"She wants the publicity.

Ignoring her is the best strategy."


Excellent points, though I do get the impression she is genuinely unsettled by the fact that so many of us loathe her.

If she starts acting like she's thriving on negative attention, I'll be with you all the way.

[McGavin999]

what explanation will she have in her now mature years - temporary insanity?

Senility.

[MNJohnnie]

Wonder if anyone bothered to show her the Danny Pearl or Nick Berg videos put together by her new hero's the Terrorists?

RE: headline

Didn't she do enough of that in barbarella?

[smoothsailing]

More than that,Zack. 1.2 million in the killing fields of Laos and Cambodia if memory serves.God only knows how many "boat people".

......'Jane' Fonda........a Gulag... 'poster' girl?

[itsahoot]

Jane Fonda has moved away from that initial faith into a universalism in which she says there are many ways to God and Jesus is not the only path. She has denied the essence of Christianity. One cannot truly be called a Christian unless one believes the uniqueness of the life, atoning death and resurrection of Christ.

Sadly, many prominent Christians, including Billy Graham have grown into this position. Even more sadly, I am afraid our President has joined this elite group.

.....'Jane Fonda'.....'there are MANY PATHS to Godless Communism'....????

/sarcasm

[smoothsailing]

Now you've gone and done it.Had to bring up Barbarella! Sheesh!

:)

[MeanWestTexan]

Well, she's making up for the lack after being married to Wee Ted.

I feel sorry for Jane. She was born into money and fame. She has looks, talent and the rest too.

I know what you mean. But I don't think Jane ever really had any brains. (The kind that thinks for itself.) She could do fine speeches, but she was playing a role and giving a memorized speech. Ever notice how her views seemed to be the views of her boy/man friend?

As for this final protest, my guess is that once again she is being influenced to make a terrible mistake by someone close to her whom she trusts. No doubt she is hanging out with liberals, so that is the path she is taking. But this time it will really hurt her. Drive her into obscurity (I know some would say she is already there.) But I mean afraid to show herself, and never asked to do another film again. This is the path so many liberals have taken, when a little common sense would save them.

Thanks to Nixon
the lies of Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane
are being told again.
And our military are being slandered in Gitmo, Iraq and Afghanistan

Hanoi Kerry and War Crimes in Vietnam

Hanoi Kerry went before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in 1971
to accuse the United States military
of committing massive numbers of war crimes in Vietnam.

Too bad that because Nixon failed to uphold the law,
we are still stuck with Hanoi Jane and Hanoi Kerry.
If Nixon hadn't caved into the minority anti-war crowd
and listened to the Silent Majority
Hanoi Jane AND Hanoi Kerry
would have been prosecuted for their treason in the 70's,
while Nixon was still President.

Keep in mind that Nixon was directly involved in Viet Nam,
as Vice President, going back to at least 1955.

26 Sep 1945 - The first death of an American serviceman in Vietnam occurred.
OSS (Office of Special Operations) Major (Lieutenant Colonel) A. Peter Dewey
was killed in action by the Communist Vietminh near Hanoi.
May 1950 President Harry S Truman authorised $10 million in aid to the French for their war in Viet Nam.
By January 1951, $150 million had been given in aid.
1953-61 Dwight D. Eisenhower 34th US President
1953-61 Richard M. Nixon Vice President
1953 - The US is supporting the French in the amount of $1 billion per year--
33% of all US foreign aid--which is 80% of the total cost to the
. US Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles (under Eisenhower) first voices the 'Domino Theory':
if one country in Southeast Asia falls to the Communists, they will all fall, one by one.

12 Feb 55 - President Eisenhower's administration sends 1st 350 U.S. advisers to South Vietnam
to train the South Vietnamese Army

8 Jun 56 - The first American of record to die in Vietnam
was Air Force Tech Sergeant Richard B. Fitzgibbon Jr.
His son, Richard B. Fitzgibbon III, died in Vietnam Sep 7, 1965.
8 Jun 56 Has been formally recognized by the Pentagon as the first American officially to die in that war.

5 Sep 56 - President Eisenhower tells a news conference that the French are
"involved in a hopelessly losing war in Indochina" 1956 The US believed in that Ho Chi Minh would have won any election held in Viet Nam and used their influence over the government of the State of Viet Nam to ensure that the election was not held

About Vietnam

The Vietnam war was the longest in our nation's history.
1st American advisor was killed on June 08, 1956,
and the last casualties in connection with the war occurred on May 15, 1975, during the Mayaquez incident. Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in the war zone; 300,000 were wounded and approximately 75,000 permanently disabled. Officially there are still 1,991 Americans unaccounted for from SE Asia.

Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning. The brave young men and women who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: "ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran.  For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. They were led by "top brass" who were concerned mainly with furthering their own careers, most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers.  And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations because they were more interested in a story than the truth! It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.

Technically, I would think that you could recognize (correctly) that you were going to Heaven because of Christ's sacrifice, while still being deluded into thinking that others might get their by another path.

Salvation does require smarts, Bible-knowledge, or common sense.

Put differently, the standard for Salvation is very low, because the ransom was so very high.

[Max7]

Billy Graham does not, has not, nor ever WILL deny "the essence of Christianity". He will never deny Jesus Christ. He will never be anything other than what he is and until the day he dies; a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian prophet of our time. He may have made statements from time to time with which we don't agree (and I include myself as scratching my head over a couple of his obviously-to-me misstatements), but DENY CHRIST???? Nooooooooope. I don't think so. Ever.

[smoothsailing]

I was just about to ping you,Tonk!

Some say it's best to ignore Hanoi Jane,I say no way.

NEVER FORGET

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

It will hurt her with the public, but it will elevate her in the eyes of those from whom she seeks approval. Don't you think? She's really a sad, sad person.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Her moniker's changed from: "Hanoi Jane" to "Hussein Jane"

KSFO radio's morning show people in SF call her that.

BTW, if she feels so strongly about the horrors of war or whatever pap she's spreading, why is she not out there now in her efforts to save lives? Why the eight month lag time?

Perhaps her social calender is too full at the moment.
