Jane Fonda -- QVC Axed Me Over Possible Protests
TMZ ^ | July 16, 2011 | TMZ Staff

Posted on 07/16/2011 11:00:33 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Jane Fonda's controversy in Vietnam is almost 40 years old ... yet she claims QVC canceled her appearance at the last minute because of fears of protests from disgruntled viewers.

Jane was supposed to appear this morning to promote her new book, "Prime Time." But Fonda posted a blog on her site this morning claiming QVC gave her the boot because "they got a lot of calls yesterday criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear."

For all you youngins ... Fonda was photographed sitting on an anti-aircraft gun during a visit to Vietnam in 1972. The incident has dogged her for years, earning her the nickname "Hanoi Jane."

In her blog, Fonda went on to say, "Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us."

Free speech is not free from consequences.

"Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me!..."

What is the lie HJ? There are photos as well as your own words. It is a shame that actions have consequences, even for liberals, but they do.

Well the record certainly is replete with examples of just the opposite.

Whenever stories about POWs getting tortured emerged, Fonda called them lies. When the POWs began coming home in 1973 and their accounts of torture began to gain credence, Fonda called the returning soldiers “liars, hypocrites, and pawns.” "Tortured men do not march smartly off planes, salute the flag, and kiss their wives," she said. "They are liars. I also want to say that these men are not heroes."

"they got a lot of calls yesterday criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear."

'Opposing the war' and 'actively aiding the enemy' are entirely two different things.

The lying arrogance is breathtaking, both from Fonda and the Commie Media providing her cover.

“For all you youngins”, it was MUCH more than that.

Fonda openly and repeatedly attacked our military and gave clear aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war.

Cancelled from a stupid INfomerical channel? Her life should have ended her life at the end of a rope 40 years ago.

she said. "They are liars. I also want to say that these men are not heroes."

And, she knows what a 'hero' is?

She wasn’t jut sitting on the damn thing, she was playing like she was shooting down American jets while sitting on it.
Scum of the earth? Obammy, Bin Laden, Jane Fonda.

She played kissy face with the Viet Cong and gave them a photo op with her butt on an anti aircraft gun.

She should be grateful that our nation lacked the fortitude to execute her for treason, as she richly deserved.

I believe she is creating this “controversy” in an attempt to sell more books.

Fonda protested the war.

Viewers threaten to protest Fonda.

==

I fail to see the distinction.

What WAS good enough for Fonda 40 years ago [the right to protest] is equally good for QVC viewers today.

Although this brand of protestors savaged our soldiers, spitting on them, calling them baby killers, all types of horrid things.

I was only six at the time, obviously I really didn't know what was going on.

That being said, I will and always will take the word of our servicemen over yours Hanoi Jane. You brought it on yourself.
