From: Sarge6000 Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 4:03 PM To: Sarge6000 List Subject: Hanoi Jane Protest Report

Well, I got my satisfaction if nothing else. There really is not much to report.

I tried to rally the troops to protest Hanoi Jane's book signing event today. A long time veterans advocate and buddy of mine showed up as did 2 Vietnamese.

I can assure everyone that I no longer want to hear any bad mouthing of Hanoi Jane from the Veteran Community in this area. They had an opportunity to make a statement and they chose not to. I know quite a few had to work, after all it is a work day. But I happen to be well aware that a lot of vets were available or could have been available to attend this.

Given at first it was just me and a long time veteran advocate and friend we decided to take things on in a different approach. Rather than picket we took up space in line. Which caused those behind us to have to wait longer to help support this communist bimbo.

The news media KIRO Channel 7 noticed I was a vet and began to interview me. Of course some old bitty tried to cut in and tried to make excuses for Hanoi Jane. What a joke that was. She got all upset when I reminded her of how Hanoi Jane presented propaganda for the communist over the radio with Hanoi Hanna (The Tokyo Rose of Vietnam) What an idiot she was.

Then when I reached the signing table things got real fun and interesting.

When Hanoi Jane looked up at me and asked me how I wanted her to sign the book I informed her I was not interested in her blood sucking book at the expense of my fellow veterans. I also asked her how it felt to be partially responsible for killing, torture, and reeducation of millions of innocent people. How does it feel to be such a believer in Communism yet profit from capitalism? Of course before I got finished saying what I was saying I was pounced upon by her Personal Bodyguards, Store Security and the local cops. Of course the news camera was also in the middle of everything as well.

What made me feel the best was seeing her react. She jumped out of her chair so fast it was unreal. Then she backed up as far away as she could with a look of total terror in her eyes. Just getting that look and response from her made me feel really good. I think maybe she was afraid I was gong to hock a huge loogie on her or something like that. Well, unfortunately for her my attack was verbal. She is not worth me or any veteran to go to jail over.

Anyway after the mugging by the security people and the cop I was escorted out of the building. The cop was pretty cool about it. No handcuffs or anything. They just took my info and turned me loose with a warning not to return to the store today. I told them hell I am going home and shredding my costco card. This communist supporting place will never see another nickel of my money.

All in all it was worth it to see the abject fear on Hanoi Janes face when I spouted off.

I will not make the event this evening in Bothel. As many of you know the wife is in the hospital and I need to do a couple of things for her. Besides given the lack of support from the veteran community what's the point? I got my satisfaction earlier today. To say I am disappointed in the veteran community is an understatement. After 30 years of her, I got and took my opportunity to let her know what I think. It was not what I really wanted to say or do but one has to maintain a certain sense of control.

What was also interesting was up to that point there was 2 Seattle cops at the event plus store and Hanoi Janes Personal security. As I was leaving there was a mess of cops coming to the event from all over. I guess I set something off or at least got them a little worried. ha ha ha

I hope others in other states and communities have better luck at protesting her sorry butt. Hopefully, you have veterans in your community that are more than talk and hot air.

Despite the failure of the local veteran community I can sleep well tonight knowing I stood my ground. For all those behind me in line that were offended its just to bad for them.

Just as a side note Hanoi Jane entered the store by slipping in through the back door.

In reality there was not that much of a crowd for the event anyway. I was somewhat surprised at the low turnout given Seattle's liberal leanings.

The attached photo is of me and one of the Vietnamese who came to protest. He arrived after my little scene.

Is it just me, or does the traitor look higher than a Georgia pine, in that VN pic? Yeeehaaa, black tar is the way to go...

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

That's definitely one possibility.

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)

I know Sarge personally. I am glad he stood his ground. Very glad! Wherever Fonda decides to do a book signing, I would hope that people would express their dissatisfaction with her. Sarge did so in a decent way. I just think that she could publically apologize, as there are still many deep wounds among our Vets. Right now, all I see is selfishness in trying to promote her book. What she did was part of history, and it's not something she can just ignore like it didn't happen.

Sarge,

"Standing alone but dignity in tact"

I can sympathize with you, since I am “The Lone Protester” at the Dixie Chicks concert in Orlando, Florida, the second stop on the US tour. The show in Orlando was the first time the group had performed in Florida since lead singer Natalie Maines told a London audience on March 10: ``Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.'' I paid $43.00 for a professional protest sign, wore my $500.00 cowboy suite and boots (which could have been destroyed), and wore my cowboy hat which was left to me by my dad. I was also the only protester.

