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.”

Yep, hope she and McCain are close enough for a two hour walk between them.

Then I can unload again.

The communist traitors are getting traction in Seattle. Hanoi Jane is stumping for Pramila Jayapal pushing for her re-election and every other extremist left wing initiative - like climate change. Pay attention, folks...the communists/socialist playbook now is to infiltrate at the state and local level (right down to school boards and city councils) to eat away the republic from the inside out. https://www.seattlepi.com/local/politics/article/Connelly-Jane-Fonda-to-volunteers-Canvass-as-if-13221415.php

Can we train the horses in a large corral to go over there and take a dump on her grave daily?

He’s at the naval academy. She’ll probably be in BH cemetery.

I just wish she’d slip back under her rock.

She’s be a jackass her entire life.

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

Agree.

The second most important thing a parent can teach their son is to stay far, far away from liberal women. The corrosive effects of a feminazi in the home is incalculable.

The first, of course, is to see to it he comes to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
