This is Jane Fonda. During my two week visit in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, I've had the opportunity to visit a great many places and speak to a large number of people from all walks of life- workers, peasants, students, artists and dancers, historians, journalists, film actresses, soldiers, militia girls, members of the women's union, writers.
I visited the (Dam Xuac) agricultural coop, where the silk worms are also raised and thread is made. I visited a textile factory, a kindergarten in Hanoi. The beautiful Temple of Literature was where I saw traditional dances and heard songs of resistance. I also saw unforgettable ballet about the guerrillas training bees in the south to attack enemy soldiers. The bees were danced by women, and they did their job well.
In the shadow of the Temple of Literature I saw Vietnamese actors and actresses perform the second act of Arthur Miller's play All My Sons, and this was very moving to me- the fact that artists here are translating and performing American plays while US imperialists are bombing their country.
I cherish the memory of the blushing militia girls on the roof of their factory, encouraging one of their sisters as she sang a song praising the blue sky of Vietnam- these women, who are so gentle and poetic, whose voices are so beautiful, but who, when American planes are bombing their city, become such good fighters.
I cherish the way a farmer evacuated from Hanoi, without hesitation, offered me, an American, their best individual bomb shelter while US bombs fell near by. The daughter and I, in fact, shared the shelter wrapped in each others arms, cheek against cheek. It was on the road back from Nam Dinh, where I had witnessed the systematic destruction of civilian targets- schools, hospitals, pagodas, the factories, houses, and the dike system.
As I left the United States two weeks ago, Nixon was again telling the American people that he was winding down the war, but in the rubble- strewn streets of Nam Dinh, his words echoed with sinister (words indistinct) of a true killer. And like the young Vietnamese woman I held in my arms clinging to me tightly- and I pressed my cheek against hers- I thought, this is a war against Vietnam perhaps, but the tragedy is America's.
One thing that I have learned beyond a shadow of a doubt since I've been in this country is that Nixon will never be able to break the spirit of these people; he'll never be able to turn Vietnam, north and south, into a neo- colony of the United States by bombing, by invading, by attacking in any way. One has only to go into the countryside and listen to the peasants describe the lives they led before the revolution to understand why every bomb that is dropped only strengthens their determination to resist. I've spoken to many peasants who talked about the days when their parents had to sell themselves to landlords as virtually slaves, when there were very few schools and much illiteracy, inadequate medical care, when they were not masters of their own lives.
But now, despite the bombs, despite the crimes being created- being committed against them by Richard Nixon, these people own their own land, build their own schools- the children learning, literacy- illiteracy is being wiped out, there is no more prostitution as there was during the time when this was a French colony. In other words, the people have taken power into their own hands, and they are controlling their own lives.
And after 4,000 years of struggling against nature and foreign invaders- and the last 25 years, prior to the revolution, of struggling against French colonialism- I don't think that the people of Vietnam are about to compromise in any way, shape or form about the freedom and independence of their country, and I think Richard Nixon would do well to read Vietnamese history, particularly their poetry, and particularly the poetry written by Ho Chi Minh.

BTTT!!!!!!
Anyone know if theres a photoshopped pic of a headstone shaped like a urnial with her name on it ?
.....when she heads for hell I wanna be able to flush when I pay my respects to this cunning runt........
bump
She knew she couldn't make any money over there. It is so sickening that some one who is so commercial would go over to Nam and carry on all that shit in a place where it is crime to make a profit, the run home and continue to build her riches and marry one of the World's most wealthy men. Gag me, just frikin' gag me!
Oh, we're ready, like we've never been before.
I looked around on the web ( to post so anyone could protest having this slime in their city) and couldn't find the *itch's tour schedule. Wonder why a commy loving, sleazy *unt like here doesn't make it available? Hanoi Jane, hope you rot in hell, for the hell you've caused on earth.
LOL....Wow thems some HiTech Crappers.........LMAO !!!
Judging by the size, they expect a lot of... vistors.
Or a Socialist Democrap venue where they are sure their full of it.....
Yea.
...& I'm disappointed.
And insoding, ideally set an *excellent* precedent for the years to follow.
Nixon's failure to respond appropriately resulted in emboldening America's Liberal-Socialist-Communist left to heights that've brought 'em all the way to 2005.
I guess to be fair -- & in hindsight -- had Nixon given the traitorous SOBs their just desserts and the rest of history remained as it happened? (ie Watergate & his subsequent resignation)
A newly elected POTUS-flake from GA would've pardoned the miscreants, and the quisling media quickly coronate Nixon the "new" Joe McCarthy for his troubles.
Yup, as sure as God made little green apples it'd have gone down just like that.
Sad, but true.
As it is the old bag shows up again 30 years later like a bad penny, face lifted so many times it's about to *pop* just so she can shill a book few want to read.
Then -- although we dopes aren't supposed to be able to figure this out -- the parasite sets out "touring the country" in a bus powered by vegetable oil, allegedly, to "protest Iraq"!!
I think we can agree it's pretty clear the *express* purpose of this *tour's* to attempy breathing life into her tanked book sales.
Y'know Brian, her fate?
...it's meeting a fittin' end. ;^)
Thanks for the ping!

Bump/ping.
Please read around some more. Jane Fonda is notorious. http://www.restoringamerica.org/archive/veterans/hanoi_jane_aid_comfort.html
Do a google search on Hanoi Jane - you'll learn.
She is a number 1 traitor!!
PS - from the link.
Or at least, let’s stop it sometime during March 2006.
Why wait till then, you ask? Why not take up this important cause sooner, like, well, now?
Because, unfortunately, Ms. Fonda’s demanding schedule will not allow for it.
+++
LOL! Her demanding schedule!
Who in the world wants to see this old has-been.
Can I say it here? Jane, you ignorant slut!
Jane Fondue - raw meat in a red sauce
