They're, what?, two rows apart here? Maybe three? Nope... No connection at all. (Well, expect for the ranting, left-wing, commie, hate-America-first stuff that is.)

David Thorne, ex-brother-in-law to Sen. John Kerry, strongly denied late Monday that the Democratic presidential front-runner had any ties to anti-American actress "Hanoi" Jane Fonda, who adopted Kerry's group, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, as her pet cause in 1971.
Asked if Kerry had any relationship whatsoever with Fonda, David Thorne told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes," "No."
But he immediately qualified the unequivocal denial, telling Alan Colmes that Kerry and "Hanoi" Jane had "met each other, they knew each other a little bit."
Still, Thorne insisted, "John was never part of what Jane Fonda did."
Mr. Thorne, who now serves as a Kerry campaign advisor, was himself active in the anti-war movement and edited Kerry's 1971 war protest book "The New Soldier," which features photos of the Democratic presidential front-runner demonstrating side-by-side with America basher Ramsey Clark.
As NewsMax.com reported on Sunday, contrary to Mr. Thorne's account, Ms. Fonda and Sen. Kerry worked together on at least two antiwar protests in the early 1970s.
In Sept. 1970, both Kerry and "Hanoi" Jane addressed a widely covered protest rally at Valley Forge, Penn., where Fonda denounced the Nixon administration as "cold-blooded killers."
According to Douglas Brinkley's Kerry biography "Tour of Duty," Fonda's celebrity and Kerry's performance helped turn the Massachusetts Democrat into a star of the anti-war movement.
From there the Democratic presidential front-runner collaborated with "Hanoi" Jane on "The Winter Soldier Investigation," which encouraged Vietnam veterans, some of whom later turned out to be impostors, to detail war crimes they committed.
During Monday's broadcast, Thorne became a bit more candid about Kerry's ties to Fonda when Sean Hannity asked him if he would "be surprised if there were pictures of 'Hanoi' Jane and John Kerry together?"
Sounding suddenly nervous Thorne admitted, "Not at all. John was pictured with a lot of different antiwar people at that time."
Asked specifically about Kerry photos with Fonda and Ramsey Clark, Thorne sheepishly acknowledged, "Yes, he was pictured with all those people."
On Monday NewsMax.com published a photo of Fonda and Kerry together at the 1970 Valley Forge protest.
Any of you guys know who has a vets ping list.

Yeah, and once you are caught praying it is off to the re-education camp.
This guy John Kerry is another Clinton only he's more dangerous. He wouldn't make the same mistakes Clinton made.
I assume that Miss Jane would be the first one to give up her wealth for the cause?
These people make me sick. They spout about communism and everybody loving each other and the downtrodden working class. Meanwhile, they live off of not just middle class income, but real wealth, have no problem spitting on returning soldiers and denying them jobs, and (not so secretly) dispise the working man as being too stupid to run his own life.
My late husband was a grunt in VietNam. I admit I attended a few rallies in my day (before we met), but boy, my tune changed when I had to live with the psychological damage of these leftist bastards who wouldn't hire Nam vets, who prefaced every news account of a crime by saying the perp was a vet, and whose lives were not disrupted in the least while my husband was out walking in the swamps and getting dysentary.
Eff all of them.
