I'm no fan of Jane Fonda, neither her acting nor her politics in the 60's. Although speaking out against the Vietnam War was hardly the act of treason many paint it to be, she went above and beyond the threshold of merely exercising free speech rights, and instead became a very active propaganda tool for the enemy that was shooting at our soldiers.

Nevertheless, there's a very limited number of circumstances where I would consider one person spitting in another person's face as anything but classless, disgusting and uncalled for. Getting back at someone for whatever they did 35 years ago isn't likely to qualify unless they ran over your brother or child or something...

Right or wrong... The bitch got what she deserved... You can whine all about if not being fair... But she deserved what she got...

Karma is such a sweet thing...

Sure, but that's not the point. The question is: would you have shot her yourself (or spit on her)?

It's easy to say, "good job, man" to someone else who does something f'd up in the name of a good cause, but most of us have the decency not to do it ourselves.

OTOH, as usual this kind fo stuff may be self-defeating. If this gets widespread publicity, then book sales may go up, and he'll pay $100 or whatever and she'll make thousands more.

Karma acts in strange ways. Tempt it not.

First of all, I think it does sound like she got what she deserved. Second, I haven't said a word about it not being fair.

Just because it was what she deserved doesn't negate the fact that the guy who gave it to her comes off as a classless loser.

It's what libbies call "Performance Art"

Shit I would have thrown a party and donated some money to his defense.

"I may not like what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. Unless I *really* don't like what you say, in which case I'll spit on you."

Let's pause and remember how cool of a guy Henry Fonda was. Oh, he was so good in Once Upon a Time in the West. All his westerns, really. And 12 Angry Men, definitely. It's too bad his daughter grew up to be like that. I think he blamed himself.

No, the right to free speech is granted to citizens of this country. However, men and women who fight on behalf of our rights do so to ensure that the rest of us don't have to EARN the right ourselves. This ungrateful twat went beyond protest to advocacy of the enemy. She did PR spots for the North Vietnamese condemning our soldiers for war crimes that were not committed. She felt the ends justified the means and be damned all those who were in captivity and made to listen to her bullshit. So f!ck her right in her treasonous ass, is her book selling in North Vietnam?

Haha. :D

The guy only did what millions would like to have done. Big props to him.

Okay, but you're still missing my point. You keep trying to convince me that she was an evildoer. I believe it. I wasn't there to see it, but I'm convinced now. There is no need to further pontificate on the sins she committed 35 years ago. I'm a believer.

But I still think it was classless to spit on her.

But most of those millions wouldn't go through with it, because while it might be a very enticing fantasy, it's a classless thing to do.

Well the flaming bag of dog shit on the front steps is always a classic... :thumb:
