Person of the Month : Ike Boutwell

   "A central Kentucky theater owner who trained pilots during the Vietnam War is refusing to show the nation's top movie, "The Butler" because one of the stars is Jane Fonda who was an outspoken opponent of the conflict.

KY theater won't show "Butler"

Boutwell said Fonda's statements and demonstrations against the Vietnam War caused him to view her as a traitor, and he won't show any movie involving her in his theaters.

The Korean War veteran said: "I trained hundreds of pilots to fly, many of whom Ms. Fonda clapped and cheered as they were shot down."

 Ms Fonda, self-proclaimed socialist & admirer of communism*, was more than an outspoken opponent;   she went to North Vietnam, was photographed smiling and laughing while sitting on North Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns, the same guns that were shooting down American pilots.  

 

  She also met with American POWs and told American media they were being well-treated and not tortured.   This was blatantly untrue.   

 

  When the POWs returned home in 1973, they contradicted Hanoi Jane's widely reported statements to which her response was to call these men "hypocrites and liars".

 Note: In the lower left corner are anti-aircraft shells ready to be used to shoot down American planes.

Hanoi  Jane

Good for you Mr. Boutwell. 

 
We don't watch any of Hanoi Jane's movies anywhere, anyhow.

*On November 21, 1970 she told an audience of about 2,000 University of Michigan students, "If you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would some day become communist."  

 

She repeated this at Duke University, adding "I, a socialist, think that we should strive toward a socialist society, all the way to communism."

Hanoi Jane

Jane Fonda is upset.

   "I was to have been on QVC today to introduce my book, “Prime Time”, about aging and the life cycle. The network said they got a lot of calls yesterday criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear. I am, to say the least, deeply disappointed that QVC caved to this kind of insane pressure by some well funded and organized political extremist groups.

  snip ... "Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us."

Well, Ms Fonda, the membership of the 'extremist groups' that you mention are no doubt made up of those of us who remember how you went to North Vietnam in 1972  and cavorted with an NVA anti-aircraft gun crew, the very same guns that shot down American planes; how you also participated in a staged press conference with unwilling American POWs, the purpose of which was to "prove" that American prisoners weren't being mistreated by their Viet Cong captors. 

 

Years afterward, when the then-released POWs described the very real torture and degradation they had suffered at the hands of the North Vietnamese, you dismissed them as "hypocrites and liars."

Yes, Ms Fonda, you certainly have first-hand personal knowledge of hypocrites. You define the word.

And as far as "far right lies", here's a picture of you sitting on the damn gun surrounded by North Vietnamese soldiers (aka the enemy).

And you have apparently forgotten about the documentary about a political troupe headed by yourself and Donald Sutherland which traveled to towns near military bases in the US in the early 1970s, putting on shows called “F.T.A.”, which stood for “F**k the Army”, aimed at convincing soldiers to voice their opposition to the Vietnam War, which was raging at the time.

But you never did "anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us."

Riiiight.

This ain't hell: Jane Fonda is mad at history

Gateway Pundit: Hanoi Jane Whines 

Species: FOOL Genus: CELEBRITY

As Americans, we enjoy the privilege of freedom of speech and the right to express our opinions.

Thanks to the celebrity-obsessed American culture that has made them famous, made them millionaires, made them think they are somehow special, some celebrity fools use their so-called celebrity status as a national platform from which to spew their pompous 'blame-America-first' rhetoric.
 
Some of the bigger fools (note: this does not refer to personal body size):

 Rosie O'Donnell: “Don’t fear the terrorists. They’re mothers and fathers.”

Tell that to the families of Daniel Pearl, Nick Berg, Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Tucker.

Rosie O'Donnell: "What does a president have to do to be impeached?"

Ask Bill Clinton.

  Rosie O'Donnell: ""655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?"
 
Elizabeth Hasselbeck: ""Wait, who are you calling terrorists now? Americans?" 

O'Donnell: "I'm saying if you were in Iraq, and the other country, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens, what would you call us?

Sounds to me like she's calling us terrorists. And her numbers are way off.

Michael "Loser" Moore: "They (Americans) are possibly the dumbest people on the planet ... "

Back atcha, Mikey boy!.

Michael "Loser Moore": These bastards who run our country are a bunch of conniving, thieving, smug pricks who need to be brought down and removed and replaced with a whole new system that we control."

Mikey knows a smug prick when he sees one (every time he looks in a mirror).

"Hanoi" Jane Fonda: On the Vietnam War POWs:
""These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed. The POWs who said they had been tortured were exaggerating, probably for their own self-interests."
 
And she wasn't finished.

When American Vietnam War POWs began to return home, some of them having been held captive for up to nine years, and describe the tortures they had endured at the hands of the North Vietnamese, Ms Fonda told the country that they should "not hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars".

JJane Fonda: "I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists."

  Why was this person never prosecuted for treason?

Barbra Streisand: "Clinton's pardons have no impact on the health and welfare of the American people."
 
No, a bunch of drug traffickers, FALN bombers, and assorted dirty politicians won't have any impact at all.
 

Harry Belafonte: "If you believe in freedom, if you believe in justice, if you believe in democracy, you have no choice but to support Fidel Castro!"
  
Your Day-O has passed, buddy.


Madonna: "If I were President, Howard Stern would get kicked out of the country - and Roman Polanski would be allowed back in." "

"President Madonna" would eject Citizen Stern for exercising his constitutional right to free speech -- but would welcome a foreigner who was 44 when convicted of drugging and raping a 13-year-old American child.


Cameron Diaz: "We have a voice now, and we're not using it, and women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies. If you think that rape should be legal, then don't vote."

This is just too stupid to comment about.



Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson
on the 9-11 terrorist attacks: ""I just think we are a little bit of an arrogant nation and maybe this is a little bit of a humbling experience ... "

This arrogant nation helped make you a little bit of a millionaire. And, yes, over 3000 innocent deaths is a little bit of a 'humbling experience'.

"In times of disorder and stress, the fanatics play a prominent role; in times of peace, the critics. Both are shot after the revolution."
