David Cassidy said in his auto-bio that radical things happened in California in the 60's that the rest of America could only read about. True or not the fact that Ho Chi Minh (of North Vietnam) had butchered many landlords to get their land in a 1950's land reform was known in the 1960's in America. And it should have been reason enough to get many Americans, who were against America's part to save South Vietnam from Ho's invasion, gigantic second thoughts about protesting. Back to Cassidy, if he could have learned at any time during or after the protests about Ho being such a mass-murderer would that have been enough to have made him reconsider his own deeply entrenched left-wing stances?
