The Truth About My Trip To Hanoi (Jane Fonda lies about her treason)
http://janefonda.com/the-truth-about-my-trip-to-hanoi | 7/22/11 | Fonda

I grew up during World War II. My childhood was influenced by the roles my father played in his movies. Whether Abraham Lincoln or Tom Joad in the Grapes of Wrath, his characters communicated certain values which I try to carry with me to this day. I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn’t have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him. I grew up with a deep belief that wherever our troops fought, they were on the side of the angels.

For the first 8 years of the Vietnam War I lived in France. I was married to the French film director, Roger Vadim and had my first child. The French had been defeated in their own war against Vietnam a decade before our country went to war there, so when I heard, over and over, French people criticizing our country for our Vietnam War I hated it. I viewed it as sour grapes. I refused to believe we could be doing anything wrong there.

It wasn’t until I began to meet American servicemen who had been in Vietnam and had come to Paris as resisters that I realized I needed to learn more. I took every chance I could to meet with U.S. soldiers. I talked with them and read the books they gave me about the war. I decided I needed to return to my country and join with them—active duty soldiers and Vietnam Veterans in particular—to try and end the war.

Fonda remains either delusional or just a bad liar. The beating and torture deaths at the Hanoi Hilton for which she is directly responsible are just one line in her vile biography. I suspect she knows she was used as a tool by the murderous communists and just cannot bring herself to admit it. This may, in fact, be the best punishment.

Barbarella lives in her own world, I think.

She should have kept her two-face arse in France with the other American traitors.

Nice try, traitor. On Fonda’s obituary, her consorting with the enemy during war time will be the leitmotif. She’s fooling no one, not even herself, with her revisionist history.

“The Truth About My Trip To Hanoi”

The truth is—you voluntarily went to an enemy country and aided and abetted the enemy. While our guys were dying in the field, you were screwing every commie that knocked on your Hanoi door. Now there’s your truth, witch. So piss off!

And she completely forgets mentioning that she was a communist. Other communists have met her at the time and reported it in their memoirs. Even David Horowitz did, IIRC.

Like the other radical communists at the time, she wanted to end the war because she supported the communist side. Simple as that. Until she owns up to that fact, her explanations and excuses are worthless.

"Whether Abraham Lincoln or Tom Joad in the Grapes of Wrath, his characters communicated certain values which I try to carry with me to this day..."

What a load of BS! Henry Fonda was a script reader. Had he been cast as Karl Marx, Stalin, Hitler, or Judas he would have read the lines just as well.

Jane is a POS that as a minimum, should have been denied reentry after her visit to a hostile nation in which she gave aid and comfort. I think she should still be tried for treason.

Come on.. you gotta understand "and that's the way it is" lots of kids like her got caught up in Alinksy's Rules For Spoiled Brats. Or were influenced by older men.. like Walter "North Viet Nam Communists' most trusted man in America" Cronkite.

You know what, Hanoi Jane? If you hadn’t gone on that trip, you wouldn’t find it necessary to explain yourself 40 years later. Protesting a war in your country is free speech. Protesting a war in your enemy’s country is treason.

Not just a communist, a terrorist. F*** the Army talks & scripts (thanks, Donald Sutherland) recommended officer-fragging.

I just don’t understand liars. You cannot turn back the hands of time and rewrite history.

We ALL know the truth. FU traitorous biatch!

I read her story on her web page and she almost had me until she started typing. Hanoi Jane and John Freaking Kerry gave the North the hope we would let up when it was clear that Nixons bombing campaign had them close to defeat. Not my words but the comments of a North Vietnamese General.

Her visit to the POW camp was memorable. This is baggage she can never shred .

The degrees of treason here differ. She was an ACK-TORE with one year of college. Kerry was an officer in the U. S. Navy with 4 years of Yale behind him who lied to Congress (and became a pretty-much permanent U. S. Senator). The penalty, however, is the same.

What is less frequently traced to La Fonda is the Vietnam Wall, a clear victory for the antimilitary forces in the U. S. at the time.

he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism

Use of Soviet Communist terminology in reference to German National Socialism is a dead giveaway.

Fonda is a liar: she knows full well that she enthusiastically collaborated with the enemy and she didn't make any secret of her hatred for the American fighting men.

She made propaganda broadcasts at least eight times on Radio Hanoi calling for our surrender, she brought home enemy talking points, and it is probable that she even brought enemy agents here, posing as "Vietnamese students".

Our government didn't have the spine to arrest her or the hundreds of other traitors that helped the North Vietnamese against us.

No amount of spinning (or fawning, empty-headed synchophants) will change the fact of her guilt.
