"A photograph showing Kerry and actress and anti-war activist Jane Fonda taken at a 1970 anti-war rally in Pennsylvania surfaced on a conservative Web site on Monday. It spread across the Internet and showed up on the front page of the Washington Times on Wednesday. TV networks quickly picked up the story.

The newspaper quoted two Republican congressmen, Randy Cunningham of California and Texas' Sam Johnson, both of whom served in the war, as saying the image would diminish Kerry's appeal to Vietnam veterans. Johnson said it made him sick.

The picture shows Fonda listening intently at the rally. Three rows behind her is a fuzzy but recognizable image of Kerry, who also spoke at the demonstration."

Erm, I found nothing wrong with the picture. So let it be known that NOT everyone is offended or disgusted with seeing Kerry in a picture alongside the likes of other war protesters. Damn conservatives. And hell! If you want to lable Kerry as a Liberal then fine! By all means it's better than being an extreme conservative. It's not doing this country good by sticking to stagnant, backwards, good ole boys mentality.

Edit: ... and oh yeah, BRING IT ON!
