Klein of American Prospect: 'McCain Was on Wrong Side of Vietnam War'

There is an upside to the “nutroots” egging on the Liberals in American politics. Liberals have tended to assume camouflage for their statist and collectivist ideas because they have perceived that the American public, who they view as ignorant rubes, are not ready for their ideas.

Take the Viet Nam war. The story line is that the Liberals who cut off aid to our South Vietnamese allies were opposed to the war. They wanted an end to bloodshed. They were for peace, even when that peace ended up as the peace of the grave for millions. That’s the story and up until now they have stuck to it.

But the “nutroots” have convinced them that they can now drop the camouflage. They are free to tell us what they really feel. And Ezra Klein, 23 year-old staff writer for the American Prospect, drops his mask about his side on Viet Nam. He tells Chris Matthews that John McCain was on the wrong side of the war. There is only one way of looking at that assertion: Klein and people who think like him were not for peace, they were for a Communist victory.

The “nutroots” have convinced these people that they are now a practical majority.

When you live in an echo chamber, your deepest innermost thoughts come out because you are no longer afraid to utter them. I, for one, am glad that these people are revealed for who they are and what they believe. Camouflaged, they were more dangerous than now that their true shapes are revealed. Thanks to the “nutroots.”
