About the same as stalin, being a good man.

Boy that makes sense (SARCASM OFF). Wellstone was the happy warrior who didnt say a bad thing about any one else and could defend his positions and then leave the Senate floor and share a drink with his opponent.

Stalin on the other hand was a Communist in name only. He was an authoritarian dictator who would kill his own mother to retain power. He was mean spirited, conniving, and everything was done for his benefit alone. Yeah thats a great comparison.

Just cause a prostitute sells herself for 25 cents and a call girl sells herself for 400 dollars an hour, doesn't make a difference in the way they make their livings.

Both are prostitues selling something that should be dear to them.

You say he was a happy warrior, was he on some sort of pyscho tropic drug?

what a crock Stalin on the other hand was a Communist in name only. No. Stalin was a Communist dictator. He followed the ideology exactly "name only"? what a crock! Enemies of the the state were killed. tartars and independent farmers were starved into submitting to collectivist policies, army men who were politically suspect were murdered 1937-1938 purges), innocent people who dared to even joke about Stalin were sent ot the gulag to die. In the end Stalin killed 20 million or more of his own people. It was a logical conclusion of the Communist ideology that put the state ahead of the individual. People were expendable.

similar destruction occured in China during the 'cultural revolution' and under the communist regime of pol pot. And of course practically every communist country under soviet or chinese orbit, including Cuba up until today, jailed dissidents and political freedom-fighters.
