#1 "Fonda declined to press charges against Smith, police said." A VERY smart move on her part.

#2 As much as I would have relished seeing this in person, I can't condone it. This is the kind of Kos-style left-wing behavior now proliferating at the campuses. Escalation along a hate spiral isn't good for anyone.

#3 Hell, Jane's probably been waiting for this for 37 years. She's probably glad it's over with and all she got was spit on.

#4 Kansas City police arrested a 54-year-old man Tuesday night after he allegedly spit tobacco juice

#6 Allowing somebody like Fonda to quietly enjoy the best of the freedoms our nation can offer after what she did isn't very good for those who serve and served and whom she directly and indirectly denigrated. In the absence of a sincere acknowledgement of the harm she helped inflict on thousands due to her own stupidity and inflated sense of self-importance, she damn well deserves and needs to be publically dogged and reminded every day. She should feel uncomfortable in public and if spit in the face is the worst of it she should be thankful.

#7 The sad part is that he had to wait in line for 90 minutes. What's wrong with all those people in line in front of him?

#8 I hear you, but is it worth the escalation from the other side that inevitably will happen?

#9 Let's have a thought for the millions of Vietanmese and Cambodians who died because of her. Let's remember that sentence of a communist leader: "We were on the verge of throwing the towel but we wetre conforted by the vision of Jane Fonda in a red dress".

She is criminal against humankind.

#10 Ok, I'd agree spit was not essential. But daily, constant, reminding in public is deserved. If she wants a public life then let her carry the full burden of public shame she's earned. On the other hand, if she crawls back in her hole without subjecting us to her media b.s. then I'd say live and let live until she answers to her maker.

Then can I go and piss on her grave?

#12 Was Fonda's vagina available for comment?

#13 This was a stupid thing to do, in and of itself.

Beyond that, I agree with lex -- this will result in escalation from the left. Not to mention that every assault they commit will be "defended" with "BUT THEY SPIT ON JANE FONDA!!!"

The loser who did this should be up on assault charges.

#14 Jane's a pathetic old has-been. But if this escalates, then Paul Wolfowitz, who still has much work to do and much good to contribute to the world, may well become a target of the piss-pie throwers. Not worth squirting Hanoi Jane, IMHO.

#15 It's horrible, terrible, we are above such meanery.

/LOL

Why'd he miss her open eyeball? My granny could have taken her out from 15 ft.

#17 I can't help but wonder if this was all staged to get Hanoi Jane sympathy....

#18 Fred, we should set up a defense fund for this guy if he is prosecuted. Maybe you could name Page 3 after him, too.

#19 I can't condone this either, and I was flying in Vietnam, in combat, on the very day that Fonda posed with the NVA AAA gun. I think she is too much of a lightning rod for those who are far more guilty and who, unlike Fonda, have never expressed regret over their actions.

Though 33 years old at the time, Fonda had the childlike mentality of a typical 60s starlet. She was putty in the hands of the hard-core traitors who manipulated her into propagandizing for the enemy. These would include, first and foremost, the former Attorney-General and RFK/MLK assassination suspect Ramsey Clark. Clark accompanied Fonda on her infamous trips and was the actual instigator and organizer of the whole operation. Other knowing traitors of that era include the insufferably arrogant and stupid eastern establishment elitist John K. Galbraith, who is still wasting oxygen today at age 98, and the similarly fossilized Goebbelist Walter Cronkite, who betrayed the trust of the American people and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat for the communists. We could also include any number of academics and currently respectable journalists and businesspeople who waged actual war against their own country, as well as against the Republic of Vietnam.

The chickens are coming home to roost. Vietnam will again be free, and I will live to see it.

Get 'em AC.

#21 Can't add any more to that AC. That says it all.

#22 She waited 33 years to sort of apologize for treason. I guess I can wait another 33 years to sort of forgive her. I would have been more impressed with her if she had posed with the gun during Linebacker II when the Buffs finally got to go downtown.

#23 All right, I'll step to one side and strongly condone it.
"Assault charges" and escalation? Maybe then I could file assault charges against the Left for beating the drums during their hateful protests up and down the street outside my house. Although the vision of three-inch leg hair and braided pits might be "assault" enough. Whatever. :)

As I understand things, Paul Wolfowitz is *already* the target of pies and other things, if not for the attention of his detail. This isn't about tit-for-tat.
