| New Republic admits Jimmy Carter is NKor Dupe |
| 2010-11-28 |
| Publisher of the lefty New Republic is Marty Peretz and in a Nov 25 opinion (it is an opinion journal) he not only calls Jimmy Carter a dupe but a repeat dupe. Here is how it starts, "The former president has been gulled once again, this time by the Communist regime in North Korea, a very brutal system of control, indeed. It's not the first time that the Kim dynasty has taken him in. But it is the ex-president at his most outlandishly doltish...." Peretz ends his column by admitting that Henry Wallace was similarly a dupe at the time he was the editor of the New Republic. |

| #5 Whoa, this is huge - AFAIK the NEW REPUBLIC has always been one of Jimbo's biggest defenders. IMO akin to KRUSCHEV + CPSU dissing STALIN back in the early 1950's. |

| #4 Peretz is playing the ever-green game of "they were dupes; we're not". Don't buy it. |

| #2 WTF? More than six decades ago, Henry Wallace, who was dumped from the vice presidency by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, went on a rampage of support for the Soviet Union. Peretz goes on to note that: "By the way, Wallace was editor of The New Republic (which published this drivel)" BRB gotta go teach a hog-dawg how to properly point, not sure the goldies can deal with flying pigs. |

| #1 I like the ending where they call the communist party candidate on the "Progressive Party line". Of course this had nothing to do with the new progressive label on today's liberals or does it? |
