The owner of Hardin County's [Kentucky] two movie theaters is refusing to show the nation's top-grossing movie. Like many veterans, Ike Boutwell has an issue with "Monster-in-Law" star Jane Fonda. On the ticket window at the Elizabethtown Movie Palace is a sign that tells movie goers the cinema will not show the film because of what she did in Vietnam. Below the message are pictures of Fonda clapping with a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft crew in 1972. The sign on the marquee outside Showtime Cinemas in Radcliff reads: "No Jane Fonda movie in this theater."
More than 30 years after the war's end, Boutwell still bears a grudge. "I trained a lot of pilots during the Vietnam conflict," he said. Some of his students died from rounds fired from guns like the one Fonda visited during her anti-war trip. "I think when people do something, they need to be held responsible for their actions," he said. "When you give the enemy aid, it makes the war last longer."
Of course, the lefties will scream "Censorship!" |
