Too Little, Too Late: Fonda ‘Will Go to My Grave Regretting’ ‘Hanoi Jane’
newsbusters.org ^ | 9/25/2018 | Gabriel Hays

Jane Fonda has a new biopic being released on Netflix this week called Jane Fonda in Five Acts, so of course sat down for a tell-all with USA Today to talk about her life in the limelight, her struggles with insecurity, and that infamous anti-war photo prompting millions to dub her “Hanoi Jane” -- something she says she deeply regrets.

Published on Monday, the article presented the profile of a woman, who hadn’t (until recently) ever felt comfortable in her own skin. Fonda detailed how the early suicide of her mother, the aloofness of her father, and the pressure of life behind the camera led to a difficult and insecure life.

Maybe the fact that she grew up a bit unmoored and unsure about herself contributed to the fact that she got behind lefty progressive activism. USA Today wrote that “Fonda is often identified with her progressive political activism, most memorably expressed in her opposition to the Vietnam War. Fonda’s visit to North Vietnam drew fierce pushback that exists today.”

As it should. She gave aid and comfort to America’s enemies in the form of a PR coup. She broadcast communist propaganda to U.S. military personnel, and the NVA stopped beating seven even American POWs long enough for her to be filmed meeting them.

Then, of course, there’s the infamous picture of Fonda sitting behind a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun peering up the sights just like her hosts did when U.S. warplanes appeared over head. It went beyond anti-war and into treason.

It’s taken decades, but “Hanoi Jane” has admitted that it was a dumb move. She told USA Today, “I’m naive and I make mistakes,” adding that “It was a betrayal … I will go to my grave regretting that.”

Sometimes you gotta sacrifice EVERYTHING for what you believe. No doubt she's suffered terribly over the years. /S

B.S. Here's hoping for a speedy departure biotch! Buh bye!

Sorry Hanoi Jane, that will be engraved on your headstone.

What’s she selling this time? Every time she’s got a product or a movie, she’s a-pologizin’.

Just the opposite. I’m betting it’s the proudest moment of her life and she basks in the glow of disrespecting our soldiers and our country. What gets me is that Tokyo Rose, Axis Sally and Lord Haw Haw all went to jail and they were under duress.

Huh,

I wonder if the local VFW will take the Hanoi Jane urinal stickers out of the urinal now?

Nothing a good flaying won't cure.

“She told USA Today, “I’m naive and I make mistakes,”

You’re a traitor and should have been prosecuted as one.

When she croaks, the local 7-11 will run out of 6 packs.

Progressive political activism?

Outright calls for submitting to the Communist boot and committing acts of naked treason

Her greatest leftist coup was marrying Ted Turner and getting him to turn CNN into another leftist propaganda medium.

CNN started as a moderate network. Ted Turner’s desire to be accepted by the NE liberal elites gave the left an opening to co-op Turner. Fonda divorced her Uber leftist husband Tom Hayden and immediately started seeing Turner. CNN began to turn almost immediately.

Haw Haw and Axis Sally weren’t under duress and at the end of the Nazi rule, drunke Haw Haw was still proclaiming the Reich’s greatness on air. The British were right to hang him.

This pair was akin to Michatl Moore post 9-11

Fondabitch is 81 years old; made a pact with Satan and so won’t croak for years to come.

I was in RVN when she was in Hanoi calling us babykillers and war criminals. Later she called returning POWs hypocrites and liars for describing torture by the NVAs.

Fondabitch has had it both ways for fifty years now.
