Presidential hopeful John Kerry has a rather dubious honor. He’s in the Vietnamese War Museum in Ho Cho Minh City (formerly Saigon). John Kerry: Anti-American War Hero.
Here’s the payoff:
We submit that today John Kerry has a choice of a somewhat different nature. An exhibit in the re-named War Remnants Museum—an institution with the identical goals of its predecessor—is devoted to those anti-war activists whose conduct contributed significantly to helping the North Vietnamese Communists win the Vietnam War. Included in the exhibit—a significant propaganda coup—is a photograph taken in July 1993. It shows presidential nominee John F. Kerry meeting with the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam. In plain English that even the vacillating Kerry would be hard put to spin, this exhibit in “liberated” Saigon’s foremost propaganda museum is devoted to American traitors. And there hangs a photograph of a potential President of the United States, who carries a lot of antiwar baggage, meeting with the leader of a totalitarian regime that took nearly sixty thousand American lives.
Pretty powerful stuff.
