Hanoi Jane Fonda Blames Her Treasonous Acts on Right-Wingers
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, April 6, 2010, 5:55 AM
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.
Hanoi Jane with her commie friends.
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.

“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.

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.

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.
g6loq commented:
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.
Dan Maloney commented:
I guess we are part of Jane’s right wing conspiracy…

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.

Opaobie commented:
I’m one of the Pilots who arrived in Vietnam shortly after TRAITOR Hanoi Jane Fonda posed giggling for her infamous photo pretending to shoot down American Pilots. I guess she was thinking of guys like me, husband, father of two, the youngest only two weeks old when I left for Vietnam. The only “myth” is her version of her actions. If you want a comprehensive source of facts about traitors like Hanoi Jane Fonda and John Fraud Kerry, visit WinterSoldier.com
Al Hubbard, shown in the photo, was the Executive Director of the “Vietnam Veterans Against the War”. Most were frauds, either never in the military or deserters or dishonorably discharged bums or outright Communists. A few were disillusioned veterans, as we always have in every war. Some stole the identities of actual veterans and “testified” at the “Winter Soldier” fraud in Detroit. The Naval and Army Intelligence agencies investigated every claim of “atrocities” claimed by the VVAW, and none could be validated.
Al Hubbard claimed to be a USAF Captain and Pilot who had been wounded when his plane was shot up landing at DaNang (one of the bases where I was assigned). He had never been assigned to Vietnam, he was a Seargent, and he injured himself playing basketball. THAT PHOTO is the face of the Left: liars, frauds, and America-hating traitors. No, Hanoi Jane, it is NOT a “myth“, it is “HISTORY“.

I think Fonda is going to have a little problem spinning her treachery on her judgement day.

Joanne commented:
Jane Fonda is a traitor – traitors are shot in war. She should count her lucky stars.
Darwin Akbar commented:
After WWII, Lord Haw Haw (William Joyce) was convicted of treason and hanged by the British. Axis Sally and Toyko Rose were also convicted of treason and went to prison. In contrast, Jane Fonda commits treason, becomes a millionaire, and still has the gall to complain that she was treated unfairly. She is, for lack of a better word, repulsive.
Newton #29: While it is good news to hear that the Nanny-State Labor Party will be thrown out of office by the British public, the Tories are almost as big a bunch of nanny-staters and are just as Israel hating as their leftist friends. Check out Melanie Philips’ blog at the UK Spectator, where she points out how the Tories are cheerfully going to go along with the “tough stance” taken by Obama against Israel. Therefore, even if they win, Britian is still probably doomed.
Jerry Magliano commented:
And the biggest scum bag of all was John Kerry who the morons in Massachusetts have seen fit to elect to the US Senate for multiple terms and who was the nominee of the Democrat party for president in 2004. Pretty amazing that he now chairs the same Senate Foreign Relations committee before which he gave false testimony that members of our Armed Forces were committing war crimes in Vietnam. His lies played right into the hands of the North Vietnamese propaganda which was accusing our POW’s of being war criminals. Fonda is bad enough, Kerry is a worthless POS.

In related news, Charles Manson complained that his parole board is “stuck in the past” and needs to “get a life”.

