RonD1120 62 #26 April 7, 2012 I am pretty much offended by anything Ms. Fonda does. And, yes, I still have my Jane Fonda Urinal Target.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loch1957 0 #27 April 7, 2012 If anyone is interested her broadcasts are a matter of congressional records. Feel free to read them, I enclosed the link. I'm not sure she can be called anti American but she was defiantly anti Nixon in every respect. She was wrong on a few of her ideas, mainly POWS. Any way make up your own mind. http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=FondaHanoiAvoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

loch1957 0 #29 April 8, 2012 LOL I wasn't saying her dislike of him was bad in any way. If you read the transcripts Nixon was really the only thing she bashed repeatedly. She really never bashed America as a whole, just the leadership. She did admit that some things she said and did were inappropriate, but thats still a far cry from from hating America.Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

Squeak 17 #30 April 8, 2012 QuoteQuoteNo. I'd find it offensive if Fonda couldn't act, but since she has the awards to back her up in that department and looks reasonably close to Nancy Reagan it's just good casting. Want to be offended by casting? Watch "The Green Lantern." Lest anyone think Nancy Reagan was herself some ultra conservative war monger. . . you might want to check your history. Pretty stupid decision by the casting director. I'm sure there are a lot of Republicans, Conservatives and former military, regardless of party affiliation, who will not pay to see the movie because they detest Fonda for her support of the NVA. It really has nothing to do with her acting ability. Jane Fonda has suffered her entire life due to her controversial stand against the U.S.I'll bet it does not out weigh all the free publicity. It's marketing smarts.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's marketing smarts. I doubt Fonda will play a significant role in the marketing of this movie especially if Liam Neeson, Hugh Jackman, John Cusack and Oprah Winfrey get casted as rumored. Let's face it...nobody really cares about Jane Fonda or the white house butler except for those that are offended by Fonda. Jane really hasn't done much lately...instead of selling movie producers on the concept of negative publicity, perhaps it would be better if Kevin Huvane sets Jane up in a workout video for elderly women.

SkyPiggie 0 #32 April 8, 2012 Quoteshe wasn't against the US. She was against the war and its leaders. Her stance was roughly analogous to millions of other US citizens at the time as well as millions of other Americans today over the war in Iran. A person can be against war and the reasons for going to war and still be for their country. Pretty much everyone was against that war. That wasn't the problem. The problem was that instead of protesting in front of the White House like everyone else, she actually went to North Vietnam and manned an anti-aircraft gun that shoots down American planes. She didn't just protest to try and stop it through normal American means, she joined with the enemy. THAT is why vets hate Jane Fonda. http://www.google.com/search?q=jane%20fonda%20anti%20aircraft%20gun&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi She's free to express her views her way. And she's also free to suffer the consequences of public opinion from that. You don't get to be a traitor to your country, and then have a right to complain when people hate you for it.

Coreece 190 #36 April 8, 2012 between our two posts, I wouldn't be surprised if wlsc doesn't condemn/judge us as being sexist misogynistic ageists...I'm trying to think of a good name for Fonda's next workout video...having a little trouble.

skypuppy 1 #40 April 8, 2012 QuoteI'll agree it's a matter of degrees and point of view. So, does it make it that it's offensive Fonda is cast in a walk-on part as Nancy Reagan? Meh. Somebody said it was a mistake of the casting director. Really? Look at all the free press it has generated. short answer, yes.If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead. Bruce McConkey 'I thought we were gonna die, and I couldn't think of anyone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I disagree that she was a traitor (just as I disagree that Tokyo Rose was a traitor), the rest of it is just plain logical.
