Default OT GOP Smear tactics

Kerry had *every* right to protest the war, as loudly as he wanted.
One could even argue that as a Vet he had "more right" to than others. Be
that as it may.

What will matter is how close he snuggled up to to Hanoi Jane in the course
of his protest activities. She wasn't a protester, she was almost (or
probably) a traitor. I havn't seen any compelling evidence he got close
enough to her (politicly) to have her stink rub off on him.

I see no mention of Kerry in the article mentioned. He was out of Naum
before Jane arrived (which you would have known had you read the article
posted)


Duh, research his antiwar activities. I'm not going to spoonfeed you
this stuff.

Not really, Kerry is a traitor.

Kerry's pal Hanoi Jane Fonda calling American POWS "liars &
hypocrites"

http://www.snopes.com/military/fonda.htm

"To add insult to injury, when American POWs finally began to return
home (some of them having been held captive for up to nine years) and
describe the tortures they had endured at the hands of the North
Vietnamese, Jane Fonda quickly told the country that they should "not
hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars." Fonda
said the idea that the POWs she had met in Vietnam had been tortured
was "laughable," claiming: "These were not men who had been tortured.
These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had
been brainwashed." The POWs who said they had been tortured were
"exaggerating, probably for their own self-interest," she asserted.
She told audiences that "Never in the history of the United States
have POWs come home looking like football players. These football
players are no more heroes than Custer was. They're military
careerists and professional killers" who are "trying to make
themselves look self-righteous, but they are war criminals according
to law."

When will the press ask Kerry if he agrees with his friend Hanoi Jane
Fonda when she called American POWs - "liars & hypocrites?"
