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."

Maybe this has been posted already, but haven't checked the whole thread. I put this on another thread too, but wanted to make sure others know this:

Just to put things in perspective, John McCain was one of the prisoners at the Hanoi Hilton, when Hanoi Jane came through town:

"A few days after she turned on the American heroes, Fonda actually sought a meeting with McCain, then the ranking officer at the Hanoi Hilton prison camp. He refused, reports Alexander."

John Kerry's war record

As Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, considers a bid for the White House, Americans should know a few things about him that he might prefer go unmentioned — and I don't mean his $75 haircuts.

When Mr. Kerry pontificated at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Veterans Day, a group of veterans turned their backs on him and walked away. They remembered Mr. Kerry as the anti-war activist who testified before Congress during the war, accusing veterans of being war criminals. The dust jacket of Mr. Kerry's pro-Hanoi book, "The New Soldier," features a photograph of his ragged band of radicals mocking the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial, which depicts the flag-raising on Iwo Jima, with an upside-down American flag.

Retired Gen. George S. Patton III charged that Mr. Kerry's actions as an anti-war activist had "given aid and comfort to the enemy," as had the actions of Ramsey Clark and Jane Fonda. Also, Mr. Kerry lied when he threw what he claimed were his war medals over the White House fence; he later admitted they weren't his. Now they are displayed on his office wall.

Long after he changed sides in congressional hearings, Mr. Kerry lobbied for renewed trade relations with Hanoi. At the same time, his cousin C. Stewart Forbes, chief executive for Colliers International, assisted in brokering a $905 million deal to develop a deep-sea port at Vung Tau, Vietnam — an odd coincidence.

As noted in the Inside Politics column of Nov. 14 (Nation), historian Douglas Brinkley is writing Mr. Kerry's biography. Hopefully, he'll include the senator's latest ignominious feat: preventing the Vietnam Human Rights Act (HR2833) from coming to a vote in the Senate, claiming human rights would deteriorate as a result. His actions sent a clear signal to Hanoi that Congress cares little about the human rights for which so many Americans fought and died.

The State Department ranked Vietnam among the 10 regimes worldwide least tolerant of religious freedom. Recently, 354 churches of the Montagnards, a Christian ethnic minority, were forcibly disbanded, and by mid-October, more than 50 Christian pastors and elders had been arrested in Dak Lak province alone. On Oct. 29, the secret police executed three Montagnards by lethal injection simply for protesting religious repression. The communists are conducting a pogrom against the Montagnards, forcing Christians to drink a mixture of goat's blood and alcohol and renounce Christianity.

Thousands have been killed or imprisoned or have just "disappeared." The Montagnards lost one-half of their adult male population fighting for the United States, and without them, there might be thousands more American names on that somber black granite wall at the Vietnam memorial.

As Mr. Kerry contemplates a run for the presidency, people must remember that he has fought harder for Hanoi as an anti-war activist and a senator than he did against the Vietnamese communists while serving in the Navy in Vietnam.

Should create a website called the Kerry Dossier with all this info (especially if the Dem hackers try to attack FR).

"I went to the microfilm archives in my law school library today and read through Kerry's entire 1971 testimony of April 22, 1971... "

Human Events did a good job bringing new information to light from Kerry's 32 page testimony in the link below:

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

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1076182/posts


"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."

Nice idea but more protection on FR with its 24/7 scrutiny. Separate stand-alone web site would be vulnerable.

KERRY FIGHTS OFF MEDIA PROBE OF RECENT ALLEGED INFIDELITY, RIVALS PREDICT RUIN


Drudge Report | 2/12/2004 | MATT DRUDGE


FR Posted on 02/12/2004 9:02:31 AM PST by kellynla


A frantic behind-the-scenes drama is unfolding around Sen. John Kerry and his quest to lockup the Democratic nomination for president, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

Intrigue surrounds a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

A serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.

MORE

A close friend of the woman first approached a reporter late last year claiming fantastic stories -- stories that now threaten to turn the race for the presidency on its head!

In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." [Three reporters in attendance confirm Clark made the startling comments.]

The Kerry commotion is why Howard Dean has turned increasingly aggressive against Kerry in recent days, and is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision not to drop out of the race after Wisconsin, top campaign sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

John Kerry being arrested by the police..

I think this is incorrect, but until someone (like FR et al maybe) get beaten over the head in the press for posting 'made up photos' this picture will continue to get 'play' -

- don't you see something wrong with both that subject's nose and hair in that picture?

Probably not, so, I hereby officially disassociate myself from ANY contention that that is Kerry 'being arrested'.

Boton Globe to proble Kerry private affairs

John Kerry appeared at some (one?) events with Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland. Some of Jane and Don's Vietnam rallies got released in 1972 as a movie titled FTA (F*** The Army).

There are soldiers (and perhaps those who just claimed to be soldiers) in this film. It was supressed 1 week after AIP released it (reportedly because the Hanoi Jane story broke).

It have never been rereleased but there are bootlegs on the internet (which possibly are legal under fair use educational provisions of the First Ammendment). I've even discovered that this film exists on DVD-R.

I have not seen this film but do hold some suspicions that John Kerry could appear in it. Others might find a photo of John and Jane together in ways that would contradict her statement that she never shook hands with him.

BTW, John and Jane may never have had in depth conversations together but that never stopped the Kerry campaign from releasing a photo of John Kerry in a crowd near John Lennon.

[Liz]

We need to look at that film up close.

[mware]

Also an Ollie North attack. Apparently no love lost between North and Kerry.

Ya think????

Ollie North Pension - Vote on a Helms (R-NC) bill to overturn a legal ruling which would deprive Lt. Cot. Oliver North of his Marine Corps retirement pay. Bill passed 78-17, 11/2/89.

ACU supported the bill.

Kerry votes against this bill.

Yeap, Kerry looks out for his brothers in the military!!!!!.
