Jane Fonda was on 3 times this week talking about her new book. . . And how good she feels in her 70's. . . She still does not know what she did wrong. . . Her book just may not make the bestseller list if more people knew.
Barbara Walters said : Thank you all. Many died in Vietnam for our freedoms. I did not like Jane Fonda then and I don't like her now. She can lead her present life the way she wants and perhaps SHE can forget the past, but we DO NOT have to stand by without comment and see her "honored" as a "Woman of the Century."
For those who served and/or died. . .
NEVER FORGIVE A TRAITOR. SHE REALLY WAS A TRAITOR!!
And now President Obama wants to honor her!!!!
In Memory of Lt. C. Thomsen Wieland, who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton [infamous North Vietnam prison] --
IF YOU NEVER FORWARDED ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE. FORWARD THIS SO THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW!
A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE H ONORED . KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA.
This is for all the kids born in the 70's and after who do not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear.
Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century."
Barbara Walters writes: Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton."
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper... Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.
I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)
We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget.

PLEASE HELP BY SENDING THIS TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE SEE THIS MAYBE HER STATUS WILL CHANGE. A lot of people are too young to remember the Jane Fonda debacle and may wonder why Obama is honoring her. Here is why he shouldn’t.
Almost every time I take a leak at a stand up urinal, I remember the traitorous bitch and wish they still had those nifty cakes with her face to go on.
Welcome to Free Republic...
She knows what she did.
And she’s still proud of it.
Every time I take a dump.
I should buy a cases of Jane Fonda urinal cakes and hand them out for free at VFW posts.
Not to worry—in the end, God will judge her.
Barbara Walters said that?
Awwww, I read the headline and my brain put it into past tense, reality wiped the smile off my face : (
I went through a phase, a few years ago, where I almost forgave “Hanoi Jane”. I thought, “It’s been all these years and life is too short to hold on to hatred of anybody forever”.
The problem is that in giving aid, comfort and propaganda to the enemy she helped prolonged the war and cost American lives. There is blood on her hands as surely as on LBJ’s. I hope she burns in hell.
I hate Jane Fonda. When I was in the service some dependents were complaining that neither the Marine’s nor Navy’s exchanges would sell or rent Jane Fonda’s workout. The Chief of Naval Operations at the time said that as long as he was alive Jane Fonda’s workout would never be available on any of his bases.
Just before I moved from New Jersey to Houston, TX, I made a trip to Waterbury CT where Jane Fonda was shooting a movie. I had joined some Viet Nam vets who were part of a “welcoming party”.

COMMIE
TRAITOR
BITCH
It was a fun time.
Warmed my heart. These guys don't forget, and I don't either. She was and is scum of the highest order. In my opinion, when she wasn't prosecuted for treason, then we made the decision as a nation not to ever prosecute treason again.
I understand why the founders put such a high bar on treason because of the way it was used by The Crown, but not prosecuting her? I never have understood that.
PLEASE HELP BY SENDING THIS TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK …I think I will pass, TYVM.
What is your take on it? Do you think she should be forgiven, or are you tired of people bringing it up?
I served two combat tours in S Vietnam...Jane Fonda does not exist in my world....She is nothing....
Just when you think that Barack Obama has reached the possible limits of betraying this country, he reaches down and finds ONE MORE THING. Honor Jane Fonda? No way.
