A Traitor and Her Comrades March on Washington

Charlotte, NC (TLS). A traitor and her comrades marched on Washington Saturday, demanding an immediate withdrawal from Iraq and the impeachment of President Bush.

The quintessential traitor, Jane Fonda, for the first time today threw her support behind the demands of withdrawal from Iraq. Hanoi Jane has thus far kept a low profile amid the demonstrations against the Iraq War that George Soros and his gang of thugs at Moveon.org have planned.

Obviously, Hanoi Jane could keep quiet no longer. There she was, in the familiar role of denouncing the United States during wartime and demanding that our soldiers be sent home immediately. She was joined by the usual suspects in these events, Susan Sarrandon, Sean Penn, Rep. John Conyers, and ultra-liberal Democrat presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.

In actuality, Ms. Fonda is risking arrest by appearing at such blatantly anti-American rallies, and rightly so. In 1972, at the height of the Viet Nam War, it was Jane Fonda who not only protested the war but traveled to Hanoi, North Viet Nam to meet personally with Communist oppressors about her support for their cause.

During that infamous trip, Fonda did the following, according to numerous press reports around the world: she praised the North Vietnamese, posed for a photo at a Communist anti-aircraft gun emplacement, made several radio broadcasts for the Communist North Vietnamese in which she called American military leaders 'war criminals,' then when some of the POWs returned home and described mistreatment by the North Vietnamese, she said Americans should '...not hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars.'

Thus, not only did Fonda commit treason of a high and aggravated nature, but she referred to our POWs returning home as hypocrites and liars. Tell that to Senator John McCain, who to this day still carries in his body the scars and marks of the inhumane, torturous treatment by the North Vietnamese Communists.

The very fact that this anti-American traitor is still allowed to roam our streets spouting her denunciation of her own country makes my blood boil.

The fact that she would go to Hanoi and meet with the enemy during wartime, communicating to said enemy her support for their cause and her denunciation of the United States government, constitutes the perfect textbook example of the term 'treason.' The U.S. Constitution defines treason very specifically. Fonda's actions during the Viet Nam War fit that definition perfectly. For her crime she was never arrested, never prosecuted, never tried in a court of law, and never punished for her crime according to the terms of the Ccnstitution.

Treason is the one and only crime for which the Constitution provides a specific definition, and declaring that only Congress has the right to impose the proper penalty. Congress at one time exercised this right in calling for persons who committed treason to be put to death.

There is no statute of limitations on a capital felony of this magnitude.

If we were living in the America envisioned by the Founders, a Constitutional Republic governed by specific enforceable laws, such a blatant case of treason would not be allowed to slip through the cracks. However, since the America of today has obviously become a nation that is not governed by its Constitution, which for 200 years kept it free, it is no surprise that the likes of Hanoi Jane was not prosecuted for her heinous crimes, but is allowed to continue to roam the streets today still spouting her anti-American propaganda.

She should be placed under arrest and given a chance in a court of law to defend her actions in Hanoi during the Viet Nam War.
