Google is down, so I can't provide any links. However, there is a Republican lie going around talking about how much the Vietnamese communist party loves John Kerry based on a photograph of the Vietnamese Communist Party's Secretary General Do Muoi meeting Kerry. There is a long misleading article attached to it as well that pretty much blames Kerry for the U.S. losing Vietnam and veterans being tortured.
Anyway, it took place in 1993, which was when Kerry was chairperson of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs and when they were trying to find out if any MIA American soldiers were still alive over there. Also, a year later, Clinton made an effort to normalize relations with Vietnam and we began to trade with them by lifting the embargo. John McCain was also a major part of all of this, and was 100% with Kerry as far as I could tell. So when the Republicans start making wild claims, hope google is up. Otherwise, use other sources that are not as good and hope for the best.
