Not so fond of Fonda fawning

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 18, 2007 12:32 PM

The Atlanta Journal Constitution showered Jane Fonda with love on her 70th birthday last week.

One Vietnam Vet lashed back:

Among those who protested the Vietnam War were many honorable, patriotic and faithful citizens. Fonda was not one of them. Well, she certainly did protest, but if she was a faithful citizen and patriotic, it must have been for another country. Her anti-American roots are evident to any reporter setting willful blindness aside long enough to do some research.

In November 1970, in a speech to University of Michigan students, Fonda said, “If you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would some day become Communist.” Shortly thereafter at Duke University in North Carolina she said, “I, a socialist, think that we should strive toward a socialist society, all the way to communism.” A year later Fonda said at the University of Texas, “We’ve got to establish a socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react.”

The complete list is a long one.

What she actually did matters far more, of course, than what she thought or said as a young woman long ago. When Fonda took a camera crew to North Vietnam late in the war, her actions easily crossed the line of “aid and comfort to the enemy.” While in Hanoi, Fonda delighted our enemy by cavorting for cameras on an anti-aircraft gun, pretending to shoot at U.S. aircraft. Under pressure in recent years, Fonda said that was bad judgment, but her other actions were far worse. She made speeches and recorded propaganda radio broadcasts in Hanoi expressing solidarity against ” . . . our common enemy - U.S. imperialism.” She called our troops, our POWs and our president war criminals and begged U.S. troops to disobey orders from their officers.

Fonda returned to the U.S. and reported our POWs were well treated. When the POWs later came home to tell stories of their sustained starvation diet, maltreatment and torture - real torture, not the kindergarten variety we now debate - she called them liars. Youthful indiscretions and rebellious ideas are one thing; Fonda’s actions betraying her country are quite another…

…Why is it that Fonda, who betrayed her country by going far beyond legitimate protest, is a media darling?

Why do news stories featuring her leave out those sordid details of her past, making only neutral reference to her clash with Vietnam veterans?

Why is it left to Vietnam veterans to balance Fonda’s tributes with the details of her treason, as if Vietnam were somehow a war we created, as if she betrayed just us, and not you and the rest of the country?

    the sad thing is that, she may think that communism is far better than capitalism. yet i doubt she would give up all of her wealth to anyone so that we all could be equal.

    easy way to live and think when you are one of the economic elites ‘living under communism. very easy indeed.

    not easy is having to fight the crowd in a city the size of LA for a carton of milk… but she would never have to experience that if the greedy profit oriented companies didn’t exist. but i would and most of those reading this comment would, but alas not her..

    I’m not sure which is worse… that she may be dumb enough to believe that the POWs weren’t tortured, or that she is evil enough to know that they were, and deny it.

    When I was a youngster and living in Miami, I had a hard time understanding why Vietnam veterans and Cuban immigrants were adamantly protesting Ms. Fonda’s appearance at a local department store to promote her workout line. That was before I read all about her trip to North Vietnam.

    She should’ve at the very least been tossed in prison for sedition and treason. Since she got away with her treachery, everybody else will too.

    Three words, just three little words simply answer this person’s questions. SHE IS LIBERAL

    Liberals are hypocrites. They lie and do all those things I said on that other thread. Since Liberals LIE, they will tell you that they do not run the MSM, but as we know, they do and they run all that and more, such as film and TV and most of the radio and music and everything else in the entertainment industry. Therefore, these Liberal Socialist Anti-American Slags can say and do whatever it is they want, whenever it is they want to do it, and never have to suffer the pain and sorrow of being black listed ever again. There will never again be anything such as a “House UnAmerican Committee” and therefore, these Communists and Socialists are free to cavort and do whatever it is they want to do, even visit dictators and enemies of our country like Chavez and Ack…MyDinner’sCold in Iran. In fact, not only can they do itm they will and when they get back, they will not only be lauded for their bracery in speaking truth to power, there will be televised awards programs where all the stars come out in a Red carpeted cermony so that they can all have a big love fest telling each other how great they are for hating America better than each other.

