Yes, there was a spitting incident in Kansas City this morning, and I'm getting a bit concerned. I'm afraid that some of the rhetoric that has been thrown around lately may encourage someone to commit further violence against Fonda.
None of us should ever condone or encourage any type of violence against a woman no matter how dispicable the woman may be.
Spitting is "violence"?
Well, I guess then if you want to play by street rules ( which Hanoi Jane did in Vietnam) you better be prepared to play by street rules.
By the way, Jane NEVER yet gets what she did and never apologizes! If she..without a book deal....came on tv and point by point apologized with true repentence and shame, I could at least feel neutral about her. She is just sickening and now continues to insult all Vietnam vets and is ONCE AGAIN MAKING BLOOD MONEY off the sacrifices many Vets made in Vietnam!
"Oh, let's just all get along...."
You bet.
Spitting on someone is not commiting violence. Would you condone spitting, at the time, on Ethel Rosenberg, Hitler, or Saddam today? Fonda is a traitor who gave aid and comfort to the enemy.
Spitting is a mild rebuke. Lord Haw-Haw was executed and Tokyo Rose was convicted of treason. For those of us who personally recall vividly what Fonda did, she is getting off easy. The MSM have been putting her on the airways incessantly during this publicity blitz for her book. Unfortunately, too many Americans are unaware of what she did and now must listen to her revisionist history.
If you want to know what Fonda did that has all of us Vietnam veterans exercised, read the Holzers' "Aid and Comfort", which makes a compelling case for treason. Fonda was on the Maher show the other evening and stated again that does not apologize for going to North Vietnam. She gave radio broadcasts on behalf of the communists. The hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese boat people and millions more that were placed in reeducation camps or fled the country are Fonda's and the Left's real legacy along with the repressive Communist regime that governs Vietnam today.
Please don't lecture us on how Fonda should be treated, especially equating spitting on somone as violence.
