Komrade Kerry

Newsmax

Komrade Kerry has decided, instead of -say- Appointing african Americans to high positions in his campaign decided to honor the founder of the NAACP

who was
(Words in Red come from the Newsmax article)
  • A Stalinist
  • an apologist for Stalin and his excesses ( think Ward Churchill)
  • a Eugenicist
  • a Racial Seperatist
  • twice ejected from the NAACP for his opposition to racial integration.
  • During the Korean war in 1950, in which 54,246 American service men and women would die, Du Bois said that "the North Koreans are fighting exactly the things for which Americans fought in 1776."
  • Three years later, he eulogized Soviet dictator Stalin - one of history's worst mass murderers - as a "great" and "courageous" man, "attacked and slandered as few men of power have been." In his posthumously published autobiography, he called the crackdown on religion behind the Iron Curtain "the greatest gift of the Russian Revolution to the modern world."
  • After a 1937 visit to Nazi Germany, he admitted that the Nazis had stamped out freedom, but nevertheless praised the Hitlerites for creating "a nation at work after a nightmare of unemployment; and the results of this work are shown not simply by private profits, but by houses for the poor; new roads; an end of strikes and labor troubles; widespread industrial and unemployment insurance; the guarding of public and private health; great celebrations, organizations for old and young, new songs, new ideals, a new state, a new race."
  • He failed to mention concentration camps and the gas ovens that consumed millions. And while condemning anti-Semitism, Flynn noted, Du Bois called it "a reasoned prejudice" in Hitler's Germany.
Way to go Komrade Kerry
