Shaun, you are beautiful and have such an inspiring presence!
I'm a "Baby Boomer" and so Jane Fonda is a generational heroine of mine--she has aged beautifully, gracefully, and her wisdom remains intact, too! Those who couldn't appreciate her stance during the Viet Nam War have gotten a "retake" of the reason for her philosophy with yet another war, i.e. the devastation of the Iraq War and it's negative impact on the psyche of mankind. Personally, I have cried for our Iraqi sisters, brothers, and our young Americans who have been a part of this blood shed!
All of Jane Fonda's films have been great but I have two favorites (1) "Barefoot in the Park" with Robert Redford (another favorite actor) and (2) "On Golden Pond" with the late greats Katherine Hepburn and Jane's father, Henry Fonda!
Hopefully, Jane Fonda and Robert Redford won't fold their Actor's nor Director's Chairs for awhile!

I read & heard, that Jane Fonda is a Christian. That is great!, but it must be difficult, working in Hollywood.

I do remember Hano Jane speaking against the American Soilders. My brother and cousin fought in that war. She sez Lindsey has no to little value for an up bringing. Please, what was Jane's when she was speaking against American Soliders? What advise was she wanting to give Lindsey, "How to help the Taliban?" No Jane we do remember you when you were in your 20 and compaired to Lindsey I'll take Lindsey over you anyday. And now you say your a christian. Please did you forget the leason of "Cast not the first stone?". Or, how about since your up bringing is so much better, "Didn't anyone tell you if you don't have anything nice to say "Don't say it at all". But I guess there is parking for your high horse at your house!
Lets not talk about your family and it's value because
your just like everyone else, dysfuntical!!!!

Jane Fonda really was a traitor and all her movies should be boycotted!
This is for all the kids born in the 70's that don’t remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear. Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam, men such as Larry Carrigan, Jerry Driscoll, and Ronald D. Sampson, who should never be forgotten.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton", the first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action". His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand! When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed to her their sliver of paper. She took them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper. Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.
Jerry Driscoll, a U.S. Navy F-4E pilot was a POW in Ho Lo Prison the "Hanoi Hilton." Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace Activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward on to the camp Commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk. In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.
RONALD D. SAMPSON, CMSgt, USAF 716 Maintenance Squadron, Chief of Maintenance DSN: 875-6431 COMM: 883-6343, was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years. He spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a "black box" in Hanoi. His North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam , whom he buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, he weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.). When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, Ronald was asked by the camp communist political officer if he would be willing to meet with her. Ronald said yes, for he wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received... and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient." Because of this, he spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with his arms outstretched with large steel weights placed on his hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane. Ronald had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after he was released. He asked her if she would be willing to debate him on TV. She never did answer him.
These men were "war criminals" to Jane Fonda, whose first-hand experiences exemplify an actress whose despicable blatant treason should never be forgotten. Adding insult to injury, Jane Fonda was honored by Barbra Walter in 1996 as one of the "100 Women of the Century." Lest we forget..." 100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that we will never forget.
IF YOU NEVER FORWARDED ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE FORWARD THIS SO THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW!!!!!!
