Revisioning Jane Fonda

Revisioning Jane Fonda

. . . Less well-known and even more damning are Fonda’s seditious radio broadcasts on behalf of the Communist North Vietnamese “in which she called American military leaders ‘war criminals” and, following the return home of some POWs who described mistreatment by the North Vietnamese, saying that Americans should ’not hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars:’ “ http://tiny.cc/217ka

Fonda’s half-hearted, non-apologetic apologies for some–far from all–of her actions and statements during that time have failed to cut it for most Americans who still regard her as a traitor.

Therefore, as the former Barbarella enters her dotage, a little revisionism was in order lest her memory be forever tainted, lest she be historically regarded as worse than Tokyo Rose, which she was.

TruthorFiction.com,which provided the above quotations, addressed what it calls, “an erumor” currently being circulated which purports that President Obama is considering honoring Fonda and which cites statements by various POW’s attesting to their maltreatment by their captors. Obama’s plan to confer honors on Fonda as one of the “100 Women of the Century” has not been verified but, given that he’s Obama, is entirely within the realm of possibility.

However,TruthorFiction.com, which printed 3 versions of the “erumor,” two from 2005 and the 2010 version, contends, “This story [of the POWs] hearkens to a real visit to North Vietnam by Jane Fonda in July of 1972, but the stories about betraying POWs is [sic] not true. . . This particular email includes three stories, two of which have been denied by the POWs who are named, and one of which has been confirmed as true by the source, although he was not named in the email. . ."