    After returning from Vietnam in 1970, I completed my 3 years of Army service at Ft. Meade, MD as a member of the 6th Armored Cav. While there, our weekends were consumed by riot control duty in Washington DC.

    I remember seeing this queen of ugly as she graced us with her presence one weekend at a protest on the Mall. It was all I could do to control myself. I and a few of my buddies were sent to the rear of our formation because we, all combat vets, were muttering obscenties out loud and were overheard by our Platoon leader.

    Fortunately, out LT was also a combat vet and nothing more happened.

    Frankly I can’t understand why she was never charged with treason. Her words are freedom of speech (Sedition being a vague charge and giving her the benefit of civil disagreement), but hob nobbing with the North Vietnamese military was treason. She’s every bit as guilty as Benedict Arnold was and should have been treated as such.

    And more importantly, compare her words with Hillary’s and you can see how dangerous electing Hillary would be. Being a Demoncrat is one thing, but Hillary is a communist, plain and simple.

    She is (was) the pretty, priviliged face on the ugly cranial diarrhea spewed by the bomb throwing, fascist left.

    Her waspy, pampered, rich bi-atch hollywood poise was the key to catching joe six pack’s attention toward the radical left’s hatred of the great American experiment of self government by a traditionally conservative & moral people. The bomb throwing hippie leftist’s viewed it all as inherently evil, oppressive, and ripe for the proletariat to revolt and join their east asian communist brethren in throwing off the yolk of capitalist aggression.

    But that didn’t stop ol’ janie from cashing them royalty checks. It’s called being a hypocrite.

    And the same putrid cranial diarrhea is spewed from the soros’, glovers, penns, cubans, huffingtons, kennedys, kellers, pelosis, clintons, et al, ad infinitum…..

    A few weeks ago she stated that the reason the South Vietnamese were slaughtered by the North Vietnamese (after we pulled out) was because we were there in the first place.

    Yeah.
    That’s it.
    It was our fault.

    Folk singer Joan Baez, who staunchly opposed the US presence in Vietnam, was one of the few peace activists of that era willing to protest the Hanoi government after our forces withdrew. Having learned of Hanoi’s atrocities through the media and having met with Vietnamese refugees/activists like Doan Van Toai, Baez had an epiphany of sorts and promptly rallied her former leftists to join her in signing a petition condemning the Hanoi government.

    Surprisingly, some of her comrades in the peace ranks, like E.F. Doctorow and Edward Asner, were willing to put their names on the petition. But according to Baez’s autobiography, one prominent leftist personally contacted refused to sign the petition. Her name was Jane Fonda.

    Fonda told Baez in no uncertain terms that she was standing by the communist regime, refusing to believe that stories of Hanoi-sponsored atrocities might be true. Therefore Fonda would not her put her name to the document. And so she didn’t.

    Nope. It was treason. Funny that Jane was so hot for communism, yet does anyone imagine she flies in coach? Or drives a Hyundai? Or lives in a 700 sq ft apartment in a working class neighborhood? Oops! Forgot, that stuff is just for the little folks like us, not the Fondas, the Clintons, the Sulzbergers, and Kennedys of the world.

    When ever I think of her all that comes to mind is “Jane you ignorant slut.” When going through POW survival training in 1979 the entire staff of the Survival School wanted to give her a private tour of the facilities. They wanted to expose her to the same kind of treatment our guys underwent during their visit to the Hanoi Hilton. The instructors had a lot of contact with former POWs in developing the little slice of hell they exposed us to. Just a mention of her name was enough to bring out a very vivid show of emotion of the face of an instructor. I can’t even imagine the pain and suffering this woman help facilitate to our downed airmen and others that one way or another became guests of this brutal communist regime. May this little darling of the left reap all she has sown when ushered into her rightful place in hell.

    Dissent, of and by itself, is not patriotic. Dissent doesn’t take place in a vacuum, it takes place in social context. One can certainly dissent from a policy - for example, comprehensive immigration reform rather than border security - and still be patriotic. However, when dissent is during a war, and costs the lives of Americans, then it can only be treasonous. Fonda got away with treason because the politics of the left triumphed. She should be in prison.

