The burden of evil people is to be afraid to die. It is part of the punishment for living lives of evil.

Oh, brother...

Good observation. I certainly hope Hanoi Jane hasn't gone on all these years thinking we're immortals. She should have heard this quotation at least once in her life: There is nothing certain in this life except death and taxes.

We should all be very very relieved that we are not each other's final judge.

Have you considered authoring the inserts for fortune cookies?

 

[Mr. H.]

I ain't fonda Fonda.

Really? Because Ms. Fonda stood up and said, "hey, this Vietnam War is a really, really stupid idea", we did eventually get out of there, saving thousands of American lives.

I guess she could have said nothing and concentrated on her acting career.

I ain't fonda either!

 

[Connery]

She was a tool. I do not feel for her one way or the other.

Hanoi Jane.................

Oh well, let her cry.

 

[Big Black Dog]

Fuck Jane Fonda. She's a complete asshole.

 

[JoeB131]

Fuck Jane Fonda. She's a complete asshole.

As opposed to the politicians and generals who insisted on fighting a war in Vietnam that they knew from the start was unwinnable?

 

[Toro]

60,000 Americans died in a stupid war because of Jane Fonda.

Oh wait, did I say "Jane Fonda?" I meant to say "American politicians."

Still, what a bitch.

Bet you never thought you would hear me say that. (Niether did I) But really I have to thank you for that link to Rick Perlsteins article. He absolutely destroys the foundation of the anti-Jane cult. And the lies and urban legends that engulfed her because of her antiwar stand. He draws a poignant picture of a true American patriot. Of her grace and poise even in the face of persecution by Nixonites and constant harrassment by the FBI.
The story of her cathartic meeting in Waterbury with Veterans was especially meaninful. The Veterans who had come to the meeting full of hate left without the lies and recrimination. As one said, "That was the beginning of my healing."

And so the cults of hate in America should take a lesson from Janes story. Hate is nurtured by lies and propaganda. Now I know you won't mind if I copy and paste a few excerpts from your article;

"A doctored photograph was circulated (it showed up in several newspapers) showing Kerry on a speakers’ platform with Fonda. The picture was found to be a fake, but the association had already been planted. ‘John Kerry with Tits’: five syllables full of implications for the politics of gender, power and anxiety in America".

" a former pow, Air Force Major Fred Cherry, recalled Fonda’s voice ringing out over the prison public address system during an ‘extended torture siege’ in 1967. Fonda didn’t speak out against the war until 1970. (She visited Hanoi in 1972-S.B.)"

"No wonder Nixon was keen to attack Fonda. Her visit to the pows provided the occasion. Fonda, who was carrying 200 letters from the pows’ families, was asked if she would like to meet any prisoners personally. All the captives she met were volunteers, all openly critical of the war. Of course this was the opposite of what the urban legends suppose: that they were tortured into seeing her. But that is the reason the urban legends exist. They are a prophylactic against the anxiety that these pows, the symbolic stand-ins for American innocence, had stabbed themselves in the back."

"The cult matured in the 1980s when America finally began to accept that it had lost a war which hadn’t been worth fighting in the first place. This was around the time Ronald Reagan observed: ‘Boy, I saw Rambo last night. Now I know what to do next time this happens.’ The moment had come to fix the blame where it properly belonged: not on Lyndon Johnson, not on Richard Nixon, but, as Burke points out, on the oldest story in the world, ‘the seductive woman who turns out to be a snake"

OK, that's enough. Thanks Again-S.B.

Yabut, the facts aren't near as interesting as the lies.

She did a hell of a lot more then that. She went to North Vietnam and was photographed sitting in a loaded active anti aircraft weapon. Further she broke into military bases and attempted to incite riots.
