"Fair and Balanced" Fox runs Kerry headline: "'Mr. Jane Fonda"
This is the teaser on the Fox front page:

'Mr. Jane Fonda'
Many Vietnamese-Americans abhor Kerry's anti-war activism
http://www.foxnews.com/

LOS ANGELES — The John Kerry (search) many Vietnamese-Americans remember is not the hero promoted by the Democratic Party, but the ex-soldier who returned to the United States to denounce the Vietnam War.

"His close association and anti-war activity make him known as Mr. Jane Fonda," said Frank Jao, who fought in the South Vietnamese army against the communist North.

Another reason Vietnamese-Americans criticize Kerry is that he has worked to block a bill forcing communist Vietnam to clean up its human rights abuses (search). The bill passed 410 to 1 in the House, but Kerry blocked it in the Senate. Kerry has claimed that the best way to improve abuses in Vietnam is to engage the communists, not punish them.

:grouphug:

NOTE: There is no truth to the rumor that Vietnamese-Americans approached by Fox regarding George Bush's Vietnam war record replied: "Absoultely fabulous. He stayed home, where it was safe and warm."

4. Better than the Mr "Kenny Boy" Enron who took up occupancy at
the White House to steal from the American People! Kerry went to Viet Nam and, therefore, has the right to do anything he wants with his medals.

5. John Kerry blocked a Senate bill all by himself? He must be good!
Fox is a joke.

7. No, Fox believes that Kerry can pass or block bills with a single vote
No congress, president, or other Senators required - Kerry can do it all himself!

8. There's so much junk on that page that I can't even find
the link you referenced.

It's just as well though. It's getting late.
