Jane Fonda spitting charges dismissed Kansas City Star ^ \| 08/25/05 \| Kansas City Star A Kansas City municipal judge today dismissed a disorderly conduct charge against a Gladstone man who spit in Jane Fonda’s face four months ago. Police charged Michael Dean Smith after the April 19 incident at Unity Temple on the Plaza, where the actress was signing copies of her memoir. Smith, who served as a Marine in Vietnam in 1970, said he was expressing his anger at Fonda for her actions opposing the Vietnam War. Smith said shortly after the incident that he planned to plead guilty. But at a court appearance last month, a judge “took the case under advisement” and told Smith he would dismiss the charge if Smith stayed out of trouble. Smith stood before the judge for less than a minute today as the charge was dismissed. Smith then filled out paperwork to get his $100 bond back. “It’s over and that’s that,” Smith said.

Cindy Sheehan 'channeling' slain son, CAMPED OUT IN CRAWFORD Casey in heaven 'calls Bush idiot' Cindy Sheehan 'channeling' slain son, says he read her mind at 1-week-old August 25, 2005 By Joe Kovacs WorldNetDaily.com Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is now "channeling" her slain son, Casey, from heaven, suggesting he's calling President Bush "an idiot," and she claims to have "tens of thousands of angels" supporting her cause to bring U.S. troops home immediately. "When I get up [to heaven], he's gonna say, 'Good job, mom,'" Mrs. Sheehan said in a speech last night upon her return to Crawford, Texas. "He's not going to say, 'Why'd you make me spin in my grave?' you know. And I can just hear him saying, 'George Bush, you are really an idiot. You didn't know what you were doing when you killed me. You didn't know what you were getting into.'" She publicly thanked her son as well as others who died in the Iraq War, and claimed to have the backing of those who dwell in the afterlife. "I know that they are in heaven," Sheehan said, "and I know that that's why this movement is growing because we have tens of thousands of angels behind us that are supporting us, that are saying, 'Well, you know we died and that was really crappy, but we hope that our deaths are going to make the world a better place,' and it's up to us to make sure that it does." Cindy Sheehan requires cooling down yesterday to avoid heat exhaustion in Crawford, Texas (courtesy Lone Star Iconoclast) As WorldNetDaily exclusively reported this week, Cindy called the enemies of the U.S. who killed her son "freedom fighters," and she echoed that sentiment with an apparent justification of his death. "Casey was killed by insurgents. He wasn't killed by terrorists," she said. "He was killed by Shiite militia who wanted him out of the country, when Casey was told he was going to be welcomed with chocolate and flowers as a liberator. Well, the people of Iraq saw it differently. They saw him as an occupier." Cindy also reflected on the days immediately after Casey's birth, noting, "I looked in his eyes and it looked like he could tell what I was thinking. That's very disarming when you have like a week-old baby looking at you and you know he knows what you're thinking. And I knew he was going to be a great man. I just had no idea how great he was going to be or how much it was going to hurt me." Sheehan is apparently aware that some have been critical of her motives for continuing to demand a second meeting with President Bush, but she said she's not bothered by it. "I don't care about them talking about me being a crackpot or a media whore, or a tool of the left," she said. "I'm like, if I truly was a media whore do you think I would like maybe get myself fixed up a little bit before I went on? That doesn't bother me at all, but what bothers me so much is when they say I am dishonoring my son's memory by what I'm doing, that my son would be ashamed of me or what they really like to say is that I'm pissing, or sh---ing, or spitting on his grave."
