Fugelsang takes on Megyn Kelly bashing Jane Fonda(my personal idol)....

[jodymarie aimee]

Ever notice how Megyn Kelly - and everyone else who says "Hanoi Jane" - never want to bash the civilian politicians who sent 58,000 Americans to die in that war; just a young actress's naive protest of it. FUGELSANG.

[samnsara]

1. how old was Megyn then?

[JHB]

6. Two.

[brewens]

2. I love Jane! Julia is my favorite movie of hers. n/t

[jodymarie aimee]

3. and at that time Jane

was hanging out with Donald Sutherland, John Kerry and Tom Hayden....swoon....

[shanny]

4. ...sent 58,000 Americans to die

and the biggest reason was being unwilling to admit their mistake / lose a war.

Prestige, baby. Our government at work.

[PatrickforO]

13. No, our government being hijacked by the military-industrial complex

Ike warned us about, and who took over our budget process shortly after the death of JFK.

[shanny]

20. The lies in Vietnam were well known long before the death of JFK

and hijacking of our government began long before Ike warned us about it. Rs and Ds both bear plenty of responsibility for this, even the ones we like.

It is kind of a if-a-tree-falls-in-the-forest thing: if our government does the bidding of the MIC, no matter who is in charge, isn't the MIC (+security state) our government?

[brush]

28. Ike not only was the last decent Republican president, he was also the last legally elected one.

He had the guts and decency to warn us of the burgeoning MIC he was witnessing.

[shanny]

34. I do agree with that.

Actually, he may be the only decent Republican president in more than a century.

[samplegirl]

5. Megan Kelly

Is a twit! What will she do when her looks run out?

[pangaia]

10. Looks?

I find her to be a plastic wind up doll.

[IluvPitties]

15. She's very attractive physically, but her personality is ugly as sin.

[tblue37]

24. She is pretty, but from some angles she has a prominent, pugnacious jaw that

to me embodies her personality and her right-wing barracuda manner.

[flotsam]

35. From the mists of memory:

prognathous
: being or having a jaw and typically a lower jaw that projects forward especially to an unusual degree
The umpire, a veteran of dim visage with a cigarette jutting out from his prognathous jaw, was diligent about sweeping the plate, but his strike zone tended to bounce. —Richard Conniff
a prognathous fish

[pangaia]

26. I don't find her pretty at all..

But then I don;t like okra or brussel sprouts either..

[not fooled]

25. Once a Fox stooge

always a Fox stooge.

She delivered the propaganda at faux. Now she wants us to believe she's a credible journalist.

Yet another faux retread goes down in flames at NBC.

[WhiteTara]

31. get more botox. nt

[superpatriotman]

7. And millions and millions of Southeast Asians

Let's please not forget that.

[robbob]

19. Thank you!

You beat me to it! I was going to post:

“You ever notice how everyone who brings up the 58,000 Americans who died in Vietnam conveniently neglects to mention the 6-10 million Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laostians who lost their lives?”

...but I’m snarky that way. I do not think history will look kindly on what American empire building wrought in Vietnam.

[Orrex]

8. Nor do they talk about the lying racist sexual predator who bought five deferments

[brush]

29. Of all his glaring faults I hadn't heard of Cheney's sexual assault history?

[Orrex]

30. Zing!

[thbobby]

9. Megan Kelly

peddling hatred and stupidity. Who the fuck is she to criticize Jane Fonda? Kelly's bullshit sells. Jane Fonda was fighting a brutal, criminal war that killed millions of people. An American Hero being criticized by an American Idiot.

[marble falls]

11. Big deal, so Fonda sat on an NV AA battery. Kelly worked at Fox. Who's really the anti-American...

traitor. Jane gets a pass in this Viet-era vet's book, Kelly needs a tarring and feathering.

[bronxiteforever]

12. The present commander in chief had heel spurs and the leader

Of the US Senate had optic neuritis when the call to serve came up.

[LittleGirl]

14. Kelly needs to go back to Fox spews where she belongs. n/t

[turbinetree]

16. Hey Kelly, there are over 58,000 names on a wall in Washington, (did you go down and look at it)

some of us know the names of some of those men and woman on that wall.

Some of us were protesting trying to keep those names off that wall ---------------your a hack, a right wing traitorous hack you have no idea what it was like, to be sent to a country and could not "vote", but we could die, and there were some that were protesting and they also died on colleges campus, by the national guard----------you really don't know how good you got it, my attitude is re-instate the draft....................so your kid and you understand, whats it like to get a notice.......




November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

[gemini60616]

17. AMEN!

Thanks for the perspective turbinetree!

[turbinetree]

18. Your welcome

[llmart]

23. Good post and absolutely correct.

She needs to be fired for her tirade. I'd love to see them let her go. She's awful.

She can't hold a candle to Jane Fonda in the intelligence department.

[turbinetree]

33. That woman is a self righteous hypocrite and traitor to this country

She doesn't know what it was like to get hit with police batons, protesting and using our first amendment rights, to express our grievances, she has no idea, that a friend of mine was running across Tan Son Nhut Air Base, and 120 millimeters rockets were raining down, and him getting blown to pieces and the authorities finding his dog tag, and parts of body, and his left foot and having his body shipped home in plastic bag and metal coffin----------------------nope she sits behind a tv show, to spew her right wing sh*t making millions trying to use her platform to attack a woman, and everyone in that generation, my generation, while she makes millions spreading her sh*t, what has she done to save human beings lives........................not much in my opinion, she and her right wing faction are traitors in my book........................
And has for her intelligence, sh's and has nothing on Fonda.

The country has a media conglomerate giving her millions and are a disgrace to those men and woman that died, so that they can give this person millions to present false facts, and give her a platform to be like the trumptv show-------------------its about money

21. Jane Fonda was right.

As I remember, part of Fonda’s actions in Vietnam was in response to Nixon’s plan to bomb the farming and river dikes that would result in the deaths of 250,000 people. That was the significance of her picture at the anti-aircraft guns.

[pangaia]

27. And the whole Fonda episode vis a vis Vietnam is very complex.

She even apologized for some of what she later felt was mistaken on her part AND explained about that all too infamous gin photo, which was not what it appeared to be.

[RockaFowler]

22. Great tweet from Bill Weir (CNN) regarding Megyn Kelly

Link to tweet

A decent host might drop by the green room before the show and ask an 80 yr-old the best way to broach a sensitive topic but @MegynTODAY
would rather attack the guest for being offended.

Meanwhile, real journalists are forced to take cuts so NBC can pay her ginormous salary.

[joanbarnes]

32. What about 'Moscow Trump?'