I also wrote a book titled, “The Conservative Rebellion”
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1930151993/qid=1088285632/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-2036885-1092018?v=glance&s=books)
which is a conservative poetry book, and have had no conservative support for it so far. Here is an excerpt from it:

I have a statement for Sam Hamill, who "was overcome by a kind of nausea" when he received an invitation from the White House for a poetry symposium. The reviews are in for the 10,000 poems at the Poets Against the War website. The garbage stench from your website has nauseated a whole nation. The stench is so bad that it can be smelled all the way over in Kuwait, and if it becomes too bad our U.S. military is equipped with gas masks.
(APPLAUSE)
I have a statement for the First Lady, Laura Bush. As Sean Hannity would say, "Let not your heart be troubled," and thank Gawd that FINALLY, we have a First Lady that we can be proud of.
(APPLAUSE)
And thank Gawd that FINALLY, we have a Commander-in-Chief that we can be proud of.
(APPLAUSE)
And there isn't ANYTHING we wouldn't do for him!
(APPLAUSE)
I have a statement for HollyWEIRD. You are only PRETEND heroes in movies and on television. Come back to the real White House, the real world, and the real heroes that are fighting and dying so that you can have your spoiled brat "Tinseltown."
(APPLAUSE) --Address to the first Rally for America in Orlando, Florida by Thomas Newton

It seems that conservatives are big on thoughts and e-mails but little on Speaking (Silent Majority) and Acting. They are like sheep and they have to be lead. They will follow even a Democratic leader , if no Conservative leader shows up.

Getting fed up with no conservative action or support,

God Bless Sarge6000. HHHOOOOOORRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!

"""she is such an Anti American slut."""

Because of Vietnam, western Europe, including Germany, crawled with anti-American sluts.

Not young Joe Ratzinger though. He would have given her a piece of his mind. Not as crudely though.

And BTW .... in my iron curtain homeland we cheered Richard Nixon on.

Here's a link to the KING5 TV report with a film clip of the incident:

I won't set foot in Costco, so good on ya , Sarge :)

[Beth528]

I was never a Richard Nixon fan but if I had of known what Jane the slut and Kerry the dimwit did to prolong the war I would have been a fan of his..

[Gunrunner2]

>>It seems that conservatives are big on thoughts and e-mails but little on Speaking (Silent Majority) and Acting. They are like sheep and they have to be lead. They will follow even a Democratic leader , if no Conservative leader shows up. <<

We are busy working, raising our families and VOTING. . .something the lefty nut-burgers never do.

"""I won't set foot in Costco ..."""

Costco stores in the U.S. are my source of good right wing books at a third off the other bookstores' prices. Canadian Costcos don't generally carry these, NOT BECAUSE THEY HATE ANN COULTER ETC., but because they wouldn't sell too well up here in Kanukistan. Sad but true, but I know that this will change once Stephen Harper assumes the helm.

EVERY store in America is going to carry Jane Fonda's book if they think they'll make a healthy profit. It has NOTHING to do with how they feel about the author. And if she'll come & sign the books & get them out the door faster they'd say "yes" to her in a New York minute.

So it looks like you're not going to be able to enter any more bookstores again ever.

[Fruit of the Spirit]

You have to understand that West Washington state is as liberals as you can get. Most residents have been brain-washed since birth.

Seattle is in King County where the ongoing court battle over ballot counting and the governorship is still lingering.

PING for later

[sandydipper]

Thanks!

I was just a kid the first time I ever laid eyes on Nixon. He and Eisenhower were campaigning in San Diego at the old ballpark. My mother took me, and I can remember thinking that Nixon looked shifty. I was satisfied with Eisenhower but wary of Nixon. Just a kid's feelings, I guess.

Pardoning traitors was, for me, the worst thing he ever did. He opened the door for all the other traitors to run their anti-American slogans and rhetoric.

[Mystic]

I don't patronize Costco because of its 99% rating as a "blue" company, not just this incident. See buyblue.org for details.
My book buying is usually reserved for local independents.

[Beth528]

I didn't know anything about politics back then I had no interest what so ever in politics.I like you thought he looked shifty.

[Route101]

As a suffering republican in King County...It's home to Jim McDermott, a 20 foot high statue of Lenin in Fremont and blatant voter fraud... just to name a few of the topics that should be in the next Seattle tourist guide.....

Sometimes it takes only 1 person to speak out. I am positive Hanio Jane knows what she did; but does she care; no. She is profiting like so many others. In their minds they are doing something noble; while in reality they are selling out their fellow Americans. It is not us who will hurt her; but I wouldn't be so sure about her fellow communists.

Anyway, I am very proud of you. Keep up the good work.

[Bonaparte]

Thanks for the report. You done good, Sarge! :-)))
