Jane Fonda in Naples(FL)for fundraiserI always find it odd (to say the least) that we actually have people on FR promoting Hanoi Jane's world-view. She capitalizes on her father's good name, and uses it to denigrate everything he held dear. I've seen other raving liberals follow that lead. It's sickening.Actress Jane Fonda says her two life missions, activism and social change, are the reasons behind her visit to Naples for a Planned Parenthood fundraiser where she was met with both support and hostility.
She's not shy about speaking out. Whether it be for women's rights or war-time dissent, Fonda is known as much for her activism as she is for her acting - both of which she traces back to the films of her father.
"One after another where he played a character that fought for those less fortunate - where he fought for freedom and equality," said Fonda.
Some argue Fonda is far from embodying those qualities.
"Would everybody have forgiven Hitler if he apologized?" asked Vietnam Veteran Jay Jones.
Veterans haven't yet forgotten about her Vietnam comments. But 34 years later, Fonda once again spoke out against war - this time it was about Iraq.
She says she's used to being met with protesters.
"It makes me sad for them - the protesters because, I know who I am. I know why I do what I do and I know why I have done what I did. I know that there has never been anything in my heart other than caring for my country," said Fonda.
Fonda believes much of her opposition is misdirected anger.
"They've been lied to and put into harm's way because of a lie. But it wasn't my lie. It isn't now and wasn't then," said Fonda.
She says she works under the radar with both veterans and active servicemen. But she puts her work with women's rights at the forefront.
Fonda's passionate work with Planned Parenthood and teen pregnancy prevention can carry controversy as well.
"If we don't allow women to reach their full humanity - legally, socially, economically, and within their homes, we're not going to be able to create sustainable development and we're not going to be able to do anything about poverty," said Fonda.
But there are some who say Fonda's done enough.
"The only thing she should be an authority on is how to commit treason to a country," said Jones.
Fonda will be in town through Saturday where she'll appear at a private brunch in Naples.
Jane Fonda ranks near the top right along with Jimmuh Carter as the two traitors in America most deserving of the highest penalties. History, unless rewritten, will be unkind to these evil entities to the point of shock to decent readers.
"One after another where he played a character that fought for those less fortunate - where he fought for freedom and equality," said Fonda.
It's all make-believe. It's all "Let's pretend." It's all Mickey Rooney saying to Judy Garland, "I know, let's put on a show!!" Jane Fonda even admits here that her views are merely theatrics. She actually boasts that her vision is derived from her father's role-playing -- as if Henry Fonda, playing the role of Lt. Colonel Daniel Kiley, had anything to do with winning the Battle of the Bulge. She needn't add that her whole pampered life has been played for the camera.
Small wonder spoiled brats like Jane look down their noses at everyone else. They never grow up.
