Statue of Communist Dictator Josef Stalin Placed in Bedford, VA Public Memorial.

Stalin bust has Virginia town red-faced

The small town of Bedford, Va... is now the home of one of the world's few public memorial busts of communist dictator Josef Stalin.

Local citizens and organizations have expressed their outrage over the installation of the bust at the National D-Day Memorial, which honored the 66th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy over the weekend. The bust of the Soviet Union's wartime leader was unveiled last week to accompany existing busts of U.S. Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman as well as British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

"Having Stalin in our backyard, people are really upset about that," said Karl Altau, the managing director at the joint Baltic American National Committee that has helped in movements against the Stalin bust.

Why am I sure that Obami Salaami personally installed it ?

The National D-Day Memorial concept was authorized under the Bush administration in 2001, But this Josef Stalin statue showed up last month June 1, 2010 under Obama's administration. Democrat William McIntosh is the man in charge of this memorial & he has donated thousands to the democrat party. William McIntosh defends his including this statue.

I don't care who paid for it...to me, that statute seems like an abomination.

......well, Stalin WAS Time magazine's Man of the Year.

It's one thing to point him out as a part of history.
It's quite another to portray him as a war hero.

I suspect if it's not removed, then it will be vandalized.
