A FRIEND OF MINE, an ex-radical who became a conservative and Deputy Sheriff of a Vermont town -- has a bumper sticker on his pickup truck that reads "Hanoi Jane Not Welcome Here." I admit to always having felt uncomfortable reading it, since it seemed to me to be an unnecessary reminder of the terrible, polarized atmosphere surrounding the war in Vietnam. It was a time when ultra-conservative supporters of the war showed their anger by what I thought was an unjustified demand that she be tried for "treason," because of what she had said in her trip to North Vietnam in the 1970s. After all, Americans had a constitutional right to oppose what some thought was a wrong and immoral war, and it might have been poor tact to make those points in the country our troops were fighting, but it was no different than if she had made those arguments here.
Now, decades after Jane Fonda’s trip, Henry Mark Holzer and Erika Holzer, both of them writers as well as lawyers, have published a book that seeks to make the case that in fact, Jane Fonda engaged in acts that make her guilty of the actual legal grounds for treason, which as laid out in the Constitution, defines the act as "levying War against them, or, in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." To be found guilty, a person had to have two witnesses to the overt act they committed, or have made a full confession in an open court.

No Quarter!
Thanks for the ping!
Let me give you a clue: THE OLD WOUNDS HAVE NOT HEALED. Only whey people are brought to some form of justice does healing begin, otherwise it is a festering sore. Don't buy into the usual liberal idiocy of "closure", there is no "closure" without paying for wrong doing, justice in other words, no matter how flawed in our imperfect world.
I will disown any family member, I catch buying the trator's new book. There are two sides to most issues, but not this one.....

Thank you - I could not have stated it better myself, except to include Hanoi john.
Actually I was speaking personally about the wounds. Hanoi Jane isn't the only evil my family has suffered through. She isn't even the worst. Josef Stalin has that distinction. Some people are not brought to justice until they die. My mother once told me that an evil person feeds off our thoughts. I don't know about that, but I refuse to let any of them take away more than they already have.
Unfortunately, Joe Scarborough only devoted about 3 minutes to Henry Mark Holzer on his show this evening. I just saw it. He included Mr. Holzer at the very end of the show, and even had to cut him short. That irritated me. The topic of Jane Fonda's everlasting treason deserved a half hour of MSNBC's "valuable time!" It got 3 minutes.

"That irritated me."
I saw it & was equally irritated. You are right of course...needed at least 30 minutes.
There is no point in even having Treason laws on the books, if we never use them on those that have performed treasonist acts against our country. It's pretty disgusting to see these traitors get away with this and it just encourages more of the same. It's safer to be a traitor to our country than it is to be an innocent brain-damaged woman as far as our government is concerned.
BTTT!!!!!!!
Ted screwed an employee but Jane screwed a whole country.
Personally speaking as a veteran, I wouldn't step off the curb to piss in Hanoi Jane's mouth if she was dying of thirst. I think she is the lowest scum only surpassed by John Kerry.
