The Return of Hanoi Jane

Or, Let's Defeat the Good Guys: The Sequel

Tens of thousands of peace advocates from across the country are expected in Washington on Saturday for an anti-war rally that could be among the biggest since the war in Iraq began, organizers said yesterday.

One thing about being a leftist Democrat is that you never have to say you're sorry.

Actually, we think Jane Fonda may have mumbled an apology some years ago for committing treason and actively promoting the death of American soldiers in the Vietnam War by giving aid and comfort to Ho Chi Minh and Company. But hey, that was then, and it probably preceded a film release.

Alas, like most leftist Boomer scum who are joining the defeatist bandwagon, it looks like Jane, apology or no, has decided to use the Iraqi moment of the Global War on Terror to reprise of her disgusting Vietnam-era antics this weekend in Washington, DC. Now in her 60s, perhaps she's just looking for some cheap publicity. Or to be "meaningful and relevant" again! (She sure doesn't need the money.)

What a great Last Hurrah! With a few tokes of Acapulco Gold and a flower behind her ear, she can imagine she's emerged from Barbarella's spaceship into a time-warp where she can transform into a rich hippie just one last time, righteously trashing Chimpy BushMcHitler on the Mall just the way she once dissed LBJ and Tricky Dick. (BTW, did you ever notice how leftists are always pissed?)

In any event, it looks like Hanoi Jane and her equally unattractive comrade-in-arms, the brainless Susan Sarandon, plan to feature themselves as twin commie harpies this weekend when they join the Castroites of the socalled "United for Peace and Justice," which also happens to be virulently anti-Israel. (Who could have guessed?) Who are these "progressives"? Let's take a look:

United for Peace and Justice describes itself as a coalition of 1,400 local and national organizations. Among them are the National Organization for Women, United Church of Christ, the American Friends Service Committee, True Majority, Military Families Speak Out, Iraq Veterans Against the War, the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, CodePink, MoveOn.org, and September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows.

Check out the links we've added to the Washington Post article we're excerpting here. The bulk of the organizations on this list are either communist fronts or certifiable morons like the "September 11th Families" who still think, like the hapless Clintonistas, that terrorists will respect the rule of law if they're tried in a courtroom—a notion emphatically disproven by the antics of Zacharias Moussaoui. The United Church of Christ hierarchy, of course, has given aid and comfort to the hard left for years.

But let's get back to Jane and her little friends, shall we?

Among the featured speakers will be Vietnam War-era protester Jane Fonda, according to the organizers. Others include actors Danny Glover, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, and Carlos Arredondo, who in 2004 set himself on fire after learning of the death in Iraq of his Marine Corps son, Alexander.

All predictable except perhaps for Arredondo, a somewhat naive former illegal immigrant whose stunt surely attracted him to this coalition, which saw they could use him as an "authentic" grieving father, the male counterpart of the odious Mother Sheehan. Both their brave sons would, of course, be disgusted by this spectacle.

As to the rest. Robbins and Glover are well-known Amerikkka-hating socialists. And Jesse. Well, he probably hasn't been getting enough face-time on TV lately, and, well, you know how he hates that.

Mr. and Mrs. Wonker plan to be away in the West Virginia mountains on Saturday, hanging out with patriotic Americans, so it looks like we'll miss the spectacle. You should, too.
