Kissinger is a stain on our country and if you associate with him then you deserve nothing from me.

1. BIG K&R

[OhZone]

2. Just about everyone in Dc and even famous celebrities have "associated" with him.

Guilt by association is a pretty evil tactic.

Worthy of the GOP.

Also, I guess Oprah Winfrey is evil?

4. Opray doesn't go on vacations with him

and call him a good friend Hillary does .. so it beyond association

[OhZone]

5. HRC and HK were both secretaries of state.

I'm sure it's mostly on a professional/historical level. Did you know Kissinger co-won the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize? He is a mixed bag like a lot of people.

Bush/Cheney are war criminals, but plenty of politicians who despise what he did are friends with him on a professional level.

Again, guilt by association is a right wing tactic and completely despicable. In fact, it's evil.

Never studied history much?

Look up McCarthy hearings and black listings.

7. You call me evil and Kissinger a mixed bag?

What a fucking joke.

A Kissinger apologist

[OhZone]

8. Oh, he's astronomically more evil than people here -

But you're using an evil despicable tactic. Guilt by association is wrong.

[farleftlib]

3. He is a stain on humanity as well

. He is that rare and foul beast, a man whose record shows sympathy for communism and fascism. It comes from a natural hatred of the democratic process, which he has done so much to subvert and undermine at home and abroad, and an instinctive affection for totalitarians of all stripes.

At 92 he is living proof that only the good die young.

[OhZone]

6. He's also a co-winner of the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize.

I don't like him, but he's a mixed bag.

This all-or-nothing thinking is reminding me more and more of Republican ideology.

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. Kissinger is a republican

and worked for three republican presidents or Republican presidential candidates. He NEVER WORKED FOR A DEMOCRAT..........

You do have a problem with history.

So smearing a rightwing war mongering war criminal is

'right wing smearing?............

[RobertEarl]

10. That is one to keep an eye on

I have a hard time believing anyone on DU would make excuses for HK, but there it is.

[EndElectoral]

12. Yassar Arafat won a Nobel Peace Prize as well. No, Kissinger is not a mixed bag.

Awarded a peace prize for a massive retreat of South Vietnam leaving thousands, and his actions in Cambodia and 20,000 Americans killed while he was SOS is not a mixed bag. It's a despicable record bordering on being a war criminal.

[farleftlib]

13. If there is one person who leasts deserves the benefit of the doubt

it's Henry Kissinger. He has zero redeeming qualities and is the author of human misery on a massive scale. Unrepentant as hell about it all too. To him, human beings are just pawns to be used and tossed aside, no harm done. I feel quite comfortable saying he is an evil man who is beyond redemption.

But thank you for your concern.

Edited to add: It's been said when Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize, satire died. I couldn't agree more.

[Generic Other]

14. The day I give Kissinger a pass is the same day

I forgive Cheney, Nixon, Bush, Reagan, et al. We have a way to go before that cold day in hell arrives.

Any Democrat who cares to ride Kissinger's coat tails deserves to get dragged through the mud.

11. It's not just an association

She takes policy cues from him and is part of his network allowing him access to all levels of power.

In a very real way, voting for her is voting for him, and is also voting for the Bush Admin policies.
