GO AWAY JANE

WHY WON'T JANE FONDA GO AWAY?

Michelle's Opinion--Right off the Bat

Instead of waiting until you finish reading this news piece before I put in my usual '2 cents', I must harp immediately. I am sick and tired of stupid, uneducated, egotistical, self-righteous, pampered actors using their fame to get involved with government issues and announcing their opinion to all regarding this war. First of all, you people are ACTORS. Not politicans, not government officials, not soldiers, not anything except flakey, overpaid, mediocre talent. Please take my advice--stick to your day job. Don't voice your opinion and influence the millions of stupid Americans who can't think for themselves. Don't brainwash and market your great 'wisdom' to all the young people who look up to you and immediately believe every word that comes out of your pathetic mouths. In the case presented, I would like to tell Ms. Fonda to stick to the movies. Here's a thought: how about a "9-to-5 " Sequel? Do whatever it is you do, Jane. Go play tennis and drink martinis. Do your charity functions, speak at your award shows, get massages and relax at a weekend spa, shop on Rodeo with your ugly little weiner dog propped in your bag. Get your nails done, get a facelift and make another workout video for old ladies like yourself. You have no business getting involved in an already terrible situation that Bush and his administration has put not only Americans in, but the ENTIRE WORLD as well. Jane, if you are against the war, donate money and set up trusts and educational funds for the children who have lost their mother or father in the war. Donate your time, compassion and some cash to a grieving 24-year old widow and help her get back on her feet. There are many other ways to voice your 1st Amendment right.

'JIHAD JANE' STRIKES AGAIN?

Round two: Hanoi Jane is back in action. Fonda has announced plans for a cross-country bus tour this spring to protest the war in Iraq. It will be Fonda's first anti-war protest since Vietnam, when she was infamously photographed atop a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun. Actress Jane Fonda has launched an anti-Iraq war protest - infuriating veterans still seething from her Vietnam antics. It's her first active campaigning since being photographed laughing as she sat on a gun used by North Vietnamese troops to blow U.S. aircraft from the sky. The wounds from that stunt are still far from healed. "She should keep her mouth shut," said Iraq veteran Lee Hadziyianis, 33, of New Hyde Park, Queens. "She did enough damage in Vietnam. We don't need that again." Hadziyianis, a military police officer

and weapons specialist, went into Baghdad in May 2003. He returned to New York last year. "What does she expect to achieve?" he said. "The decision makers aren't going to be influenced by her. Even if they are, pulling the troops out early would mean all those guys who died died in vain. We need to finish the job, and having somebody with her reputation making a noise from home helps nobody." "It's like putting gasoline on a bonfire for so many veterans who will never forget what she did in Vietnam," said American Legion spokeswoman Ramona Joyce. "We don't want to see a Baghdad Jane."

SYNOPSIS OF WHY VETERANS HATE THE WORKOUT QUEEN

For those of you who are not familiar with HISTORY, shame on you. So here's a 'reader's digest' version of why Jane Fonda is such an idiot and hated by millions.

Background of Jane's Political Faux Pau

During a 1972 trip to North Vietnam, Jane Fonda propagandized on behalf of the North Vietnamese government, declaring that American POWs were being treated humanely and condemned U.S. soldiers as "war criminals". She later denounced them as liars for claiming they had been tortured. She began a two-week tour of the country conducted by uniformed military hosts. Fonda posed for pictures in which she was shown applauding North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gunners, was photographed peering into the sights of an NVA anti-aircraft artillery launcher, and made ten propagandistic Tokyo Rose-like radio broadcasts in which she denounced American political and military leaders as "war criminals." She then carefully arranged for a "press conference," with 8 POWs who had been tortured by their North Vietnamese captors. After setting them up she attempted to force them to deny they had been tortured, and decry the American war effort. Fonda apparently didn't notice (or care) that the POWs were delivering their lines under duress or find it unusual the she was not allowed to visit the prisoner-of-war camp (commonly known as the "Hanoi Hilton") itself. She merely went home and told the world that "[the POWs] assured me they were in good health. When I asked them if they were brainwashed, they all laughed. Without exception, they expressed shame at what they had done." She did, however, charge that North Vietnamese POWs were systematically tortured in American prison-of-war camps. To add insult to injury, when American POWs finally began to return home (some of them having been held captive for up to nine years) and described the tortures they had endured at the hands of the North Vietnamese, Fonda cried, "Do not hail to the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars!" Fonda said the idea that the POWs she had met in Vietnam that had been tortured was "laughable". She stated, "These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed." She claimed the POWs that were tortured were "exaggerating, probably for their own self-interest.” She told audiences that "Never in the history of the United States have POWs come home looking like football players. These football players are no more heroes than Custer was. They're military careerists and professional killers" who are "trying to make themselves look self-righteous, but they are war criminals according to law."

AN EXAMPLE OF HOW KARMA WORKS:

While promoting her autobiography in Kansas City, April 2005, there was one 54-year-old Vietnam Veteran who stood in line for 90 minutes. He wasn't there to buy or read Fonda’s book or get her autograph. When he finally approached her, he told her he was a Vietnam Veteran and then spat tobacco juice in her face. Ironically, Fonda declined not to press charges.
