On top of his near sweep of Super Tuesday primary contests, likely Democratic nominee John Kerry has something else to celebrate tonight - the endorsement from his old anti-American Vietnam War protest buddy, Ramsey Clark.
"I think John Kerry is a great human being," Clark told Accuracy in Media at a press conference a few days ago. "I knew [Kerry] when he was - I call a youngster - in his 20s," said Clark, referring to the days when the former Lyndon Johnson attorney general acted as a lawyer for Kerry's radical group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
"I saw him as an extremely caring person, an extremely courageous person, and a person who was deeply concerned for peace and the well-being of other people," Clark added, saying he hoped a Kerry administration would take U.S. foreign policy in a new direction.
Like Kerry's VVAW colleague Jane Fonda, Clark traveled to Hanoi to give aid and comfort to America's enemies. A photo in Kerry's book "The New Soldier" taken the year before shows the top Democrat and the radical lawyer onstage together during an April 1971 anti-war protest.
Clark and Kerry teamed up again in the 1980s to block Reagan administration efforts to fight communism in Nicaragua.
Though Clark voiced his support four days ago, so far Sen. Kerry has yet to publicly thank his old friend and ally. Clark had better not hold his breath.
