Bright, shining lies

Rick Perlstein's picture

Since the 1970s, the American right has circulated a series of lies about how the liberals who ended the war in Vietnam were the ones responsible for the humanitarian catastrophes caused by the war in Vietnam.

I have debunked them in the past here, here, here, and here. Arm yourselves against the insanity.
