Forgiving Jane Fonda (Already!)

Fifty years ago, actress Jane Fonda, then 36-years-old and famous, was against the war in Vietnam War, like most of her generation and in fact, half if not all of America. While visiting the country she was photographed leaning against a piece of equipment belonging to the North Vietnamese, a.k.a. the Enemy. It was a set-up shot meant to be provocative, and Jane hardly realized where she was sitting.  

From that moment on her haters-- she was thin, rich, beautiful and talented, what's not to hate? -- dubbed her "Hanoi Jane" and to this day, FIFTY YEARS LATER, still call her that and still hate her for it.

These are the same people who forgave Bill Clinton for raping one and abusing countless other women, calling it "his own business." The same people who voted for the lying plagiarist Joe Biden for President. The same people who endorse Kamala Harris, an empty-headed puppet, as the potential leader of the free world. The same pro-Palestinian protesters who condemn Israel for defending itself and embrace the cruel terrorists responsible for the October 7 terrorist massacre. In their minds, they are all good while Jane Fonda is bad.

What they all have in common is the inability to think for themselves. It's a wonder they manage to dress themselves each morning. Oh right, they just put on those expensive, ripped-in-the-knee jeans and trendy sneakers, shine up their tattoos and meet their pathetic, non-thinking peers at Starbuck's for a double-decaf mocha latte or chai tea or whatever else is deemed "in" at the moment. (Bubble tea, anyone?)

Fonda is a wonderful actress who is still going strong at her advanced age. Besides continuing to entertain us in movies and on TV, she has dedicated her life to helping the disadvantaged both at home and abroad. Those losers who still focus on her fleeting mistake in Vietnam, for which she has apologized profusely dozens of times in print, on TV and in person, are simply morons the world would do better without.
