According to Tim Curran, of the Associated Press (© 2005)…"A man spit tobacco juice into the face of actress Jane Fonda after waiting in line to have her sign her new book”.  Apparently  “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’ (NO NEED FOR THE QUOTATION MARKS, SHE IS 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.’.

“Fonda drew a crowd of about 900 for her appearance, said Vivian Jennings, whose Rainy Day Books of suburban Fairway, Kan., sponsored the event at Unity Temple in Kansas City. Fonda, 67, spoke for about 15 minutes, answered questions for another 15, then began signing copies of her book.

“Jennings said Fonda received a standing ovation when she came out and when she finished speaking. Alan Tilson, one of those who had his book signed but left before the incident, said the crowd was very ‘warm and supportive’ to Fonda and he was surprised to learn what had happened. Jennings said the actress never got up from her seat and continued autographing books after the tobacco juice was wiped off (underline mine).  The important thing is that she was so calm and so gracious about it," Jennings said of Fonda. ‘She was wonderful’.

"Jennings said that the man had a book to which the name "Jody" had been affixed as he approached to have it autographed. She said that when Fonda got the book, she looked up and said, ‘You're not Jody.’  At that moment, he turned his head quickly and spit a trail of tobacco juice', Jennings said. He immediately jumped off the stage and started running down the aisle.

“Fonda…issued a statement through Jynne Martin of Random House, which published her book. ‘In spite of the incident, my experience in Kansas City was wonderful and I thank all the warm and supportive people, including so many veterans, who came to welcome me last night,’ Fonda said”.

So there you have it.  One man stands up against a traitor that our government has refused to prosecute for political reasons.  He will face a fine.  Hanoi Jane says that she was accepted in a warm sorta way by many…including many veterans.  Excuse me if I doubt the latter assertion.  Jane’s support came from 900 idiots in a bookstore and by a woman or man named Jynne (that is not a real name…it is leftist doodling) from Random House in an attempt to make a buck on this traitor. 

Jane can lie and she can pretend and she can marry man after man who will support her in the lifestyle that she has become accustomed.  She can not escape the wrath of those of us who tried to do the right thing and serve our country.  Barbarella was hot…Jane is a pathetic pseudowoman who either has no idea of the damage she caused or who knows exactly what she is doing and who wants to see America fall. 

Jane has cast a shadow upon her family name.  She has cast a shadow upon America.  She has contributed to the deaths of thousands.  The 900 who went to her book signing should know this.  And they should bow their heads in shame.  While I cannot condone spitting, Michael A. Smith is my new personal hero.
