For many it\u2019s a much needed job. Look how young she is, yet so wise and committed. \u201cWe can\u2019t just rely on the hope that Obama has brought us,\u201d she told the audience. \u201cWe have to get off our asses and make sure we organize and speak out for what we feel is right.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fonda appears to have learned her lesson from Vietnam and seems to support the troops, but allowing knucklehead liars like Grogan to have a launching pad so they can call the troops hopelessly retarded criminals is just as bad as spitting on them. I&#8217;d like to see Grogan&#8217;s research on exactly how many troops are given the military as their only escape from prison. She ought to spend some time recruiting.<\/p>\n<p>I also found this quote from the &#8220;wise and committed&#8221; Grogan who charges our troops with violating their oaths and being enemies of the Constitution;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I look at it in a really concrete way. As an officer, as well as enlisted Marines, we are always charged with the promise to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and right now we&#8217;re violating that Constitution, and that&#8217;s my main concern,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We&#8217;re going against something that we promised: We&#8217;re going against our oath. We&#8217;re contradicting the Constitution in a way.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to see her legal brief on that charge.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of Grogan hanging out with David Zeiger, the producer of Fonda&#8217;s &#8220;FTA&#8221; Vietnam-era anti-war &#8220;documentary&#8221; of Fonda and Donald Southerland&#8217;s attempts to end that war (I wrote about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=7359\">the movie and the attempts by IVAW to use it as a fundraiser<\/a> last month);<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/feb2blog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/feb2blog-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"feb2blog\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/feb2blog-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/feb2blog.jpg 457w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I guess this is how Fonda atones for her sins of the Vietnam era &#8211; by letting other people spit on the troops for her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toni at Bear Creek Ledger emailed me this morning about perpetual traitor Jane Fonda&#8217;s new blog &hellip; <a title=\"IVAW&#8217;s Marlissa Grogan perpetuating the lie\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=7608\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">IVAW&#8217;s Marlissa Grogan perpetuating the lie<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,37,47,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-ivaw","category-liberals-suck","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7608\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
