KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A man spit tobacco juice into the face of actress Jane Fonda after waiting in line to have her sign her new book, police said.

The man ran off but was quickly caught by police Tuesday night and charged with disorderly conduct.

Fonda has been on tour and doing interviews to promote her just-published memoir, "My Life So Far." The thrice-married, two-time Academy Award winner covers a wide array of topics, including her 1972 visit to Hanoi to protest the Vietnam War, during which she was photographed on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun. She has apologized for that photo, but not for opposing the war.

Capt. Rich Lockhart of the Kansas City Police Department said that although Fonda did not want to press charges against Michael A. Smith, 54, of Kansas City, he was arrested on a municipal charge of disorderly conduct after off-duty officers caught him just outside Unity Temple, where Fonda was signing books.

Lockhart said Smith was released on bond late Tuesday night and is due to appear in municipal court on May 27.

Smith, a Vietnam veteran, told The Kansas City Star on Wednesday that Fonda was a "traitor" and that her protests against the war were unforgivable. He said he normally does not chew tobacco but did so Tuesday solely to spit juice on the actress.

"I consider it a debt of honor," he told The Star for a story on its Web site, www.kansascity.com. "She spit in our faces for 37 years. It was absolutely worth it. There are a lot of veterans who would love to do what I did."

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...

So I guess the prisoners who gave her notes about being beaten, starved etc by VC and in turn she gave those note to the VC is doesn't qualify as treason, abading and helping the enemy?

The news like to bury those acts. Being anti-war is one thing.
Helping the enemy is another.

Bring up the treason charges. Let the silver spoon witch rot in prison.

I see Jane at future book signings behind a glass screen.

God forgives the bitch. I'm not required to, I admit I'm a sinner.

I think it goes back to the political witch hunts in Washington. Nixon was one of the leaders and built quite a rep for seeking out communists and discrediting them, true or not.

Don’t ask for a link, I’ve posted it before on this site.

"I know that's the popular version of what went on there. I wish I could agree with you but I was there. I wasn't back here in a classroom hoping I was right, thinking about it. I was up to my knees in rice paddies with guns and ammo, slugging it out with Charlie. While pussies like you were back here partying, putting headbands on, doing drugs, and listening to the God damned Beatles albums....Aahhhh AHHHHH!"

Vietnam was about keeping one country from taking over another. Pu**ies like you back here in the states putting pressure on the spineless politicians is why a war against a pissant country like North Vietnam cost 100,000 lives. We could have torched the North to the point where feeding themselves was as much work as they could do, then they wouldn't have been so anxious to fight.

As for the nukes, let's say we didn't build any while the Russians built their 30,000+. When they stepped up and said "surreneder or die", what would you have done there smart guy?

Similar pussies are keeping our boys from doing the job they are trained to do in Iraq.

For instance, I could really give a chit if that inbred chick with the

leash and collar smoked a cig off of those terrorists ass. No really, she should've had a pinch collar instead.

It is used to refer to a person sympathetic to the Communist Party and Russia during the Cold War but not an outright Communist. Often used by people on the right to describe leftists. Similar in meaning to "Fellow Traveller". The identification of Communism with "Socialist" red (and with red being the primary color of the flag of the Soviet Union) led to such Cold War phrases as "the Red Menace" and "Red China".

Hence "Pinko," pink being a light red. Also "pinko commie."

BD - Don't get too cocky about Taz. Tank is tough. I have a feeling he would put a beating on Taz similiar to what the Dodgers have done to the over-the-hill gang (aka Barroid & 'da boys; aka the Giants...how'd they get so big anyway?)

Sounds like a business transaction to me. He paid a hundred bucks or whatever a disorderly conduct citation costs, and got to spit on Jane Fonda.

Hell, for that price, people would line up around the block for their turn.

$100???

Heck, where do we sign up?

I might be tempted to blow a few hundred and treat some friends....

I'll give you 10/1 odds.

Are you sure? Taz has won as many fights as the SF Giants have won Worl Series. Tank took the Blue Ribbon in dock diving at the San Mateo County Outdoor show this Spring. The ribbon is Dodger Blue for first place. It is a clear demonstration of the power in his legs.

Swap out "Similar pussies" for "Idiots in Washington who didn't listen to their generals" and you might have a point.

Pride > UFC

I've been downloading a lot of both and I have to say Pride is much, much better. I'm currently at 95% of Fists of Fury. Can't wait to watch that.
