Jane Fonda: 'I Have Never Done Anything to Hurt My Country'

[twyacht]

Ah, the annual Jane Fonda/Hanoi Jane post....Last year, here in the DRTV archives, there was a picture of her infamous sitting on the NVA's AA gun with helmet,.....

Than an American Squad, in Iraq, holding up a sign telling Jane "We saved your seat"........

I don't think she ever took them up on their offer....

Those cuts run really, really deep with folks.....and to me she's just another liberal asshat/traitor beeeyoooootttccchh, that should really go live in Europe....and get the f*** out of this country...

I think Janine Garofalo (sp) is her daughter.

Huge difference. Janine disagrees with you politically. Who, other than you, cares? But Fonda lent aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war, and watched American soldiers held as POWs without even asking to release one as a goodwill gesture. That's all the difference in the world. Its the difference between talking smack in a bar and a felony. Hell, I don't even think Garafolo would defend Fonda over that trip to Hanoi.

Civilian or military bashing,....she would have been branded, or at least run out of town on a rail,....in the old days,....

Maybe, one of those female racist, bigoted, homophobe minorities would have at least called her out, and smacked her...

Again Janene is just an idiot. Fonda is an unindicted criminal. I don't want to live in a country where dissent is a crime. The "leftist traitors"  (and why are they any worse than "facist traitors"?) who disagree with the government talking points of the moment walk.  But I also want to live in a country where if you go to an enemy nation during war time and assist them, your ass gets prosecuted. Dissenting from the Rush Limbaugh/Rachel Maddow message of the day is fine. Sitting on an anti-aircraft battery in Hanoi should get you thrown in jail.

The "Leftists" are traitors because they have spent decades subverting American values, and traditions. They are doing for communist intelligence agencies the same thing Fonda did for NVA AA gunners. Giving aid and comfort.
It is a documented fact that the CPUSA could not exist with out Soviet financial support.
The same was true of the "peace movement", and the KGB was quite proud to have usurped the word.

Got you a head shot on that one FQ....

And why TW? I have a problem here. Fonda is a traitor, she should be in jail. I mean hell, if I were an Assistant US Attorney (having gone to law school rather than grad school) I'd have indicted her for treason, and everyone on this board knows I'd have done it and damn the political consequences. Heck, if for no other reason than  to watch the pretty fireworks afterwords. My reputation speaks for itself here. I mean you can accuse me of many things, but being afraid to piss folks off isn't one of them, any more than Tom is likely to be nominated for Miss Congeniality.  
Still, I do believe in a wide latitude for dissent. You can hate the wars. You can hate BO, Hate W, hate capitalism, hate socialism, hate niggers, hate honkeys, hate Islam, hate Christianity and hate my little dog Toto too. You can hate all of that and I'll still call you a patriot and a fellow citizen if you swear allegiance to our Constitution. But if you go overseas and do a photo op with the Taliban in Afghanistan at a compound where they are holding an American soldier I'll call you a traitor. I think that that is a pretty clear red line. Fonda crossed it, Garafolo (who I really don't like) didn't. Why does it seem blurry to you guys? Going to Hanoi made Fonda a criminal. Saying dumb stuff? Well, it just means you have discovered that the 1A protects idiots.

I really hate it when this happens, but the Quaker is right on this one.  Billt, if Hanoi Jane got spat upon at every restaurant she ever went to over the last 40 years, it would not grieve me for a millisecond. 

I served in VN.  This biatch was responsible for the death or injury of countless of my brothers.  If she were to suffer the death of a thousand cuts, I'd pay good money to see the documentary.

Dissent is one thing.  Evil is something else entirely.  When you foreswear allegiance to your country and give aid and comfort to the enemy, that is evil in my book.

Quaker, you called this one just right (dammit)

Not sure on that one, CR. All of the stuff about Hanoi Jane - no problem. But dissent? "Ordinary" dissent is one thing, and is protected.

But what do you do when - as Tom pointed out - the dissenters are bought and paid for by a foreign power that is specifically targeting you to work at your weaknesses and destroy you from the inside? That changes the rules somewhat, and although the burden of proof always must be on the gummint, I have no problem with some dissent being prosecuted.

In Garafalo's case, it is mostly being a typically brainless Hollyweird libtard whose sole stellar achievement is Mystery Men (    ). Not worth prosecuting. But Ramsey Clark? No problem at all throwing his boney white commie ass in prison for foreign financed aiding and abetting.

PS: Here's a tip - When you find yourself agreeing with FQ, step back, take a deep breath, and understand that you are probably missing part of the story.
