Let it not be said that I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I accept your explanation that you were distorting my words with negative spin. Let me know if you want to get around to the topic.
Again, Minh was FIRST betrayed by Truman. That set the stage. You can't change that fact.
Fact? What fact? Repeating the same vague claim over and over will never make it a fact. If you're denying that Ho had any contact with US officials during WWII, please provide something to substantiate your claim.
Simply because Eisenhower followed, you want to blame the GOP? The flaw in that logic is that I could counter that since Kennedy and Johnson followed, the Democrats should be blamed.
You're the one playing the blame game here; please stop putting words into my mouth. If you're denying that Eisenhower championed the "Domino Theory" and/or that he was involved in nation building in S Vietnam, please provide something to substantiate your claim.
Name calling??? Give me a break. Saying you have a liberal slant is name calling? Wondering if and how you protested is name calling? Sheesh. If I called you a f*****g d**k, that, I agree would be name calling. But, quite frankly, I haven't stooped to your level.
Regardless of how you choose to redefine it, what you have been doing is attacking the person rather than the issue. You're the one who is stooping low. Again, you might not like the truth, but you can't refute it.
