CASTLEGAR, British Columbia (Reuters) - George McGovern, who ran for the U.S. presidency on an anti-Vietnam War platform, said on Saturday history will show Canada was right to have sheltered that era's war resisters.
McGovern, who was in Canada to speak to a reunion of Vietnam War draft dodgers, said the Iraq war was also "needless and mistaken," but he said it would be presumptuous of him to say Canada should again provide haven for U.S. deserters.
Hey, just another Democrat "supporting our troops." Like Kos and others on the hard, Marxist left, the despicable McGovern—who once supported his running mate Tom Eagleton "1000 per cent" (or was that 2000?) before cutting him loose from the ticket for being treated once for mental illness (how liberal was that?)—McGovern is still, no doubt a "patriot" and a "progressive." Just remember that the term "patriot" is pointed in the direction of Moscow (or whatever its equivalent is today, Pyongyang perhaps), and "progressive" is a synonym for "Marxist" which is primarily used to avoid connecting serial offenders like McGovern with the oldstyle Communism they still embrace.
To borrow a famous leftie lyrical query: "When will they ever learn?" But you know the answer to that already.
