Old liberals never die...they just find new ways to betray their country

Then whine about being a victim.....

Oh it is sooo unfair

Hanoi Jane rides again

Jane Fonda just won't shut up. And her crocodile tears will not stop flowing. She has contracted an acute case of Aging Celebrity Hippie Syndrome -- and it's going to land her tell-all memoir on The New York Times best-seller list in no time.

There she is on "60 Minutes," simpering about her failed relationship with her stoic father.

There she is in the Washington Post, detailing her past bouts with bulimia and lingering body image problems. (Which haven't damaged her enough to prevent her from posing for publicity photos: "Oh, God! Side lighting is not so good for me," the suffering Fonda orders the photographer.)

There she is in The New York Times. And Time magazine. And on "Good Morning America," blabbing about her bizarre trio of ex-husbands and their various pathologies. Adultery. Alcoholism. Prostitutes. Group sex. Blecchh. Aging hippies never learn. As college students, they had no appreciation of the value of self-restraint. Decades later as senior citizens (Jane Fonda is a 67-year-old woman prattling on, Howard Stern-style, about threesomes, for heaven's sake), they still have no appreciation of the value of discretion.

Unless there are big bucks involved, that is.

And now, Hanoi Jane is everywhere, everywhere, issuing what many in the mainstream media have characterized as a so-called apology for her betrayal of American troops in Vietnam.

The New York Times reports:

As she has before, Ms. Fonda apologizes for being photographed laughing and clapping while sitting on an antiaircraft gun in Hanoi. (She writes that she absent-mindedly sat down in a moment of euphoria with her North Vietnamese hosts, and adds, ''That two-minute lapse of sanity will haunt me until the day I die.'')

On "60 Minutes," she moans:

I will go to my grave regretting that. The image of Jane Fonda, 'Barbarella,' Henry Fonda's daughter, just a woman sitting on an enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal. It was like I was thumbing my nose at the military and at the country that gave me privilege.

"Like" she was thumbing her nose? The woman delivered numerous broadcasts on Radio Hanoi claiming tortured POWs were in "good health," calling her own president a "new-type Hitler" on enemy airwaves, and accusing American pilots of being "war criminals."

Vietnam veterans see clearly through Fonda's ploy -- yet another insult to the memory of fallen American troops. Walter Inge wrote in a letter to the editor of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

Despite repeated claims, Hanoi Jane Fonda has never apologized for her treasonous collaboration with the Vietnamese Communists. Writing that it was 'a betrayal' and 'a lapse of judgment' is a confession, not an apology.

Henry Mark Holzer, co-author of "Aid and Comfort: Jane Fonda and North Vietnam," was more blunt on MSNBC's "Scarborough Country" this week:

She committed treason. She exploited and misused American POWs. She gave the North Vietnamese communists, with whom we were then at war, propaganda that American POWs endured unimaginable torture not to give them, she gave it to them for free. And, indeed, she caused the deaths of American fighting men and the deaths of our allies as well.

Meanwhile, Fonda's fellow Hollywood hippie leftover, Peter Yarrow, traveled to Vietnam last week "ready to get down on my knees as one American and say, 'Please forgive us'" -- a sentiment with which the unrepentant Fonda -- who has yet to apologize for those treasonous radio broadcasts -- no doubt concurs.

No mind. Fonda's cynical non-apology "apology" keeps making headlines, just as she and her book publicists had hoped. This isn't about making amends. This is about making money.

Me! Me! Me! Hanoi Jane rides again.

Or in other words, damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.

Thanks for bringing this hatchet job to my attention - I would never have been aware that Fonda was releasing a tell-all. Not that I'm interested in it mind you. In fact, I really don't care, and I'd be surprised if many others reading this post do either.

What is really interesting is that the article whinges about Fonda being a publicity whore while - through the very publishing of the article, providing the publicity that Fonda is seeking.

I mean, wouldn't the cause of the writer be better served if she had never put pen to paper in the first instance?

[CamB]

On further reflection, it would be extremely ironic if this article spurred a number of (stern, town hall reading, fox watching) conservatives to buy the book.

I mean, if Fonda is so worthless and America-hating, do you think she would really care who bought, or why, her book?

[Moneyguy1]

fint's at it again..

Slow week there buddy?

[fintstone]

Don't worry Cam...only bleeding heart liberals will read it....except for high school and college students....because it will probably be one more "required reading" to indoctrinate the young.

Actually, although Fonda did a lot of damage in the Vietnam era...like Kerry and Kennedy...she is very useful now....because history has proven what they really were/are. Thank God they are poster children for the liberals! It is almost as good as having a liberal Senator that was a KKK leader....oh wait...we do!!!

I only skimmed your excerpts, Fint, so I don't know if it's mentioned in your C&P work, but Jane's also a Born Again Christian. Shouldn't that be worth one less stone thrown her way from the right, or does that part of the conservative platform not apply in her case?

[tabs]

Being Born Again is just another dodge...JC has saved me so I can continue to be an irresponsible twit...

[widebody911]

If there is so much liberal evil in the world, then why are Jane Fonda' activities from the 60's one of the cornerstones of conservative whingings?

From Merriam -Webster
treason: the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family.

Please provide your definition and source. The ease with which this term is used has always bothered me.

[Jeff Higgins]

The "legal" definitions I have seen in the past have included "providing aid and comfort to the enemy". It is not surprising that the strict Webster's dictionary definition is narrower in scope than the legal definition used by our government. That is often the case.

There is a special, extra-hot room for her in Hell.......next to John Kerry's of course......which is in the French quarter of hell....located next to the Saddam Hussein/Adolf Hitler Ice Cream Parlour...........

I thought it was her fifth floor apartment in "Barefoot in The Park." She was umm...ummm...good looking in that movie.

Try this one:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

fint what is the source? thanks

I wasn't going to reveal this, but I once met Jane in a yogurt shop in Westwood. I thought she was a little off center. She smiled a lot, then would suddenly become real severe. She was wearing a black leather trench coat in eighty-five degree weather. Little drivels of perspiration were falling down her temples. I think she ordered vanilla (or was it peanut butter) with Reeces Pieces sprinkled on top. Whacky gal!

Hey, just tonight on CNN, Jane revealed she and Ted were into three-ways. Commie sex, if you ask me - spreading the love evenly and all that crap.

[stevepaa]

There are many eccentric people in life and most have little or no control of what they do until they get diagnosed as having mania, or depression, or being bi-polar, or having asperger syndrome, or some compulsive disorder. And many of these people are the highly intelligent creative arts people.

Having gone through some of their tribulations with them, I tend to be more charitable now.

Big deal, either she wasn't or Ted wasn't capable of satisfying each other, or maybe Ted takes it in the bum.

I have a lot of friends who were in Nam, including one of my partners, who was a fighter pilot, and they all despise her and feel that what she did was treason.

Either way, the image is disturbing.
