MSNBC: Monica Crowley "certainly understands" why Fonda was spat upon

In 1972, Jane Fonda was at the height of her fame, a movie star and icon in her own right, out of the shadow of her famous father. That's when she decided to use her fame to oppose the war in Vietnam. Jane Fonda took to the streets here at home to let her views against the war be known. But she didn't stop there.

She took her show on the road: to the enemy. During her stay as a guest of the North Vietnamese government, she climbed atop an enemy gun used to shoot down American airplanes. She broadcast messages on Radio Hanoi, telling American pilots to disobey orders and stop their bombing runs. And she betrayed American POWs, who covertly identified themselves to her, only to see her tell the enemy that they had tried to communicate with her.

She now says that her trip to North Vietnam was a large lapse in judgment. But she doesn't regret the radio broadcasts or taking her opposition to the war to American soldiers in harm's way. And that's precisely the problem. Jane Fonda has a new book out, and soon, a new movie. Her so-called “apologies,” coming 30 years after the war, now ring hollow and opportunistic. She just doesn't get it: She sided with the enemy. She endangered the lives of American soldiers.

And she betrayed her country. Which is why a Vietnam Veteran, Michael Smith, spit on her this week in Kansas city. I am not condoning what Mr. Smith did. But I certainly understand the anger that led to his action. She jeopardized his life and the lives of his buddies. She gave huge propaganda value to the enemy. And she turned her back on her country. Those who fought for this country have no respect for her, and I can't blame them. Her half-hearted apology was not a request for forgiveness. And that tells me that her character hasn't changed one bit.

1. God I hate the Liberal Media

[EstimatedProphet]

2. Speaking of siding with the enemy

Monica Crowley is a Bush shill, which makes her a traitor in my book. She and all the shills are DIRECTLY responsible for the American lives lost in Iraq. They died because of her.

[Fenris]

3. So she would understand why I am going to hit her in the mouth with

a baseball bat, no?

[Kipepeo]

14. She wouldn't condone it

But she would certainly understand the anger that led to it.

[RandomKoolzip]

4. At the half, the score is:

A bunch of nutty liberals decorated THREE hard-core conservatives with food.

One semi-retarded conservative spat upon ONE former liberal/now-conservative.

The way I see it, the score is 4-0.

5. I've got something to spew upon the face of Ms. Crowley . . .

. . . and it ain't tobacco juice.

7. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*GASP*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Maybe aim a little at the eye. I don't like her.

6. And in that spirit

I can certainly understand why someone might throw a jar of urine (partially fermented) into Monica Crowley's face.

[kenny blankenship]

11. Make that CAT urine --nt

[Vektor]

8. I can understand

why someone might want to fling a fistful of feces in Ms. Crowley's face. She is a paid Bush shill and a corrupt phony "reporter" who is hurting America.

[Seabiscuit]

12. Make those turkey feces. Ever smell turkey shit?

[Vektor]

13. No...

But I'm sure it's LOVELY.

[Robeson]

9. Hey Monica? Have you been eating to much of this....

...

[saracat]

10. I have shoes older than Crowley, judging by her pix!

She wasn't there to understand anything. The Vietnam War wasn't her war. She should STFU and confine her comments to facts. There is nothing for her to understand or relate to.

[elperromagico]

15. What Fonda did was foolish, but spitting tobacco juice in her face?

Surely there are better ways to give voice to one's anger.

[TreasonousBastard]

16. They're all coming out from under their rocks to...

dump on Hanoi Jane. Just gives them something to say this month in their slimy, supercilious, sanctimonious way.

Half of these people weren't even fetuses (that should have been aborted) when Fonda sat on that gun.

They should all just STFU and watch Barbarella until they are in a vegetative state.

[FredScuttle]

17. I don't condone this quote from the late Michael O'Donoghue

but I certainly understand the anger that led to it:

"I would come over and kick her in her (vulgar term for a woman's privates) if I didn't think it would ruin my shine."

[GalleryGod]

18. Another Monica? How Nice! I bet you she got HER new job...

:rofl: :spray: :rofl: in the same time honored "fashion".

She wasn't "praying" that's for sure!

[Wapsie B]

19. Well well..........

it looks like little Monica has stepped up the rhetoric war here. It's just a matter of time before we see angry reactions focused on the air-brushed bimbos of the airwaves like her.

[underpants]

20. A complete Republican manufactured personality

Her big qualification was that she "worked for Richard Nixon"....of course she didn't work for him in the White House just near the end of his life. She is just another manufactured talking head. Oh and she is blonde.
