Hanoi John

So Rush Limbaugh is sharing a picture of a 1970 peace rally attended by both John Kerry and Jane Fonda.

The hatred of Jane Fonda is something I don't grok. It seems like old news. And she was protesting a U.S. policy in Southeast Asia that was, to the best of my understanding, completely fucked up. Then again, I remember nothing of the Vietnam War years in which I was alive (I was not alive in 1970), and I do understand that many people found her actions hurtful. Still, Rush's using painful memories of Jane Fonda to smear Kerry is, well, typical.

If you're going to hold something against Jane Fonda, why not Agnes of God?
