Sen. Allen: Kennedy Outburst 'Worse Than Hanoi Jane'

Sen. George Allen, R-Va., blasted his colleague Sen. Ted Kennedy on Wednesday for calling the Iraq war "George Bush's Vietnam," saying that the outburst was worse than Jane Fonda's trip to Hanoi in 1972.

"I think it's even worse than Hanoi Jane," Allen told radio host Laura Ingraham, who had compared Kennedy's comments to visits to North Vietnam by Fonda and Ramsey Clark during the height of the war.

Allen explained that while Fonda was just an actress, Kennedy is an elected U.S. official whose name is known worldwide.

"It's harmful to our troops, it's harmful to our efforts and I think it's also harmful to us trying to get other countries to pitch in," the Virginia Republican told Ingraham.

"As a U.S. senator, Ted Kennedy should know better and understand the impact of his words," Allen said in a Tuesday Senate speech. "His outrageous, partisan remarks are harmful, not only to our courageous soldiers serving abroad, but also to their families who are praying for their safety in treacherous conditions."

Allen advised Ingraham, "You've got to play bump and run with the likes of Ted Kennedy. You just can't let them keep making these assertions without correcting them or taking them to task."

Delay and Allen are both speaking out against Kennedy. If you haven't already, call your Senators!

Yes, Teddy Kennedy is the modern Hanoi Jane. I just hope he doesn't get a tight leotard and try to demonstrate how to exercise. I do not want to see Jabba the Hut in skimpies.

DeLay: Carter Comments Part of Dangerous Pattern; Dem Leaders' Rhetoric Undermining Troops

THANK YOU - because of (then) Senator Kennedy and (now) Senator Kerry, the Vietnam war was longer and more deadly. Because of their outspoken criticism and blatant comfort to the enemy, American soldiers died in Vietnam.

The same thing is happening again, with the same two men, but it is happening in Iraq this time. They are the reason four Americans were publicly burned, in an attempt to change public opinion. They are the reason Sadr gained the confidence to attack, at a time of perceived weakness. Senator Kennedy and Senator Kerry have the blood of American soldiers on their hands - three decades worth of blood.

Kennedy and Kerry are accountable for the murder of American citizens and soldiers.

Ted is a useless lump of dirt!

Those that voted Ted Kennedy into office are responsible for his being in office.

Personally, I'd disinherit any relative that voted for a Ted Kennedy trash type.

[MrB]

you should say "you are automatic"

[rbmillerjr]

It's about time some of the Washington pansies start coming to the aid of Bush - the liberal clang is getting louder.

You know what they say "a lie unchallenged is the truth".

[votelife]

what if your sister would? mine would? She'd vote for Hillary over W.

[Hodar]

That video of Jane's was an excercise video? oh .... rrriiiiggghhhhtttt......

She may be a flaming liberal; but for her age, that leotard looks darn good. Wonder where she bought it?

[votelife]

I hope Kennedy's comments are plastered all over the South to help the GOP senators.

[auggy]

How could the people of Mass. vote for this guy everytime?

I am from Indiana & Kentucky, I can't imagine living in a state so liberal. The conservatives there must feel they are all alone.
