Sorry - The Traitor Bitch will never be favorable compared to anyone.

Trump may be the south end of a northbound horse but the traitor bitch is what comes out of the south end of a northbound horse!

Did you watch the clip, specifically at about 1:45 and on wards? I think that's embarrassing and disrespectful to the military, more so than posing for pics with the NVA, given he's the one actually trying to become CiC. His blase, uncaring attitude towards issues and info that our guys live and die by is quite frankly pretty damn disgusting to me. Makes me feel like I just watched Bush look under his press notes for WMD, then snicker about it like an asshole.

I'm not trying to switch this to Fonda, or defend her from going to North Vietnam for a PR stunt, but I do hope your animosity towards her doesn't cover something that didn't happen. http://www.snopes.com/military/fonda.asp

She does have regrets, and has apologized over them repeatedly, affirming she was acting on behalf of her conscious and desire not to see Americans die for the lies of politicians in Washington. Not excusing it, but I can understand it. Now if she had been part of the government at the time, an employee of the people, and did something to undermine the country's elected leadership regarding say, idk negotiations on a nuclear treaty in the face of war, well that's a quite a bit different IMO. Careful how you use the T word I guess is what I'm saying.

Well I almost6 commented on another post of yours in another thread, but didn't.

You're just confirming my first impression I guess.

You're just a real little looney toone, aren't you :)


You don't need to be loony to believe the popular myth about Fonda, you just have to come from a military background or family and look up to your leadership, fathers, uncles, etc. A war that divisive doesn't produce wounds that heal quickly.

I know this because I fall into that group and used to believe the Fonda myth about turning in secret POW notes to the NVA. I can still give her shit over taking her disagreement with the war to the point she did, but I can't blame her for something she didn't do.

BobberFett is just in his usual rant mode I see.

You can just read em in a line and it's nothing than blah, blah, blah ranting.

Nothing really useful to say, just a lot of noise.
Admit it, you jerk off every time I post, don't you Mr. Stalker.

I do hope your animosity towards her doesn't cover something that didn't happen.

It doesn't; no matter how divided our country was then 'we were at war' and going to the enemy was not just publicity it was aiding and abetting propaganda and is treason. If she had renounced her citizenship and moved to Viet Nam I would probably respect her; definitely not hold any animosity to her.

I went to a high school friend's funeral who was KIA there. This young female person who I might have been attracted to told my friends grieving mother her son deserved to die. I was with his High School friends and few of us owned a suit so I wore my Dress Blues; she picked on me saying how many babies did I kill to get the two rows of ribbons on my chest (BTW: The only one I was proud of was my Good Conduct Medal). I fixed air conditioning and refrigerators; didn't ever hurt anyone, just got my draft notice and scurried down and enlisted in the Air farce.

I was aware the POW story was malarkey while I was in graduate school (Shortly after Saigon Fell) If you read past the refuting of the email in snopes to the very end I could be that vet who waited in line 90 minutes (Except I don't chew). I also won't wait 15 seconds let alone 90 minutes express my dislike for that traitor. (I think we should have hung her in 1972, maybe 73 after a fair trail).

Protesting the war has nothing to do with it but there is a right way and a wrong way. Having the courage of your convictions is the right way and I respect people like Eugene Debs and

Jeannette Rankin - The lady I most respect for protesting the Viet Nam war, also opposed our involvement in the Great War where she as a member of Congress (Before the 19th Amendment) and chose not to run again for Congress because she had let down her State of Montana. She ran again in 1940, was elected and was the only person to vote against going to war with japan after the day of infamy. Again, having let down her State of Montana she didn't run again. In 1969 she was back in DC, not as Congresswoman but as a protestor at what I think (Not sure) was the biggest anti-war rally. If I could have got leave from where I was that summer, I would have been there also.

I served because I am an American, no other reason. My personal thoughts we had no business there from 1955 till Saigon Fell.

I attribute much of the mean spirited attitude toward the military, the viciousness of the likes of the blonde female at my friends funeral, the fact that I felt like a second class citizen in my own country for several years and even that the first time I got thanked for my four years honorable service to our country was after GW left office to the likes of the those like the Traitor Bitch and especially the Traitor Bitch herself.

Why would anyone "flee?" We would still have a gridlocked Congress, and nothing dramatic is going to happen regardless who's President.

And what makes anyone think anything dramatic would happen even if there was a strong-majority-Republican Congress under Trump? Trump is in fact a lot more moderate than most give him credit for. Has anyone been listening to his views on taxes, or on "religious freedom" (vis a vis Kim Davis)? And I don't for a minute believe that HE believes his own statements on immigrants.

He might actually end up being a lot better President than most of the other Republican candidates.
