We'll bet you didn't know this about Eugene McCarthy. Yet after Robert Kennedy's assassination, McCarthy said that Kennedy's support for Israel provoked Sirhan Sirhan to assassinate him.
Of course the MSM glossed over this little fact, but it is in keeping with McCarthy's despicable ideology, an ideology that sympathized with America and the Free World's enemies instead of with the defenders of civilization. This same ideology lives in the perennial antiwar movement, where not a word of blame was or is directed at Islamo-Arab imperialism, Soviet/Chinese/Vietnamese/Latin American Communism - any of America's enemies. It shows also in the decades of condemnation for the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, never mind that these were legitimate acts of retaliatory war against an imperial predator that had slaughtered 20 million people and was continuing to massacre hundreds of thousands across Asia to the very end of World War II.
Many years ago National Review wrote a one-line eulogy for a very high-ranking North Vietnamese leader after his passing - "The father of the boat people died in Indochina." It is an appropriate summation of Eugene McCarthy and his ilk.
