Here's the thing - don't expect me to be enthused about someone who cozys up to a mass murderer.

291. How quickly people forget the murdered...and their murderers

Forget all about that boring history stuff, eh Treestar? Read up indeed, if you dare, on Operation Condor and Herr Dr. Kissinger's part in it, and let's see if you change your views of huggable old Uncle Henry. There you shall find many, many murders of Liberals like you and me, sickening cruelty, torture, rapes, and also child theft, and tons of silence about it afterwards, which I would hope would meet the definition of the words "mass murderer" to you, as it applies to Henry Kissinger and his documented knowledge, support, and implementation of Operation Condor.

Secondly, yes: if you claim to be a student of politics/history, and you call yourself a follower of Jesus, the Buddha, human rights, what have you, and you have even a tattered shred of decency, you should indeed publicly shun an unrepentant mass murderer...EVEN if you were a slimy, glad-handing politician.

I do believe Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders would openly shun or not invite the man to their functions.
