Obama: Vietnam Leader Ho Chi Minh Was Inspired by Founding Fathers

[JoeBlam]

Best friend the NLF ever had was Walter Cronkite....that asshole saw what we did to them during the Tet and yet called them the winners. My team was assigned to show ol Walter the area around Dak To that had been deforrested....pulled us off something important to bodyguard his ass on a dog and pony bit for CBS....he never showed....drunk on his ass in a Saigon bar. Meanwhile a the line-unit we were supposed to do a recon for got hit and chewed on pretty good....that's on him.

This is insanity. Is Obama that ignorant or just that determined to kiss the butts of dictators?

I thought Obama studied the constitution. How did he see it as a thumbs up to dictatorship?

Stirewalt believes that the comments were either a gaffe and that the president didn't know about the atrocities committed by Ho Chi Minh or that he was being "morally flexible" to make his guest feel at home.

I'm pretty sure that Mussalini inspired Bush.

Inspired...which way?

 

[ScienceRocks]

Wow, this is pretty fucked up?

Really a man that killed millions of people for wanting freedom=our founders.

Ho Chi Minh modeled the Vietnamese Declaration of Independence he pinned on the American model. Of course that was back in 1945 before the French we're given back it's former colonies.

Recently register. I like this site. You guys will argue about anything. Being a rightwing leftest gun loving that likes socialist programs sprinkled into a capitalist system, I don't know if I will fit, but I do know that Ho expected the USA to support Vieatnams independence after our defeat of our mutual enemy, Japan. Worst mistake in American policy was to go along with the French after WWll and allow them to recolonizs IndoChina. So, ya, anyhow, Ho was inspired by the Founding Fathers in 1945 and the idea of our democracy and constitution, but as soon as we sided with the French things changed as he was pushed into obtaining aid from the communist to fight the French.

just because he stole or paraphrased from a document means squat absent any tangible usage and or application of the platforms, axioms expressed there in, it was an idiotic and inane comparison, to the max.

East Germany was known as the German Democratic Republic, it wasn't even close.....

At the time it was written he was hoping for American support on liberating his country and keeping the French colonial rulers out.

Just more Fauxrage drummed up by the anti-Obama network.

You are absolutely correct.

For Obama to bring it up now, as if it is relevant to the country today, is completely asinine.

Of course, the far left never met a dictator they didn't like. How many people from Obama's administration went to the funeral for Chavez? How many went to pay respect for Margaret Thatcher?

If one judges by his actions, he is way more respectful of socialist or communist dictators than of capitalists. I know some people are completely fooled by Obama's speeches, but never realize that so much of the time, his words don't match his actions. The few times he was totally honest when speaking, the media rushed to cover it. I am think of the time he admitted to Joe the Plumber that he wanted to redistribute the wealth. Instead of blasting him for such a socialist view, the media attacked Joe. Bad Joe managed to trick Obama into telling the truth and we can't have that.

This means what exactly?


he was engaged in the usual potemkin play for useful idiots of which apparently, you're one. He was recognized by the ussr and china, we never did antebellum.

what did he do when the French lost at dien bien phu in 54 and left in 56 etc.? ( we could go right back to the beginning but I'll give you that 11 years)....

Obama wasn't comparing anyone and you and the OP are too obsessed with your faux outrage to see that. All he said was he was inspired by them. He didn't defend what he did, just said he was inspired.
I also like how many Americans will point out the people the man killed but never mention what we did to the Vietnamese. So to sum it up, get over it, Presidents have to be diplomatic.

Unbelievable the little shit the ODS wingnuts will have an aneurysm about.

Thatcher and Chauvez are pretty comparable. Of course you probably have no clue why some might not go to her funeral.

Obviously a history buff. Correct on all counts.
