The Gathering Storm, part CLVI
18th October 2014
Scott Johnson is pessimistic.
John Kerry provides an element of continuity in Democratic politics going back to the fall of Saigon. He rose to prominence as a player in the Democratic production leading to our abandonment of South Vietnam. Kerry’s contribution was the dissemination of a demoralizing set of lies asserting the routine commission of war crimes by American forces. I bought his act at the time, but I was a sophomoric student who didn’t know any better. What is our excuse now?
John Kerry makes Neville Chamberlain look like George Patton. Barack Obama makes Jimmy Carter look like a President.
