It does not take much imagination to figure that he thinks communism and killing fields are good. We use abortion to replace the killing fields.

“the U.S. sold the region out to the Soviets after World War 2”

Yes, sorta. The Soviets did conquer them however.
Now if FDR listened to Churchill and did the “back door plan”.....

Harkin will be met at the pearly gates by all of the victims of Vietnam communism, just as Teddy will be met by Mary Jo Kopeckne.

Uh, I'm going to have to dispute your comment for one reason and one reason only. Neither Harkin nor Teddy will make it to the pearly gates. The gates of hell await those two!

Instead of calling out Dhimmicrat lies, they are on the phone calling conservatives asking for money—lying all the while.

Well, I DID say they were "at" the pearly gates. I never said they would get in. :-)

One of my fellow teachers was a 12 year old refugee. He remembers diving down in the boat because they were being shot at as they escaped. He’d be surprised to learn it wasn’t necessary to leave after all...

Yet another fine example of the “Big Lie” technique. Tell a whopper big enough and keep telling it until people believe it because they have heard it so frequently. Especially effective when the MSM is already in the tank for you so that there is so very little chance of being exposed.

I cannot believe I’m reading this. I guess Senator Harkin thinks enough of the folks that actually went through all this are dead and he can say whatever he wants to. A lot like those holocaust deniers. In fact, he is now a holocaust denier.

This guy reminds me of a teacher at my school I argued with once. He was going on and on about the Iraq war, and "what we've done to the Iraqis" and I finally got him to admit that the Iraqis, thanks to us, are better off than the North Koreans are now. But he still seemed to think that wasn't reason enough for us to "impose democracy on them" when it is "foreign to their culture."

So then I mentioned Saddam's use of chemical weapons, and he actually chuckled deprecatingly and admitted, yes, he'd used them on the Kurds. But it was like the Kurds didn't really matter. I can just see someone pointing out to Harkin what happened in Cambodia and him kind of shrugging wryly like, "well, yes, I guess if you want to make a point of it..."

These people are incomprehensible.

In fact, [Harkin] is now a holocaust denier.

Indeed, that's a good way of putting it.

Wow...That is some detailed history right there.

I had just graduated high school at that time and well remember watching this disaster unfold on tv...The airlift from the embassy and the choppers being pushed off of ship decks...And I was mad as hell at the humiliation the US was experiancing and knew the worst was yet to come.

The Senate is worthless. Home of the blowhards and Socialists. All of our problems can be attributed to that POS part of gov’t.

Re: Communist Goals:

In 1963 they had stated the plans to:

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

Wow, I guess that has already happened. Surprisingly the second party (GOP) is about to fall under McCain’s capitulation.

Tom Harkin's comments provide more support for the premise of my theory of liberals. Liberals are people who lack the gene required to process reality.

HILLARY’s, KERRY’s, CLINTON’s, FONDA’s, HAYDEN’s and KENNEDY’s active support of a Communist North Vietnam terrorist takeover of a then Free South Vietnam during the Vietnam War...

Yup. The worst.

But some Dems love him.

Scum like him are at least in part responsible for the atrocities such as the mass murder of the Jews during WWII and the killing fields of Pol Pot.

They attempt to diminish the viciousness and brutality of some of the worst in human history for personal gain.

To diminish the evil that humans are capable of is to insure it will happen again.

And he is a lier to boot.
