WASH TIMES 2/11 Rep. Sam Johnson, Texas Republican, who spent nearly seven years in a prisoner-of-war camp in Vietnam, said yesterday the photograph of Mr. Kerry with Miss Fonda will hurt him nevertheless. "I think it symbolizes how two-faced he is, talking about his war reputation, which is questionable on the one hand, and then coming out against our veterans who were fighting over there on the other," Mr. Johnson said. Mr. Johnson recalled that his North Vietnamese captors played recordings of Miss Fonda telling U.S. troops to give up the war. "Seeing this picture of Kerry with her at antiwar demonstrations in the United States just makes me want to throw up."

IS that a real pic?

When he was 15 Kerry was mean to his mother

Please let us know if this photo is real, before we start circulating it. If it is, please provide the source for the photo.

From a liberal left site, I found a little more information about Jane and the VVAW connection:

"Planning the Winter Soldier Investigation
The Winter Soldier Investigation (WSI) grew out of the moral outrage of American soldiers who had committed acts in response to official orders and policies that were criminal in nature.
etc...
WSI began as a project of CCI, supported by Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) cofounder Jan Crumb, attorney Mark Lane, and actress Jane Fonda. The object of Winter Soldier was to take the all-too-available atrocity stories coming out of Vietnam and show their direct relationship to American policies.
etc...
The Citizen's Commission of Inquiry had contacted VVAW to find witnesses to atrocities. After months of increasingly disharmonious work together, VVAW decided that the public event that was growing out of gathering this testimony would have more credibility as an all-veteran project. Vietnam Veterans Against the War took over the Winter Soldier Investigation in late 1970.

Preparing for the Winter Soldier Investigation
A six-member steering committee for WSI was composed of three national office leaders
etc...
The steering committee set up a collective in a house on the industrial east side of Detroit with the help of Catholic antiwar activists. Mark Lane and Jane Fonda contributed both their fund-raising talents and their perspectives as national figures who understood media. The gathering of testimony had begun under the aegis of CCI the previous summer, and it took a month-and-a-half of on-site planning to put the conference together.

The support of antiwar celebrities was essential. Jane Fonda and her agent, Steve Jaffe, created a series of benefit concerts, including "Acting in Concert for Peace," in which Fonda, Dick Gregory, Donald Sutherland, and Barbara Dane performed, and two musical concerts given by Graham Nash and David Crosby (of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young), and by folk song legend Phil Ochs."

NEW JUST POSTED ARTICLE ON HANOI JOHN

Said U.S. Was Worst Geneva Convention Violator Kerry Testified of '200,000 a Year Who Are Murdered' By U.S. in Vietnam

[FR_addict]

If it's a fake, it's very good. It looks like the other side of a newspaper clip is bleeding through when the copy was made.

[GailA]

Check out post 147 more intel to add to your impressive list.

[madison10]

Yes, that's the real cover. There are more such photos on the inside. Borrowed my copy from the public library.

[Drawsing]

There appears to be direct sun on Kerry's face, but a softer light on Fonda's...and no evidence of direct sun in the background.

Thanks- adding now.

NEW JUST POSTED ARTICLE ON HANOI JOHN

Said U.S. Was Worst Geneva Convention Violator Kerry Testified of '200,000 a Year Who Are Murdered' By U.S. in Vietnam

Thanks for the link:

"On April 22, 1971, asked how a U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam would affect the South Vietnamese, a young John Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: "[Y]es, there will be some recrimination, but far, far less than the 200,000 a year who are murdered by the United States of America." (See page 190 of the attached transcript of his entire testimony)."

Kerry used the words "murdered by the United States of America." What a traitor.

Human Events did a good job bringing this new information to light from Kerry's 32 page testimony.

Please tell me that's a genuine photo and not a photoshopped pic. PleasePleasePlease!

If it's a fake, it's very good. It looks like the other side of a newspaper clip is bleeding through when the copy was made.

I'm hoping it's real, but there's one thing I just noticed. The "bleed through" text is upside down. If it were an actual newspaper clipping, the text would be rightside-up.

Well, there went my moment of magic and wonder...

SEPARATED AT BIRTH??????????????????

STATUES @ EASTER ISLAND

JOHN "EFFIN" KERRY

[floriduh voter]

I haven't read the thread yet but the VIETNAMESE AMERICANS ARE AGAINST KERRY. Received by email:

Dan Tran is president of the Vietnam Human Rights Project and a member of Vietnamese Americans Against John Kerry.

"John Kerry aided and abetted the communist government in Hanoi and has hindered any human rights progress in Vietnam," Tran said.

Said the new coalition in a statement: "In the Senate, Kerry blocked the Vietnam human rights (and religious freedom) bill on behalf of Hanoi, while the Vietnamese Communists continue to wage a war of repression against the non-Communist Vietnamese and a war of genocide against our former allies the Montagnard ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands of Vietnam."

BREAKING: Jane Fonda was on CNN around 4 Pm this afternoon defending John Kerry. But, earlier today, John Kerry's campaign was spinning that he did not know Jane Fonda. WORTH NOTING.

[floriduh voter]

Registered, a Kerry spokesperson said this morning on tv that "He did not know Jane Fonda." How can that be? They are blatant liars. Jane Fonda was on CNN this afternoon defending John Kerry. Put a fork in him and he brought this on himself.
