Revenge and Hanoi Jane

Selling out the POWs is unforgivable, no matter how much time has passed. If I was one of those guys, well, I'm not, so I won't say, but I can't blame them for feeling whatever they feel (I don't think the spitter was a POW, but I could be wrong).


It's amusing how many people are fawning over her worthless book that hasn't sold squat...Mr. supposedly "Hardball interview" Chris Matthews basically did everything but ask to sleep with her right there on the set.

I for one do blame th officials, ALL of them, not just Nixon, or Johnson, or Kennedy. And what about Pol Pot? It's not just AMericans that are bad. But of course partisan revisionism from all sides will prevent the true history from being told...as usual.

Proves that there are bigger scumbags than Jane Fonda...like Kissinger, Nixon, McNamara, Rusk, LBJ.

Oh, since you seemed to be so interested in correct spelling another thread, maybe you'd like to know that "anyways" isn't a word. Get back to discussing popcorn kernels, instead of the Vietnam War, which is beyond your level of understanding. Maybe you can go to the library and have somebody explain "The Best and the Brightest" to you since I"m sure you are too stupid to understand it for yourself.

If people in government had the courage of Jane Fonda in the 1960s, thousands and thousands of innocent Vietnamese and Camebodians would be alive today. And thousands of American soldiers too.

It is funny how people blame Jane Fonda for the deaths of soldiers, but give a free pass to government officials who are responsible. The fact that a complete scumbag like Kissinger is on the lecture circuit is appalling.

The Vietnam War was a waste for many young men's lives, in my opinion, but there is a right way and a wrong way to go about things.

I am not convinced that our involvement in Iraq was the best solution, but as long as there are young men on the ground risking their lives, I will support them.

Nobody was giving anyone a free pass. Are the various people who got us involved in this shit being praised here? Not one perosn has said, "Boy, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, and Kissinger were such swell fellas. I wish they had gotten us involved in more wars." Most of us will probably agree that the conflict lasted too long, but this thread wasn't about whether or not the war was justified, it was about Jane Fonda and spittle.

If you want to blame people for Vietnam, there is plenty of blame to go around. You can start with JFK, and then go to LBJ, and then you can finish up with Nixon. If you want to start passing out blame for the deaths of soldiers I would look to the people in these administrations. I don't blame Jane Fonda for the deaths of soldiers, I blame her for being a treasonous bitch. To say that she was courageous to protest is laughable, how does it take courage to protest a war that most people were against? If people really wanted to protest, then they would show up and vote, because that is the only protest that the politicans care about. If you don't like a war then vote an anti war guy into office and bring the troops home. All any protests do is send the wrong message to the troops, and lower their morale. As for Jane Fonda I wouldn't spit on her, hell I wouldn't shit on her, I wouldn't want to do something that horrible to my shit or my spit.

RugbyBuck you can't rip on this guy for pulling a "bonehead publicity stunt" when all he was doing was getting even for a traitorous publicity stunt that adversly affected his and thousands of others morale in a time when they needed homeland support more than anything. Then this publicity whore pulls a stunt like that on foreign soil, and you couple that with her star power at that time, it probably incensed him to a point where he would have waited 1000 years to spit in that cunts face. Some anger is very hard to let go of, talk to a few vets. I for one think she commited one of the worst crimes against our soldiers, undermining their feelings of self worth and publicly demeaning their duty in a time of war. She should go visit a few VA hospitals and offer up her apologies. She would get spit on more than the middle of Tibors back in the restroom at a gay bar.

Bridget Fonda is Peter Fonda's daughter.......doesn't make her less hot, though.

And, yes, she deserved what she got - a non-violent yet humiliating protest from someone who was wronged by her and many others during the anti-war movement.
If it's OK for the liberals to spray paint someone's fur coat, or hit them in the face with a pie or a gallon of mayo, then Hanoi Jane can take one for the liberal team.

actually, I've spent more time in a VA hospital than a gay bar. Can your worthless ### say the same? :roll1:

Your time serving veterans is certainly to be commended. Defending Jane Fonda is a tough sale, though. Many of Americans have moved past what she did, but for the generation that she scorned, it is an old sore they may never forget.
