You forgot the tweets extolling Stalin, old-left communism, etc.

Here's another awesome quote from that lovable Stalinist scamp Mitford: , I think in the long run, the interests of the Hungarian people are best served by entry of Russian troops

Thereby validating that time old adage that "being a good liberal means never having to say you are sorry".
