Cannes 2011: Peter Fonda encourages his grandchildren to take up arms against President Barack Obama
The London Telegraph ^ | May 22, 2011 | Richard Eden

Posted on 05/21/2011 11:29:13 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Lars von Trier, who was banned from Cannes for praising Hitler, was not the only one making unsavoury comments at the film festival.

Peter Fonda, the star of Easy Rider, suggested to Mandrake that he was encouraging his grandchildren to shoot President Barack Obama.

“I’m training my grandchildren to use long-range rifles,” said the actor, 71. “For what purpose? Well, I’m not going to say the words 'Barack Obama’, but …”

He added, enigmatically: “It’s more of a thought process than an actuality, but we are heading for a major conflict between the haves and the have nots. I came here many years ago with a biker movie and we stopped a war. Now, it’s about starting the world.

“I prefer to not to use the words, 'let’s stop something’. I prefer to say, 'let’s start something, let’s start the world’.

“There’s no room any more for a cissy and, like I said, don’t forget that I’ve got grandsons who I’ve trained with long-distance rifles. We have to run like mofos to change this world.”

What does he have to complain about? If Barack Hussein Obama ain't far enough left for you, you've got problems!

Two words, Peter... Joe Biden. You really want to inflict that on America ?

You’d think his acid flashbacks would ease up, eventually.

The none hasn’t instituted full on communism, with Peter as a leading member. He’s disappointed.

I train with rifles as well. So do millions of others. Think on it.

Dennis Hopper dies, and this schmuck lives. Life isn’t fair.

HA HA HA HA HA! I like the narcissism implicit in his words “we stopped a war” too.

Fonda is an old hippy. America needs to fix things by voting. Not listening to some crazy old hippy.

Holy cow. Is he back in the states yet? I wouldn’t be surprised if the Secret Service met his butt at the door of the plane.

They’re never happy.

This country has never been more socialist than it is now and to them, there’s always a reason other than socialism itself that it fails. So they take more. And more.... Making up more “bad guys” as they go along.

And Peter Fonda sounds like he’s gone nuts.

Peter makes his sister sound rational, and she was better looking, too!

His sister sat on a NV AA gun and wished our planes were flying overhead. They're both nuts, but she will forever be a traitor. He's just a nutty loud mouth, has been a-hole.........for now.

He is a one hit wonder, who happens to be the son of a famous and very talented film star.

He is, also, the brother of a traitor.

I will be interested to see if the SS, in between their monitoring of FNC, find the time to pay him a visit, though.
