Lying about liberals: our national sport

People who have no idea what happened in the Vietnam War should stop making arguments about the war. Which means: most conservatives.

Here's a blogger at the American Scene ruminating about the war's role in the rise of Reaganism:

Whatever else you want to say about "stab in the back" myths being spread later on, the public's response to the collapse of South Vietnam and Cambodia was not one immediately politically damaging to the party that worked to shut off aid to South Vietnam.

I presume he means the Democrats by "the party that worked to shut off aid to South Vietnam." He should shut up.
