Hanoi Jane Fonda Blames Her Treasonous Acts on Right-Wingers

Commie leftist Jane Fonda blamed the right wing for her treasonous stunts during the Vietnam War.
The American traitor just wants everybody to move on already.
Hanoi Jane told Larry King last night that the right-wingers were the ones to blame for her treasonous actions during the Vietnam War.
NewsBusters reported, via Free Republic:
On Monday’s Larry King Live on CNN, guest Jane Fonda portrayed herself as a victim of a “myth” that was “created” by “right-wingers” about her infamous “Hanoi Jane” visit to Vietnam to protest the Vietnam War. 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 in the past”:
JANE FONDA: No, it’s about the myth, you know, why it is that 300 people went to North Vietnam, people, many people before me, why me, why have they created this myth? You know, when I came back from North Vietnam, there was maybe a quarter of an inch of media about it in the New York Times. Nobody made any big deal out of it. It was created, and some people are stuck-
LARRY KING: By critics?
FONDA: By right wingers. There are some people who are like stuck there, you know, they’re still stuck in the past. I always want to say, “Get a life,” or, you know, “Read what really happened,” you know. The myths are now true.

June, 1970 – John Kerry joins Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), a national veterans group that is part of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. The PCPJ is a broad coalition of local and national organizations, including the Communist Party, USA, “committed to conducting demonstrations aimed at ending the war in Indochina, and poverty, racism and injustice at home.” The VVAW, CCI and PCPJ all have headquarters at 156 Fifth Avenue in New York City. VVAW Executive Secretary Al Hubbard, a former Black Panther, is also on the coordinating committee of the PCPJ. Hubbard soon appoints Kerry to the VVAW’s Executive Committee, bypassing the normal election process. (Winter Soldier- Free Republic)
Here are a few of the treasonous acts that Hanoi Jane is now blaming on right-wingers:
In July-August 1972 Fonda made her infamous trip to North Vietnam. By this time, over 50,000 Americans had been killed in the war. While there, she posed for pictures on an anti-aircraft gun that had been used to shoot down American planes, and she volunteered to do a radio broadcast from Hanoi. She made approximately eight radio addresses, during which she told American pilots in the area:
“Use of these bombs or condoning the use of these bombs makes one a war criminal … Examine the reasons given to justify the murder you are being paid to commit … I don’t know what your officers tell you … but [your] weapons are illegal and that’s not just rhetoric … The men who are ordering you to use these weapons are war criminals according to international law, and in the past, in Germany and Japan, men who committed these kinds of crimes were tried and executed.”
Fonda also quoted Ho Chi Minh during some of these broadcasts. She referred to President Richard Nixon as a “new-type Hitler,” and advised South Vietnamese soldiers to desert: “You are being used as cannon fodder for U.S. imperialism.”
These radio addresses were aired repeatedly by the North Vietnamese Communists.

Hey, Jane, denial is not a river in Egypt. Liberals especially liberal traitors like Jane are always justifying their errant behavior by projecting it on their opposites.

Myth my …… I was in country when her visit to North Viet Nam was published in the Stars and Stripes. Guess that makes me a proud right winger.
Cynic commented:
The fault always belongs to somebody else. Your parents, society, Republicans, religious right…..you can use just about any excuse. The emphasis is on excuse.

“Read what really happened”
Yes Ms Fonda. Please do that. Do actual historic research, then come again. I know what happened. I did my homework. No joke, I once created a character for a role playing session who was a Vietnam vet. I usually do extensive research for characters, thus I did my research for this charater also in the Vietnam war.
BTW, the US didn’t lose Vietnam.
OMG, I’m in Europe and I say things like that! But you see, common “myth (the only myth there is) around here has it that the US lost Vietnam.
Hanoi Jane. If I ever see her, I’ll spit on her. I usually don’t do things like that, especially not to women, but she’s no woman, nor does she deserve respect.

Projecting much?

If you can still find it anywhere, read Robby Risner’s (I am not sure that I spelled his name correctly) book, “The Passing of the Night”. He spent 7.5 years in the Hanoi Hilton. He will tell you all you need to know about Jane’s visit to N. Vietnam and the impact on our POWs.
Chisum commented:
Jane, sorry but some things are unforgettable AND unforgivable.
Pat the First commented:
Okay, here is a link to Risner’s book on Amazon. It is quite a book. I cried through it the first time I read it.

Ruth commented:
Sorry Jane. I lived through it and I will never forget. Right wingers did not make you go and were ashamed and rightfully angry that you did. I was and am a right winger and if I could have stopped you from going I would have. You own this one.

How they always accuse you of that they’ve been doing!
After the Normandy landing there were purges of those who supported the German Socialist effort.
France alone was 120,000.
Ed Rasimus commented:
I was flying F-4Es out of Korat Thailand in 1972. I’d done an earlier tour in the F-105 from the same base. A lot of friends were POWs in the camps. They all tell the same stories about the treatment related to the visits from Fonda, Clark, Kerry, etc. It wasn’t a conspiracy then and it isn’t a conspiracy now. It is fact.
We were briefed on her presence during the visit. We were cautioned about dropping near her location. In retrospect, maybe a violation of those restrictions might have been a worthwhile sacrifice for the long run.

I guess we are part of Jane’s right wing conspiracy…

I am sure Jodie Evans will say the same thing in 40 years.
No Man commented:
I’m surprised she didn’t blame Bush.
She was once married to Tom Hayden, some commie scumbag that went in country for the NVA and escorted out one of the two US Army POW’s them glorious mass murders didn’t torture to death.
I wouldn’t piss on either of them if they were on fire.
Jane Fonda commented:
But, but–the other guys did it first! And, it wasn’t a big f’ing deal, and anyway it’s not true. You’re big meanies, why don’t you just shut up about it?
Zoltan commented:
I’ve read the memoirs of returned Vietnam POWs. All of them suffered physical torture as a direct result of Fonda’s visit. She then returned to the US and lied and said that our POWs were being treated humanely. I will never, ever forgive her for this.
Mary commented:
Huh.
What’s the statute of limitations on treason?