Vietnam and the Media
excerpt:
[Ignorance of military and Southeast Asia matters, of communist revolutionary warfare, fueled by potential for lucrative career advancement, unwilling or unable to report on South Vietnamese or Laotian troops except in cases of failure, apparently enthused by the visual impact of war and the destruction it causes, sometimes disdainful of South Vietnamese if not American troops while ignoring Australian, Korean, Thai, and New Zeland forces, the news media proved incapable of depicting Vietnam, and Hanoi's War, in its entirety . The American public saw the same "bang-bang" every year, and were misled into assuming nothing had changed, nothing was accomplished. Allied temporary defeats were portrayed as permanent setbacks, while victories and accomplishments went unreported, or were, with smug theatrics, cast aside as government propaganda.
News media misrepresentation not only misled and uninformed the American public, but also prohibited its ability to think and make logical inferences on its own.
In the final analysis, Vietnam, Southeast Asia, Hanoi's war, and American involvement could not be, and cannot be, understood, in good part because of media failings, moral, intellectual, and otherwise. Without recognizing this, and knowing that what was reported was not the all-comprehensive truth of the matter, the subject itself cannot be understood. Overall, and efforts of responsible reporters notwithstanding, the nature and extent of news media failure in Vietnam exceeds that of allied military forces who were attempting to and succeeding, despite documented lies and bumbling, to stop Hanoi's War. Many people died and millions more have greatly suffered simply because the whole story was never told. And because what was portrayed in media reporting was demonstrably not, to use the famous Cronkite phrase, "the way it is."
[..]
“Illusionary events reported by the press as well as real events within the press corps were more decisive than the clash of arms or the contention of ideologies. For the first time in modern history, the outcome of a war was determined not on the battlefield but on the printed page, and above all, on the television screen. ”
Looking back coolly, I believe it can be said that South Vietnam and American forces actually won the limited military struggle. They virtually crushed the Viet Cong in the South, the “native” guerillas who were directed, reinforced, and equipped from Hanoi, and thereafter they threw back the invasion by regular North Vietnamese divisions. Nonetheless, the war was finally lost to the invaders after the U.S. disengagement because the political pressures built up by the media had made it quite impossible for Washington to maintain even the minimal material and moral support that would have enabled the Saigon regime to continue effective resistance.”
[..]
“Never before Vietnam had the collective policy of the media sought by graphic and unremitting distortion, the victory of the enemies of the correspondents own side.”]

Timeline of Defeat
[Here's a pop quiz about Vietnam. When the 94th United States Congress finally pulled the plug on American support, how many of our GIs were still fighting in Vietnam? The question was posed to us the other evening by Secretary of State Kissinger, full of sagacity and wisdom 30 years after the events in question. We guessed somewhere on the order of 100,000, down from the more than half a million American military personnel who had been in Vietnam at the height of the fighting. But Mr. Kissinger had us.
It turns out that when the Congress pulled the plug on Vietnam, the number of our U.S. troops in Vietnam was zero. When, in the 1974 elections, the Democrats widened their majority in the Congress and then, in the spring of 1975, finally defied President Ford and ended support for the free Vietnamese government in the South, the number of GIs was something on the order of two or three dozen, mostly embassy guards.
This is something to think about as the Democrats maneuver against a war-time president over funding for our GIs and our ally in a free Iraq. It turns out that when one looks at the time-line of the betrayal of South Vietnam, one of the lessons is that, in the end, it was not about our GIs and the loss of American lives, great though that treasure was. Our GIs had long since been drawn down, as President Nixon fulfilled his campaign promise of Vietnamization of the war.]
[The Congress, however, wasn't prepared to stake them, despite the fact that South Vietnam was our ally in the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. In October 1974, the 93rd Congress voted to end foreign aid to Vietnam. President Ford vetoed the measure. Congress, after an election that expanded the Democratic majority by 48 seats in the House and five in the Senate, overrode the veto. In the Spring, the 94th Congress blocked military appropriations for the South Vietnamese. It was not about our GIs. They had long since gone. A country of 50 million individuals who had sided with America and yearned for freedom was cast into the dark night of communist tyranny.]
***
So what are the Democrats thinking today? Is this the direction in which they want to go? President Bush’s threat of a veto appears to have forced them to abandon a timeline for defeat in Iraq. But Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi have made it clear they are going to keep trying. What was it about the Communists that the Democrats wanted to give them Indochina, a region with as many persons as Eastern Europe? And what is it about our Islamist enemies that makes the Democrats so determined to abandon a free Iraq? The tragedy of Vietnam taught that this is the question that needs to be asked and answered and that a default will haunt the politicians now in power for generations, as their own children and the children of our GIs demand to know their motives.]

