First, he must not have heard the debate in which Hillary said that
Kissinger is a model for her or an advisor, or some such statement. Second,
I used to think this guy was a Progressive. But anyone who thinks Jill Stein
is too far left and a Putin admirer and is still equating Putin with
Communism, is somewhere off the deep edge.

Pierce writes: "Kissinger is a bridge too far. He is responsible for more
unnecessary deaths than any official of a putative Western democracy since
the days when Lord John Russell was starving the Irish, if not the days when
President Andy Jackson was inaugurating the genocide of the Cherokee. He
should be coughing his life away as an inmate at The Hague."

If Hillary Clinton Seeks (or Accepts) an Endorsement From Henry Kissinger,
She's Lost My Vote
By Charles Pierce, Esquire
10 August 16
On Monday, there was a fascinating piece in Tiger Beat On The Potomac in
which some unnamed people in the campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton
whispered to a reporter that the campaign was sending out feelers to what
the story laughingly referred to as the foreign-policy "elders" of the
Republican Party. The list of foreign policy "elders," according to TBOTP's
sources, included the following examples of the Republican Undead:
Henry Kissinger: war criminal and abettor of abattoirs around the world.
James Baker: political survivor, mastermind of the Great Florida Ratfck of
2000, Bush family retainer.
George Schultz: potential Iran-Contra stool pigeon.
Condoleezza Rice: National Security Advisor during Worst National Security
Disaster in U.S. History.
Also:
Stephen Hadley, a national security adviser to then-President George W. Bush
who also is considered an elder, dodged when asked to answer "yes or no" on
Thursday whether Trump has the temperament to be president. Hadley's
response, however, offered a glimpse into the dilemma facing Republicans
wondering whether to back Trump: By casting him off, do you undermine your
chance to shape the party's future? "It's a very difficult position that a
lot of Republicans are in and it sounds easy so a number of my Republican
friends have said, 'He does not have the temperament, and therefore, I
endorse Hillary Clinton.' And that is a legitimate approach," he said during
a POLITICO Playbook Breakfast. "The problem with that approach is that
Republicans will then say, 'Well, you know, you really weren't a Republican
anyway' and shelve them. And you then deal yourself out of the debate within
the Republican Party about what does the Republican Party stand for."
Hadley also once said this:
What the president has said is that we do not torture. And he said that
while we need to be aggressive in the war against terror, we also have to do
it in a way that complies with U.S. law, with U.S. treaty obligations and
with the Constitution.
This, as we have come to learn, is a fairly demonstrable non-fact.
Now, the story is intriguing if looked at in a certain way. Reading the tea
leaves laid out by anonymous bureaucrats to reporters is always cut-rate
Kremlinology, but let's do it anyway. I can't imagine at this point that
there aren't a number of somebodies within the HRC campaign already planning
what to do once the election is over and HRC wins. (That seems fairly
prudent to me.) What if there is some internal tug-of-war breaking out
between the people who want President HRC to govern from "the middle," which
I consider a fairly mythical place at the moment, and some of the people who
want her to genuinely be an agent of change on every front? (Let's guess
that the latter group is made up of younger people.) Certainly, that's a
fascinating political story on which to keep a weather eye for the rest of
the campaign, and it can't be easy for the candidate herself to navigate its
course, either.
However.
I live in the bluest damn state there is east of Hawaii. My senators are
Senator Professor Warren and Edward Markey. Less than a third of my fellow
citizens are Republicans. (Granted, one of them is the governor, but let's
move on.) HRC could not lose the Commonwealth (God save it!) even if she
drank a polyjuice potion and campaigned here transformed into Alex
Rodriguez. So I can say this full in the knowledge that what I say will not
have the slightest effect on the outcome of the presidential election. But
it is not negotiable.
If Hillary Clinton actively seeks, or publicly accepts, the endorsement of
Henry Kissinger, I will vote for Gary Johnson and Bill Weld on November 8.
(Jill Stein, you might've been a contender, but going off to Red Square to
talk about Vladimir Putin and human rights? Being an honored guest of a
Russian propaganda channel? I don't think so.) Kissinger is a bridge too
far. He is responsible for more unnecessary deaths than any official of a
putative Western democracy since the days when Lord John Russell was
starving the Irish, if not the days when President Andy Jackson was
inaugurating the genocide of the Cherokee. He should be coughing his life
away as an inmate at The Hague, not whispering in the ears of a putatively
progressive Democratic presidential candidate. I can tolerate (somewhat) the
notion of her reaching out to the rest of the wax museum there, but
Kissinger is a monster too far. He is my line in the sand. I can choose who
I endorse to lead my country, a blessing that Henry Kissinger worked his
whole career to deny to too many people.
Plus, I really do want Bill Weld to be vice-president.
