History: Few comparisons have been as odious as the one offered by the president linking one of the great mass murderers of history to one of America's Founding Fathers and authors of our liberty.
Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were mortal and inhumane enemies who joined civilization after their hideous barbarism was defeated.
They renounced their former brutality, acknowledged their guilt and shame, and became our strongest allies as they genuinely embraced liberty and democracy. They did not forget their past. They repudiated it.
Vietnam has never repudiated its past while celebrating a faux victory over an American enemy that was never defeated on the battlefield but only in the halls of a Congress that abandoned an ally and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
President Obama met with his Vietnamese counterpart, President Truong Tan Sang, last Thursday in the same Oval office where LBJ picked bombing targets in a war he micromanaged into futility. The 44th president conveniently forgot Vietnamese history and slandered ours by linking a founder of our democracy, Thomas Jefferson, to the mass murderer Ho Chi Minh.

Well he’s a sewer dweller.
The stories I’m reading about this seem to treat this as an new idea. But when I was a kid 40 years ago I seem to remember this was a pretty popular idea among the anti-war crowd.
Did I just dream that?
bttt
It’s amazing the “qwap” that comes out when Obozo doesn’t have a teleprompter.
As a Vietnam Vet I put Zero at even below Hanoi Jane on the traitor list
No, that canard was a staple of the drooling circle jerks known in the 60's as "teach-ins."
The Vietnamese patriots I know, like the guy next to my office strongly disagree with this insanely stupid comment.
Back at ya, you slimy POS!!!!

No way. The punk POTUS isn’t that stupid.
Obscenity.
Obama’s brain reached overload status in 1981 when he was 20 years old. His opinions always mirror the left-wing opinions of that era or what he absorbed from his red diaper baby mama. He is impervious to any new information which might change his opinion on a subject.
Yea, I can hear his mother feeding that one.
“Ho was just a nationalist until we radicalized him.”
He was a Communist since he was a young man.
Ho Chi Minh, Obama sure knows a lot about this guy and very little about our historical figures.

Thanks for your service. I put il Douche below Hanoi Jane on the crapper.
Wasn’t Jefferson from the 56th state, or was it the 57th state. I always get that confused...
I don’t know . . . Jefferson was pretty enthusiastic about the French Revolution.
