Kerry needs a little re-education

As the astute readers of this page noticed, I was absent on Friday last week. As a result of a well deserved day off, I missed another John Kerry gem and only stumbled upon today while digging around on Al Gore’s Internet invention. While on C-Span last week Kerry got this from a caller worried about abandoning Iraq:

"I remember the horrible killings after Vietnam with the boat people coming over here, and I really hate to go off and leave our allies over in Iraq, and I am concerned about that."

Kerry’s unfathomable answer was:

“Let me just say to the first part of your question with respect to boat people and killing, everybody predicted a massive bloodbath in Vietnam. There was not a massive bloodbath in Vietnam. There were reeducation camps, and they weren't pretty and, you know, nobody, you know, likes that kind of outcome. But on the other hand, I've met lot of people today who were in those education camps, who are thriving in the Vietnam of today.”

This is why it’s hard to argue with a Liberal, they live in their own alternate universe with their own made up facts. After the communist take over in Vietnam, tens of thousands were killed (Hmm in lib speak that would be a bloodbath were it happening in a place like Darfur but it’s not a bloodbath when it happened in Vietnam as a result of another Democrat surrender.), 100 thousands more fled by boat many dying at sea in their escape attempt, and 100s of thousands more were re-educated. The Montagnards are being persecuted to this very day. And don’t forget about the two million dead Cambodians along with 41 US service members killed during the Mayaguez incident when the Communist Cambodia domino fell as a result of the Democrat surrender in Vietnam.

But let’s just pretend Kerry got his facts straight and admitted their was a bloodbath in the aftermath of the Democrat Congress surrendering of US interests in Vietnam, how does one talk about people coming out of communist re-education camps and “thriving…today” while condemning your own country’s handling of enemy POWs and non-combatant enemy POWs in our current war on terror? What’s Kerry saying:

“Well you know the US treatment of these poor Islamo-terror-fascists caught trying to kill Americans is just outrageous. We should take a lesson from our Vietnamese comrades and re-educate the Islamo-terror-fascists. That way in 20-25 years they’ll be able to thrive just as the Vietnamese abandoned by the Democrat Congress are thriving in Vietnam today. As my friends the Vietnamese Communists showed us, all it takes is 25 years of brainwashing, prison and torture, uh er, uhmm, re-education that is.”

Could this guy be a bigger dolt?
