The sponsor of an effort to honor Jane Fonda in the Georgia state Senate withdrew her resolution Thursday, after a rocky reception from some colleagues and a phone call from the actress' office. Sen. Steen Miles, D-Decatur, said a representative for Fonda, who is out of the country, asked that she avoid the controversy the effort had stirred. "This, ladies and gentlemen, should not be occupying our time," said Miles. The resolution cites the Atlanta resident's work as founder of the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention, donations to Atlanta-area universities and charities and role as goodwill ambassador with the...

A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED - COULD THIS BE TRUE? This is for all the kids born in the 70's who do not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear. Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century." BY BARBRA WALTERS Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Jane Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam. The first part of this is from...

Flipping between Fox and SciFi I caught a glimpse of someone who looked like an aging Jane Fonda. It was. NECN was airing its nicey-nicey interview done recently when Fonda hit Boston to plug her new book, "My Treason Until Now." There was Jim Braudy, NECN's Marxist intellectual puppet, interviewing her. I did watch several minutes, fascinated in the way a bloody car accident draws your attention even while you know you should be looking away. In those few minutes Fonda revalidated every tired Marxist cliche and every anti-military statement she has ever uttered. John Kerry is a "hero" because...

Sir! No Sir! Just saying no Release Date: 2006 Ebert Rating: *** BY ROGER EBERT / Jun 9, 2006 Quick question: When Jane Fonda was on her "FTA" concert tour during the Vietnam era, who was in her audience? The quick answer from most people would probably be, "anti-war hippies, left-wingers and draft-dodgers." The correct answer would be: American troops on active duty, many of them in uniform. "Sir! No Sir!" is a documentary that about an almost-forgotten fact of the Vietnam era: Anti-war sentiment among U.S. troops grew into a problem for the Pentagon. The film claims bombing was...

Jane Fonda has said that she will be leaving the protests against the U.S. presence in Iraq to Cindy Sheehan. However, the DUmmies are definitely looking to their heroine, Hanoi Jane, for advice as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Jane Fonda's message to DU about how to stop the war." Perhaps the DUmmies would like to pose on camera next to an IED just like Jane Fonda did by gleefully sitting at an anti-aircraft battery in Hanoi and playfully pretending to shoot down American aircraft. (Note: I searched the Web but was unable to find the...

Jane Fonda's 1972 trip to North Vietnam is haunting her again. The Georgia Senate on Thursday nearly unanimously defeated a resolution that would have honored the actress' charity work in the state. The Democratic sponsor had tried to withdraw the resolution after a rocky reception from colleagues and a phone call from Fonda's office, but a Republican leader forced a vote, saying members of his caucus wanted to go on record against it. Fonda, who is out of the country, had asked for the resolution to be withdrawn to avoid the controversy, said the sponsor, Sen. Steen Miles of suburban...

Jane Fonda: U.S. Troops Are 'Killing Machines' "Hanoi Jane" Fonda is claiming that ever since Vietnam, U.S. troops have been trained to commit atrocities against innocent civilians as a matter of military policy. "Starting with the Vietnam War we began training soldiers differently," the anti-American actress says in an email to the Washington Post. Fonda claims she learned of the policy switch in "secret meetings" she had with military psychologists "who were really worried about what was happening to our combat personnel." One doctor, she insists, told her U.S. troops had been deliberately trained to be "killing machines." "This began,"...

John Kerry Blames Rush Limbaugh for Iraq Blooper Failed presidential candidate John Kerry blamed top conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh Friday morning for the uproar over his claim that U.S. troops were terrorizing Iraqi women and children. "You know, the only people who are trying to make anything out of that, to be honest with you, are Rush Limbaugh and a few people on the right," Kerry told radio host Don Imus. On Sunday Kerry told CBS's "Face the Nation" that there was "no reason ... that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in...

