Liberals & NDP

[RightWinger]

Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia (Red Hand), a US backed, supposedly socialist dictator who killed millions of people. Typically anyone seen as a liberal, schoolteachers, politicians and the like. Those lucky enough not to be murdered outright were sent for re-education. If they didn't seem to be responding to the brainwashing they were killed anyway.

Pol Pot was a staunch US ally against the USSR and North Vietnamese, which is why you probably never heard of him. Mass murdering dictators only get talked about in western media when the US administration doesn't like them. The "friendly" mass murding dictators are left alone.

What a howler that is. Except that it's not funny at all.

Be careful what you read in Wikipedia (and elsewhere too for that matter). BTW, the French version of the same article is entirely different.

The French version of everything is entirely different. It is usually backwards and very self serving, as long as the gov't is willing to pay for it!
