<\/a>Oregonian Letters to the Editor<\/a>. This is a stupid<\/b> letter:<\/p>\n


\nWhich is the real John Kerry? <\/p>\n

02\/14\/04<\/p>\n

I need help trying to figure out Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and his feelings about the Vietnam War. <\/p>\n

Sometimes he wants to be seen as a Vietnam War hero, and at other times he wants to be known as a Vietnam War protester. <\/p>\n

Currently he wants to be known as a hero, but years ago as a protester, he threw medals over a White House fence during a protest march. He also wanted to be seen and known as a protester when he sat with the traitor Jane Fonda at a Vietnam War protest function. <\/p>\n

It appears he is one of the politicians who watch the polls to decide what is most beneficial for him at a particular time. <\/p>\n

#1: “Vietnam Hero” and “Vietnam Protester” are not mutually exclusive.<\/p>\n

#2: His connection to Jane Fonda?: Sitting in the same crowd. More or less it. More importantly, he distanced himself from them. After all, HE HAD A CAREER IN POLITICS THAT HE WANTED TO PURSUE.<\/i><\/p>\n

#3: Let’s play a little game, courtesy of the folks at Snopes.
\nThie photograph is real:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This photograph, floating around cyberspace for the miscreants to foam at, is fake:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And this photograph may possibly be the only photograph which includes both Jane Fonda and John Kerry in the same shot:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

John Kerry is sitting there, 3 or so rows behind Jane Fonda. Drift your eyes to the bearded dude, and compare him to the style of John Kerry. Recall the movie Forrest Gump<\/u>. There was a reason Gump was cut to the top of the line to speak.<\/p>\n

#4: Fascinating thing, though. A google search pairing the words Fonda and Kerry will bring up any number of items of fascination:<\/p>\n

The great lesson of Vietnam being that we could’ve “won” had we just clamped down hard enough on those unruly kids. Of course.<\/p>\n

Burrow over to Rush Limbaugh’s site. I didn’t stay long enough to complete my mission of figuring out whether or not Limbaugh has the fake photograph on his site. But, I did notice the line “Do we really want to go back to the 60s?”<\/p>\n

Which has me scratching my head, wondering what the hell he is talking about, and pondering, even if the culture is shifting toward whatever items of the 60s [one-dimesnional thinking that] that he’s railing against (that is late 60s\/ early 70s), whether or not it would matter one iota whether the modern day equivalent of a Lyndon B Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, or Dick Nixon is sitting in the White House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
