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 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.
