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...

But then, you've already pointed out I lead a sheltered life.
Does any comment accompanied by a female giggle automatically pass decorum standards because it alludes to something as pleasant a female-initiated make out session? That's www.TonyaHarding.com's "standards," but I hope were not mainstreaming such vulgar fantasies.

One of the few reasons I stay alive is to piss on Hanoi Jane’s grave.
Will do thank you. I appreciate all of them too.
Ping.
‘I didn’t think lucianne.com got started until she’d done a year or two here (’98-’99). ‘
I was posting at Lcom under the same screen name in 1998.
I don't care how old she gets ... she's still sitting in that FLAK piece.
I have a few places I'd like to toss em.
Sorry ... don’t mean to be beating a dead horse.
What galls me is when she was supporting the NVA her movies like “Barbarella” were playing at theaters on military bases in the US and Asia.

When Fonda the Traitor assumes room temperature, the remains will probably be cremated and scattered at sea, just to prevent you, me, and lots of Vietnam vets from delivering our individual urinary response to that less than worthless life.
I’ll stand in that line!!!!!
Terry's point is that the media is also celebrating her birthday, thereby giving tacit approval to what she did.
Jane Fonda is a traitor!!
We fought a Cold War nuclear standoff (that almost came to a head several times) thanks to domestic spies who served Joseph Stalin, murderer of millions. The Cold War was only considered "ridiculous" by those who LOVED Stalin and want us UNDER Communism (including Jane Fonda and Pete Seeger and Red Asner).
"If you knew what communism truly was, you would get on your hands and knees and pray that one day we [U.S.] would be communist." - Jane Fonda
Ed Asner claims that Joseph Stalin was "misunderstood"! (10/13/2003)
"I think Joe Stalin was a guy that was hugely misunderstood," said Asner. "And to this day, I don't think I have ever seen an adequate job done of telling the story of Joe Stalin, so I guess my answer would have to be Joe Stalin."
Seeger is known for his ardent political beliefs and his involvement with leftist political organizations, including the Communist Party. An article written in 2006 by an official of the American libertarian Cato Institute reported that in the early years of World War II, political opponents called him "Stalin's Songbird".[11] His supporters called him "America's Tuning Fork" and "A Living Saint".[12] Seeger's anti-war record Songs for John Doe, released in 1941, took the Communist Party's non-interventionist line after (Hitler and Stalin signed a non-aggression pact in 1939). At that time Seeger was also strongly anti-Franklin D. Roosevelt, owing to what he considered the President's weak support of workers' rights. After Germany’s breaking of the pact and its attack on the Soviet Union, the pacifism of Songs for John Doe were an embarrassment to the new "patriotic" line of the Communist Party and copies were quickly removed from sale. The remaining inventory was reportedly destroyed. Only a few copies exist to this day. After the invasion of the Soviet Union, Seeger and the Communist Party became strong proponents of military action against Germany, and he served in the Army in the Pacific. He was trained as an airplane mechanic, but reassigned to entertain the American troops with music, and later, if asked him what he did in the war, always answered "I strummed my banjo".BULLPUCKY. He did not acknowledge Stalin's crimes for another 40 years.
Seeger left the Communist Party in 1950. (It was five more years before Nikita Khrushchev's Secret Speech described many of Stalin's repressive measures as "crimes", soon leading to an exodus from many foreign affiliates of the Soviet Communist Party.) "I realized I could sing the same songs I sang whether I belonged to the Communist Party or not, and I never liked the idea anyway of belonging to a secret organization."[13] He became an anti-Stalinist socialist.
Seeger has made his rejection of Stalin publicly explicit several times. Among these are his 1993 book Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, and a 1995 interview with The New York Times Magazine. In 2007, he wrote a song condemning Stalin, "Big Joe Blues", and also a letter to historian Ron Radosh, an anticommunist critic of Seeger, apologizing for being blind to Stalin's failings. "I think you’re right," wrote Seeger, "I should have asked to see the gulags when I was in U.S.S.R."
The threat of Communism is far from gone.
It is even manifesting itself in the Democrat Party, rampant in our schools, and has infested our Press.
Be careful where you step.
