Image:Kerry Fonda 2004 election photo.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Description

During the 2004 presidential election campaign an image was released that appeared to show John Kerry and Jane Fonda speaking together at an anti-Vietnam war protest. The image was released to tarnish Kerry's war record by associating him with Jane Fonda a vilified anti-war protester. The image turned out to be a politically motivated forgery.

The image is actually a composite of two different images one of Kerry taken on June 13, 1971 at an anti-war rally in Mineola, N.Y. and another of Jane Fonda taken in August, 1972 speaking at a Miami Beach, Fla. rally
