Ho Chi Kerry & Hanoi Jane
What a duo

Unaltered picture

Can you find Ho-Chi-Kerry?

When I read this in NewsMax over the weekend I figured that the picture must exist somehwere, and will surface sometime.  That didn't take long.  Here's the whole deal as published by the intrepid "Hon" (who is most famous for this piece of journalism)
 

They called themselves the winter soldiers.

In tattered Vietnam combat fatigues, the anti-war veterans marched through the small towns and strip malls of central New Jersey in September 1970.

Staging "guerrilla theater" re-enactments of the conflict raging overseas, they swept down on young actors dressed as peasants in coolie hats and black pajamas and spattered mock blood on shocked Main Street Americans.

At Palumbo's Pharmacy in Bernardsville, they took a "peasant" hostage and demanded the location of the community's weapons. A few miles down U.S. Route 202, a New Jersey farm boy raised a shotgun and told the re-enactors to go back to Russia.

Some 150 sweat-soaked members of Vietnam Veterans Against the War ended their three-day trek at Valley Forge, Pa., on Sept. 7, 1970. Huddled around a flatbed truck, they listened to remarks by Jane Fonda and a reading from Donald Sutherland.

Between the main acts came a floppy-haired former Navy lieutenant who had won a fistful of medals on the bloody canals of the Mekong Delta. Tall and self-assured, 27-year-old Yale graduate John Kerry read from a rumpled sheaf of papers in the ringing voice that had commanded men on gunships.

Condemning the tactics and morality of the war, Kerry was "brilliant," Fonda says today. He looked like Abe Lincoln and sounded like John F. Kennedy. "He was our ragtag commander at Valley Forge," says veterans organizer Joe Bangert. [Chicago Trib excerpt]

With fake Photoshopped (sue me Adobe) pictures being so prevalent the [reduncancy alert] lying Donks will just claim that the photo is "doctored". Duh!

No they won't, because they'd have to claim that the whole story of Kerry and Fonda's commie rant was manufactured, and they can't. I do remember though, that in 1992 a book written by a pro Clinton anti-war Jesuit documented Clinton's involvement in the US anti war movement, something he denied. He was "talked to" by the Clinstapo, and disappeared. Something about mistake identity. The press, naturally, did no follow up. Too many witnesses here though.

I does look as if the Hanoi/Ho Chi pic has been altered. The bearded thing to the right of Jane has some letters or something etched into its beard and hair.

Never mind. I should click all the links before I comment.

God, Kerry was ugly back then. So ugly that Jane Fonda wouldn’t let him sit in the front row.

Kerry is just as ugly now but he looks like something we are familiar with-a Tennessee hound dog.

Gee - they were both in the same place at the same time. Quite the smoking gun!!!!!!! You people need to grow up. Being against Vietnam did not mean that everyone felt the way Fonda did about soldiers. Yet another right wing attempt at much ado about nothing.

Kerry earned the right to protest the war! How many cry babies protested and never left thier
mother's home?

As History shows, that war was trumped bullshit!
and Americans should always voice thier opions.

If I were you, I'd be a bit more concerned about this picture of Saddam Hussein and Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands. After all, this picture is from 1983.

To say Rummy, the President's close confidant, is a traitor is as ridiculous as implying the same of Kerry. Let's all grow up, stop our name calling and discuss the real issues. Fear and half-truths as a means to political power is Stalinist.

Fonda would be proud to have Ho Chi Kerry for
president. Think about it.
And Have A Nice Day.
