Michelle Obama: Big Fan of 'Politically Savvy' Jane Fonda
NewsBusters ^ | January 20, 2014 | Tim Graham

In their latest interview with Michelle Obama, People magazine asked if there were role models the First Lady looked at to think "When I'm 70 or 80, I want to look and live like her?"

Mrs. Obama thought of actresses: Cicely Tyson, and then that "politically savvy, sharp woman" named Jane Fonda, age 76:

"I just went to see Cicely Tyson on Broadway. She is in her 80s [just turned 80 in December] and did a two-hour play with stamina and passion. I told her 'I want to be you when I grow up!'" And then she added: "There's Jane Fonda, a beautiful, engaged, politically savvy, sharp woman."

Last November, new U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power sounded a similar note:

“Hi everybody,” Power said, according to a transcript. “You know life has changed when you’re hanging out with Jane Fonda backstage. There is no greater embodiment of being outspoken on behalf of what you believe in — and being 'all in' in every way — than Jane Fonda. And it’s a huge honor just to even briefly have shared the stage with her.”

There is no greater embodiment of being outspoken on behalf of what you believe in ... and it’s a huge honor just to even briefly have shared the stage with her!

A nation that doesn’t hang its traitors ends being lead by them.

Fonda: Once pretty on the outside, always ugly on the inside.

Robinson/Obama: Always ugly on the outside, even uglier on the inside.

I heard, with my own ears, and saw, in person, a fine gentleman, tell, to an audience of military, their families, his former jail mates from a POW camp in Hanoi, with whom he’d been with there for six and seven years, and their families, most of whom, when these guys wee in Hanoi, did not know whether the guys were alive or dead, for seven years, tell us that Jane Fonda had been brought to them, in Hanoi, and the guys had been marched out and told to greet the North Viet Namese colonel’s special guest, Jane Fonda, to this day, an expert in propaganda

The guys, thinking she was there to subversively help them, passed a list to her giving them their social security numbers. Jane Fonda, he said, and they all concurred, gave the list to the NVN Colonel, who was pissed and then tortured them more than usual because of it

These guys were regularly forced to cel up into a ball and were tied in that position for days at a time, left with no lights in in solitary in boxes smaller than six feet by four feet, tied to the ceiling with their wrists together in back, with permanent damage to their chest muscles, fed rice in urine, and what was done to them after Jane Fonda’s betrayal, and because of it, was much worse, resulting in death to a couple of them

That shevwas not found guilty in court of aiding and abetting the enemy during war is no reason for anyone to doubt this story.

And anyone who cares to pope in with the usual that story was proven wrong can check with the River Rats or take their place alongside Michelle Obama, who, along with her husband cannot be, as all liberal, amoral, history denying liberals, that marcus luttrell’s story is so well received.

They passed their as numbers to her in hopes she would send word to their families and the government that they are still alive

Imagine their disappointment and discouragement

Imagine what kind of explanation and apology is due

Of course Michelle and Barack admire Jane Fonda. Hanoi Jane was an open traitor while the Obamas were still aspiring to that status.

Fonda was in Hanoi when I was at Pleiku. I prayed for a B-52 strike everyday she was there.

Jane Fonda, another Hollywood and international slut heard from.

She got it from Roger Vadim, her first husband, who indoctrinated her into communism.

Then came attorney and nutcase Mark Lane, a red through and through. Fraudulent book, “Unsafe at any Speed”. Jamestown attorney for marxist leader Jim Jones. Joined numerous communist fronts over the years before going with some far-right anarco-libertarians.

Then she married Hanoi’s top operative in the US (besides Cora Weiss), Tom Hayden. Hayden, according to one of his former comrades, wanted to become the leader of the communist movement in the US. Instead he became a California State Senator. Same thing, isn’t it?

Then she married hit-in-the-head too many times millionaire Ted Turner. He knew that he should have ducked when the boom swings on his sailing ships. But no, he was the boss. Couldn’t tell him a thing. BONK.

Now Fonda is a 75 year old something or other. Oh, I remember, TRAITOR.

Yep, “Barbarella” was definitely Oscar material. King Oscar sardine can material. And stank like it too.

“Still a commie skank after all these years.” These were the words I used to rewrite a Paul Simon song line.

Oh Jane. How much blood money did you raise for KGB agent Wilfred Burchett back in 1977 during his US tour? How much did Norman Lear contribute? America wants to know.

The torture you described was accurate. However, according to POWS I know, there never was a note that was given to Fonda.

One of the most persistent myths from our side. Nobody seems to know who or where it originated. Everything said about it has been hearsay so far.

If anyone has a firsthand source for the story, please tell us.

I’m confident the Country will look back on this era in embarrassment and disgrace.

Suddenly, Cher’s unhappines with Obie makes sense. I’ll bet Chelle didn’t mention her.

Another reason why Barbara Bush thinks the world of the Obamas. Oh, for a President Reagan once more.
