‘In Life, You’ve Got to Stand for Something’: Vet Refuses to Show ‘The Butler’ at His Movie Theater
The Blaze ^ | August 22, 2013 | Liz Klimas

A Korean War veteran who has owned a movie theater in central Kentucky for more than three decades is refusing to run “The Butler” due to the anti-Vietnam War stance of one of its lead actresses.

Ike Boutwell, who opened MoviePalace and Showtime Cinemas in Elizabethtown in the 1980s, told the News-Enterprise that in all these years he has not, to his knowledge, let one movie with Jane Fonda play in his theater....

One day many Vietnam Vets will drink some beer just before they visit her grave.

Perhaps on the return trip from the grave of the #1 traitor from that conflict - john french kerry.

I’m a Vietnam vet who heard Fonda call us `babykillers and war criminals’ on the shortwave in 1972. We could feel & see how NVA morale was strengthened by her treasonous words broadcast from Hanoi.

I have waited over forty years to learn of Jane Fonda meeting a violent end. However, Satan protects his own.

Bravo to this theater owner. Just like the restaurant owner years ago who refused to let Fonda enter after she bellowed, “Do you know who I am!!!?”

He replied, “Yes, I know who you are and you are not welcome here.”

I will rejoice at the news of the death of Jane Fonda.

I intend to eat a lot of chili beans with jalapenos and drink a lot of beer about 18 hours before I visit both their graves.
I want to not just piss on them, but give each one a big steaming pile of what I think they both are.

FWIW, Elizabethtown or “E Town” is not far from Ft.Campbell,KY.

Plus this movie is mostly fiction.Loosely based on a ‘true story’.

His mom was never raped, his kid doesn’t die in Vietnam,etc,etc. If that’s a spoiler, tough shiite.
