Lefty Leftovers from Vietnam

John Kerry is probably glad he is not running for President. If he were, even the mainstream media would call attention to the character of his policy advisers.

Wade Sanders, a retired Navy Captain and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy, who served as a Swift Boat officer in Vietnam. Like Kerry, Sanders was the recipient of a Silver Star for gallantry in action.

During the 2004 campaign, Sanders functioned as Kerry lead attack dog against the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, has had his Silver Star Award revoked by the U. S. Navy. Apparently the revocation is unrelated to his being imprisoned for 37-months on child pornography charges.

Rather a report in the Navy Times says the highly unusual decision appears unrelated to Sanders’ felony conviction but, a Navy spokesman cited “subsequently determined facts and evidence surrounding both the incident for which the award was made and the processing of the award itself.” In other words somebody lied.

Another one of his ideological buddies Hanoi Jane Fonda, 74, has also been humbled. John Kerry has to be hoping this doesn’t become a bigger rend.

Recently, the home shopping channel QVC canceled a scheduled appearance by the Septuagenarian actress was supposed to discuss her latest book, “Prime Time.” She is shocked and angry that QVC disinvited her because of mounting public opposition. Fonda disgraced herself by her treasonous consorting with the North Vietnamese Army as it was killing Americans, and QVC viewers spontaneously raising hell when she was scheduled to promote her book.

“The network said they got a lot of calls,” Ms. Fonda wrote on her personal blog, “criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear.” She added: “I am, to say the least, deeply disappointed that QVC caved to this kind of insane pressure by some well-funded and organized political extremist groups.”

QVC is right. In fact, they should never have invited her in the first place. Ms. Fonda did more than oppose the Vietnam War: She actively aided and abetted the enemy.

Like many in the anti-war ’60s left, she was a traitor who openly supported the North Vietnamese communists. For years, Ms. Fonda has sought to cynically and mendaciously obfuscate her moral culpability.

Today fortunately, those who do not support the Bush and Obama wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Libya, choose to support our troops, instead of the enemy.