So can we say Hanoi Jane Fonda is a “Vietnam War Denier” in the same category as all the “Holocaust Deniers”? She’s also a “Global Warming Truther”. What else is she? She’s an avowed Communist.

How North Vietnam Won The War
[Q: Was the American antiwar movement important to Hanoi's victory?
A: It was essential to our strategy. Support of the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable. Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9 a.m. to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement. Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda, and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses. We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war and that she would struggle along with us.]
What’s A Few Hundred Thousand Lives To A Democrat?
excerpt (from Wikipedia):
[Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese officials, particularly ARVN officers, were imprisoned in reeducation camps after the Communist takeover. Tens of thousands died and many fled the country after being released. Up to two million civilians left the country, and as many as half
of these boat people perished at sea.
(snip)
After repeated border clashes in 1978, Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea (Cambodia) and ousted the Khmer Rouge. As many as two million died during the Khmer Rouge genocide.]
excerpt (from Iowa Voice):
[The reason why Kerry wants you to believe that when we left Vietnam, it "wasn't that bad" is so they can force the notion on the American people that we can leave Iraq and it, like Vietnam, won't be "that bad." Nice try at rewriting history, Senator but, like your pal Webb the other day, you fail.]

Two tours in Vietnam, Jane (DUD) Fonda will never have my forgiveness.The hate I hold for this worthless POS traitor can never be expressed. The fact our Government gave her a pass on her traitorous behavior only confirms my deep distrust of the liberals in Congress. If I should outlive her I will spit (or worse) on her grave, just as her Berkeley friends did on returning Vets. A prim example of Hollywood scum mentality as practiced by rich spoiled brats. .
eaglewingz08 commented:
Jane “I did not have political relations with those commie Viet Cong” Fonda, joins the illustrious pantheon of democrap sellouts of America, including the neer deep do do well, Jean Fraude Ketchup (“I’m a war (antiwar) hero, now just elect me King, you rabble”); Bill (“I never had sexual relations with THAT woman”) Clinton; John (“I’m not your baby daddy”) Edwards; Eliot (“Prostitution No. 9, No. 9, No. 9″) Spitzer; and Barack (“Healthcare Disaster”) Obama.
Now she’s blaming rightwingers because we remember her evil words and deeds. Talk about a stunning lack of character. And the horrific actions and omissions of Larry King with respect to Jane and her liberal cohort are beyond words.

Some people make terrible choices, and then spend the rest of their lives trying to justify those choices, or trying to blame others for them. Like many women who have had abortions. The only cure is to admit you were wrong, but that is the toughest choice of all. Otherwise you’re just digging yourself deeper and deeper into the hole. Warning to you young people out there: Beware of life-destroying choices. You may have to live with them for the rest of your life.

She should have been tried, convicted, and executed while her brother looked on.PERIOD!!

Gerard F. Keogh Jr. commented:
Since Jane claims that she is telling the truth and everyone else is either hung up on myths or lying outright, then pose this question to her: Since you, Jane, have publicly proclaimed yourself now to be a practicing Christian ( Since your divorce from Ted Turner,and those ARE your words, not mine nor are they fabricated.), then you should be willing now or already have renounced fully and totally your affinity for and devotion to communism. Have you already done so, and, if not, then are you willing to do so now, in a public forum? The two are incompatable and can not exist together. So, which one is it? Are you still a communist now and therefore, lying about your new found religious beliefs or are you truly willing to recant your previous beliefs, in which case, you were wrong then and you owe many people ( Not just a few veterans in New England threatening to shut down your movie with Robert DeNiro.) a full, no holds barred, sincere apology with NO excuses, qualifications or parsing of phrases whatsoever. So, Jane, which one is it? And when you are done with that, you can explain your contemptible anti-Catholic bigotry, which is on record and beyond any legitimate criticism so as to be a screed of incredible malice and sneering rancor.