From her longtime political activism to her Oscar-winning acting, Jane Fonda has never done anything halfheartedly, and she brings this characteristic intensity to her faith. When she talks about "feeling the presence of the Almighty," her view of Jesus, and the way she prays, her voice wells from deep within her chest. You may know this voice from her films (among dozens of others: "Barbarella," "Klute," "On Golden Pond," and currently in theaters, "Monster-in-Law"), or from her aerobics videos ("feel the burn!"), or from film reels from the sixties, when she spoke out against the Vietnam War. Fonda, now 67,...

This is a partial transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," Oct. 26, 2005, that has been edited for clarity. COLMES: Democrats are addressing more serious issues, like the war in Iraq. Earlier today Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) spoke at Georgetown University in Washington. I caught up with him for an exclusive interview after the speech. COLMES: Do you expect indictments to come down toward the White House? SEN. JOHN KERRY: I don't have a clue. I read what everybody else reads. Honestly, I don't know. COLMES: Do you think there should be resignations, with or without indictments? KERRY: Well, I...

email from John Kerry campaign: Dear Stuck on Stupid, Now more than ever, we need leaders we can count on. We need men and women who will stand up for what they believe in and who will lead with their principles. 2005 is a critical election year in Virginia. In less than a month, you can go to the polls to elect new leaders up and down the ballot from Governor to House of Delegates. The challenge is pretty simple - and very real: to create change, we must elect more Democrats at every level of government. Thanks to the...

Sen. John Kerry, losing Democratic U.S. presidential candidate in 2004 and a possible contender in 2008, took on Republican California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday by lobbying against his initiative to curb the power of the state's labor unions. "This represents part of an ongoing effort by the Republican Party to create an unfair playing field, to change the balance of democracy in America," Kerry said. "They are willing to try to take away the democratic rights of working Americans," said the Massachusetts senator, who was speaking to reporters at a fire station with Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

10/9/2005 John Kerry’s Winning Strategy “Go long!” Our friends at Newsmax recently sent out an email alert that deals with, among other issues, a new behind-the-scenes documentary about the ‘04 Kerry campaign. This film looks hilarious, in large part because it was originally intended to reveal the winning strategy behind Kerry’s White House run. Here are some delightful details: It may surprise you, but both John Kerry and Ted Kennedy believe Kerry is the frontrunner for the Democratic nod in 2008. If the pair had any prayer of this, their hopes have been dashed with the release of a new...

John O’Neill Houston, Texas Dear Friend, Last year, when my fellow Swift Boat veterans and I spoke out about John Kerry, you rallied to our side. We will never forget your faith in our cause and your belief in our honesty. It made all the difference. Together we made history. Like most of you, I believed our mission was over. We could all move on with our lives, return to our families and homes secure in the knowledge we had done the right thing for America, and for our children’s future. Regrettably, that has not been the case for a...

WHEN George Galloway was last in America, the New York Post marked the occasion with the headline, “Brit fries senators in oil”. Tonight he will attempt the same culinary feat with Christopher Hitchens, the British-born columnist. In a sold-out debate in New York, the erstwhile guest of Saddam Hussein will try to persuade Mr Hitchens, a born-again supporter of the Iraq war, that the war is a disaster. Mr Galloway said that he hopes things do not get personal, but they already have. He told The Times that if Mr Hitchens chose to get “down and dirty” he would find...

Jane Fonda Cancels Anti-War Bus Tour Jane Fonda told me yesterday she's scrapped plans for anti-war bus trip next March. As well, Fonda will be making only two appearances this month on another rally with controversial British politician George Galloway, not the eight that were widely misreported in the press yesterday. Why the change of plans? Certainly, Fonda is still very much against the war in Iraq and in favor of helping our troops there. But she said that she didn't want to distract people from Cindy Sheehan's bus trip, already under way and gathering support.

Hanoi Jane and Mr. Oil for Food bribe taker, UK politician, George Galloway will be touring the US in September. Little Green Footballs has the dates here. We all know Jane's never ending support for communism, which began when she supported the commies in Vietnam. Galloway, likewise stated, "The worst day in my life was the day the Soviet Union fell." These two losers will team up together, beginning in Boston on September 13th. To call them losers, I suppose has to be an understatement. Communism, once the darling of all liberal ideologies, and once a threat to the world,...

