| Jane Fonda sitting on a seat of an anti-aircraft gun |
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.This liberal revision of history won't be believed by even the most gullible:
Actress Jane Fonda said in a statement posted on her website today that the QVC television channel cancelled an appearance they had scheduled with her today to promote her new book "Prime Time," blaming the cancellation on what she called "well funded and organized political extremist groups."Uh um. CNS also reports this: "A New York Times review of Fonda's 2005 memoir reported that Fonda apologized in the book for being photographed on the North Vietnamese antiaircraft gun." If indeed she had "never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought", what exactly was she apologizing for?
In the same statement Fonda said, "I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us."
UPDATE: Her full statement:
"Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT!" said Fonda. "I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us. I do not understand what the far right stands to gain by continuing with these myths. In this case, they denied a lot of people the chance to hear about a book that can help make life better, easier and more fulfilling. I am deeply grateful for all of the support I have been getting since this happened, including from my Vietnam Veterans friends."None of it. Um - yeah. Don't believe your lying eyes!
