Matthews: Kerry Has 'Hanoi Jane' Problem

<font size=4>MSNBC "Hardball" host and longtime Democrat Chris Matthews said Tuesday that a photo showing Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry protesting the Vietnam war with <font color=blue>"Hanoi"<font color=black> Jane Fonda is a real problem for his party's top candidate.

While offering sharp criticism of President Bush for not serving in Vietnam, Matthews told radio host Don Imus Tuesday morning: <font color=blue>"You've got the Jane Fonda problem on the other side. The thing with her is, she was on the other side - she was on Hanoi's side during that war."

"And I'll tell you,"<font color=black> Matthews continued, <font color=blue>"everybody I knew, including me, who was against the war - I wouldn't have anything to do with a person who supported Hanoi."<font color=black>

Kerry, then head of the radical anti-war group Vietnam Veterans Against the War, worked closely with Fonda on two war protests: a September 1970 rally in Valley Forge, Pa., where Fonda and Kerry spoke from the back of the same pickup truck, and a January 1971 protest they called the "Winter Solider Investigation," where fabricated testimony of U.S. war atrocities was presented.

Asked about the NewsMax.com photo showing Sen. Kerry protesting the war with <font color=blue>"Hanoi"<font color=black> Jane at Valley Forge, Matthews observed, <font color=blue>"That will be in the Republican [campaign] ads." <font color=black>
