More Liberal Compassion


Given that these people screeched like stuck pigs over Gitmo, you'd think a government indulging in 'racially based sterilization, terrorism and genocide ' would, y'know, rate at least a raised eyebrow from our ever-compassionate betters on the Left.

At least you would, if you didn't know that the Left reserves the term 'genocide' to refer to a country building a barrier to keep out homicidal fanatics. Merely trying to eliminate a troublesome ethnic group doesn't qualify. Of course, the fact that this is occurring in Viet Nam may suggest a reason why the L3 would rather we didn't mention it. It is kind of rude to ruin their basking in the glory of the Grovsenor Square demo by pointing out they were rioting in support of a Marxist dictatorship.

Worst of all, John Kerry, a man who can't go two minutes without mentioning his service in Nam, is the very Senator blocking US countermeasures. His Majesty gives the French-looking guy a well-deserved reaming.
