CANNES - PETER Fonda launched a four-letter attack on US President Barack Obama at the Cannes film festival on Wednesday, calling him a traitor over the handling of the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill.
The star of the 1969 road movie Easy Rider was in Cannes for the premiere of The Big Fix by Rebecca and Josh Tickell, the only feature documentary in the official selection at the Cannes film festival this year.
Fonda - a keen environmentalist and co-producer of the film which centres on the explosion of the BP oil rig Deepwater Horizon, the ensuing spill and its consequences - accused Washington of trying to gag reporting on the issue.
'I sent an email to President Obama saying, 'You are a traitor,' using those words... 'You're a traitor, you allowed foreign boots on our soil telling our military - in this case the coastguard - what they can and could not do, and telling us, the citizens of the United States, what we could or could not do'.'

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
He’s right for the wrong reasons.
Isn’t the spoiled little brat due for another spin-dry?
Don’t ‘keen environmentalists’ try to tell us what to do and not do as well? Pot meet kettle.
You know your career might have stalled just a little bit when they have to use a 42 year old film you starred in to orient the reader as to who you are.
They are beginning to turn on their own.
RETURN THE PEACE PRIZE NOW BABY KILLER!

Good point.
Oh yeah, Obummer is a traitor but not for the reasons Fonda states!
Profundity on display!
Lemme guess - Peter walked to Cannes.
Yep. Dennis Hopper has had just a tad more acting activity in the past 40 years compared with Fonda.
peter fonda needs “re-educating”. loyalty to the party trumps everything.

The direction must have gone like this. “OK Mr Fonda in this scene I want you to move real slow and act stoned, got it? . . . Mr. Fonda? . . . Hello?”
(Jack Nicholson OTOH stole every scene he was in)
“Lemme guess - Peter walked to Cannes.”
Well, in all fairness.. he could’ve swam there, or paddled himself. (/sarc)
Wasn’t Peter Fonda’s Dad a famous actor?
LOL!
I know what its like to be dead......
