CIA Director Voted for the Communist Party September 23, 2016 Daniel Greenfield
Who won the Cold War again?
Zitat CIA Director John Brennan voted for the Communist Party candidate in the 1976 presidential election.
Brennan told a congressional panel last week that he “froze” while taking a CIA polygraph test four years later when the questioner asked him if he had ever worked with or for a group that was “dedicated to overthrowing the U.S.,” CNN reported.
“This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate,” Brennan said at a panel discussion regarding diversity in the intelligence community during the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual conference
. A few things.
If he had admitted to voting for the Nazi Party, he would have been hounded out of everywhere. And rightly so. What's wrong is that voting for a mass murdering totalitarian ideology is just considered a whimsical act of a passionate young man. This is the pernicious double standard that has allowed the left to evade its moral responsibility for the crimes of the left.
Communism and its fellow travelers have never been held accountable. That is unfortunately still the case.
It's very telling that voting for the Communist candidate wasn't disqualifying. There are numerous stories of what was deemed disqualifying, including having family in Israel. But you can have a Communist past and still become the CIA Director.
And final question, who really won the Cold War when America's highest offices are run by people whose essential ideas and politics are far closer to Lenin than Eisenhower.
Unbelievable. The criminal nature of Communism had been well documented by 1976. For example, The Gulag Archipelago had already been published as well as other investigations the testimony of refugees. Brennan has no excuse for such stupidity and in no way ought be in the important position he is.

Shock claim: Obama picks Muslim for CIA chief Former FBI expert claims John Brennan converted to Islam Published: 02/10/2013 at 4:52 PM
One of the FBI’s former top experts on Islam has announced that President Obama’s pick to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, converted to Islam years ago in Saudi Arabia.
As WND has reported, former FBI Islam expert John Guandolo has long warned that the federal government is being infiltrated by members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood. But Guandolo now warns that by appointing Brennan to CIA director, Obama has not only chosen a man “naïve” to these infiltrations, but also picked a candidate who is himself a Muslim.
“Mr. Brennan did convert to Islam when he served in an official capacity on the behalf of the United States in Saudi Arabia,” Guandolo told interviewer and radio host Tom Trento.
“That fact alone is not what is most disturbing,” Guandolo continued. “His conversion to Islam was the culmination of a counterintelligence operation against him to recruit him. The fact that foreign intelligence service operatives recruited Mr. Brennan when he was in a very sensitive and senior U.S. government position in a foreign country means that he either a traitor … [or] he has the inability to discern and understand how to walk in those kinds of environments, which makes him completely unfit to the be the director of Central Intelligence.”
