Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem and Rosie O'Donnell are backing a new leftwing radio network that plans to appeal to women listeners and counter what the dominance of conservative talk radio that their network says is "dominated by a male point of view." The new talk radio network is called GreenStone and will be officially launched on September 12, 2006. Its Web site describes it as "a clear alternative to the polarizing, highly political talk commonly heard on AM radio." Unstated but clear is that GreenStone is at war with Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage and dozens of other hosts...

FMA Posted by ro @ 8:59 pm in Uncategorized I am sure the troops in Iraq, the forgotten victims of Katrina, the people being gauged at the gas pumps are grateful that President Bush is focusing on the central issue facing our nation: how to bar gay Americans from someday maybe getting the right to obtain a civil marriage license. Bush first announced Federal Marriage Amendment in feb 2004 – since that day 1,943 American soldiers were killed in Iraq.

One of the most recognizable women of our time, Jane Fonda—actress, activist, feminist, workout guru, entrepreneur, and philanthropist—examines her “life so far”. As Fonda relates her story, what emerges is a full portrait that transcends the many labels that have been used to define her as well as a cultural history of our nation’s last forty years as her life has woven through our times. “Coming to see my various individual struggles within a broader societal context enabled me to understand that much of my journey was a universal one for women. …. I’m proof that you teach what you...

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?

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,"...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

Fonda promotes book in Santa Fe NATALIE STOREY | The New Mexican July 24, 2005 As actress Jane Fonda explained her troubles with intimacy and cheating husbands, Charles Powell, a tall man, stood in the shade behind the crowd and watched her intently. Fonda was at Garcia Street Books in downtown Santa Fe on Saturday morning to sign her book, My Life So Far. Powell’s U.S. Air Force cap towered above the hundred eager, largely female faces. He did not carry a copy of the book like many of the others. But he didn’t show up to protest. Instead, he...

Carlton SherwoodDear Friend:Last year, when John Kerry was running for the Presidency, I wrote and produced the documentary, Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal. I am proud to say I was one of many Vietnam combat veterans who stood up to expose Kerry's betrayal of all those who served in Vietnam -- particularly our POWs still being held by the Communists in 1971. That's when Kerry testified before the U.S. Senate that American troops were murdering hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese civilians, and that such atrocities were authorized and approved by the entire U.S. military chain of command.The election is...

Fonda flick doesn't fly in Hardin County By JOHN FRIEDLEIN The owner of Hardin County's two movie theaters is refusing to show the nation's top-grossing movie.

Cambridgeshire, England Actress Jane Fonda said she was considering studying in Cambridge during a visit to the city on Tuesday. The Oscar winner, political activist and fitness guru was in the city as part of a visit to Britain to promote her autobiography, My Life So Far. In an interview with BBC Look East she said she was thinking about returning to study theology and feminism there. "It (Cambridge) is so beautiful that it is just breathtaking. I hope I come back," said Fonda, 67. "I am thinking about studying here if I can persuade my daughter and grandchildren to...

An American Traitor: Guilty As Charged By Henry Mark Holzer and Erika HolzerFrontPageMagazine.com | June 10, 2005For three decades Jane Fonda obfuscated, distorted and lied about virtually everything connected with her wartime trip to North Vietnam: her motive, her acts, her intent, and her contribution to the Communists’ war effort.  With the aid of clever handlers, she so successfully suppressed and spun her conduct in Hanoi that many Americans didn’t know what she had done there, and, more important, the legal significance. Three years ago, our book, “Aid and Comfort”: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam (McFarland & Co.), laid bare...

Police said they arrested a man for spitting on two-time Academy Award-winning actress Jana Fonda during a book-signing stop in Kansas City Tuesday night. Fonda, 67, spoke at Unity Temple, in The Plaza shopping district, about her new best-selling book, "My Life So Far," and her new movie with Jennifer Lopez called "Monster-In-Law." At about 9 p.m., police said, a man who had been waiting in line for about 90 minutes, passed a book to Fonda and then spit a large amount of tobacco juice into her face. They said the man then ran away and was taken into custody...

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. - The owner of two Kentucky theaters has refused to show the new Jane Fonda film "Monster-in-Law" because of the activist role the actress took during the Vietnam War.

"Hanoi Jane" Fonda attacked George Bush this week as a "radical ideologue," while calling her old anti-war protest partner John Kerry a voice of "moderation." In New York City this week as part of her "Vagina's Vote" campaign to register women to vote, she and other feminist stars headlined a rally at Harlem's Apollo Theater Monday night. According to London's Guardian newspaper, when a reporter asked Fonda about the photo of her and Kerry together at a 1970 Vietnam War protest, she reacted by drawing a parallel between that war and the war in Iraq. Saying Bush's decision to go...

Jane Fonda to Undergo Hip Replacement LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jane Fonda will undergo hip replacement surgery after finishing publicity tours for her upcoming film and autobiography, her publicist said Thursday.

"Monster-in-Law" is Fonda's first movie since "Stanley &...

To many, maybe even most, Americans, Jane Fonda is the Wal-Mart of activist celebrities - a category killer when it comes to personifying the loathsome limousine liberal, that subspecies of Hollywood Democrat which, in some tellings, is more responsible for the great Republican political ascendancy than the end of the Cold War, Bill Clinton's zipper problems, or George W. Bush's tax cut strategery. As her new autobiography, My Life So Far, makes clear, Fonda helped create the very template of the Movie Star As Social Conscience. In the late 1960s and early '70s, bra-less and still sporting her trendsetting shag...

'Feminist Christian' regards Bible as 'metaphor' © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Actress Jane Fonda, whose conversion to Christianity was first reported by WND in 2000, distanced herself from "fundamentalists" in a recent interview, saying she regards the Bible as a metaphor, reads extra-biblical gospels and is still searching for a church. Fonda explained to New York Post columnist Liz Smith that she's a "feminist Christian," distinguished from fundamentalists. "I don't want to offend anyone," Fonda said. "But I believe people have different ways of approaching The Word. For me, it's metaphor, written by people a long time after Christ died. And interpreted...

Praise for the President Jane Fonda (search) has called President Bush a "radical ideologue" — but that opinion didn't stop her from praising the first family in an interview this week. Fonda told the New York Post that First Lady Laura Bush's controversial comedy routine at the White House Correspondents' Dinner was "really funny. Her approval rating is way up, as it should be." And when the interviewer criticized the president's performance at a recent news conference, Fonda came to his defense saying, "I thought he was very impressive." And, she added, "I don't know him, but I have always...
