If you think the current anti-war movement camouflages an anti-American sentiment, youre only partly right. Rent or buy FTA, the 1972 Vietnam War protest documentary just released on DVD after a 37-year absence. Its the best example of an anti-war brigade which set out to blast America right along with its hawkish foreign policy. And its headlined by big surprise Jane Fonda. FTA captures Fonda, Donald Sutherland, and lesser known artists traveling throughout U.S. military bases, both here and abroad, to protest the war and just about every facet of American life.
And yes, the letter F in the title does stand for what you think it does, even though the tour regulars merrily shout out Foxtrot Tango Alpha in some of their song and dance skits.
The film makes for a fine historical document, even if its entertainment value is hopelessly dated. Clearly, releasing the film anew wasnt mean to reintroduce cobwebbed protest songs to popular culture, and the political skits require plenty of background reading to fully appreciate them...

Is this one of those lame indoctrination attempts under the guise of “aren’t those losers in the dope-smoking crowd cute?”
...and no, I’m not wasting my time watching the piece of crap, no matter how quaint you feel it is...

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.
The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

A Landslide Mandate For Change
Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!
We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-peoples movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all peoples movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.
The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and peoples unity.
There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.
The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Close but no cigar. A constitutional Declaration of War is the proven way to unite a nation for war. No ‘serious consequences’ or double talk hasn’t cut it.
I was in Infantry training at Fort Ord California when her group protested in front of the gate. I lost my first weekend pass on account of that sleazy bitch. I hated her before that, after that, and even more when she made her broadcasts from North Vietnam. I can’t wait for her to die. Sorry, a little harsh, but she is a traitor.
“Weve been protesting Jane Fondas appearance at her new play ever week now for 3 weeks”
You have my undying gratitude, and God bless you. I wish I lived in NY.
I submit that the declaration of war is not the unifying event, but rather, the unifying events are reflected in the declaration of war.
The government in our country is designed to reflect the will of the people.
