Kerry Tied to Communists?
The New York Sun reports today that the communists in Hanoi closely monitored the anti-war movement in the United States in the 1970s, including the activities of Vietnam Veterans Against The War. John Kerry, of course, was a prominent leader of that organization. The commies liked what they were seeing. According to The Sun, documents were discoverd in the Douglas Pike Collection at Texas Tech. The late Mr. Pike was a career foreign service officer who brought the documents to the university's Vietnam Center from Saigon. One of the documents claims that the Vietcong representative to the Paris Peace Talks, Madame Binh, was directing the U.S. anti-war movement, and her American contact was John Kerry. Kerry has admitted at least one meeting with Madame Binh. The blogosphere is abroil with the news. Chad Evans is an alum of Texas Tech and reports confirmation of the documents. Wizbang, Captain's Quarters, and Michelle Malkin comment. Bloggers seem surprised, but I'm not at all. In 1971, I was a student at Georgia State University in Atlanta. Various groups manned protest tables at the school every day and handed out anti-war material. Most of them readily claimed to be communists, at least philosophically. They would spout the latest propaganda from Moscow or Bejing at the least provocation. They promoted communist meetings, demonstrations and activities every day.