Yes, we have their play book. Over 6 million Veterans served in Vietnam 58,000 of the names are on the black wall in D.C. Now is the time to restore the honor of the 6 million by correcting the wrongful depictions of our Vietnam Veterans. This will happen as we rally in defense of this generation of troops. Then we will go after the educrats who have perpetuated the 1971 Kerry lie. We will find all the text books that wrongfully depict our Vietnam hero's and replace them with the correct accounting of what happened. And then we will go...

John Kerry attends Thompson's blowing-up.

Wednesday, April 7, 2004 10:41 a.m. EDT Kerry: Terrorist Shiite Al-Sadr 'a Legitimate Voice' In an interview broadcast Wednesday morning, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry defended terrorist Shiite imam Muqtada al-Sadr as a "legitimate voice" in Iraq, despite that fact that he's led an uprising that has killed nearly 20 American GIs in the last two days. Speaking of al-Sadr's newspaper, which was shut down by coalition forces last week after it urged violence against U.S. troops, Kerry complained to National Public Radio, "They shut a newspaper that belongs to a legitimate voice in Iraq." In the next breath, however,...

Jane Fonda is a beautiful and talented actress. But for many Vietnam veterans, she is remembered more as a despicable traitor whose betrayal undermined the sacrifices of millions of American soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen – and in the process contributed significantly to a Communist victory in Indochina that led to the slaughter of millions of innocent human beings and the consignment of tens of millions of others to a Communist gulag that continues to rank among the “worst of the worst”[1] among the world’s human rights abusers. My Life So Far is Fonda’s attempt to justify the first six...

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- Sen. John F. Kerry told state legislators Friday the Democratic Party doesn't need to undergo an extreme makeover, saying "the last thing America needs is a second Republican Party." After blistering Republicans on everything from Iraq to health care, Kerry said Democrats have an opportunity to rebuild nationally by simply addressing the concerns that affect people's daily lives -- energy, transportation, health care and security. "We have to go out and fight for the real issues that make a difference in the lives of the American people and we don't need some great lurch to the...

An effort was made to release the controversial documentary "Winter Soldier" during John Kerry's failed 2004 presidential campaign, but industry insiders decided to hold the film back fearing a backlash against Kerry. But with the election safely behind them, "Winter Soldier" -- a documentary which alleges atrocities by U.S. troops in Vietnam -- is set for re-release and is once again causing a stir. The Village Voice reports that last year a movie executive balked at screening "Winter Soldier” during John Kerry’s run for president for fear that it would do him more harm than good. After Kerry won the...

The Fallen Hero and the Living Traitor By Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu FrontPageMagazine.com August 2, 2005 Here is yet another case of the kind of bizarre juxtaposition that continues to characterize the Vietnam War well into the first decade of the new century. I refer on the one hand to the recent loss of Admiral James B. Stockdale, a highly decorated Navy aviator and prisoner of war of the North Vietnamese for seven grueling years. His funeral services were held, appropriately, on the Navy carrier the USS Ronald Reagan with the full military honors the Medal of Honor winner deserved....

See Dick talk. See Hanoi Jane talk. Mark Malaszczyk July 29, 2005 She is nipped. She is tucked. She is enhanced. And she is BACK. Sixty-seven year old Actress/Activist Jane Fonda has announced that she will launch a cross-country bus tour to protest the war in Iraq, scheduled for March 2006. "I've decided that I'm coming out," she said. Green tea drinking, tofu-eating, Birkenstock-wearing, pale, emaciated vegans with multi-colored ribbons all over their tattered backpacks are rejoicing across America, running to get a second tattoo on their lower back and a ninth piercing in their left ear in tribute to...

John Kerry refused to release an honest version of his military records all through the 2004 campaign and repeatedly lied about his service. He paid a price for this deception.Earlier this year, Kerry finally agreed to sign an SF-180 and have an official copy of his military service record made public. Well, of course he lied about that, too.Several weeks ago, PowerLine published pdfs of three forms SF-180 that Kerry had signed, releasing only his active duty records and not his reserve records (aprox. 1970 to 1978), to three specific left wing reporters who work in the Washington, DC area...

