Jane Fonda: 'I Have Never Done Anything to Hurt My Country'

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/jane-fonda-i-have-never-done-anything-hu


(CNSNews.com) - Actress Jane Fonda said in a statement posted on her website today that the QVC television channel cancelled an appearance they had scheduled with her today to promote her new book "Prime Time," blaming the cancellation on what she called "well funded and organized political extremist groups."

In the same statement Fonda said, "I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us."

In 1972, during the Vietnam War, Fonda took a two-week trip to North Vietnam, where she was photographed sitting on an antiaircraft gun that North Vietnamese forces otherwise used for shooting at American planes.

When she returned from her sojourn in Vietnam, as Time Magazine reported at the time, she accused U.S. forces of deliberately trying to bomb and destroy dikes, whose destruction could have caused the death of many civilians.

"The outcry was joined by Actress-Activist Jane Fonda," Time reported in its August 7, 1972 edition. "Returning from a two-week trip to Hanoi, where among other things she interviewed several American prisoners of war, she presented a 20-minute film of the visit at a New York press conference that purported to show several recent bomb craters in dikes near Nam Sach, 40 miles southeast of Hanoi, and further damage near the provincial capital of Nam Dinh.

"Hardly a dispassionate witness," Time continued, she said: 'I believe in my heart, profoundly, that the dikes are being bombed on purpose.' From firsthand observation and from pictures shown her by the North Vietnamese, she concluded: Not only the dikes are being bombed, but hydraulic systems, sluice gates, pumping stations and dams as well. The worst damage is done by bombs that fall on both sides of the dikes, causing deep fissures that weaken the base of the dikes.'"

What was it we used to say about our "permenant records" when we were in high school?  Guess what Jane, your permenant record is permenant, it does matter, and it will come back to bite you

Gotta say, its one thing to say dumb stuff and feel bad about it later.But here's the thing. Its another to "lend aid and comfort to the enemy". We all know the difference, even her, and I've yet to hear an apology. Look, I wasn't even born when this crap went down, so I don't get to say when or if she will be/can be forgiven. Still, step one would seem to be a public apology tour to every guy held in the Hanoi Hilton while she was there. If they forgive her, I will, if not, not. Oddly, that tour bus hasn't left the parking lot.

I remember the debate, the only reason she never went to trial was because of her Father.

There ain't even a bus there. She will never apologize cuz she doesn't think - to this day - that she did anything wrong.

I was alive at the time, and even though I was anti-war, I was appalled when the photo of her sitting in the NVN anti-aircraft seat with a NVN helmet on. This event, the burning of the ROTC building on campus, and the subsequent stoning of the fire truck sent to put the damn fire out, completely alienated me from the hard-core commie anti-war crowd. I was still naive, thought the US had no business supporting such a repressive military regime in SVN, but all of the above, and the other "antics" of the leftoids, pushed me away from active participation in the "protests" - aka engineered attacks on the US and related criminal activities.

For the record, Fonda's act of turning in the small scraps of paper with the fliers' SSN's to their NVN torturers earned Hanoi Bitch Fonda a trip to the wall in my book.

Tom, no one went to trial, other than the Chicago 7 and them because of the violence and how pissed off Mayor Daley was that they came into HIS town! Some of the more criminal elements went to trial too, but again, for things like bank robbery and bombing, not "protesting".

Fonda never went to trial, neither did Kerry nor any of the others of their ilk - lying, brainless bastards that they all are. One of the things America 2.0 will have to address is the previous gummints' refusal to seriously protect this company against all enemies - foreign or domestic.

I despise this woman.

Jane Fonda has been lying for the last 4 decades in a futile attempt to try to save her sorry ass from the embarrassment she caused herself, along with this country for her stupid antics. She is no closer to resolving her dilemma now, than she was then. She is turning into nothing more than a repulsive, lying, pathetic, old hag.

She was old enough to know better then, and too stupid to realize it now. So this is what we get. There is an old saying, "When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging!" She hasn't realized this yet, and most likely never will. Her own mouth was, is, and continues to be, her worst enemy.   Bill T.

Jim Wilson posted this on Facebook which brings up a problem with that website.  I can now add a third button to the features Facebook is missing.  Besides the <dislike> and the <jealous> buttons, I now see a need for a <despise> option.

Those scraps of paper and what she did with them are the most damning acts of this traitor.

Whether the soldiers being held in The Hilton were aware of her position on the war or not, they saw her as an American who could carry their 'scrap of Hope" home where the government, and their families, would know they still lived and the government might be able to work to ensure their safe return (scant hope there).  These scraps of paper were also the scraps of hope for the families of those POWs.

Rather than carry the Hopes of her fellow Americans, at least they thought she was a fellow American, home, she performed one of the most despicable acts of betrayal and treachery.  She gave the scraps to their captors, crushing their hope and trust and rendering them, instead, more pain, suffering and torment.

This wasn't a protest of government police or involvement in the war, this was the personal and deliberate betrayal of those individuals who put their trust and hope in this traitor's care.

Her only possible chance of anyone acknowledging an apology of hers as sincere would be if it were delivered in a suicide note.  While even that could never make amends, it might convince some that she finally faced and admitted her damnable acts and chose the only just punishment for herself.
