Fonda Shot Down

“Jane Fonda's anti-Vietnam War activism trumps her community service work, the Georgia Senate concluded Thursday.

Senators reversed their day-old approval of a resolution honoring the actress for her charitable work in Georgia, voting down the measure because of the anti-war activities of "Hanoi Jane."

What a shame...

"Honoring Jane Fonda, no matter how much good work she might be doing now, would be the equivalent of this Senate spitting on every person who has ever worn the uniform of this country," Sen. John Douglas (R-Covington), a retired Army major, told his colleagues. He received a standing ovation from several senators.”

Could your obsession with Jane Fonda be the reflection of some repressed juvenile sexual fantasy ? This might explain a lot.

I would love to get the DVD on that one

What a hot piece of ass she was

It probably took a lot of courage for a young woman like her, to cross ennemy lines and meet the ennemy. Despite what you can say Boon Mee, she did more as a fragile woman than you will ever do as a man in your fantasy "macho" life. Her continuing community work proved that. You, on the other hand, supported a Chimp to go into another "disastrous" war and you troll message boards on the Internet for a living. Do the math (if you can count that far)

Jane Fonda... an outstanding US patriot who has not been afraid to speak her mind.

Quite a stunner she was:

Nowadays, she is one of the Grandes Dames who reminds us of the generousity, compassion and free spirit which can still be found amongst the American people.

Quite the piece alright. I remember going to see Barbarella as a kid, at a drive-in theatre (my first "dirty" movie)

Saw it quite a few years later on the TV, it looked pretty cheesy the second time around, and the acting was pretty poor, but she was still sexy !

'Klute' did it for me!

Any of her movies do it to me!

Got to agree, Jane Fonda, a great American who took a moral stance based on concience. If only there were more like her.

It's a dying breed in the States...

But we still got Chompsky.

30+ years after Nam I think it's obvious that Jane Fonda proved she was right. 50,000+ U.S. lives and who would care to explain, in retrospect, what those lives did for the American people. Or the South Vietnamese? What was gained that was worth that price? Specifically. Care to offer a logical explanation, Boonie? (Might be a trick question. )

30 years after Iraq will find that war to be no different than Nam. An absolute waste of human life.

No small wonder you'll get biased opinions such as this from people who believe in war. The words sound good in a certain context but otherwise have little value.

Butterfly, lamphun and zzap all admire Jane Fonda.

What more needs to be said about this sad character?

And you don't.

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Some people value life . . . other's don't. Some people see the value in wars . . . others don't. What's obvious to some . . . isn't to others.

One does not give aid and comfort to the enemy when one's country is at war...

I'd still rather look at Jane Fonda than Cindy Sheehan !

We have gone over and over this on different forums including this one.

Gets boring explaining it a million times.

Suffice it to say that Noam Chomsky not only supported the Vietnam War, but thinks that we won it by stopping the Dominoes from falling after it was over.

Who am I to argue with Noam?

Boon Mee, here are several alternatives to the false dilmena you're framing:

A. Christians are ordered to love their enemies. Not that Jane Fonda was a servant of Jesus Christ, but she loved the enemy far better than 99% of the American Christians did at that time, including me (Sergeant, USAF Retired, and I was then a Baptist minister of youth, blessing my boys as they went off to war).

B. To paraphrase Henry David Thoreau, who went to jail rather than to pay a war tax, it is the duty of every patriotic citizen to disobey his country when it stoops to an immoral war. The draft resisters who risked prison were more brave than some of the folks who got drafted. And I'm Tax Auditor, IRS Retired.

C. The best way now, to fight the immoral, illegal, unConstitutional, undeclared, ridiculous, outrageously expensive war in Iraq is to join the Christian Peacemakers Teams and go to Iraq without a weapon. I'm CPT, Alumnus (Chiapas).

The worst thing to do, as an American, is to blindly say, "Yes, Sir, Commander-in-Chief, whom do I kill next, what innocent child gets the next incoming bomb?"

Sadly, I might be older than you, Boonie. Fortunately, I look much younger to the Thais.

You're making an erroneous assumption in a number of ways, Boonie. First of all, the entire country obviously was not at war in Nam. Secondly, because you have a government hawking war doesn't mean that the entire population down to the last man, women and child is willing to blindly follow like dumb sheep. Some people actually use their own brains.

Still waiting to hear a logical explanation of what the 50,000+ lives did for the U.S., or anyone else for that matter.

Edit: I seriously doubty I'll get a reasonable answer. As I said, silence is golden.

Sad and pathetic is how I would describe people that keep going on about her....

Barbarella, has on many occasions appologized for her actions.she has not appologized for being anti-war, but she has appologised for being seen in those photos "astride" the VC weapons. A stupid act by a young silly girl.

I'm sure that she has moved on.......

Well, what did all the deaths incurred during the American Civil War accomplish either?
