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."

Could be anyone... 'Course a person could just use a good old copy machine. ;) Did you check out the link with Ed Kennedy or was it too much of a pain?

Me.

If it's a fake, it's very good. Don't get compulsive. Use it....all's fair in love, war..... and politics.

If it's a fake, I have no intention of using it.

I call fake.

The image of John Kerry's head from the picture in question was used in an earlier photoshop by Registered. I'm pretty sure that if Registered had a photo of John Kerry on the same stage as Jane Fonda that was a clipping from a newspaper (as the photo in question seemed to be) he would have posted the entire photo a lot earlier.

In addition, Registered was not very forthcoming in answering whether the photo was a fake. He said, "I don't know" or something like that. He does know - he just didn't want to answer or thought it was funny or something.

Then he changed the photo at the link supplied to his previously posted photoshop.

Additionally, the sun is hitting John Kerry on his right side and Jane Fonda on her left side. My guess is that Jane Fonda was photoshopped into the original B/W picture and the headline and text was added to make it appear to be a legitimate scan of a newspaper clipping.

That would be fine if there had been some indication that the photo was fake. Simply having Registered's trademark on the pic would have done it for many.

I refuse to forward it to friends until I'm convinced it isn't a fake. Hope this can be cleared up.

Paging Registered. You've created a small controversy here. Please check in and clear this up.

Perhaps this thread should be merged with your thread... :-)

Look at the shadow the top half of the papers in "Kerry's" hand cast over the bottom half. That seems to make the light source to be to Kerry's left. Yet the sun is in Kerry's right eye

I say fake

[FairOpinion]

Absolutely. That is indeed the real cover of Kerry's book.

Kerry ran for election to the U.S. House in 1972 during which he found it necessary to suppress reproduction of the cover picture appearing on his own book, The New Soldier. His political opponent pointed out that it depicted several unkempt youths crudely handling an upside down American flag to mock the famous photo of the U.S. Marines at Iwo Jima.

Has Kerry released his military files yet?

Answer- yes he has. His service was heroic and admirable. He earned every metal and the right to condemn an illegal and immoral war (both Vietnam and Iraq- both drummed up for political gain and both sold to the American people with lies).

Kerry has released all of his military records- not just pay stubs and torn, poorly zeroxed forms. Real question is: how will Bush explain refusing his physical and being grounded. I've read several places at FR what a dangerous job it is to fly jets and how brave Bush was to do so- then why did he refuse his drug test and get himself grounded???

[FairOpinion]

Kerry enlisted, because the draft board turned down his request to go study in Paris instead, and when you volunteered, you got a choice, while if they drafted you, you didn't (as I understand).

This is the quote from the original interview with Kerry in the Harvard Crimson, 1970:

"When he approached his draft board for permission to study for a year in Paris, the draft board refused and Kerry decided to enlist in the Navy."

Then there is a question about why wasn't Kerry court-marshalled, when he refused a direct order from his superiors. (from same article)

"One time Kerry was ordered to destroy a Viet Cong village but disobeyed orders and suggested that the Navy Command simply send in a Psychological Warfare team to be friend the villagers with food, hospital supplies, and better educational facilities. "

((((((PING)))))

[FairOpinion]

A friend of Kerry, I think it was his ex-brother-in-law, who has known Kerry for a long time, is a Republican and is supporting Kerry said that Kerry did know Fonda, and "they worked together when their interests intersected" or words to that effect -- it was on H&C yesterday or the day before.

The Teresa worries about the Al Queda at Gitmo-unbelievable!!!Has anyone else noticed how roughly and coldly Ho Chi Kerry treats The Teresa, while on the stump? Last week, while he was celebrating victory on stage,she approached him for a hug and he almost pushed her off the stage,shoving her out of the way,so he could shake someone's hand.The Clintons had the sense to at least attempt a public show of affection, albeit phony.If President Bush had done that to Laura,it would have been front page news. I think the Kerry campaign has put Teresa in a Silence of the Lambs mask,so she can't speak.

By James Neal, Associated Press, 11/25/2003

SEATTLE -- The wife of Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry said yesterday that suspected terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay should be given prisoner of war status.

"They were captured while fighting a war," Teresa Heinz Kerry said at an informal discussion with minority activists in Seattle. "They should have the rights that other prisoners of war have had."

Heinz Kerry said that denying the detainees the protections of the Geneva Convention is "insulting, ignorant, and insensitive" to the rest of the world.

She added that under President Bush, the United States, once known as the standard-bearer for human rights, is now considered a hypocrite.

"The arrogance shown by this administration on human rights and in its foreign policy is horrible," she said.

Some 660 people suspected of taking part in terrorist activity are being held at the prison on the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Many were captured in Afghanistan and Pakistan two years ago in the war on terrorism and are believed to be members of Al Qaeda or the Taliban.

The Bush administration has said its top priority is interrogating the detainees for intelligence on any planned terrorist attacks. A spokeswoman for the Kerry campaign said Senator Kerry supports his wife's position that the detainees should be given basic protections such as the right to an attorney.

You know, you're right. LOL.

[Liz]

Nice find.......she's a wacko alright. That's why we should demand she make more speeches and issue frequent statements on her worldviews.

[Liz]

A real goodie for sure.

[forward]

Kerry can't say the word "idea" ( not that he'll have any), --- he says "I-DEE-ER"! Yep , he appeals to the south!

[mware]

Intelligence Oversight Act - Vote on passage of the Intelligence Oversight Act of 1988. The Act would greatly increase congressional involvement in intelligence activities and effectively end the ability of the President to conduct foreign covert operations.

Act passed 71-19, 3/15/88. ACU opposed the Act.

Kerry voted for this act
