I grew up during World War II. My childhood was influenced by the roles my father played in his movies. Whether Abraham Lincoln or Tom Joad in the Grapes of Wrath, his characters communicated certain values which I try to carry with me to this day. I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn’t have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him. I grew up with a deep belief that wherever our troops fought, they were on the side of the angels.
For the first 8 years of the Vietnam War I lived in France. I was married to the French film director, Roger Vadim and had my first child. The French had been defeated in their own war against Vietnam a decade before our country went to war there, so when I heard, over and over, French people criticizing our country for our Vietnam War I hated it. I viewed it as sour grapes. I refused to believe we could be doing anything wrong there.
It wasn’t until I began to meet American servicemen who had been in Vietnam and had come to Paris as resisters that I realized I needed to learn more. I took every chance I could to meet with U.S. soldiers. I talked with them and read the books they gave me about the war. I decided I needed to return to my country and join with them—active duty soldiers and Vietnam Veterans in particular—to try and end the war.
And you're wrong: Jane Fonda was an active leader in the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice, a CPUSA front group. She founded and ran Save our Soldiers, a recruitment effort to try to snare some of the less-committed active duty troops to her cause. She ran the F--k The Army (FTA) "guerilla theater" outfit to subvert military discipline and unity.
Kerry only met with the enemy once, as far as we know - Fonda was in continuous communication with them, along with her doofus husband, Tom Hayden.
Don't fall for "poor little actress" scam: she was a cold-eyed, committed revolutionary and an America hater of the first rank.
She cannot deny she gave ‘aide and comfort’ to the enemy.
WinterSoldier.com has the only complete set of transcripts of Fonda's 1972 broadcasts on Radio Hanoi.
Note the similarities to the "war crimes" propaganda of John Kerry, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and generations of leftists since then.
In one of his books, Mike Wallace wrote about how he shared a cab to the airport with Jane Fonda and could not believe how out of touch she was with what was going on in the world.
Go do a sit up Jane and shut up.
Fonda will FOREVER be known as... Hanoi Jane....and never forgiven for it......
Dead or alive...Fonda will FOREVER be known as... Hanoi Jane and never forgiven for it......there will be a long waiting line to pi$$ on her grave as well
Please tell everyone you know....
“Don’t buy this book, don’t watch, buy or rent the stupid Robert Redford movie portraying the Weather Underground as patriots trying to save the country!”
They need to be shown that everyone remembers their lies.
She’s STILL a communist. A very wealthy one at that. And she wants MORE money, through the sales of her book and exercise tapes. Wouldn’t that make her a dirty stinking capitalist?
Agreed Mach 9. Treason is not just a military crime, but I understand the difference between a guy who used the military to advance his political career and a actress who while wrong, believed she was doing right. But her daddy should have bent her over the hood of a car and used a strap on her behind! Kerry should have been put in Federal Prison.
Maybe you should have met with some of the many many valiant Vietnam vets who could have taught you some truth. Instead, you became a tool of the traitorous scum minority (such as Jon F'N Kerry, et.al.) who took advantage of your blind commie naivety, Janey.
You might be able to blow smoke up the a$$es of younger people, HanoiJane, but we older veterans of that era remember your treasonous actions VIVIDLY.
I hope I outlive that commie turd so I can spit on her grave.
There must be recordings in her voice that are being suppressed.
On screwing Commies at the door. Is there any proof of this?
If true, the line: “Jane, you stupid slut!” would be appropriate.
I have a perfect picture for this thread if someone can tell me how to post it.
There is the Vietnam war...
The China Syndrome
Wasn't she involved in the ending of pesticides and DDT? (millions of dead from malaria after that)
and .. Dear God.. middle age fatties in SPANDEX thanks to her exercise videos
She should just say I was STUPID and I was WRONG and leave it at that
She was NOT some doe-eyed innocent - if anything, she was far more competent, far more committed than that imbecile Kerry. Don’t let her Barbarella act fool you: she’s a cold-eyed, rattlesnake-mean traitor who knew EXACTLY what she was doing.
Jane, the truth is that you went to a country that was our enemy in the middle of a war and gave them aid and sustenance. Thats called “Treason”. You disgraced your dear father and the whole country. You need to just thank God you weren’t brought up on charges and put in prison for 30 years. You have lived a life of luxury and fame ever since. STFU.
It was Rachel Carson who went to war on DDT.
When old Jane was young, she said it was only WWII vets who were against her - she never heard a word of abuse from Viet Nam vets. (Another lie, I know.)
What’s her excuse now that Viet Nam vets are against her? Those who fought in Iraq have never said a word against her?
She’s a genuine crackpot. The first and last time I saw her she appeared to be on drugs - downers, probably.
P.S.: About a year or two ago, she gave an interview to a British newspaper in which she said one of the rooms in her Atlanta house was shaped like an ovary or vagina, I forget which.
The interviewer called her “barking mad.”
