Ramsey Clark, the IAC and the WWP are not associated with UFPJ. Get your facts straight.

You claim to care about Vietnamese who were killed after the US withdrew. If you care about them, why don't you care about the much larger amount who died from the ten-year US invasion and occupation of Vietnam? Why don't you care about the millions of Cambodians who died from Nixon's bombings (which dropped more bombs than had been used in WWII.) And why don't you care about the Vietnamese who continue to be maimed, and die, to this day, from the Agent Organge that the US military sprayed?

You are totally wrong. Hayden is not denouncing the USA. UFPJ is not deceiving anyone with a socialist agenda. Hayden and UFPJ both believe fervently in democracy. You are not making sense.

Ssgtforce, you are such a misinformed throwback! I'll bet you still back the real traitors: Bush & Cheney. Wake up and smell the fascists! Those who would destroy our freedoms from within using bogus executive orders saying they can decide who to put away indefinitely without charges and no habeas corpus rights. Or start a war that creates far more terrorists than it ever killed. The list of their treasonous activities is huge, yet you reserve your venom for old Vietnam peaceniks! Hilarious!!!

adellutri:Bombing of Cambodia? How about the death squads who killed any one who collaborated with America after we left Vietnam? 2.5 million died!

[ssgtforce]

When you denounce your Country on a daily basis and deceive the American people with a Socialist agenda. You are a traitor! All these groups have an agenda and do not believe in Democracy.

The fact that Cagan wants freindship with other countries does not make her a traitor to America. The fact that you rabidly hate other countries does not make you a good American. Do you realize that 70% of the US public now wants to exit Iraq?

[adellutri]

If Hayden doesn't believe in Democracy, then why did he serve in the US Senate for 8 years? Why did talk about the importance of the peace movement connecting with the people and the politicians? It is also ridiculous to try and blame the US bombing of Cambodia, which president Nixon started in order to distract the US public, on Hayden.

Facts: Leslie Cagan known supporter of Fidel castro and remnant of the American Communist Party. she is the co chair of UFPJ. You are Communists who hate America and have an agenda to defeat our country and our Troops. Facts- Traitors!, just the facts!

Look up Ad hominum in the dictionary. better yet, learn basic grammar and spelling. You John Birch types would be a lot more credible if you were literate.

[ssgtforce]

He collaborated with the North Vienamese with John Kerry,Ted Kennedy and his then wife Jane Fonda. They called our POW's liars about the torture they endured. His propaganda killed 2.5 million South Vietnamese/Cambodians when we left Vietnam. He is a know Marxist who does not believe in Democracy.
