A few posts earlier, I had opined here, regarding a poll which reflected the Viet Namese-American communitys' nearly unamimous support of President Bush, and their corresponding disdain for Sen. Kerry.
This morning, while enjoying my daily read over at Allah's, I came across this gem in the comments to this post from the Diety of All Photoshops.
SK,
I am a South Vietnamese refugee living in America. Bush didn't kill a single Vietnamese but John Kerry and Jane Fonda helped the communist to butcher us. Should I thank John Kerry too? Yes he deserves a thank you for the 1st part. Now for the 2nd part, you god damn son of a bitch. Don't ever get your ass over Little Saigon and ask for our vote.Posted by Lan Nguyen at August 10, 2004 06:17 PM

Thanks, Lan. I wish I could have said it that succinctly. I'm glad I didn't have to suffer what you or your family did in order to have been able to bear such witness. I'm glad you're here now, too.
There can be no doubt that we failed in Viet Nam due to the erosion of our national resolve. There can also be no doubt that seditious, socialists such as Fonda, Kerry and their ilk desired that erosion, promoted that erostion and fought to accelerate that erosion.
And of course, it's the same crowd, promoting the same (lack of) ideas, with the same agenda today. Only they want us to fail in Iraq and Afghanistan, creating a whole new world of Lan Nguyens, but with names like Mustapha, Omar and Ali.
Now then, let's do our best to not let any Lan Nguyens down a second time.
Once was enough.
We should start adding up the voting blocs that Kerry ISN'T going to get. The Vietnamese, most of the Viet Nam Vets, the military, gun owners, anyone to the right of Karl Marx...er, I meant Ted (the Swimmer) Kennedy.
