Jane Fonda protest report (No spit in Seattle Apr. 27, 2005)

Ron Siddell (RD1), a Navy vet in the Lynnwood, WA area forwarded this to me. We served together supporting Swift Boat ops in Qui Nhon, RVN. -------------------------------------------------------------------

From: Sarge6000 Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 4:03 PM To: Sarge6000 List Subject: Hanoi Jane Protest Report

Well, I got my satisfaction if nothing else. There really is not much to report.

I tried to rally the troops to protest Hanoi Jane's book signing event today. A long time veterans advocate and buddy of mine showed up as did 2 Vietnamese.

I can assure everyone that I no longer want to hear any bad mouthing of Hanoi Jane from the Veteran Community in this area. They had an opportunity to make a statement and they chose not to. I know quite a few had to work, after all it is a work day. But I happen to be well aware that a lot of vets were available or could have been available to attend this.

Given at first it was just me and a long time veteran advocate and friend we decided to take things on in a different approach. Rather than picket we took up space in line. Which caused those behind us to have to wait longer to help support this communist bimbo.

The news media KIRO Channel 7 noticed I was a vet and began to interview me. Of course some old bitty tried to cut in and tried to make excuses for Hanoi Jane. What a joke that was. She got all upset when I reminded her of how Hanoi Jane presented propaganda for the communist over the radio with Hanoi Hanna (The Tokyo Rose of Vietnam) What an idiot she was.

Then when I reached the signing table things got real fun and interesting.

When Hanoi Jane looked up at me and asked me how I wanted her to sign the book I informed her I was not interested in her blood sucking book at the expense of my fellow veterans. I also asked her how it felt to be partially responsible for killing, torture, and reeducation of millions of innocent people. How does it feel to be such a believer in Communism yet profit from capitalism? Of course before I got finished saying what I was saying I was pounced upon by her Personal Bodyguards, Store Security and the local cops. Of course the news camera was also in the middle of everything as well.

What made me feel the best was seeing her react. She jumped out of her chair so fast it was unreal. Then she backed up as far away as she could with a look of total terror in her eyes. Just getting that look and response from her made me feel really good. I think maybe she was afraid I was gong to hock a huge loogie on her or something like that. Well, unfortunately for her my attack was verbal. She is not worth me or any veteran to go to jail over.

Anyway after the mugging by the security people and the cop I was escorted out of the building. The cop was pretty cool about it. No handcuffs or anything. They just took my info and turned me loose with a warning not to return to the store today. I told them hell I am going home and shredding my costco card. This communist supporting place will never see another nickel of my money.

All in all it was worth it to see the abject fear on Hanoi Janes face when I spouted off.

I will not make the event this evening in Bothel. As many of you know the wife is in the hospital and I need to do a couple of things for her. Besides given the lack of support from the veteran community what's the point? I got my satisfaction earlier today. To say I am disappointed in the veteran community is an understatement. After 30 years of her, I got and took my opportunity to let her know what I think. It was not what I really wanted to say or do but one has to maintain a certain sense of control.

What was also interesting was up to that point there was 2 Seattle cops at the event plus store and Hanoi Janes Personal security. As I was leaving there was a mess of cops coming to the event from all over. I guess I set something off or at least got them a little worried. ha ha ha

I hope others in other states and communities have better luck at protesting her sorry butt. Hopefully, you have veterans in your community that are more than talk and hot air.

Despite the failure of the local veteran community I can sleep well tonight knowing I stood my ground. For all those behind me in line that were offended its just to bad for them.

Just as a side note Hanoi Jane entered the store by slipping in through the back door.

In reality there was not that much of a crowd for the event anyway. I was somewhat surprised at the low turnout given Seattle's liberal leanings.

The attached photo is of me and one of the Vietnamese who came to protest. He arrived after my little scene.

Standing alone but dignity in tact

Thank you for taking the time to show you are a true patriot. It took real fortitude and righteous indignation for you to stand in line, waiting to shed light on a horrible abuse of our rights and freedoms. I'm proud of you. Keep up the good fight.

God bless you, Sarge. If I was in Seattle, I would have stood right behind or beside you. It's people like you who renew my faith in the best of America.

Oh, and thanks for your war service, too.

Many thanks for your service, Sarge. And for lighting a fire under that witch's chair.
She says she regretted sitting in the anti-aircraft a minute after doing it, but it appeared from the video that she was giving a 'power' salute.

Thank you Sarge for your service and continuing efforts to afford the dignity to all Service Members, past and present. People like John Kerry and Jane Fonda only wish to spread their venom to honorable people because they lack any honor in their lives.
I have never shopped at Costco and never plan on doing so in the future. I hope other people will also rip up their costco cards and shop at companies that honors vets instead of spitting on them by having the likes of Fonda represent them.

From one Sergeant to another, good work!! That has to feel like a million pound weight has been lifted off your shoulders to tell that commie sympathizer what a piece of total garbage she is!!

Excellent post!

I followed the evnts on King5. They just had video of one vet being led away, saying "I am not interested in your book!", I found it interesting how there had to be police officers in uniform guarding HJ>
Allthough she tried to keep her cool , she was obviously shaken by this.
Her commments about"How sad these people are and can't get rid of their hate" made me believe she still doesn't really understand what she did to harm the USA. It's too bad all this publicity is just selling more books for her.
