Don King was convicted of manslaughter and is suspected of having underworld ties. Jane Fonda sat in an enemy tank and laughed with the folks who were slaughtering our boys in Vietnam. Don King has been sued by 7 of the boxers he represented. Jane Fonda is hated by veterans and other Americans.Has Don King turned his life around? I can't be sure. All I know are the rumors and how he presents himself. The worst you can say about him now is that he is heavy-handed with his boxers, and perhaps gives them a raw deal. On the other hand, he is a great promoter, and his boxers get top billing and publicity. Anyone who signs with King needs to be careful of the dotted lines. Yet, they will be seen. They will get their golden opportunities.
Has Jane Fonda turned her life around? She has apologized, if half-heartedly. She won't be sitting in Al-Queda tanks (if there were such a thing), that's for sure. She went on to a distinguished career in film.In the end, though, I believe that Don King is the better person. My reasons are that he is unabashedly patriotic, waving those flags, proclaiming, "America is the best!" Plus, he is a Bush supporter, and a proponent of the Iraq war.
Jane Fonda won't be encouraging enemy soldiers to kill our boys anymore, but she continues to hate America. She demonizes any president who has the gall to defend our country. She is still a leftist, socialist, ungrateful limousine liberal.
Give me Don King any day.

Right back at you!
As much as I want to tell you how WRONG I think you are, there are some things I have to agree with. I especially dig the top 10's for both political viewpoints (are we that dumb in this country that we can only manage two?)and the point about African Americans not valuing education. As an African American teacher I see it everyday. I have you permanently bookmarked and look forward to reading (and disagreeing) in the future.
paz y amor, thank you for your comments. I guess you're my first vocal critic. I'm glad you liked the top 10's. I'm sorry that I am right about the African American students (some of them anyway). I appreciate that you are striving to make a difference. I suppose I will be right about some things, and wrong about others. I just don't want to hold back on what I think and feel, as I believe that political correctness is not the way to go. I look forward to your opinions. I'm sure, by the way you talk, I'll be disagreeing with you too. I've seen your site, and I like it. I'm returning your favor by permanently linking to you also.
Well this was an interesting comparison! I loved the article.
I rode in via the BestestBlogger site -- couldn't resist seeing your blog after reading your Blogname. That said, after reading your thoughts on King vs Fonda, I read all of your recent posts.
Keep writing....I'll be back. Loved the 10 greatest sins -- both the Dems and Reps have 'em.