    Some liberals feel as if dissent is the highest form of patriotism. They define their stance of supporting the troops but not the war by employing this definition. Yet, their support for the war comes in exactly which form? I am in no way stating that dissent is inherently wrong; however, when used in context (i.e., liberals and war) they feel completely justified in their treasonous, dangerous and malicious actions.

    One minor problem here, Jane, the people who want communism are without hope and are unwilling to get down on their knees. However, you could still live like a communist, yourself, and show us how it is done.

    All you have to do is move out of your mansion and give your money to the poor. Then you would be free to live like the average North Korean, Cuban, or Chinese communist and be happy. Don’t be like Al Gore and other liberals who want to tell the rest of us how to live, but are unwilling to practice what they preach.

    Maybe if you set an example and show us how great communism is, the rest of us will follow you. Or, perhaps, we will just ignore you while you beg for your daily bowl of rice.

    There is a website that discusses the role of Jane Fonda in the Vietnam War, and the claim that she took the slips of paper from American POWs and turned them over to the NVA. I believe that there is conflicting information about what she did in that regard. I, for one, have no doubt that she would have turned the papers over to the NVA, but there is no proof. And, unlike most liberals, proof is important.

    If anyone wants to look up Jane Fonda in the NY Times microfilm index for 1973, you will see where she stated that American POWs who returned from the Hanoi Hilton with tales of North VietNamese brutality were liars. Her exact words were “And the guys are liars”. Yet she went on Late Nite with David Letterman about a year ago and told an adoring Letterman that she devoted years of her life to the cause of US soldiers and she passed up movie roles because she was so busy helping soldiers. To this day, she has never been asked about that infamous quote. It was in the NY Times. She can’t really deny it.

    Because she hasn’t profited from capitalism?

    That transition will never be peaceful, Ms. Fonda. You are talking about turning an entire nation into a den of abject poverty; taking away from those who worked hard their entire lives and knocking them down to the level of those who wouldn’t lift a finger if their life depended on it.

    So, to clarify, “privacy” and “profits” are only a good thing when they benefit people like Fonda. In the hands of the common, hard working folk, they’re evil.

    She’s so full of c*ap she makes me ill.

    My husband was in-country Vietnam when Jane Fonda was making love to that anti-aircraft gun. He never forgave her for her treachery and neither have I. For those who only read it about it now as history, you have no idea how bad it was at the time, especially if you were active duty or a VN Vet. She is scum of the lowest order. A slimy slug that leaves her trail of crap wherever she goes.

    Someone gave me her coffee table workout book for Christmas one year and it is the only time I saw my husband show violence. When I opened the present and he saw her picture on the front, he picked up the electric carving knife and sliced it in half right thru her face. I was shocked at this deep anger, but I understood it too. Like I said, she is scum.

    Michelle;

    It almost looks like you were trolling - for us Viet Nam Vets and our friends!

    I read “To Set The Record Straight” over the weekend and now, somehow, I am more sanguine about that whole era. It was almost like a big “Welcome Home.” Not that I have or would ever forgive or forget her actions - I believe that many soldiers, on both sides, and many civilians died as a direct result of her support for the enemy that emboldened them and encouraged them to hold out longer and for a better settlement, and allowed them to commit the atrocities they did at the end of the war.

    The quickest way to get a Vietnam Vets blood to a full boil is th esight of Hanoi Jane. When I married my wife & we were moving into our home I came across one of her exercise videos that my wife owned. I calmly told her we had a problem, either that video or I would not see the sun go down in the house. I promised her I would purchase a new exercise video promptly. Her exercise video was part of the christening we gave to the new fireplace.

    It seems odd that so many famous and wealthy people who have made their millions off of the American public and way of life are the same people who hate our country so much…or is it they love America so much they feel the urge to betray the majority of her citizens.

I believe that there is conflicting information about what she did in that regard. I, for one, have no doubt that she would have turned the papers over to the NVA, but there is no proof. And, unlike most liberals, proof is important.”

    It is a hoax debunked on the Snopes page here. Jane Fonda is a traitor who caused our POWs grief, especially those tortured to tell her they were receiving “humane and lenient treatment,” but this incident never happenned.

