Jane Fonda, the actress and ardent anti-Vietnam War advocate who visited North Vietnam during those hostilities, has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president.
There were no formal ceremonies for the endorsement. In fact, the Obama campaign may just be learning about the actress's approval now as word spreads like lit gunpowder via the Internet.
...a video camera was rolling as she approached the street and someone, perhaps just trying to get her to turn around for a picture, shouted out at her back, "Who are you going to vote for?"
There was a moment of silence. Then, the actress did turn around toward the cameras, paused and with a smile said simply, "Obama!" Then she got into a car and drove away.
The problem for those of a certain generation that endured the Vietnam War and the sometimes violent domestic conflict that accompanied it at home is that during Fonda's controversial wartime visit to North Vietnam, she was photographed at a Communist anti-aircraft gun battery.
As it happens, the Republican presidential candidate this time is Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who was one of those American fliers shot down over that same city by those same anti-aircraft forces, tortured and spent nearly six years in a POW cell while Fonda returned home.

Explain to me how this makes McCain more of a Conservative?
We are to elect Commander in Chief, not Conservative in Chief.
While we all would love a real conservative for this post, our choices this time are either McCain or Hillobama. Pick your choice. That’s reality.
Of course , Jane Fonda, the traitor to America, will vote for Barack Obama! Did anyone ever have any doubts about this?
It doesn't. Getting punched in the face is better than being stabbed or shot. It is just hard for some to understand that there are those who won't accept either of the three.
Our election choices are equivalent of selecting botulism, salmonella or e.coli with your meal.
You’re going to get deathly sick no matter what.
I like your tagline, ditto for me FRiend.
Maybe he is not the perfect “conservative” in your fantasy. but BTW who are you yourself?A perfect conservative with a perfect judgement,a smart wise intelligent person seeing what’s good for your country?
If you have some questions on McCain you might find answers...
But there are no more questions about OBAMA...All the sensible people now perfectly know who he is and where he could lead USA.
Unless you are an OBAMANIAC...
For that matter, I'm starting to wonder if either (sic) of the three will actually be on the ballot in November(?)
With good reason.
Right Barrack!
And how is Hugo(i mean CHAVEZ)?
lol...all too true. Someone here once said “When you choose the lesser of two evils, you’re still choosing evil.”
What is the impetus for wondering such a thing? McCain will be on the ballot, along with one of the other Democrats. I am not sure exactly what one would protest? The gullibility, shallowness and ignorance of the American electorate? That ship sailed long ago and is lost at sea.
Add another radical to the list of Obama cult worshippers.
We have Fonda, Farrakhan, Wright, Olbermann, Ted Kennedy, etc.

So Obama has the old, rode-hard-and-put-up-web bimbo vote locked up? Pardon me as I *don’t* cry a river.
Does anyone really care whom Hanoi Jane will vote for?
