      The Ron Paul Phenomenon David C. Stolinsky Jan. 4, 2012 The strong showing of presidential hopeful Ron Paul is surprising many conservatives, who find his rigid view of the role of government to be narrow, even extreme. They find his former statements and associates to be questionable if not objectionable. They find his plan to cut the military drastically to be reckless. They find his notion that these cuts be executed by associates of George Soros to be dangerous. What next − Jane Fonda as secretary of Defense? Why not? Where, exactly, does Paul’s foreign policy of “blame...

    Alas, poor Jane. When home shopping network QVC canceled a July 16 appearance to promote “Primetime,” her new book on aging, Jane Fonda took to her blog, complaining that the broadcaster had capitulated to “well funded and organized political extremist groups” still unhappy with her 1972 visit to North Vietnam. Miss Fonda, 73, then posted a 4,200-word entry titled, “The Truth About My Trip to Hanoi”

    73 year-old, two time Academy Award-winner Jane Fonda spends 4200-plus words “explaining” her infamous 1972 trip to Hanoi where she was infamously photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese (translation: the enemy) anti-aircraft gun (translation: a weapon used to kill American pilots). Not sure it’s worth a read. Up to you. But the real meat is buried under thousands of words: ... Frankly, the trip ... was a humanitarian mission, not a political trip. My goal was to expose and try to halt the bombing of the dikes. (The bombing of the dikes ended a month after my return from Hanoi)...

Jane was supposed to appear this morning to promote her new book, "Prime Time."

    From the times news coverage of the Tucson shooting began streaming across television screens till now, there has been a concerted effort to affix blame for the shooting on conservatives like Sarah Palin and bodies of conservatism, like the Tea Party. And while these efforts have been carried out by seeming equal numbers of Democrat officeholders and media talking heads like the always embarrassing Keith Olbermann, three people who have predominated in these efforts are Michael Moore, Jane Fonda, and Kathy Griffin: a trio I’ve personally dubbed “The Shameless Trifecta.”

In an e-mail sent Wednesday, the state party points out an Oct. 13, 1981, Los Angeles Times story about Brown’s defense of a spate of controversial 1979 appointments he made in part to generate left-wing support for his nascent primary challenge to then-President Jimmy Carter. This year, Brown, a Democrat, is running for his old job as governor against former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, a Republican. Brown held the governorship from 1975 until 1983—and the GOP’s reminder, 29...

Without specifying what aspect of the "Hanoi Jane" story she considered to be a fallacy, though the "Product Description" at Amazon.com seems to shed some light on what she was referring to, she claimed that author Jerry Lembcke’s new book, "Hanoi Jane: War, Sex, and Fantasies of Betrayal," is "about the myth," and asserted that it is "sad" that some conservatives are "still stuck...

    The year 2005 is ending as it began, with another successful election in Iraq and a liberal media still flapping around trying to find other controversies to submerge it. It does not matter to them that a Gallup poll found that 74 percent of Americans express confidence in their military, but only 28 percent express confidence in their newspapers or TV news outlets. The "mainstream" media excels in excoriating the performance of nearly everyone else, but acts as if nothing they do should be held up as ineffective, inaccurate or just plain absurd.

    The death of Pol Pot, 23 years to the day after he and the Khmer Rouge seized control of Cambodia, occasioned long backward glances at one of the 20th century's most horrific genocides. It was noted everywhere that the communist reign of terror in Cambodia lasted nearly four years and that at least 1 million human beings -- by some estimates as many as 2 1/2 million -- were murdered in an orgy of executions, torture, and starvation. "In the name of a radical utopia," The New York Times recalled in its long obituary, "the Khmer Rouge regime had turned...

In a wistful post titled "So Long Old Knee" on her Web site, Fonda wrote that her knee joint was to "be sawed out and in its place will go a titanium rod and ceramic joint." According to Fonda, it had been "a strong, faithful knee." She said it helped her "up a lot of steep mountains and across rugged terrain." And she recalled smooches by former husband Roger Vadim (vah-DEEM'), who liked to...

The Boston Globe, for example, proclaimed that "GreenStone gives women an outlet." Business Week described the venture as "Talk Radio Minus The Testosterone."

The twice Oscar winner and the radio network's co-founder Gloria Steinem have been accused of "putting their own reputations above their female employees' finances."

    FORMER staffers of Green Stone Media, the defunct women's radio network, are grumbling that its founders aren't living up to their feminist creds. Women's libbers Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda are "putting their own reputations above their female employees' finances," one source told Page Six. The recently shuttered station is "refusing to pay severance, and the founders won't file for bankruptcy protection because it would publicly embarrass Jane and Gloria." A spokesperson for Fonda told us, "This is pure speculation. There is no foundation to the accusations and the staff has been informed throughout."

    Where would America be if it weren't for the traitor Jane Fonda? How many American soldiers died because of her antics? >p>Well, Hanoi Jane is back on the anti-American campaign (as if she ever left it). Did anyone happen to see this ad in the New York Times? Jane and her fellow comrades of The World Can't Wait are on their latest campaign to impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney. Didn't you know? They are "war criminals," they openly torture innocent people and they no better than Adolf Hitler. Did you get that? Hitler. You know that a liberal campaign...

    Jane Fonda and a number of other prominent liberal figures have joined a campaign to impeach President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for "war crimes.” An organization calling itself The World Can’t Wait has taken out a full-page ad in Friday’s New York Times seeking donations and announcing upcoming town meetings in several cities. The ad states that the U.S. government under the Bush administration "is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq.” But the campaign is about more than just the Iraq war. Under the headline "2008 Is Too Late, the ad reads: "What harm...

    A feminist dream team is doing its best to get more women's views into the news. Old friends Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda visited the Sun-Times Wednesday as new business partners in the New York-based Women's Media Center. They want to serve as a resource for journalists, they said, and influence the coverage of issues critical to women. And it's all critical, noted Steinem. "Every issue is a woman's issue," she told the Sun-Times editorial board. There aren't just two sides to every story, she said, although cable news has gotten into the habit of scheduling two (male) talking heads...

    Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation ^ | August 23, 2005 | Prof. Robert Turner Posted on 08/24/2005 9:07:04 AM PDT by Interesting Times Jane Fonda is a beautiful and talented actress. But for many Vietnam veterans, she is remembered more as a despicable traitor whose betrayal undermined the sacrifices of millions of American soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen – and in the process contributed significantly to a Communist victory in Indochina that led to the slaughter of millions of innocent human beings and the consignment of tens of millions of others to a Communist gulag that continues to rank among the...

    "...I was now a tortured, beaten, starving hulk designated as the “Blackest of Criminals” in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and an official “Yankee Air Pirate” (eligible to be hung from the yardarm, having been caught in the act of piracy). I was alone, separated from all my shipmates. I did not know whom to trust, what the rules of my new mess happened to be, or what was expected of me in this new and strange form of warfare I was about to embark upon. The walls had more banging and knocking than the whole hull of the venerable...
