Unfortunately Not Our Soldiers ... Jane Fonda As Barbarella Pictured Above With Another Woman Undermining The War Effort Jane Pictured At Left On North Vietnamese Anti Aircraft Gun

'Baghdad Jane' Fonda Has It Wrong Edward I. Koch Newsmax.com / Jan. 30, 2007 The old "celebrity protester" crowd is back. There they were in Washington, on the mall: Jane Fonda, formerly known as "Hanoi Jane," has now become "Baghdad Jane;" Danny Glover, and Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins - husband and wife - exhorting the crowd against President Bush and the war in Iraq. The crowd's signs read, "No War Is A Just War." Not even the war against Hitler in World War II? Another sign read, "Bush = Evildoer." Really? The President believes, as I do, that the...

When I was a young teenager, the boys loved the sexy Jane Fonda in Barbarella. After I became an American soldier and a Vietnam veteran, she was "Hanoi Jane" to all of us. We were disgusted when she became a revolutionary and a communist sympathizer who sat on North Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns and gave aid and comfort to our enemy. Now Hanoi Jane has become "Jihad Jane," and she has decided that the terrorists of the world who cut off people's heads and blow themselves up to kill innocent men, women and children are not as bad as the Americans...

I finally found a link to Jihad Jane Fonda’s over the top remarks regarding the US withdrawal from Vietnam, and the ensuing massacre of South Vietnamese and Cambodians: ( BOR Talking points memo ) "What do you think about what happened to the three million Vietnamese and Cambodians who died after the U.S. troops left Vietnam?" FONDA: "It’s too bad that we caused it to happen by going in there in the first place. " The remembrances of the Cambodian killing fields are to many people reduced to photos of neatly stacked bones and skulls for the records of posterity....

Aquarius Sunset by Cal Thomas Posted Jan 30, 2007 The ideologically decrepit anti-war crowd returned to Washington last weekend for a reunion. The older among them abandoned hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of Vietnamese to imprisonment, torture, death and re-education camps. Their demonstrations were encouraging to the communist Vietnamese, sending the message that America lacked the will to win. These aging hippies and their progeny now want to do the same to millions of Iraqis, who have democratically elected their leaders. This is the sunset of the “Age of Aquarius.” Yesterday, when they were young, they were the pampered generation...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House spokesman Tony Snow could not resist a good-natured jab at actress Jane Fonda for appearing at an anti-Iraq war protest nearly 35 years after she earned the nickname "Hanoi Jane" for protesting Vietnam. "You know, I mean, it's nice to see Jane Fonda in front of a camera again," Snow told reporters when asked about the march on Saturday. He did not elaborate. Fonda, 69, joined tens of thousands of anti-war protest on the National Mall in Washington. In 1972, she made waves by appearing before the cameras as she sat on a North Vietnamese...

For her next act, Jane Fonda has entered the war against the Iraq war. At the tail-end of yesterday's on-the-Mall rally, organized by United for Peace and Justice, Fonda stood onstage with the Capitol behind her and addressed the sun-drenched thousands. "I haven't spoken at an antiwar rally in 34 years," she said. But, "Silence is no longer an option." The first time Fonda, 69, spoke out for peace, the country was soul-deep in the Vietnam War. In the ensuing decades, as the nation has gone through a slew of changes, so has Fonda. As a young woman, the daughter...

Much to the delight of those of us who thought that the legal concept of treason was dead in the water in these politically correct times, American convert to Islam and al-Qaeda propagandist Adam Gadahn is being charged with treason and providing material support to al-Qaeda. Otherwise known as aka Azzam al-Amriki or "Azzam the American," Gadahn's anti-Western video rants on behalf of al-Qaeda have become an all too familiar sight these days. Not to mention his call for Americans to convert to Islam or die and for authors such as Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson and Daniel Pipes to repent...

They Dare Call It Treason SPA (Finally)By Henry Mark HolzerFrontPageMagazine.com | October 13, 2006 In a stunning reversal of United States policy that has been in place since the end of World War II, turncoat citizen Adam Gadahn has been indicted for the constitutional crime of treason. (The second count of the indictment charges him with the crime of providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.) Eight treason indictments and convictions of Americans came out of World War II. One resulted from mistreatment of prisoners of war held in Japan. Two arose from spying activities in the United...

In a commentary on Nixon’s declaration that he has made progress in ending the war and particularly in ending American involvement in the war, visiting American actress Jane Fonda said Monday morning: ((Recorded voice of a woman with an American accent – FBIS)) As the elections in the United States are drawing near, Richard Nixon is using the most cynical and criminal kinds of lies and trickery to fool the American opinion and world opinion into believing that he is trying to end the war in Indochina. How can he be ending the war when he is killing more people...

Judging Jerry's judgment WILLIAM E. SARACINO The Republican nominee for California attor ney general, state Sen. Chuck Poochigian, is exceptionally well qualified for the office through both experience and temperament. That being said, his electoral success largely depends not so much on his ability to convince voters that he'd make a good attorney general, but to convince them that his opponent, Jerry Brown, would be a disaster. If Poochigian can focus Califor nian's attention on one straightforward point — that the A.G.'s job all comes down to judgment — the door will be open for him to show that, in...

Jane Fonda, King Arthur Battle in Sweden With Sweden's general election too close to call, some of the smaller parties - from the serious to the absurd - grabbed some limelight on Friday. American actress Jane Fonda visited Stockholm to drum up support for the Feminist Initiative, a fledgling party with slim chances of winning enough votes for a seat in parliament. Speaking to some 300 supporters in a sun-filled central Stockholm square, Fonda, 68, called on Swedes to show there are "brave people in this country to support the feminist party." With opinion polls showing a real chance that...

