Breitbart TV has video of Democratic Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts telling a whopper on C-Span.
Sen. John Kerry said during a C-Span appearance that fears of a bloodbath after the US withdrawal from Vietnam never materialized. He says he’s met survivors of the “reeducation camps” who are thriving in modern Vietnam. An award-winning investigation by the Orange County Register concludes that at least 165,000 people perished in the camps.
And 2 million in Cambodia.
Agreed. Don seems to feel that Kerry is simply being stupid. That’s possible, but increasingly I’m considering that this is simply another Kerry lie. As a Vietnam veteran, which Mr.Kerry is constantly reminding us that he is…. (By the way did you know he served in Vietnam? ) …he would know that Vietnam is the best possible example of why we should not be withdrawing from Iraq before the job’s done.
Kerry has always been a person willing to lie for political gain. This is something that his campaigns for president have proven. I believe we have another example of this in front of us.

John McCain(USN) nails Kerry:
We said, if we left Cambodia, everything would be fine. Stop the bombing in Cambodia. I can find you the quotes in the Congressional Record. Stop the bombing in Cambodia, they’ll sort these things out. And they’ll have a nation that’s free from interference and killing by the Americans. Well, yeah, they got it. Three million people slaughtered in genocide. Three million. And everything was going to be fine in Vietnam if you might recall. It was going to be workers paradise. Thousands executed. Millions – hundreds of thousands put in re-education camps. Millions of people risking their lives to get in boats to get the hell out of there. Because of the incredible oppression that existed. And I don’t mean to keep revisiting another war, but if we ignore the lessons of history, the consequences are obvious.
Bravo Zulu, John.