FRANCE -- "Hanoi Jane" Fonda seems to have tired of her moniker. The wilted flower child who firmly established her place in American history when she mounted a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun has decided it's time to teach a whole new generation to blame America first. If she actually goes through with her plans for a new protest movement, she may well become known as "Jihadist Jane." It has a better ring. More alliteration. Fonda says she wants to criss-cross the nation in a bus powered by vegetable oil, advocating the end of U.S. military operations in Iraq. She's inviting...

Jane Fonda has worked as an actress and then retired, gotten married and divorced several times, condemned cosmetic surgery and then had eye lifts and breast implants (and later had the implants removed). The list of reversals is a long one, but in one area of her fabled life Fonda has remained resolute. She refuses to pass up an opportunity to take a stand against American foreign policy when U.S. service men and women are fighting totalitarian forces in the world. Famous for posing, smiling, in a photo on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun, Fonda is now planning a national...

Jane Fonda's second coming Cal Thomas July 28, 2005 We've all seen them: aging athletes, beyond their prime, trying to squeeze out one more fight, or one more season, but failing to bring back their glory days. That seems an appropriate analogy for the return of Jane Fonda to the political stage. Having made her first movie in many years ("Monster-in-Law") that was a box office success, Fonda apparently thinks her new visibility gives her a certain credibility to comment on the Iraq war. She has announced plans for an anti-war bus tour next March. Why is she waiting so...

Jane Fonda's "coming out" party! Debbie Daniel July 25, 2005 Well, well, well! While the United States is engaged in combat against terrorists in Iraq, our ubiquitous Hanoi Jane can't seem to get a handle on attaining maximum attention from her most recent book tour promoting herself. Please don't question that statement; what else could she have possibly wanted to do when she entitled her book: "My Life So Far"? Gee, I certainly wanted an update, didn't you? And then today we hear . . . "I've decided I'm coming out," says Miss Fonda. She went on to say, "I...

Knoll & Rendell: Disgraceful remarks Tuesday, July 26, 2005 Sometimes politicians need to stop while they're behind. Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll did a little politicking and offered some political commentary Tuesday last, uninvited, at the Carnegie funeral of Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich. The Marine, 32, of Westwood, was killed in a mortar attack in Iraq on July 10. Mrs. Baker Knoll began talking to Sgt. Goodrich's aunt during the Communion service. She handed the aunt a business card; Knoll called the funeral a "function." Then Knoll told the aunt that the state government was "against the war." Outrageous. Visiting...

Lt. gov. crashed Marine's funeral, kin say Saturday, July 23, 2005 By Tom Barnes, Post-Gazette Harrisburg Bureau The family of a Marine who was killed in Iraq is furious with Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll for showing up uninvited at his funeral this week, handing out her business card and then saying "our government" is against the war. Rhonda Goodrich of Indiana, Pa., said yesterday that a funeral was held Tuesday at a church in Carnegie for her brother-in-law, Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich, 32. ... Then, suddenly, "one uninvited guest made an appearance, Catherine Baker Knoll." She sat down next...

In the annals of feckless non-apology apologies, the one just served up by PA Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll scrapes the bottom of the barrel. Check out the article below, and note this turn of phrase: "If my regard for his family's grief was seen another way, it is thoroughly regrettable." In other words, what is regrettable is not her awful behavior, but the way the Marine's family saw it.

Written apologies will be sent to a fallen Marine's relatives angered by Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll's uninvited appearance at the soldier's funeral and her criticism of the war in Iraq, Gov. Ed Rendell said Sunday. Rendell said he will send a personal letter to the family of the late Marine Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich, of Westwood, and will ask Knoll to do the same. Goodrich, 32, a police officer and infantry unit leader, died July 10 in a mortar attack in Hit, Iraq.

Joseph Goodrich gathered in Pittsburgh for the fallen Marine's funeral, they expected a large crowd – after all, they've lived in the area for generations and Joseph had been a police officer before becoming a leatherneck – but they didn't expect to see Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor show up, hand out her business card and tell them "our government" opposes the war.
