100 Million Victims of Communism Memorial Dedication = Minimal Liberal Media Coverage
The liberal media love to talk about “victims,” particularly victims of alleged economic or social oppression, such as illegal immigrants, children without enough Head Start funding, the homeless, the transgendered, detainees at Gitmo, and so on. But when it comes to victims of left-wing ideology--i.e., Communism--the liberal media don’t say too much. And this is evident in the minimal (in my view) coverage given to the dedication of the Memorial to the Victims of Communism in Washington, D.C. on June 12, an event where President Bush spoke and where some of the world’s leading experts on communism’s atrocities--more than 100 million victims--spoke as well.

Marxism-Leninism (communism) dominated the 20th century, sparked the Cold War, and through political terror and government-made famines and communist labor camps killed more than 100 million people. Lenin and Stalin instituted a system that killed at least 25 million people; Mao Tse-Tung and China, 60 million victims; Pol Pot in Cambodia, 2 million victims; North Korea, 2 million victims; Ethiopia, 725,000; Vietnam, 1.8 million. The list goes on.
