It might help the drought that so few flowers are left to water in Atlanta, so many having been thrown at Jane Fonda to celebrate her 70th birthday.
The AJC predictably gave her glowing coverage, with only the mention that Fonda has to deal with criticism by Vietnam veterans.
Here is one Vietnam veteran who is bothered far more by how the media portray her than by Fonda herself.
Now that the threat of communism is gone, the Cold War stand against it is sometimes ridiculed, likened to looking for boogeymen under the bed. Fonda's own affinity for communism is brushed aside as paranoid rubbish.
But it shouldn't be.
Among those who protested the Vietnam War were many honorable, patriotic and faithful citizens. Fonda was not one of them. Well, she certainly did protest, but if she was a faithful citizen and patriotic, it must have been for another country. Her anti-American roots are evident to any reporter setting willful blindness aside long enough to do some research...

Thats an F-4G, Wild Weasel. The J was a Navy bird, and that's clearly USAF. Also see the funny looking pod/antenna where the gun would otherwise be?
But the Weasel is just the thing for taking out a radar site, or an anti-aircraft gun, if armed like the one below, with Maverick missiles as well as the HARM (High Speed Anti Radiation Missile.
‘In the movie On Golden Pond we were confronted with the vile expression “suck face.” The term absolutely must have been coined by a heartless liberal. I gather a few Californian kids may have used the term, but I’ve never ever heard it uttered in fly-over country—or anywhere else since, for that matter.’
You need to get out more. Not only is it used, its effective.....(chuckle)
As in ‘you wanna suck face’ followed by a female giggle...and a very nice make out session.
I don’t like the woman but why are they bringing up Vietnam problems at a 70th birthday party. Can’t they leave her alone to have cake???
Media Glow on Fonda Because of Her Treason
Perhaps Vietnam veterans resent how Fonda helped the Vietnamese communists murder and enslave large numbers of people, and portrayed their own honorable service as vicious and criminal. Just a guess.
Understand that but can’t she celebrate a birthday for goodness sakes? That all I am saying. Again can’t stand the woman but this is too much.
No, she deserves no peace, not ever for her deliberate acts of treason. p>
They should have held a party for her at Ft. Bragg!
>Now that the threat of communism is gone
I disagree with that statement. It’s alive and masquerading both here and abroad.
I was on the Forrestal, and we were still flying the F4-J.....I watched one suck up a deck wrench on it’s way down the cats...blew the starboard engine right out...and the damn thing still got airborne, flew around and landed...
no, it’s not.....traitor is as traitor does....never forget, or grant a moment’s rest to the wicked...
Hanoi Jane and all of her cohorts, including ones sitting in the Senate that helped her effort at instilling communism in America, should all rot where it is very hot.
As the sticker on the back of my truck says, “I WILL FORGIVE JANE FONDA When the Jews Forgive Hitler.”
Her hollow apologies mean nothing. All she regrets is having her photo taken sitting on an anti-aircraft gun.
And she should have a birthday in peace for what reason?
She gave aid and comfort to an enemy in a time of war, on their turf, no less. We have shot and hung people for less.
Why should she have no reminder on HER 70th birthday of the three million men, women, children that will never have another birthday or cake, thanks to her treason? Does she not see their faces or hear their cries?
Why should anyone accept her faux apology about “bad judgment” when 200 American servicemen were dying every damn week in that hellhole called Vietnam while she posed for the propaganda pictures for the North Vietnamese?
She should be treated like a pariah instead of idolized. Her only accomplishment other than helping to get three million people slaughtered is to pretend to be other people in a movie. Big whoop.
And don’t forget—she, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy—all tried to do it AGAIN with Iraq. Same M.O.
She’s had 70 years of privilege.
Like the writer of this article said, a bell cannot be unrung.
Your right. I guess it just keeps her in the lime light if she gets attention at a birthday that is all I was saying. Your points are very valid.
Thank you for not taking my post personally—it wasn’t meant to be.
Jane Fonda is a quisling, and those of us who remember her treason are duty bound to inform another generation of her horrid deeds. Her actions had deadly consequences.
She is a flashpoint with me. Thank you for understanding that.
I thank you also for keeping me informed and the rest of my generation and especially me who do not know much about it. My dad was in the service during Vietnam but he was not in the action. He was in the Air Force but just did not end up there. Merry Christmas!!!
I read this on Boortz’s website this morning. Great commentary on Hanoi Jane.
Thank you! A Merry Christmas to you as well!
If you still have your dad with you, please thank him for his service from me—I was one of the lucky ones with a high draft number two years in a row- so I didn’t have to serve, and then the war ended.
But I’ll never forget the sacrifice of those who did. I owe them that. They made my charmed life possible.
