The "TraitorJane Fonda" email recirculates!

[Ilsa]

Here's what I said in my Reply To All:

Has anyone ever wondered if it could be possible that someone might tag some antigovt or terrorist threat to these emails that get circulated? The FBI might come calling, so maybe we should read and verify these emails before passing them on.

Claim: Jane Fonda betrayed U.S. POWs during the Viet Nam War.

Status: Multiple:

• During a 1972 trip to North Vietnam, Jane Fonda propagandized on behalf of the North Vietnamese government, declared that American POWs were being treated humanely and condemned U.S. soldiers as "war criminals" and later denounced them as liars for claiming they had been tortured: True.
• Jane Fonda handed over to their captors the slips of paper POWs pressed upon her: False.
• In 1999, Jane Fonda was profiled in ABC's A Celebration: 100 Years of Great Women: True.

Fonda has publicly asked for forgiveness for her actions on multiple occasions. I suppose God has forgiven her since she has become a Christian. Too bad very few others have any forgiveness in their hearts.

Sincerely, Ilsa

1. We need to start writing our own emails.

Cut the freepers off at the pass!

4. Huh huh. Huh huh huh. George said "shit" today. huh huh.

That would be enough to start a virtual email war with this loopy email group.

2. I never "forgave" her because I didn't think she was guilty of anything.

Still don't.

3. She didn't do anything to me.

She hasn't offended me, and she has apologized to those she did harm. What right do I have to criticize her?

5. Nor did I.

And I am sick to death of this b***s*** from the real underminers of Justice and Democracy...the neocon war-worshippers.

6. Long live Jane Fonda. I like her acting. I like her citizenship. I like

the way she treats others.

A few months back she was on Diane Rehm's NPR program and, listening to those two speak with each other with intelligence and graciousness, I was reminded of how absolutely sublime sixty clock minutes could be on a radio program.

7. Klute, They Shoot Horses Don't They?, Coming Home....

These are just a few things that Ms. Fonda can be proud of - but I think she should also be proud of her patriotism over the last 40 or so years. Long live Jane!!!

8. I wonder how many people are alive today because of her activism. n/t

9. I am one of those

vets that has no forgiveness for the treason this woman showed, not to our country but to the people that had to fight that war, Until she asks forgiveness while NOT writing a book, and goes before the POWs that she vilified, she will stay on my list of the unforgiven, that list includes GWB.

11. She has done far more good than bad, IMO

She has also explained that whole incident ad nauseum but I guess you weren't listening.

[checkmate1947]

14. Don't take issue with me

it wasn't about me it is about her, she may be over it, and gone beyond it, I haven't

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. How did she harm you?

[Monkeyman]

12. As a Vietnam vet it did hurt at the time

I forgave her a long time ago in person at a anti-war movement. But it did hurt a lot of vets. She sais she was sorry and meant it good enough

13. You're a better person than most when you can forgive such

a vicious offense. I am always amazed how this gets dredged up and sent around by people with no military service, Vietnam or otherwise, but who also send me these preachy emails, emails about Jesus, yet they can't forgive JF.

16. Isn't it fascinating that

we aren't supposed to criticize Bush for his coke snorting and whiskey drinking etc. because he became a Christian and was forgiven? But with Fonda, they want to ignore the fact that she became a Christian. I understand folks who forgive both and folks who forgive neither. But I can't understand people who forgive one and not the other.

Make no mistake, I can't stand Bush, but it's because of what he does NOW, not what he did 40 years ago.
