Yeah, I said it.  I’m not walking it back.

So, again, introduction.  The Atlantic published a piece from “anonymous sources” that Trump called soldiers killed in battle “losers” and “suckers.”

Here is the thing.  Dean’s brother wasn’t a solider.  He was a useful idiot.

As reported by the Baltimore Sun:

Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean confirmed yesterday that a joint U.S.-Laotian task force has likely discovered the remains of his younger brother Charles, who was kidnapped and slain while traveling through Laos 29 years ago.

The discovery resurrects a painful chapter in the life of the former Vermont governor, who was 25 when his brother and an Australian friend, Neil Sharman, were captured during a trip through Laos in September 1974. After months of uncertainty, the Dean family learned from Asian contacts in mid-1975 that Charles Dean was probably dead, but they knew little about the circumstances until recently.

Idealistic and gregarious, Charles Dean served as president of the student body at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and then went on to work as the county chair for Democrat George McGovern’s 1972 presidential bid.

But McGovern’s sound defeat by President Richard M. Nixon disillusioned and angered Charles Dean, who decided to head off on a backpacking trip to Asia.

At the time he was seized by Communist Laotian forces, Charles Dean was 24 years old and had been backpacking through Australia and Asia for about a year. During a trip down the Mekong River, he and Sharman were taken off a ferry and held by Communist forces in a dispute over a camera he was carrying, according to Howard Dean.

He was held in a local police camp for at least three months, and managed to smuggle out a photo of himself, which eventually reached the U.S. Embassy in the Laotian capital.

Through his father’s contacts with a group called the Asia Foundation, Dean said the family received a letter in May 1975 that indicated Charles Dean was likely dead.

George McGovern was very liberal.  How liberal?  Let the late great Charlie Daniels tell you who fans of George McGovern were:

I said would you beleive this man has gone as far
As tearin’ Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
And he voted for George McGoveren for president
Well he’s a friend of them long-haired hippie type pinko fags
I betcha he’s even got a Commie flag
Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage

Howard Dean’s brother Charles was one of those long-haired hippie type pinko fags with a Commie flag tacked up on the wall inside of his garage.

He went on vacation to a warzone where he went to commune with the very Commies he wanted to end the war against, and they captured him, tortured him, then shot him.

Quod erat demonstrandum: fuck Charles Dean and Howard Dean for lying about his brother to attack Trump.

You know those stories where some Lefties go off the Middle East and prove that Muslims are peaceful people and the concern over terrorism is just Islamophobia then get raped and decapitated?  Or some migrant’s rights activist gets raped by a couple of migrants?

And the rest of us say “how fucking ideologically blind and stupid can a person be, didn’t they know something like this could happen?”

This is the 1974 version of that, in Laos.

I shed no tears for a Leftist commy sympathizer who gets shot by the commies he sympathizes with.
