This week I read that Jane Fonda is being honored by the USC School for Dramatic Arts. "The Robert Redford Award for Engaged Artists honors an individual who has used his or her fame to significantly bolster public awareness of important social issues," Madeline Puzo, dean of the USC School of Dramatic Arts, said in a statement Monday morning. "It is our hope that this award will inspire students to be socially engaged in their lives and through their art." I happened across that information online. It made me think back on the many ways in which Fonda has been...

Every America-hating leftists dream come true, being praised by Hanoi Jane. Jane Fonda, ‘Peace, Love and Misunderstanding’ Star, On The Occupy Movement and The Legacy Of ’9 To 5′ — HuffPo Huffington Post: Again, your character is a war protester. What’s your opinion of the Occupy movement? Jane Fonda: Right on! I say right on! It’s an important, wonderful movement. It doesn’t fit the mold. HP: Is that what you like about it? That it doesn’t fit the mold? Jane Fonda:I think that’s what allows it to be successful in its own way. Because it has no leader; it has...

It is unconscionable that extremist groups circulate letters which accuse me of horrific things, saying that I am a traitor, that POWs in Hanoi were tied up and in chains and marched passed me while I spat at them and called them ‘baby killers. These letters also say that when the POWs were brought into the room for a meeting I had with them, we shook hands and they passed me tiny slips of paper on which they had written their social security numbers. Supposedly, this was so that I could bring back proof to the U.S. military that they...

Jane Fonda returns to Broadway in 2009 after an absence of more than four decades.The Oscar-winning actress will star in "33 Variations," a play by Moises Kaufman about a present-day musicologist (played by Fonda) and her study of Beethoven's fascination with a particular piece of music. Kaufman will also direct. The production will open this winter at a theater and date to be announced, producer David Binder said Monday. "I am very excited about being in Moises' new play," Fonda said in a statement. "I can't wait to get back on stage with him in this role that I understand...

Fonda pissed all over POW's and allowed herself to be used for propaganda by the North Vietnamese. The photo (at right) of her looking through an anti-aircraft gun is as iconic as any from that war. She was a traitor against her nation as much as Tokyo Rose (the Ruth Hayakawa version), Robert Hanssen or Alger Hiss. There's two things that are is as ingrained in military life today as they were forty years ago: Your recruiter screwed you and Jane Fonda is a still a f***ing traitor. Both will never go away.

In case Jane Fonda’s marriage to Ted Turner wasn’t evidence enough that she’s nuts, consider her new blog (click link). The washed up actress and exercise guru has decided to grace us with every mundane detail of her life, not to mention her wacky political opinions. Like this one: “Joining us was Marlisa Grogan, Captain in the US Marine Corp (29 UES). I had never met her before and was very impressed. She has such a deep understanding of why it is important for us to support active duty members of the military who are anti war or, at least,...

The septuagenarian actress is treading the boards in a production of 33 Variations, Moisés Kaufman's play about a woman investigating the creative genius of composer Ludwig van Beethoven during his "later" period. Jane Fonda now, and in 1968 when she appeared in the notorious Barbarella Ms Fonda was last seen on the Great White Way in 1963, when she performed a critically-acclaimed turn in Eugene O'Neill's Strange Interlude. Speaking about her return to Broadway after a 46-year hiatus, the 71-year-old said she looked upon her new play's four-and-a-half month run as an "adventure". "That's how I choose to think of...

If you think the current anti-war movement camouflages an anti-American sentiment, you’re only partly right. Rent or buy FTA, the 1972 Vietnam War protest documentary just released on DVD after a 37-year absence. It’s the best example of an anti-war brigade which set out to blast America right along with its hawkish foreign policy. And it’s 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...

February 16, 1971: Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland form "FTA" (F*** The Army), an anti-war, anti-American road show that tours near Army bases in order to undermine troop morale. Skits and songs portray American defeats, soldiers refusing to fight, and the murder of officers by their troops. FTA cast members mingle with soldiers after the shows, encouraging them to desert or to sabotage the Army.http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=Timeline _____________________________________________________ From Fonda's website, February *2009*...

