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."

I think the picture of Kerry with RAMSEY CLARK would be a great picture. Ramsey Clark is the total lunatic who said Bush should be impeached.

**I heard that Anti-Vietnam War Kerry somehow (probably not purposely) lead the VC to what resulted in McCain's capture. Is this true? Are there an links to this story?**

I wasn't aware of this and would appreciate knowing if it is true.

[Salvation]

Would the Veterans against John Kerry have a copy of the Jane Fonda/John Kerry picture?

One of Kerry with Daniel Noriega with Mr. and Mrs. Harkin on this thread!

From this very, very long article in the Chicago Tribune, December 4, 2003, Detroit and Philadelphia newspaper archives may be a good place to look.

Also some books:
"The Turning: A history of Vietnam Veterans Against the War," authored by Andrew E. Hunt (1999),
"Home to War: A History of the Vietnam Veterans' Movement," by Gerald Nicosia (2001),
"Covering Dissent: The Media and the Anti-Vietnam War Movement," Melvin Small (1994), might have photos in them. Will check later this evening to see if any are available at local libraries...

I heard that Anti-Vietnam War Kerry somehow (probably not purposely) lead the VC to what resulted in McCain's capture.

I doubt this.

If I recall correctly, McCain was fished out of a lake in Hanoi after being shot down in 1967 or so. The VC would have had no part in this, and Kerry didn't go VVAW until the early '70s.

There appears to be plenty of stuff to hang Kerry on without resorting to refutable items.

[BikerTrash]

ANY photo of him is to be feared.

I suppose he can't help what he looks like, but if I had teeth like that I would punch myself in the face until they were gone.

[donozark]

John McCain was shot down in Oct.1967 while targeting a power plant in Hanoi...
