KANSAS CITY, Mo. --
Police said they arrested a man for spitting on Academy Award winning actress Jana Fonda during a book-signing stop in Kansas City Tuesday night.Fonda, 67, spoke at Unity Temple, in The Plaza shopping district, about her new book, "My Life So Far" and her new movie with Jennifer Lopez called "Monster-In-Law."
At about 9 p.m., police said a man who had been waiting in line for about 90 minutes, passed a book to Fonda and then spit a large amount of tobacco juice into her face.
Thy said the man then ran away and was taken into custody by off-duty officers, who were providing security for the event.
Fonda declined to prosecute the man for allegedly spitting in her face.
Michael A. Smith, 54, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, which is a city charge.
Interesting thought. I think we are going to find out.
Perfect point.
Because of Fonda and her ilk, our men were spat on...and tortured, actually. Spit is the very least she deserves.
I heard a story of how the prisoners at the Hanoi Hilton passed her notes for their families, and she gave them over to the enemy. The prisoners were then tortured for passing the notes!
Since she is now a Christian Fonda needs to read Matthew 5:23-24
"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift."
It was a good idea. Keep doing them. It is a great release for frustration and anger.
I look forward to finding out! :)
I guess we will find out.
I guess you're correct, I'm not decent. BTW, what did Jane Fonda do to you?
Killjoy!
Sorry. :)
Will this find it's way into your next crossword puzzle? Aren't we due for another one?
The Vietnam Vets who arrived back home would have preferred to be welcomed with flags and parades; but they too were spit on, because Fonda and her friends said they were "baby killers" and deserved it.
Fonda deserved a little of the same treatment. She needs to realise what she put our heroes through. She needs to "feel their pain".
Although I do not advocate chewing tobacco, this guy is my hero.

AND IF ANYONE THINKS I REALLY MEANT THAT HORSESHITE THEN THEY DON'T KNOW ME....LOL...I HOPE IT WAS SOMETHING STRONG LIKE "DAY'S WORK" AND THAT IT BURNED LIKE ALL HELL. A TRAITOR WHOSE ONLY REMORSE IS THAT FOLKS REMEMBER HER TREATMENT OF OUR LADS. WHO WOULDA EVER THOUGHT WILDASS PETER WOULD TURN OUT TO BE THE NORMAL FONDA?
The point about sounding like Dukakis is that your statement, "I guess it is hyperbole. I wouldn't really urinate on someone's grave. And I certainly wouldn't spit in someone's face." is similar to Dukakis' reaction to someone raping his wife.
"The issue of capital punishment came up at the October 13, 1988 debate between the two presidential nominees. Bernard Shaw, the moderator of the debate, asked Dukakis, "Governor, if Kitty Dukakis [his wife] were raped and murdered, would you favor an irrevocable death penalty for the killer?" Dukakis replied cooly, "No, I don't, and I think you know that I've opposed the death penalty during all of my life." The reply was sincere and well-put, but Dukakis' answer lacked the emotion needed for a question in which he was forced to consider his wife's death."
What does it take it evoke your passion and emotions? To make the categoric statement that you would never respond in such a human way is either more hyperbole or nonsense. Obviously, you are not a Vietnam veteran.
During the course of this thread, you have changed your position several times. Initially, you were lecturing us:
"I understand why he did it, but I really don't want our side doing that kind of stuff. I want to be able to criticize the other side. Let's not be like them.
I would have preferred that a relative hand her a personal item or momento of a man who died in Vietnam because of her. That would have been powerful. I understand the symbolism. Although they have every right, they still shouldn't do it
Then you started to change your tune:
I wouldn't mind seeing Flounder throw up on her like Dean Wormer. Instead of spitting in her face, I prefer to do it song
Then you get tough
I'll drink a six-pack of 20-ouncers first and join you. I don't disagree that it is worth spit and a lot more. I will urinate on her grave if I have the opportunity. If we are to criticize the left, however, we need to watch what we do.... Then, I would have told her that I have a rope and nice big tree at my house if she would care to finally do the honorable thing.
I'm not judging him at all. I'm sure he felt he had to do that for years of anger and not being able to release it. I'm glad the *itch isn't pressing charges. Actually, it is smart of her to not do that. Thousands and thousands have truly earned the right to do what he did.
Then you got soft again
Again, I'll say it. He and others earned the right. I guess it is hyperbole. I wouldn't really urinate on someone's grave. And I certainly wouldn't spit in someone's face.
Janie apologized for her past actions.
I was raised in the South and those standards still motivate my actions. This was reprehensible and Fonda comes out looking good while the slimy toad looks like a slimy toad.
Did he say, "I win?" . . . It reminds me of the tobacco-spittin' scene in Kill Bill 2: Kiddo spits on the lowlife and the lowlife responds by spitting 'baccy juice in her face, then says, "I win."
Yes, we are due for a crossword. I've been busy with the DeLay series and actually doing some business.
We don't disagree. She deserves worse. I would have traded her for Nick Berg.
Goody! Let me know when it's ready. I'll save some space.
I officially declare you the winner. This is growing very tiresome, and I have to do No. 10 in the DeLay series. And, I have to respond to the inspection report on a property I'm buying. See ya.
