Jane Fonda admits to betraying the US

You know in 35 years when the rest of this board realizes that they too are stupid and suffered from major lapses in judgement I won't give a shit, just like I don't about this.

Once an anti-American traitor, always an anti-American traitor. Too many people suffered unnecessarily for her actions, sorry, God may forgive you. I don't.
 
[quote name='Scrubking']Reflecting back on her life, the Oscar winner now regrets her controversial photo-op at a North Vietnamese gun site in 1972 that earned her the unbecoming handle "Hanoi Jane," calling the incident a "betrayal" of the American military and "the largest lapse of judgment that I can even imagine."

It's about time BITCH!!

Now it's time to hunt down all those who give aid and comfort to our enemies.[/QUOTE]

I just love the fact that you can say that and have a star wars character in your sig. You do know that the Ewok sidestory was George Lucas's big F U to the US government of the 70s, right? (A government he thought of as being Imperialist, sound familiar...)

I don't agree with Fonda's position at all. I just think the bigger story should have been the massive mistakes made by US generals and politicians in assessing the importance of continuing a futile war. Fonda's just a ditzy actress, is it really important what she thought?
 
Sure, pad, all liberals realize they are anti american traitors. That's why we never see 50,60 etc. year old senators and presidents..... Oh wait, we do.

"The image of Jane Fonda, Barbarella, Henry Fonda's daughter. . .sitting on an enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal," Fonda acknowledged.

The gun turrets were used to shoot down American pilots.

Lest one think the 67-year-old actress and activist might be getting conservative in her old age, Fonda defended going to Hanoi and said she had no regrets about being photographed with American POWs there or making broadcasts on Radio Hanoi because she was trying to stop an unjustified war.

"There are hundreds of American delegations that had met with the POWs," she added. "Both sides were using the POWs for propaganda. . .it's not something that I will apologize for."

Added Fonda: "Our government was lying to us and men were dying because of it, and I felt I had to do anything that I could to expose the lies and help end the war."

It's not that big of a deal, she doesn't regret anything else. Personally I never really had a problem with her anyway.
 
Well maybe if we didn't go to Vietnam in the first place this would never have been an issue.

At least it showed us how stupid the draft was.
 
I wonder if Kerry will ever apologize for his "war crimes" testimony. That would be interesting to hear. I mean something more than his "I was over the top" spiel during the campaign, obviously.

In any case, who the fuck cares about Jane Fonda?!
 
Interesting that the story comes out on April 1st.

Also....

"Fonda dropped the extraordinary bombshell in an interview airing Sunday with 60 Minutes correspondent Leslie Stahl that also served to plug her 600-page memoir, Jane Fonda: My Life So Far, due in stores Apr. 5. "

Just like Pete Rose and Jose Canseco, she is admitting to something to sell a book. That's all.
 
I wonder if Jane Fonda ever contemplated this excuse

"Well you see i was told by President Nixon, to infiltrate the enemy base, with a compact nuclear bomb, inside my thin body, that i would detonate, as soon as i got in their, i was tied up with a manicure, and the flash from the camera, as it turns out, was the key, to disarming the bomb, so i decided the hell with it, ill stay an activist"