    One of the problems with a complete debunking is that some of the POWs who were supposedly part of the story never returned home. Here is what is known with some certainty.
    ————————–
    Fonda met seven American POWs. The stories that they were tortured to meet her cannot be corroborated, but at least five of them were not there willingly. She harangued them, she insulted the president, she called them criminals, she told them that they had been bombing hospitals and pagodas and dikes – all of which was untrue. Then she came home and said they were all sorry, regretted what they did and wanted peace. She even called a family or two. She called one guy’s wife, and told her, “Don’t worry, he’s doing fine. He’s great.” When the wife told her, “How can he be doing great where he is and with what they are doing to him?” Fonda hung up on her. She gave the North Vietnamese countless photo opportunities, not the least of which was the cover of our book: Fonda on the triple-A gun. When they came back and began telling of the torture, she called them liars and hypocrites. She said that men who were tortured don’t walk off an airplane – she was talking about when they were repatriated – and salute smartly.

If she feels so strongly about communisim why and her Hollywood comrades don’t open up their mansions and let the poor and illegals fill them up just like they did in Russia after their revolution? Better yet why doesn’t Jane move to Vietnam or North Korea and Cuba where she can spend most of her time in line buying basic commidities. Why must these Hollywood traitors live in the USA?? What got me the most is when she called the POW’s liars, and then she must have drove Ted Turner crazy too if thats possible. Another quesiton is what happened to her so called Christianity?

    I saw a recent interview with a US Air Force pilot who spent a number of years in Vietnamese prison camps. He related that even worse than the physical torture, was the realization that all hope was gone, and nothing was going to bring his previous life back.

    The sickest thing about this POS Jane Fonda’s North Vietnam photo-op was her mere presence, giving false hope to the American prisoners that she reviewed with her communist hosts.

    I see this as akin to visiting a drought-stricken land and walking around with a tall, cool glass of iced tea, except she was doing this to her own nation’s servicemen. Truly sick.

I heard him curse only a handful of times in the 18 years I lived in his house…and even then, the curse consisted only of the word “damn”. He simply had virtually complete control of his emotions. One glaring exception to that rule: any mention of Jane Fonda. Dad’s career included a few flights over Viet Nam and a lot of time with war veterans, and her name and likeness were simply not allowed in our home. She was (is) evil personified, and every time she is lauded by the media it’s like salt in a wound.

    #88 James, according to the libs Cubas economic woes are caused by the American trade embargo, which also forces their government to throw people in jail for things like signing petitions and or watching uncensored television broadcasts. On the flip side normal trade and commerce with third world countries are also viewed as American exploitation not to mention destruction of the local culture.

    No, not even those things are as bad as…

    The fact that ALL THESE THINGS COMBINED has lead to the new crop of anti-American, seditious, traitorous, low foreheaded, knuckle-draggers you see such as Cindy Sheehan, the Code Pinkos and all the rest.

    Had the United States treated her the way they should have, taken her the moment she got home and put her in cuffs and drug her off to a Federal prison to serve out whatever justice her treason deserved, maybe we wouldn’t be getting accosted by the likes of these traitors at every turn. However, she was the great green light to traitors everywhere. Since then, they just can’t seem to help themselves. Until there is someone with the cajones to step up and follow the law, they will only get worse and continue to get stronger.

    And we all have Jane Fonda to thank for that.

    I was a teenager when Hanoi Jane went to Vietnam on her “good will trip”. I distincly remember watching her spew pro-Viet Cong dogma on the evening news. She posed for propaganda films, including the horrendous episode behind the NVA gun emplacement. She made numerous radio addresses, and called the P.O.W.s “liars” when they related stories of their mistreatment at the hands of the Communists she loved so much. That bitch should have been shot for treason the minute she stepped back on American soil.

    I think the reason she is a media darling iis very simeple. First, the people in the media who fawn over her did not serve in the military during the Vietnam era, instead, they took their deferments and hid in safety. Second, if these same people were to criticise Fonda, that might expose them for the cowards they are. I know many men my age who didn’t serve and when they find out I did, they hem and haw and change the subject. In academia and in the media, the senior management is made up of cowards who avoided service.
