CANNES, France (AFP) – Peter Fonda launched a four-letter attack on US President Barack Obama at the Cannes film festival on Wednesday, calling him a traitor over the handling of the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill.
The star of the 1969 road movie "Easy Rider" was in Cannes for the premiere of "The Big Fix" by Rebecca and Josh Tickell, the only feature documentary in the official selection at the Cannes film festival this year.
Fonda -- a keen environmentalist and co-producer of the film which centres on the explosion of the BP oil rig Deepwater Horizon, the ensuing spill and its consequences -- accused Washington of trying to gag reporting on the issue.
"I sent an email to President Obama saying, 'You are a f(expletive) traitor,' using those words... 'You're a traitor, you allowed foreign boots on our soil telling our military -- in this case the coastguard -- what they can and could not do, and telling us, the citizens of the United States, what we could or could not do'."

Just about sums up my life. Fortunately I changed heading around the age of 22.
Once sex could kill you, the whole 70's thing wasn't so appealing anymore.
There are even more drugs being abused today. They just come with a copay and a plastic bottle from an institutional drug pusher, who unlike your pusher in the 70's, is more than happy to feed the stuff to your children. Heck the school demands it!
Wasn’t he nominated for an Oscar for that movie?
Thank You Peter Fonda.
Jealousy is such an ugly emotion...
I don’t know about that. Sounds like he was pissed for all the right reasons.
The only thing I remember about Peter Fonda is him being in Easy Rider and then many years later, Ulee’s Gold. He never made headlines like his witch sister that I can recall so isn’t it possible that he isn’t an irrational, leftist maniac? His dim witted sister is still getting out and letting her commie colors show brightly. I just don’t remember Peter Fonda doing that.
You mean Peter Fonda and his sister Fonda Peter. She WAS the easy rider.
SOME people are VERY easily led.
“When you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything”
That’s what I thought. Don’t remember too much about the movie though except that it was depressing; much in the same way Oridinary People & Terms of Endearment were.
A most powerful statement to we whom survive.

Peter needs to have a serious talk with his sister.
Seems there are many shadow powers behind Obama including Soros. The control of energy and oil is power, independence and wealth. All of which are being intentionally transferred away from the US

Another Hollywood entertainer thinking he’s somehow enlightened as to what is important in the world...a little too much acid there, Petey. Go throw a party or something...buy a $50,000 plate at a dinner - old atheist fool.
