start yammering the idiocy that “all the POTUS ever said was, go shopping” or otherwise regurgitating the rantochant of the leftardic media.

[Doctor Raoul]

Newsweek has blood on it's hands from their "Koran in the Toilet" fraud that killed people.

Newsweek has to be held accountable.

[Doctor Raoul]

About 500,000 were sent to Re-education Camps were 165,000 were killed, while the survivors endured starvation, hard labor and beatings.

Every time you meet a "boat person", say a prayer for the one who perished trying to escape the hell hole this bastard turned a blind eye to. That's about 850,000 dead.

There people like Hirsh are oxygen thieves.

As long as jon cary, the rapist and his enabler, the swimmer...can have a lovely meal in mv, then go yachting without seeing wind mills...it is all good ?

He is not a reporter, nor a journalist. He is a leftist activist masquerading as a reporter.

Thanks for the ping.

This Michael Hirsh is nothing but a moonbat hack, a bad joke. Like was brought out in the article, he ignores the millions killed and tortured in South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia by the commies in the aftermath of the war. This guy shouldn’t be writing or editing anything.

[onedoug]

Hirsh is a democrat (or of some other such ilk). What does he care for peoples lives? Good and evil.... These mean nothing to such hacks.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks george76.

“This was the 'harsh' aftermath that George W. Bush attempted to describe this week when he warned against pulling out of Iraq as we did in Vietnam.”

I’ll NEVER FORGET how, during my early-1960’s college years, Newsweek & Time Magazine were America’s premiere insightful news sources.

Now it’s US Freepers on http://www.Freerepublic.com ..!!!

EXAMPLE:

After a Sen. TED KENNEDY-led post-WATERGATE Democrat Congress cut off all our funding for the then Free South Vietnamese to fight for their own Freedom with during the Vietnam War ...horridly came:

[Recalling a trip he made to Vietnam in 1991, Hirsh reported . . .]

Hirsh was a senior in high school when Saigon fell. He makes one trip—where he saw and heard what his communist minders selected—16 years ago and that makes him an expert?

The left has been using the specter of Vietnam since the Iraq war began. Now that Bush uses it, it is no longer valid.

"America will pay any price, bear any burden, defend any friend, fight any foe, to ensure the survival and the success of liberty".

It was their promise. Men believed it. They did not deliver. Men who had trusted them were murdered.

Nothing can ever make it right. So they deny and evade, with all the tenacity of hell.

It is the torment of the damned.

Apparently NewsWeak’s “diversity” mantra doesn’t extend to hiring people from Southeast Asia in their ‘news’room. If it did, some of those folks would likely have spoken up on behalf of their families who died horribly and needlessly at the hands of the commies.

Apparently NewsWeak is also completely disinterested in expanding it’s circulation base into the Asian community or among people who have either lived or read about these recent historical events.

How long does it take a dinosaur to die?
