From POW Mike McGrath: "Get Off Fonda's Back!"
Loren Rosenblatt
Subject: Fwd: Re: More NAM-POW comments reference Jane Fonda
To all: This note from Mike McGrath, president of the National POW/MIA
organization, should be the final word on this subject.
Sorry to bother you with a long message, but I thought you needed to see a
message that I sent to some folks who were establishing web pages with
completely false stories which had been submitted to them as true stories.
They agreed to stop after learning that they had received bogus information.
NAM-POW names of: Jerry Driscoll, Larry Carrigan, and A.J. Myers have been
connected, falsely, with the below stories. If any of you see these false
stories passed around the net from group to group, please send a copy of
this
message to the sender and try to get this nonsense and slander of McCain,
Driscoll, Carrigan, and A.J stopped.
Thanks, Mike McGrath, President of NAM-POWs....
(1) There is a bogus story floating around about Larry Carrigan, Jane Fonda,
torture of POWs, death of POWs, strips of paper, notes given to Jane, etc. I
just thought you should know that this is all bull crap propagated by
someone
for some unknown purpose....probably to bolster some hate against the
traitorous witch. I'm not defending her, we all hate her as much as the next
person, but you need to get your stories straight. Jerry Driscoll is my
Secretary/Treasurer.
I just talked to him. Same for A.J. Myers. They had nothing to do with the
article attributed to them. They ask that we get their names off that bunch
of
crap. Tonight I talked with Larry Carrigan. He asked that we get his name
off
all that crap as well.
He never left a room to talk to anyone like that. No torture or beatings to
see Fonda. He was living with Bud Day, John McCain and a bunch of hard nosed
resistors during the Fonda visit...lots of witnesses if you want to question
him (or them). Larry was never near Jane. There were never any POWs killed
on
account of Jane. (Did anyone ever provide a name of one of these tortured
fellows?)
That story about the notes has a nice theatric touch, but no such thing ever
happened. The only ones who met with Jane willingly, to my knowledge, were
CDR
Gene Wilber and LCOL Ed Miller. One NAM-POW was forced to go before the
Fonda
delegation. And I think that was only to sit at a table for a photo
opportunity. I doubt he even got a chance to talk to her let alone slip her
a
note. To my knowledge, the worst that happened to the rest of us was that we
had to listen to the camp radio (Radio Hanoi and Hanoi Hannah) with the
Fonda
propaganda. It pissed us off, but I doubt you can call that "torture."
So, if you get a chance to SHUT THIS STORY DOWN to the groups who are
forwarding it, PLEASE DO SO. You can cut and paste this paragraph if you
want
to. Doubters can come to me if they need to.
Mike McGrath,
President of NAM-POWs.
POW 30 June 67 to 14 March 73.

NOTE: I am fully aware of the hate for fonda folks, but this story is from
one
who knows and was there. Let's try to honor the wishes of our former POW's.

I don't really give a rats ass if he has been promoted to God. She sat on a
North Vietnamese Anti-Aircraft gun mount for a photo opportunity. She
called American flyers killers. She can suck swamp water. She will never
be rehabilitated.
That's my final word on Fonda.

If I may inject a point here. I believe Mike McGrath's point is that what
Jane Fonda did was reprehensible and unforgivable. However, the story that
is circulating about her is phony. If the phony story continues to
circulate and is regularly shown to be phony, then we are in danger of
reaching the point where no one will believe the true story.
Similar to the tale about the little boy who cried "Wolf!" He did it so
often that when the real wolf arrived, no one believed him. It's best that
we shut down this phony story and spread the facts about her treachery.
Just one man's opinion.

How many times do I have to tell you, I did not vot for willy, but he did a
better job than GW is doing.
Look at the stock market, Investers do not trust him. He should be in Japan
working with then on their problems that are partly the cause of the market
going down.
\
Instead he is out trying to convence the Americans that Very Rich deserve a big
fat tax cut.
The market did not go down like it is now when willy was in, the investors
trusted his managment.
Looks like the market may go down another 50% before it hits the bottom.

Come on now! You have no one to blame for your loses in the market
than yourself. Christ! we have been told for over the last four or
five years that the market is overvalued. Maybe you should have
invested in commodities like Hillary Clinton did and make a $100,000
profit in a matter of days. Besides only fools put all there eggs in
one basket.
