Jane Fonda met with protest in Frederick; hopes for open dialogue with Vietnam-era veterans

Jane Fonda said she hoped for an open dialogue with veterans after about 50 former military members and supporters protested the actress’s appearance Friday evening at the Weinberg Center for the Arts.

“Whenever possible I try to sit down with vets and talk with them, because I understand and it makes me sad,” Fonda told a relatively full theater, responding to a submitted question. “It hurts me and it will to my grave that I made a huge, huge mistake that made a lot of people think I was against the soldiers.”

In 1972 Fonda visited Hanoi, North Vietnam, where she criticized attacks on the dike system along the Red River. A U.S. investigation later revealed the publicity of these bombings as propaganda. Fonda’s statements and a photograph of her sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft battery outraged many Americans and veterans, leading many to call her “Hanoi Jane” and a “traitor.”

Bob Hartman, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968, said he blamed Fonda for breaking off negotiations among the countries and held her responsible for thousands of American lives.

As one military vet just told me. "Open dialogue? Drop Dead."

Her actions are unforgivable, not they I ever heard her ask for forgiveness.

(1) Issue a full-throated public apology
(2) Donate $10 million to the Wounded Warriors or POW fund
(3) Denounce the Obama administration and Islam

Then I'll watch "Barbarella" again.

The older one gets, the more they consider their legacy. Sometimes, one realizes their legacy is not one to be proud of. Such is life.

A three-time marriage loser: Democrat Activist Tom Hayden, rapist pedophile Roger Vadim, and crazy communist Ted Turner, she’s proven herself to be a shameless opportunistic exhibitionist (Barbarella and it’s opening scene), and an America hating traitor (North Vietnam and her betrayal against an American POW who palmed her a message she immediately gave to the North Vietnamese)....

Old, decrepit and wrinkled she is now searching for self-gratifying rehabilitation (maybe she believes in God now that she fears she might catch sight of him soon).

She can take those hopes to hell with her.

Hanoi Jane, just ESAD, bitch. You are less than worthless. I know former POWs who remember what you did to their brothers in captivity.

What the Left means by open dialog is they talk to you and explain their position; you listen and agree. You are not allowed to present your view or to disagree; that would not be an “open dialog.”

Jane Fonda is an easily manipulated dull wit who never got over her mothers suicide or her fathers indifference toward her.

She is like a mollusk who never found her rock to cling to.

Hey Jane!

YOU are directly responsible for the deaths of American POWs!

On at least two occasions:

1 - Your revealed to the enemy a list of POW SSN’s that were handed to you by a prisoner with the hopes you would forward the information to American authorities.

2 - When a POW insulted you rather than cooperate with your anti-American propaganda video, you told the enemy “Somebody ought to teach him some manners.”

In both cases American POWs died.

How are you going fix that?

"a lot of people think I was against the soldiers.”

Yeah I wonder why they thought that....maybe because you WERE.

(4) And go kill herself.

Yes. I despise her that much.

Exactly. If she has not heard the ‘dialog’ by now, she has not been listening. Her only hope now is to beg for forgiveness.

Jane has realized that her disrespect for the troops is no longer fashionable and she is feels like she is trapped still wearing shoulder pads and big hair. She is as clueless as ever.

Yeah, and lots of people had a lousy childhood. So what? She's an America hating ex hippy. Just like klinton, kerry, and the rest of that trash.