HOLLYWOOD - Movie star and activist Jane Fonda has blasted President George W. Bush on national TV because his international politics make her worry for the safety of her grandchildren. Speaking on advertising mogul Donnie Deutsch's nightly chat show on Thursday, the actress got angry when she was asked to explain her feelings for Bush. She fumed, "I am so frightened for this country and if we don't see change in the mid-term elections... I have grandchildren and I have never in my 68 years been so frightened for what's happening to our country. "We're turning the world against us....

Greenstone launches all-women radio talk network By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss NEW YORK (Reuters) - Greenstone Media, a radio company whose founders include social activist Gloria Steinem and actress Jane Fonda, has launched an all-women, all-talk network across the United States. Steinem said the network, which is run by women, aims to provide an alternative to current radio talk, which she describes as "very argumentative, quite hostile, and very much male-dominated." This network "has a different spirit. It has more community. It's more about information, about humor, about respect for different points of view and not constant arguing," Steinem told Reuters in...

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...

Iraq War: Tom Hayden has a new war to undermine, a new enemy to succor and a new Jane Fonda to attract the cameras. His stepped-up activity represents a growing alliance of Islamofascists and the far left. It's not good news. Last weekend, the one-time Chicago Seven riot conspirator and radical Santa Monica state assemblyman paid a visit to Amman, Jordan, along with anti-war "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan and other fringe leftists, to meet anti-American Iraqi politicians. One is Sunni dead-ender Salman al-Jumaili, who seeks the expulsion of U.S. troops from Iraq. Others are radical Shiites. They've all found new...

Celebrities roast actress Jane Fonda By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 38 minutes ago ATLANTA - Actress Jane Fonda was on the wrong end of a celebrity roast Thursday, the target of spirited insults from actresses, comedians and — horror of horrors — her ex-husband. ADVERTISEMENT CNN founder Ted Turner was among the celebrities who zinged the two-time Oscar winner to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention, a group that aims to suppress the state's teenage pregnancy rate. "She's one of the most beautiful women I've met," said the billionaire...

Jane Fonda Declines War Protests 30 minutes ago Jane Fonda says she would like to tour the country and speak out against U.S. involvement in Iraq, but her controversial history of Vietnam War protests leaves her with "too much baggage." "I wanted to do a tour like I did during the Vietnam War, a tour of the country," the Oscar-winning actress said Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America." "But then Cindy Sheehan filled in the gap, and she is better at this than I am. I carry too much baggage." Sheehan, whose soldier son, Casey, died in Iraq in 2004,...

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...

68-Year-Old Jane Fonda Is New Face of L'Oreal Jane Fonda is the surprise new face of L'Oreal, heading a lucrative advertising campaign at the age of 68. The star joins a glittering list of celebrity spokesmodels including Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz after signing to front L'Oreal Paris anti-ageing treatment. The $700,000 contract will see Fonda endorse the face cream on billboards and magazines, and the actress - who is a vocal critic of cosmetic surgery - insists she is perfect for the role.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Jane Fonda's name still raises the blood pressure of many Georgia veterans more than 30 years after her famous pose on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun. So the idea of honoring "Hanoi Jane" for her recent charitable and public service work didn't go over too well with at least one member of the Georgia Senate on Wednesday. Sen. Steen Miles (D-Decatur) (steen.miles@senate.ga.gov) introduced a resolution recognizing the two-time Academy Award-winning actress for her efforts to help women and children globally, particularly her work as the founder and chairwoman of the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention. Senate Resolution 1189 seemed...

ACTOR and political activist Jane Fonda says coalition forces should leave Iraq and has labelled the conflict "disgusting" and "despicable". Fonda, once dubbed Hanoi Jane for her opposition to America's role in the Vietnam War, said too many lives were being lost after an invasion of Iraq that was based on lies. "I think it is a crime, a tragedy, disgusting and despicable," Fonda said in Sydney. "It is almost beyond comprehension how we could have been brought into this war based on lies and continue to lose so many lives, both American and Iraqi. "It makes my skin crawl...

Coffee and Me Fonda Protest Missing -- Tour No Where in Sight December 23, 2005 Jane called President Nixon a “warmonger” for sending U.S. troops against the Vietnamese in their sanctuary of Cambodia. Nixon replied that Fonda and kind were “a bunch of bums.” At a Washington rally Fonda welcomed her “fellow bums,” clenched her fist and declared “Power to the people.” What Jane Fonda meant by people power was interesting. Thomas Kiernan, writes, “as they made the long drive…across the South [Jane and Elizabeth] had time to reflect.” As a French Communist, Elizabeth Vailland was loyal to the Soviet...

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,"...

'Hanoi' Jane Fonda, whose anti-U.S. activities during the Vietnam war remain an anathema to most Americans, is helping to bankroll New York Sen. Hillary Clinton's reelection campaign. The woman who sat behind a North Vietnamese gun installation and pretended to shoot down American pilots donated the maximum - $2,000 - to Hillary's campaign coffers, the New York Daily News reports in Wednesday editions. Earlier this year Fonda told Time magazine that she "hopes for a Hillary Clinton presidency." The politically radioactive actress had also been a sleepover guest at the Clinton White House. Mrs. Clinton has been struggling to reshape...

American POWs are "Hypocrites and Liars" When American POWs began to return home and describe the tortures they had endured at the hands of the North Vietnamese, Jane Fonda told the country they should "not hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars." "These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed." The POWs who said they had been tortured were "exaggerating, probably for their own self-interest" "Never in the history of the United States have POWs come home looking like football...

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.
