When President Obama said Ho Chi Minh – the North Vietnamese communist revolutionary who led the war effort against the U.S. that cost almost 60,000 American lives – was a fan of the U.S. Constitution and Thomas Jefferson, he was echoing what an influential new book calls one of the most deadly communist disinformation campaigns in American history.
During a White House meeting with Vietnam’s President Truong Tan Sang last Thursday, Obama said he and Sang “discussed the fact that Ho Chi Minh was actually inspired by the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and the words of Thomas Jefferson.”

Obama is just plain stupid!
Read your real history; what he said, in context is absolutely correct.
Sounds like this piece is nothing but propaganda. So you mean the youth in 60's-70's that were being drafted to fight and die in a war that had no clear implications for their lives at a time where many of them (minorities) were still treated as second class citizens weren't genuinely pissed enough to protest? No, it was all the KGB's fault huh? Not to mention the subtle "if you're not for war, your against America" underlying narrative.
12:49 Yea, like his quote about "our rich longtime Muslim heritage". Name me one Muslim who fought for America in any war.
anyone remember the expression; He's eat up? well o is eat up...
I'm sure Obama views Ho Chi Minh as a role model.
