The Photo Dems Fear Most: Kerry with 'Hanoi Jane' Democratic Party officials are hoping that no photographs exist of a well-covered Vietnam War protest where soldier-hating actress Jane Fonda and Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry, then and up-and-coming member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, railed against U.S. war policy from the back of the same pick-up truck. "Scores of newspaper articles about the march" exist, according to Kerry biographer Douglas Brinkley. Dubbed "Operation RAW" [Rapid American Withdrawal], the Sept. 1970 march featured Fonda, Kerry and a motley band of anti-war vets in an eighty-six mile trek from Morristown, New Jersey and Valley Forge, Pennsylvania - two Revolutionary War sites. According to "Tour of Duty," Brinkley's book on Kerry's war years, when the protesters reached their destination they were treated to Fonda standing on the bed of a pick-up truck, where she "denounced the Nixon administration as a beehive for cold blooded killers." "Marijuana was in the air," said Brinkley. "Skinny dippers frolicked in the Delaware River. . . [The group's] long hair, ripped jeans, army surplus store canteens, and toy guns gave the VVAW the look of a ragtag band of Haight-Ashbury refugees. . . "Along the marching route, veterans would shout out phrases like 'Kill him!' and 'Cut his belly open' for dramatic effect," said Brinkley. Others who spoke that day proclaimed the U.S. guilty of "genocide" in Southeast Asia. Kerry followed Fonda's Nixon denunciation with a rousing anti-war address that made him "the new leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War," Brinkley said. "From Valley Forge onward, [Kerry] was a committed anitwar activist. . ." From there, Kerry went on to Detroit to organize a particularly offensive bit of guerrilla theater dubbed "The Winter Soldier Investigation," where Fonda presided as U.S. war atrocities were chronicled by "soldiers" who some later suspected were impostors. After Winter Soldier, writes Brinkley, "Fonda personally adopted [Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War] as her leading cause."Reprinted from NewsMax.com

Jane Fonda: World Hates 'Ignorant' America
Even as the Iraqi people confound the blame-America-first left by rejoicing over the U.S.-led defeat of Saddam Hussein, Ted Turner's former moll "Hanoi" Jane Fonda is telling Canadians that Operation Iraqi Freedom will make the whole world turn against America.
"What it's going to mean for our stability as a nation, for terrorism, for the economy, I can't imagine," the long-ago movie star said Tuesday at a lecture in P.C. Vancouver, British Columbia. "I think the entire world is going to be united against us."
'Ignorant of Reality'
The 65-year-old former actress and college dropout fretted that "she isn't sure what Americans can do about it," the Associated Press reported today, and then made this bizarre, grammatically challenged comment:
"I don't know if a country where the people are so ignorant of reality and of history, if you can call that a free world."
An ill-educated, multimillionaire Tinseltown dilettante and communist apologist accusing others of being "ignorant of reality and history"? Pass this item on as the joke of the week.
