Vietnam’s government has officially labeled a California-based anti-Communist group a terrorist organization and warned that anyone involved with it will be considered an accomplice in terrorism and will be dealt with in accordance with Vietnamese law.

The Ministry of Public Security said in a statement that Viet Tan, or the Vietnam Reform Party, has been carrying out terrorist activities to end Communist rule in Vietnam. […]

The group was formed in 1982 by a vice admiral in the former U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government.

Viet Tan says it is committed to nonviolent struggle to end Communist rule. The U.S. government has said it has seen no evidence that the group is engaged in terrorism. …

Good. Cut off all trade with these people. Done. Who's next?

I'm fed up with these countries poking a stick in America's eye.

I have a hard time believing there are any anti-Communist groups in California.

The Ministry of Public Security said in a statement

And our Ministry of Propaganda will be backing them up, no doubt.

California is more Communist than Vietnam these days.

Well, that is pretty dumb, Newby.
FREE REPUBLIC is based in California
and there are more Cali FReepers than
from any other state.

At least I had common sense enough to leave the blue state hellhole I was unfortunate enough to grow up in such that I no longer have to take New York jokes personally but laugh along.

But, whatever. Tell Moonbeam I said hi, and have fun choosing between 2 Democrats on your Senate ballot next month.

Wow... calling a human rights group a terrorist organization is like calling the US the “great satan”... (LOL)

There are enough good things about my California
lifestyle to keep me here. Sorry for you that whatever
shit hole you come from drove you away.

That you would say ‘hi’ to Jerry Brown tells me all I need
to know about you.

NY is a shit hole. That’s why I left, and I haven’t looked back.

You sound like an insecure basket case - no wonder CA fits your lifestyle. Have fun under Jerry’s thumb.

I have a lucrative financial interest in a California
agriculture concern that could not be replicated in
whatever shit hole state in which you currently reside.
Even if I wanted to it wouldn’t make sense to leave.
Damn rights I have fun.

Insecure basket case? I see you are so secure you have
yet to mention where you live.

I would tell you where I live now, but that would probably drag this conversation out even longer than I’m interested.

Besides, whatever insults you’d cast about either of the states where I live are meaningless to me anyway because I don’t take such dopey things personally. So, I’ll say goodbye and leave you to your lucrative grow house.

I would imagine that a ‘grow house’ could be replicated
just about anywhere but nice try, Newby. You are right,
however, mentioning your state of residence would likely
drag this conversation out. Perhaps we may delve into
the matter the next time I land upon a post where you
lump millions of us Conservative Californians in with
the libtard voting majority.

“Vietnam labels California group a terrorist organization [Viet Tan]”

Well, stop shipping clothes labeled “Made in Vietnam” to California.

That’ll show’em.

I really agree with you. But liberalism and liberals
are the enemies here, not ALL people who live in a
particular place. If someone shows that they understand
that not all Californians march in liberal lockstep then
I don’t mind what the hell they say about the rest of
the place. Conservative Californians are marginalized
by the liberal majority and the MSM already. Whenever
I have the time and/or inclination I will defend my
fellow conservatives against those who think we don’t
exist. I don’t like being marginalized by those
who share my ideology.
