A brief time ago I asked if anyone knew about the term "useful idiots" well here's an answer.
Lenin is widely credited with the prediction that liberals and other weak minded souls in the West could be relied upon to be "useful idiots" as far as the Soviet Union was concerned. Though Lenin may never have actually uttered the phrase, it is consistant with his cynical style. . . . liberals managed, time after time during the Cold War, to live down to this . . . prediction.
The above paragraph is from the book "Useful Idiots; How Liberals Got it Wrong in the Cold War and Still Blame America First" by Mona Charen. You could substitute Islamic-facism [or whatever your choice is] for Soviet Union and you can see how the Liberal Democrats are falling into the same mold as they did during the Cold War. BTW the book is a good read for those that were too young during the Cold War time and shows just where people stood. We can see now how these same people trying to revise history-as they are trying to do now with the war-on-terror [and the run up to it].
