Famed American anti-war activist Tom Hayden has died aged 76.

Hayden died in his home in Santa Monica "after a lengthy illness", the Los Angeles Times reports.

I recommend everyone read David Horowitz’s classic autobiography “Radical Son” in which he gives Hayden’s terrorist activities including a commune called “The Red Family.” This guy was one bad dude. According to Fonda, probably not a totally honest observer, she was set up by Hayden to go to N. Vietnam, refusing, out of cowardice, to go himself. I don’t really doubt that.

The photo the commie-supporting VVAW describe below, I now recall cannot be posted here due to copyright protection. But it was in addition to the other photo I posted above with the two of them on stage together. VVAW concedes the pair spoke at a rally together.

From the communist North Vietnamese-supporting "Vietnam Veterans Against the War" website:

Was John Kerry photographed with Jane Fonda?

Both John Kerry and Jane Fonda spoke at a VVAW rally in 1970 at Valley Forge, PA. (Brinkley, 344-345; Nicosia, 68-70).

There is an alleged photograph of Fonda and Kerry listening to other speakers at that rally. Kerry is seen several rows back in the bleachers from Fonda.

The photo was reportedly purchased by Ted Sampley for $179 from an anonymous source.

One enemy of freedom down.

He is now realizing that for his entire life, backed the wrong side.

Too bad?? Rest in Peace??

[Ancesthntr]

As a human being, I am sad that he no longer has the opportunity to repent of his evil thoughts and deeds.

However, as a patriotic American, let’s just say that I will not be wasting any time mourning his passing.

No comment.

Best news so far today. (Too harsh?)

So long Tom, it is grand to see the back of you. Enjoy the warmer climes for which you are destined.

John Kerry, from his book, The New Soldier

"We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small [American] flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the 'greater glory of the United States.'..."

"The John Kerry quote comes in the epilogue to "The New Soldier," the book put out by Vietnam Veterans Against the War [VVAW]. The book's cover features a group of not-particularly sober-looking anti-war protesters (vets, presumably) flying the American flag upside down [while mocking the historic flag raising event at Iwo Jima]":

Note John Kerry's name at top right of The New Soldier

"We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small (American) flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the 'greater glory of the United States.' "

So John Kerry would have a difficult time marching with those waving small American flags yet had NO problems marching with those waving HUGE North Vietnamese and Vietcong flags???

"Pictured above: VVAW-supported demonstration during the Washington Spring Offensive, April - May 1971. Notice the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong flags."

Good news to start a monday with.Thanks

How in hell could someone NOT remember if they were at a meeting where a plot to assassinate US senators was discussed?? (see final paragraph of the 2nd excerpt). And wouldn't it be a CRIME not to report it?

The Vietnam Veterans Against the War Assassination Plot --was John Kerry at the meeting or not?(my title)

"Mr. Kerry denies being present at the November 12-15, 1971, meeting in Kansas City of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and says he quit the group before the meeting. But according to the current head of Missouri Veterans for Kerry, Randy Barnes, Mr. Kerry, who was then 27, was at the meeting, voted against the plot, and then orally resigned from the organization.

Mr. Barnes was present as part of the Kansas City host chapter for the 1971 meeting and recounted the incident in a phone interview with The New York Sun this week.

In addition to Mr. Barnes’s recollection placing Mr. Kerry at the Kansas City meeting, another Vietnam veteran who attended the meeting, Terry Du-Bose, said that Mr. Kerry was there.

There are at least two other independent corroborations that the 'antiwar' group Vietnam Veterans Against the War, of which Mr. Kerry was the most prominent national spokesman, considered assassinating American political leaders who favored [winning] the war."

______________________________________

"Kerry has long been portrayed as not being at the Kansas City, Mo., meeting because Kerry recalled quitting the organization at an acrimonious July 1971 session, four months before the November meeting at which the assassination plot was discussed.

But last week, the Kerry campaign seemed to leave open the possibility that he had attended the November session, after historian Gerald Nicosia said he had found an FBI document that he said indicated that Kerry was there.

As a result of Nicosia's assertion, Kerry's campaign said in a statement that while Kerry did not remember being at the meeting, 'If there are valid FBI surveillance reports from credible sources that place some of those disagreements in Kansas City, we accept that historical footnote in the account of his work to end the difficult and divisive war.'..."

Hayden was akin to sand in America’s gears. I have no other comment except that I hope made peace with God before his death.

"The co-founder of the radical anti-war group Code Pink [Jodie Evans] has “bundled” more than $50,000 for Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, and pro-troops groups are demanding that he return the money."

Amazing, she said this in 1971. Yet there she was making great sums of money in the movies.

Then went on to do the Fonda workout routine and made multi-millions doing that.

In addition she hooks up with Ted Turner who gave her $25 Million as a wedding present.

What a DAMN Mendacious Hypocrite, she will get her pile but the rest of us have suffer.

Obama will name the next Navy ship after him.

I thought this one was pretty funny, too — her talking about PRAYING for atheistic Communism. One might “pray” to get there, but, rest assured, it would be the last time they prayed, at least openly.

“I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist,”—Jane Fonda
