It may have taken place over 40 years ago, but to
many of us it seems like only yesterday, an act seen by many as being nothing
less than an act of treason. And while I
didn’t spend any time in Vietnam myself, I had friends who did, some of whom
never came home. And now for this
pathetic bitch to actually think that simply saying I’m sorry, even after all
these years, will somehow change the opinion that so many still have of her,
borders on being delusional.
But be that as it may, it was late on just this past
Friday that ‘Hanoi Jane’ Fonda chose to issue what’s been referred to by many
as an apology for her rather infamous visit to North Vietnam back in 1972. That specific moment in time that earned for
her the rather dubious moniker, “Hanoi Jane”, something that has stuck with her
ever since. Fonda was said to have called
it a “huge mistake” during a speech given at an arts center in Frederick,
Maryland.
She made her comments in response to those who were there
to protest against her appearance. She
said, “But those people out there… I’m a lightning rod,” Fonda told the
audience. She said, “This famous person
goes and does something that looks like I’m against the troops, which wasn’t
true, but it looked that way, and I’m a convenient target. So I understand.” I guess I don’t quite understand how it is
that she could actually make the claim that she’s not against our troops.
While Fonda may have issued what has been termed an
apology for her traitorous behavior, it was at the same time that she also said
that she still considers her trip to the communist state at war with the U.S. a
“great experience.” Those of us old
enough to remember, it was while on that trip that she took publicity shots
manning an anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down American planes and publicly
criticized the war effort against North Vietnam.
The protesters gathered outside the arts center,
many of whom were Vietnam veterans, did not forget Fonda’s anti-war effort and
carried signs that bore the phrase, “Forgive? Maybe. Forget? Never.” One of
those protesters, Mr. Bob Hartman, a Vietnam Army veteran, said, “She
encouraged North Vietnam to pull away from the negotiations table.” He added, “She got Americans killed… and she
went to Vietnam to advance her husband’s career.”
Fonda focused most of her speech the topic of which
was said to be gender politics, she encouraged those in attendance to not raise
boys to become “emotionally illiterate” by emphasizing masculinity. Talk about someone being “emotionally
illiterate”, this bitch is “emotionally bankrupt!” Because it’s according to people like ‘Hanoi
Jane’ that it’s by no means that we should actually allow boys to grow up being
boys, we must instead raise a population of wussies.
This is the twisted way that people like ‘Hanoi
Jane’ think. Because, or so their theory
apparently goes, if we would only choose to raise our boys more like the way we
raise our girls, or at least in such a way that results in boys being more in
touch with their feminine side, then, it would seem to follow, that we’ll more
likely have fewer men who would be willing to take our country into war. In other words we’d have more men like John
Kerry-Heinz or Barry Obummer. Sound like
a plan?
