The Big Bad Wolf.
This thread is not about John Kerry. It is not about William Calley either. This is about Jane Fonda and her actions. Whether or not those actions legally constituted treason against the United States, one thing I do know: on the Wall are the names of 58,264 of my brothers, and 8 of my sisters who died. At least some of those names are there, as a direct result of Jane Fonda's aid to and encouragement of the NVA and the VC. How many? We can never know, but even if it is only one, that is one too many! We have the freedom to protest, it is true, but the use (or abuse) of that freedom has consequences. In this case that includes the loss of the the lives of young Americans serving this nation. Those names are not statistics, or abstractions; every single on of them belongs to an American, one of us; complete with hopes, dreams, feelings, a family, and a future that will never be. Some consequences!
So, when you brand the soldier with the mark of Cain, when you talk about the blood on his hands and the stains on his soul, I suggest you remember that the hands and souls of some who never fired a shot, or faced one, are not so squeaky clean either; and yes, Janie dear, it will take a lot more than soap, to wash away what's dripping from yours!
This is something symptomatic of you and your fascist friends. Like Lee Atwater you guys take something like expressing freedom of speech..and conflate into treason.
And you do things like marginalize real treason..like Ronald Reagan making a deal with the Iranian government, before he had any authority to do so..or funding the nun raping Contras in violation of legislation by Congress...as "No big deal".
And you guys hold up pissant liars like John O'Neill as some kind of clariion of truth telling.
Fucking disgusting.