SOMEBODY at the Sundance Channel must have something against Jane Fonda. Before Saturday's preview of "33 Variations," her first Broadway performance in 46 years, Vietnam War vets picketed the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, still riled up about her 1972 visit to North Vietnam, where she straddled an anti-aircraft gun and gave her support to the enemy. *snip* "FTA" stands for "[Bleep] the Army."

AN old skeleton has emerged from Jane Fonda's closet to remind us of her traitorous embrace of the North Vietnamese, which got her dubbed "Hanoi Jane." Docudrama Films is re leasing on DVD a long-suppressed documentary called "FTA," a k a "[Bleep] the Army," which chroni cles the anti-war shows Fonda staged in front of GIs. The flick opened in theaters in 1972 the same week she flew to Hanoi and encouraged the Vietnamese com munists to fight "American impe rialists."

Gathering of Eagles Action Alert Who: Hanoi Jane Fonda in NYC What: Support Our Vietnam/Iraq Veterans Rally Where: 230 West 49th Street, Between Broadway and 8th Avenue When: Saturday, February 21, 2009, 1 pm to Whenever

The following is an after action reprt of the righteous freeping of Communist Traitor (rhymeswithHillary) JANE FONDA. Kudos to Gathering OF Eagles New York and VVA for participating, and also the various Freepers in attendance.

NEW YORK — It's been decades, but Jane Fonda still can't shake her "Hanoi Jane" image from the Vietnam War. About a dozen Vietnam veterans and other protesters on Saturday picketed the theater where the 71-year-old actress is starring in the Broadway play "33 Variations," telling passers-by that she had once visited their communist enemy in Hanoi.

Jane Fonda’s reputation as a reprehensible traitor and left wing thug has been well chronicled for nearly 40 years. The behavior of this wretched vermin during the Vietnam War should have led to her arrest and deportation to North Vietnam for permanent enslavement by the communist murderers with whom she conspired against brave American men and women in harm’s way. Unfortunately, Hanoi Jane survived her war on America and is still a poster child for the communist party in America. Albeit, she now comes with multiple lays of wrinkles and sans the beauty marks of 40 years ago, but to...

NBC apologises for Jane Fonda's offensive word Fri Feb 15, 2008 12:38am GMT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Television network NBC apologized for itself and actress Jane Fonda on Thursday after she used an offensive word on the "Today Show." NBC called it "a slip" and said they did not mean to offend audiences. Fonda was on the program on Thursday with playwright Eve Ensler to discuss Ensler's award-winning work, "The Vagina Monologues," in which women talk about their sexuality using frank language about their bodies and references to genitalia. "Vagina Monologues" has spawned a movement called V-Day that aims to...

Jane Fonda said what on national morning TV? Rhymes with runt.

Hanoi Jane Fonda looking through anti-aircraft gunsights used to shoot down US pilots Jane Fonda, the darling of the looney left, turned 70 today. Rad-libs are offering their tributes. For example, Rosie O'Donnell wrote the following wonderful poem: oh what a night truly it was somehow what i thought show biz would b and look in the end it turns out it is my loud off key voice is too close to the flip when bonnie sings who knew jane fonda 70 and fantastic i love her so As loyal Americans and creative conservatives, we can do better than that....

On the remote chance that Jane Fonda didn't realize how loved she is, her private 70th birthday celebration at the Biltmore in Midtown Thursday night served as a testament to the significant place she holds in the hearts of friends, family and even a certain ex-hubby. Poets, politicos, playwrights, fellow Oscar winners, stepchildren, co-stars and TV execs all flew in for the celebration, an unprecedented $2.4 million fund-raiser for Fonda's Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention.

It might help the drought that so few flowers are left to water in Atlanta, so many having been thrown at Jane Fonda to celebrate her 70th birthday.The AJC predictably gave her glowing coverage, with only the mention that Fonda has to deal with criticism by Vietnam veterans. Here is one Vietnam veteran who is bothered far more by how the media portray her than by Fonda herself.Now that the threat of communism is gone, the Cold War stand against it is sometimes ridiculed, likened to looking for boogeymen under the bed. Fonda's own affinity for communism is brushed aside...
