- Bruce 7/13/06: "I was just listening to the show in my car and what I heard from the readings was a pathetic blathering of Marxist brainwashing. The poor young woman exhibits an intense indoctrination in Uncle Ho's ideology. Please remember she was part of the North Vietnamese Invasion of another country, a pure and simple power play on the part of North Vietman."
