'Hanoi Jane' Fonda is teaming up with a leading anti-Bush 527 group in a bid to register millions of women voters to cast their ballots for her old anti-war protest partner, John Kerry.
Fonda, who called President Bush a "radical ideologue" during a campaign stop in New York City last week, was asked about her latest move during a recent interview with CNN's Paula Zahn, and explained why she's come out of political retirement to back Kerry:
ZAHN: Let's talk a little bit about this partnership you have with MoveOn.org, an organization that has spent tens of millions of dollars to try to defeat George W. Bush. Is it your primary goal to elect John Kerry?
FONDA: Our primary goal is to try to get the 50 million women who are eligible to vote and have not voted to vote. We want the woman's voice to be in the body politic.
ZAHN: But the fact is, Jane, with the vast amount of money that MoveOn.org has spent running ads against President Bush, is there any way you can encourage women out there who would be inclined to vote Republican to come to the polls?
FONDA: We're the majority. If we voted, we would make a difference. We could decide who was elected. We could decide whether the person elected, man or woman, was going to care about and speak to our issues. . . . .
ZAHN: Jane, I find it hard to believe when you talk to these 50 million women out there that didn't vote that you just want them to vote their hearts. You really want them to vote for John Kerry, don't you?
FONDA: I'm not putting myself, nor am I asked to be in either campaign. I'm just saying that I know that if women voted and they voted with their hearts and with their bodies and their souls, that the future would be more safe, because that's where our hearts are.
ZAHN: But you personally, obviously, are more comfortable with Kerry.
FONDA: I'm a Democrat. My father would strike me dead from the heavens if I ever voted for a Republican. Ted could never understand: "You've never voted for a Republican?" I can't do that to my father, who was a yellow dog Democrat. What can I say? [END OF EXCERPT]
Zahn then broached the sensitive subject of the Vietnam War, which Fonda and Kerry protested together in 1970 and 71, prompting the controversial actress to share her insights into why so many Americans still hate her.
ZAHN: Jane, you have spent a number of years trying to put your controversial Vietnam past behind you. And yet for the last week or so, we have seen a tremendous amount of news coverage on George W. Bush's service in the national guard and questions being asked about John Kerry's service in Vietnam.
What does that tell us about how raw the feelings are to this day about the Vietnam War?
FONDA: It tells us that they're raw. It tells us that we have not healed. We need to heal from this wound, because it's very directly connected to what -- to the new wound. We haven't learned, you know, the lessons of Vietnam.
ZAHN: Jane, you have apologized to the families of Vietnam War vets, saying that maybe you have said some things that you wish you hadn't said along the way. Do you think you'll ever be able to satisfy people to this day who question what you did in Vietnam?
FONDA: No. There's a lot of people who -- who -- it's a cottage industry to hate me. And if they -- if they stop, that might mean that they'd have to look at some things that would question their own identity. And that's -- it's very hard for people to do. [END OF INTERVIEW]
Yes, yes. Whatever happened to women thinking for themselves? And she name-drops both daddy and 'Ted'. Look at all the powerful men I've known! So I too am powerful! lol
Fonda is the ignorant lying communist bitch she has always been......
It's only natural for her to come forward in Kerry's troubled race to attempt to salvage his run for the White House..
Fonda's belief that women voting "their hearts" is good for America is laughable..
It was women voting their hearts and not their brains that gave us Clinton -- twice!
The founders were right to deny them the vote.....
Semper Fi
Please put this traitor up against the wall and I will do the rest.
This is great news. Another evidence that Kerry's campaign is imploding. Great material for another commercial by the Swift Boat Vets to put Ho Chi Kerry, Hanoi Jane side by side protesting and vilifying our Vietnam heroes. I can see Paul Begala, James Carville, and Alan Colmes having seizures.
How anyone can look these heroes in the eye and still say that they are going to vote for John Kerry, is WAY beyond my ability to comprehend.
"This is great news. I hope the Vietcong step up to the plate too, by Hanoi Jane's side."
Well, we do know that a recent poll of the Vietnamese who came to this country to escape Jane Fonda's Communist wonderland support our president 71%. (We also know the Muslim fascists support zKerry by 78%.) I know with which group I will be aligned on election day.
Part true, part not true. She did enough bad stuff without having to embellish parts of it.

Jane got screwed up when she was a little girl and her mother slit her own throat from ear to ear in an asylum and died. Henry Fonda didn't miss a beat. He lied to his kids that their mother had a heart attack and performed in a play that evening and married the younger woman later that year.
Let Hanoi Jane endorse Hanoi John, it makes it all the easier to recall the traitourous actions both of them were involved in.
What a completely ignorant slut. I'm sorry, but there isn't a nice term that can be used to describe her that comes close to calling her what she really is.
She has the nerve and enormous ego of someone who still thinks they should command attention. She's nothing but a a washed up old prune faced hag...and Fonda is too.
LOL - in re your tag line, maybe you need a bumper sticker that says "Pro-Choice = Anti-Democrat"; or if you you are concerned about nearby Lib heads exploding, "Pro-Choice = Pro-Republican"...8^D
Remember about six years ago, when Jane Fonda reportedly became a Christian and attended Bible study with the wife of a former governor (I don't think it was Zell, but maybe) in Georgia? Did that really happen or am I mistaken? Because you sure wouldn't know it by some of the stuff coming out of this woman's mouth.
Uh, Jane, some of us women just like to vote with our brains! It could really make a difference if you tried it once.
TC
So much for her apology to the senior president Bush.
FONDA: Our primary goal is to try to get the 50 million women who are eligible to vote and have not voted to vote. We want the woman's voice to be in the body politic.
Are there really that many women in this country who are eligible to vote and haven't? I'm not sure I believe the number is that high...maybe so, though.
Sorry, the fact her ma slit her own throat does not excuse Fonda's traitorious behavior. Otherwise, we'd have to excuse the mass murderers Lenin (brother hanged for plotting tsar's assassination); Mao (son killed in Korean War); Hitler (had to live on the street cause he couldn't find a job); Genghis Khan (angry for life because some "they" killed his father). Jane Fonda is responsible for her own actions, period.
Jane - you apologised - I did not accept it.
You were my fantasy babe till you went north - in a heartbeat you were sh*t in my mind and still are.
In the profound words of Dick Cheney ... FU - Just FU - in this life and all everlasting.
You can never wash the stigma off - and neither can your buddy John F'en Kerry.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggg
I have got to get over this! It grates on my soul. Anyone know a good exercosist?
Safe? Why is this little witch so blind to the millions and millions of innocent people that have died under communist/totalitarian rule? Communism, terrorism, totalitarianism is far from safe.
