Jane went to Vietnam to end the senseless killing. She embraced that dear, sweet, little, old man with that darling goatee. What was his name? Hop Sing? No! It was Ho Chi Minh! They named a city after him! He was the George Washington of Vietnam -- just like Daniel Ortega would have been the George Washington of Nicaragua if the Reagan fascists hadn't duped Jimmy Carter into forcing elections on those poor Nicaraguans. Ed Asner told me that. I miss Ed…I really do. If it hadn't been for Jane our prisoners of war in Vietnam would have been mistreated...

Jane Fonda is to be pitied Special to The Augusta Free Press The only anti-Vietnam War protester that can tick off a Vietnam veteran more than John Kerry is Jane Fonda. In her interview by Leslie Stahl on CBS' "60 Minutes" Sunday, April 3, Jane Fonda characterized such reactions to her as "ill-placed anger." In one respect, she may be correct. It may be "ill-placed anger" neither because her anti-Vietnam War activities deserve praise nor because she makes an exceedingly partial recantation now. It may be "ill-placed anger" simply because of her current irrelevance and because of our moral compunction...

"How can you expect our sons and daughters to follow you, when you condemned their fathers and grandfathers?" – America’s most-decorated living veteran George “Bud” Day, regarding John Kerry.   This is an email-able, copyright-ready graphic you can use in emails, on blogs, in flyers, on posters... anything that's noncommercial.

The Labor Department reported this morning that the U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 5.4% in August, down from 5.5% in July, and that our economy created 144,000 new jobs in August. July job creation was revised upward to 73,000 from the 32,000 initially reported. 78,000 new jobs were added in June. Looks like the July numbers were a blip and we’re getting back to the torrid pace of job creation of May (248,000), April (346,000), and March (353,000). After President Bush’s stirring speech last night and the good economic news, just how will Senator Franken-Kerry put a negative spin on...

Will John Kerry issue in an age of a “stronger America” as his campaign bumper stickers state? I have found quite the contrary, and have provided documentation. In the mid 1960’s he tried to avoid military service for 12 months so he could continue his studies in Paris, according to Britain’s Telegraph. [1] Then he served 4 ½ months in Vietnam. Though he claimed a Purple Heart for his first “injury,” his own diary for that day states, “we hadn't been shot at yet.” [2] According to the Military Order of the Purple Heart, you have to be wounded to...

Bob Dole Slams Kerry By Andrew L. Jaffee, August 23, 2004 Home   Search   Forum   Terms Nothing has really changed for Democratic hopeful John Kerry, except that real war veterans, like Bob Dole, are questioning the “superficial wounds” and resulting “medals” he received during four (4) months service in Vietnam. Kerry is still flailing, trying to cover up a career punctuated by extreme left-wing politics and flip-flopping by talking to voters about his military service. He squandered his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention by trying to convince Americans that his tour of duty in Vietnam will make him a great commander...

Kerry's bio is a bomb   Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry wants us to look at 4 months of his bio and judge him as a strong, capable, honest, trustworthy leader. What about the rest of John Kerry's bio? What about the 17 months after he returned from Vietnam? Months spent with folks like Hanoi Jane Fonda, Scott "The Assassin" Camil? Time spent at the Kansas City meeting of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, where they discussed assassinating U.S. Senators? It was called "The Phoenix Project", after a military op in Vietnam. Here's what Scott Camil, the instigator of...

Kerry won Vietnam vets' wrath describing what he couldn't see BY HAROLD W. ANDERSEN Published Sunday, August 22, 2004 WORLD-HERALD CONTRIBUTING EDITOR It is one of the bigger gambles of the presidential campaign. But with most of the news media looking the other way, John Kerry has been getting away with it so far. I refer to Kerry's gamble that the news media won't finally take a hard look at his anti-war activities instead of concentrating on his four-plus months of combat-zone experience as a decorated, wounded veteran of the Vietnam War - experience that Kerry incessantly promotes as qualifying...

The state Board of Prison Terms has scheduled a Sept. 7 hearing to determine whether the 14-year prison sentence Sara Jane Olson received nearly two years ago should be changed. Olson, a former Symbionese Liberation Army follower once known as Kathleen Soliah, had been sentenced to 14 years after plea deals in Los Angeles for attempting to bomb two Los Angeles police cars and for her participation in a Carmichael bank robbery that killed Myrna Opsahl. Those cases had remained dormant for more than two decades while she was a fugitive living in St. Paul, Minn. After her 1999 capture...

I have one question to ask which has been kind of bugging me. Where is Jane Wyman? I know she was Ronald Reagan's first wife and IIRC, she is the mother to Maureen and Michael (adopted) but I haven't seen hide nor hair of Jane Wyman. Is she going to any of the funeral speeches?

John Kerry and Jane Fonda political cartoon.June 2, 2004...Sen. Flip-Flop: here he goes again!By Roger Wm. Hughes If America thought John Kerry was Senator Flip-Flop on the issues, America has become even more amazed as Kerry tries to communicate who and what he is about. First, Kerry was "a better set of choices." Then in typical Kerry style, he changed to be "a better set of choices.” In September of 2003, he discovered the "courage to do what’s right for America." However, somehow that wasn’t "the real deal." So, he became “the real deal.” Kerry then told America to...

Actresses Jane Fonda and Marisa Tomei marked International Women's Day by staging a performance of The Vagina Monologues in India. The show was set up by the V-Day Foundation, a charity run by Monologues author Eve Ensler which raises awareness of violence against women. Indian and Pakistani actresses joined the show in Bombay, also called Mumbai. "Violence comes in many forms and affects women all over the world," Fonda said after the performance. Fonda, 66, said she had had to take a back seat in each of her three marriages. "Behind the closed doors of my marriage, I would...

Fonda leads contributors to political groups with $13 million PETE YOST Associated Press WASHINGTON - Atlanta-based actress and political activist Jane Fonda was the largest individual contributor to a political fund-raising group in the last three years, donating $13.1 million to pro-choice causes, a new study shows. Political fund-raising groups known as 527s have spent more than $400 million in the past three years, and Democrats are relying more heavily on their support than Republicans, according to the study by the Center for Public Integrity. Fonda's Atlanta spokesman did not respond to calls seeking comment from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. But...

United States authorities said today they had suspended a US immigration judge after a newspaper reported he referred to himself as Tarzan during court proceedings for an African political asylum seeker named Jane. The Boston Herald reported that at the start of the proceedings in June, US Immigration Judge Thomas Ragno told the woman: "Jane, come here. Me Tarzan." Ragno, who presides over an immigration court in Boston, then "laughed and talked about how funny the Tarzan cartoons were", the Herald said, quoting an affidavit signed by Jane's doctor. The Executive Office for Immigration Review, a division of the US...

Cannabis poses a greater threat to health than tobacco, lung experts have warned. The warning comes on the day that Home Secretary David Blunkett is due to make a Commons statement about the future of government drug policy. Many young people are simply not aware that smoking cannabis may put them at increased risk of respiratory cancers and infections . Dame Helena Shovelton: The Home Affairs Select Committee has recommended that cannabis is downgraded from a class B drug to class C. This would mean that possession would lead to a caution, rather than arrest. The British Lung Foundation is...
