I post on FR even though there are many who support Obama and or helped facilitate his election by sitting home or voting third party making them no better than the far left.
Do you see and do everything as your pure belief.
do you check to see if your Drs are your political and religious belief
ETL heard your bro’ Jimmy from Brooklyn on Steve Malzberg Show (WOR710) today. You work as hard as he has through the year’s. Love you both for the work and common sense you bring.
Thanks. I appreciate that. :)
I used to burn up at his stepping on the lines and thoughts of his guests until I realized it's a charlatan's tactic to drown out opinions other than his own.
I used to be infuriated at his moral equivalencies and playing both sides of the political fence until I realized he's a coward and personally insecure. He will never get over his Levittown mentality and his fear of returning to that way of living.
Now, I don't analyze him any more. He's not worth the time or effort. I've come to the conclusion he is absolutely the dumbest political opiner on television.
His glibness and airhead opinions and "analysis" hide his laziness in research, preparation and political awareness. He either has the worst research staff on talk show TV or he ignores any help from them.
Worst of all, awash in his unsurpassable ego, he doesn't even realize that we can see most of his sharper guests rolling their eyes and smirking at him on the split screen. They don't even try to hide it anymore when he comes out with some of his off-the-wall profundities.
Laura Ingraham cleaned his clock again tonight. She's about the only one who has figured out how to get a word in edgewise by courageously going mano a mano with him when he tries to interrupt her or throw her off course. Morris, Goldberg, Rove, Miller and other regulars just sit back like good little boys and take it.

Of course not. That's impossible, and a bit crazy. However, I do try to live up to my principles as best I can. Fonda isn't just some dopey naive liberal. She was and still is a hardcore communist, and of course a traitor to our country.
"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."

Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971
From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."

February 16, 1971: Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland form "FTA" (F*** The Army), an anti-war, anti-American road show that tours near Army bases in order to undermine troop morale. Skits and songs portray American defeats, soldiers refusing to fight, and the murder of officers by their troops. FTA cast members mingle with soldiers after the shows, encouraging them to desert or to sabotage the Army.

2009!!! FONDA STILL AT IT!! (in New York City, February, 2009)
From her website...
Rare Screening of Restored Archival Print of Classic Vietnam War-Era Documentary
What: Screening of FTA
When: Monday, February 2, 2009
7:00pm, 9:15pm
Where: IFC Center (map)
323 Sixth Avenue
New York, NY, US 10014
With Former FTA Cast Member Jane Fonda in Person
Monday, February 2 at 7:00pm and 9:15pm
7:00pm show sold out!
FTA (1972, Francine Parker), the Vietnam War-era documentary, will have an ultra-rare screening in a restored archival print with former FTA cast member Jane Fonda in person, Monday, February 2 at 7:00pm and 9:15pm; the 7:00pm show is sold out. Following the screening, Ms. Fonda will talk about the film and her work in the controversial antiwar touring show in a discussion moderated by David Zeiger, director of the recent documentary Sir! No Sir! A portion of the proceeds from the evening will benefit Iraq Veterans against the War, a nonprofit organization that advocates for ending the war and for providing support to returning service members.
Virtually unseen in any format since a brief theatrical run in 1972, FTA documents "the show the Pentagon couldn't stop." The revue, whose letters were said to stand both for Free Theater Associates and also Free (or, at times, another F-word) The Army, brought antiwar entertainment to military personnel at the height of Vietnam. Performers like Ms. Fonda, Donald Sutherland and Holly Near toured towns near military bases around the US and overseas, lending their support to troops who opposed the war. The film follows the troupe as it travels and performs near US military bases on the Pacific Rim -- Hawaii, Okinawa, the Philippines -- encouraging opposition to the war among the rank-and-file of US forces.
FTA is a gritty mix of rollicking performances and GI interviews, juxtaposing lighthearted political satire with the somber realities of war, occupation, and the absurdities of military life, a barbed rebuke to the staid USO program. From Okinawa to the Philippines, stirred by the show's provocative message, the members of the U.S. military find courage to speak out candidly in front of the camera.
Fonda and Sutherland are joined on stage by an all-star cast of musicians and activists including folk musician Len Chandler and comedian Paul Mooney. A fresh look at the Vietnam anti-war movement through the songs and skits that shook a generation, this film will leave you singing along with the fired-up men and women of the military. Foxtrot, Tango, Alpha... F*** the Army!

Tickets: $12 IFC Center members, $15 general admission.

The RCP calls for the armed overthrow of the U.S. government...
From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :
"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":
I suspect it's a little of both.
But in his favor: he always has attractive blonds who aren't total air heads on his segments :^(
If Fonda would have pulled what she did in WWII,
she would have been strung up.
Great dissection of O’Reilly. He stands for nothing.
There are different thoughts on beauty but true beauty is what one believes in, outside beauty is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I know because of my dad. People, women used to tell me how good looking my dad was but they didn’t have to live through the violence he used on the family. Talking your so called hot dad out of blowing your mom’s brains out, was when I decided as a mere child to beware of the so called hotness.
amen
Let us remember that here on Free Republic, we are mostly linear thinking conservatives. As such it is possible for us to maintain two seemingly (though not actually) contradicting conclusions. One, the opinion that the young Jane Fonda was indisputably beautiful, and the other opinion that I, a Vietnam combat veteran have even as I acknowledge her physical beauty, that she was a traitor for whom hanging by the neck untill she was dead would not have been inappropriate.
