MY HERO!
If the vet asks for a trial by jury of peers there's no way that she'll win.
Fonda will have to testify; she will never do that.
I read the story twice and did not see where it stated he was a Viet Nam Vet. Maybe I somehow missed it.
whoa! Gives me shivers.. I remember in college some guy had a big vase-like spittoon, with a week's worth of spit or whatever sitting on his dresser. We had no clue what it was, and a bunch of us were clowning around.. knocked it off, and this molasses-like sludge goes pouring down some poor guy's back. The smell was something else - as was the look on his face as he pulled his shirt off and ran out of the room, gagging.
So, to take it in the face must be pretty bad! LOL
She should have pressed charges and thrown this moron in jail.
I can't stand Jane Fonda - she makes my blood boil - but what this moron di is a tactic that the other side uses.
If you can't defeat someone on the weight of your ideas you resort to infantile pie throwing or spitting.
It is an embarassment that many here seem to be supporting this guy's efforts.

As a Vietnam Vet, I must disagree with you. The fact of the matter is that this gives her a VERY clear understanding of how alot of us still feel about her "Lapse of Judgement". To ensure that these Progressive's get the full thrust of our disgust with them, we must lower ourselves to their level and speak to them in their own language!!
"If you can't defeat someone on the weight of your ideas..."
I don't condone violence either. But that's part of the danger of the other side resorting to such acts.
When dialog breaks down, violence breaks out.
Dialog has been breaking down for a long time. I suspect the more pies and salad dressing they toss, the more difficult it will be for those on our side to control their impulses. People can only take being pushed around for so long. If it's to stop and return to dialog, they need to stop throwing pies and shouting down opposing voice.
We also don't have the full story. Could this guy have been in a POW camp and forced to listen to Hanoi Jane's treasonous broadcasts? If so, she's lucky it was only tobacco juice.
I understand your sentiment, and I kind of get a chuckle out of this episode.. but the problem is, to the average joe (well some of them anyway) this just makes the guy look like some redneck slob, and might actually create some feelings of sympathy for Jane. Oh well.. he did it, it's done.
Democrats are more often bold and agressive when pushing their agenda. Republicans more often take it in the a** such as what's going on with the Bolton nimination to the UN. It doesn't pay to be mealymouth and wimpish and let liberals run roughshod over good people. It is time the majority party act like the majority and put liberal scumbags in their place.
Her ex-husband Red Ted Turner chewed tobacco. Nothing new for Hanoi Jane.
Oh lord, I would have given good money to be on hand to witness that blessed event. First our great Pope being elected now this-proof of a god!!!
What great BALLS
He did that for ALL of us Vets.
So proud of him I could just BURST
I agree that this mans actions are intollerable. This is not something someone who claims conservative values would do. Then again, aren't some here assuming he has conservative values? He may just be assuming that this is what you do whenever you disagree with another person, and is simply following the lead of those that have gone before him.
In 72 she was 34. That is not a lapse in judgement. When you fly to North Vietnam, and pose with enemy soldiers at 34, you are making a concious decision to do so. It's not like she ran a red light or stole lipstick, she went out of her way to do this crap.
What is so sickening is that her whole image make over is an attempt to jumpstart her pointless over rated film career. "It was a lapse in judgement", boo fricking hoo! She looks more rodiculous now pandering to the masses.
What does she think, people will forget? It's amazing how stupid these people are. Most of the guys fighting at the time are at least a decade to fifteen years younger than she is.
It must take a lot of guts for a man to approach a woman in a friendly manner, spit tobacco juice in her face, and then run away. What a hero! Following your logic ("we must lower ourselves to their level"), we will all be acting the same soon. Is that the result we want?
actually spitting on scoundrels is a time honored tradition. It is one of the best ways to express disdain and it is biblical in its origin. I would have changed 1 thing and not run away. He should have been proud to make this statement about a traitor that our government has allowed to walk around free for decades.
This is just as wrong as the pies in the face and other attacks on conservative speakers.
Karma ???
