QVC Cancelled My Appearance!! (Hanoi Jane still Toxic,Via JamieWearingFool)
janefonda.com ^ | 7/16/11

Posted on 07/16/2011 11:24:36 AM PDT by SanFranDan

I was to have been on QVC today to introduce my book, “Prime Time,” about aging and the life cycle. The network said they got a lot of calls yesterday criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear.

I am, to say the least, deeply disappointed that QVC caved to this kind of insane pressure by some well funded and organized political extremist groups. And that they did it without talking to me first. I have never shied away from talking about this as I have nothing to hide.

I could have pointed out that threats of boycotts are nothing new for me and have never prevented me from having best selling books and exercise DVDs, films, and a Broadway play. Most people don’t buy into the far right lies. Many people have reached out to express how excited they were about my going onto QVC and hearing about my book.

Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us. I do not understand what the far right stands to gain by continuing with these myths.

In this case, they denied a lot of people the chance to hear about a book that can help make life better, easier and more fulfilling. I am deeply grateful for all of the support I have been getting since this happened, including from my Vietnam Veterans friends.

I don’t think it’s sunk in to her that flowers won’t
grow on her grave for all the urine.

I was in Vietnam in 1972 when Fonda went to Hanoi but I learned to really despise her when she called the returning P.O.W.’s “hypocrites and liars” for describing how they were tortured by their North Vietnamese captors. Fonda’s complicity in the death by torture of less fortunate P.O.W.’s was revealed even later. For that reason I believe that in her case,

“Some people are alive simply because it’s illegal to kill them.”

You’re right. She lives in a separate world and thinks time has dulled memories.

WRONG! Treason will always be treason and she enjoyed and relished, every minute of her treachery.

Her attitude today just shows the contempt she has
for us all.

I show my contempt for her by letting her live to
make a fool of herself as she continues to do.

My pitiful life and freedom is worth more than all
her wealth and self deluded fame.

The only think that would me my life better, easier and more fulfilling is the reading of your obituary.

Dear Jane Fonda:

Payback’s a b****, ain’t it.

Actually, she should be chastizing all the old hippies and revolutionaries that won’t buy her book. If all of her loyal hippie friends still bought into her BS and worshipped her, she wouldn’t have to demean herself and her stature (supposed stature, that is) by shilling her book on QVC.

Probably drives Jane nuts that Sarah Palin’s books out-sell her books and videos by 100,000 to 1.

Times are a changin’.

If that casket is not weighed down with extra iron, it will likely float right out of the hole in short order.

No, I think you have to blame the politicians for Vietnam. Jane was a useful idiot.

F you, Hanoi Jane. We won't forget.

And to quote Sheriff Thibodeaux, "What I do on your grave won't pass for flowers."
