Harkin: Nothing Bad Happened In Viet Nam After the War
The Virginian/Ed Driscoll ^ | 5/18/2008 | Moneyrunner

This needs to be widely distributed.

I can't post the video clip so you will have to go the the link.

It's a clip of John McCain appearing on Des Moines' WHO radio last July, when on-air talent Jan Mickelson played him Tom Harkin's comments from earlier that month, recorded on the floor of the Senate:

And if we leave, there will be a bloodbath in Vietnam. All of the people who supported us will be slaughtered in the streets. Well, it didn't happen.

Except for the several million killed, imprisoned, or who fled through shark and pirate infested seas, nothing bad happened after we left Viet Nam.

The biggest difference in the Right and Left is our ability (or willingness) to recount historical facts.

Yes, and there was no persecution in Eastern Europe after the U.S. sold the region out to the Soviets after World War 2. Life was beautiful, and there were no toilet paper shortages whatsoever! And North Korea and Zimbabwe are perfect utopias where everyone lives in peace and harmony, with bunnies and green grass and rainbows. Don't tell Jimmy Carter about the bunnies, though. /s

And so soon after Dith Pran’s death, too. What a great guy, Mr. Harkin.

To harkin—
Is that why all those “boat people” left the country?
It was too much of a paradise?

No matter how many people tell me I am nuts, I still think Harkin and Biden were separated at birth.

OMFG. What a sick, sick man. Same goes for John Kerry.

Funny how I personally know people who didn't see their fathers for 12-17 years. Or ever again after the fall of the Republic of Viet Nam. Not to mention my Khmer friends.

Yes, and nothing bad happened in Europe after Hitler came into power, either. The left are stupid, and mentally defective. A bunch of utopian fools who RE-WRITE HISTORY to suit their fantasy world they create at every turn.

All you have to do, is listen to Obama for no more than a minute at any given time, and you get a large enough dose of what the left has degenerated to — to wake up anyone with an IQ over 65.

I think they must be related to the idiots who keep returning Kennedy and Kerry to office.

When Bill Clinton wanted to reestablish relations with the North Vietnamese communists, Tom Harkin was the communist he sent over first to treat with them. I wonder why...

Actually, if that’s Harkin’s wife in the picture with Ortega, they look “separated at birth” to me!

Even better, he made the trains run on time.
