I simply cannot believe this! Talk about your attention whores! Does she really think that this is going to add once ounce of credibility to the anti-war movement? Jane Fonda to lead anti-war drive Indo-Asian News Stories Los Angeles, July 26, 2005 Source:http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1443099,00110003.htm Jane Fonda, the celebrated Hollywood actress who led demonstrations against the Vietnam war, is returning to her anti-war activities by calling the US to end military operations in Iraq. Fonda announced over the weekend that she would be leading a cross-country drive in a bio-diesel bus to call for an end to US military operations in Iraq. She said the campaign would include her family and the families of Iraq war veterans and casualties. Fonda said she decided to resume her anti-war activities at the urging of war veterans. "I've decided I'm coming out," she said. "I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam," she said. "I carry a lot of baggage from that." Fonda incited controversy in July 1972 when she was photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun while on a tour of the country to drum up support to end the war. She has since apologised for her actions. |

Is she? I don't remember her protesting when Clinton was bombing the heck out of Bosnia or storming Haiti. |

I don't believe consistency means that one has to voice their opinion every time there is an opportunity to do so. Had she come out during the Clinton years and said that it was fine to bomb, then that would be inconsistent. |

Fes, sometimes our silence speaks volumes, especially when we are silent when our guy does what we protest in the fellow who is not on our team. |

Well, now we'll know she's coming. She'll be in the bus that smells like popcorn. |

I heard this on the news, and thought WTH? Get her to spend a month lokking after an Iraqi family with no financial support and then see how she feels about an early American withdrawal. On the news they mentioned that as she is a Greenie, she insisted on a bus that is powered by vegetable oil, I laughed out loud |

Don't make me use my bare hands on you.

Has she publically apologized for Barberella yet? During Bosnia she was busy publicly insulting Southern Evangelicals and didn't have time to protest some war in Europe. |

Didn't she become a born-again Christian for awhile? |

First of all, Jane Fonda has absolutely NO reason to apologize for Barbarella. Her nekkid hotness in that film is monumentally fantastic, and should be preserved for posterity. Second, I find nothing surprising in Jane Fonda's announcement of her upcoming Commie-palooza Bus Tour. She's an old woman, divorced, completely out of the spotlight. Being the attention whore that she's always been, she found a way to get back in the spotlight. Make a movie with Jennifer Lopez, and fire up the bio-diesel Hillary-for-President-bus. And yeah, psyfi, she does claim to be a born again christian. |

I can't believe how delightful this is, if true. Maybe she can get Sean Penn to join her on the bunny bus. Or go to Iraq and embrace Saddam and Bin Laden wearing nothing but an ammo belt and an AK-47. I'm so glad that Jane doesn't have a brain. |

I am always disappointed when someone equates being against the Iraq invasion as being a supporter of Hussein. It's obviously wholly untrue and illustrates a total lack of understanding. |

It's just a rhetorical tactic used to avoid the subject. It demostrates the weakness of that person's argument. |

If one supports a position that would have kept Saddam in power and continues to bicker and deride all positions but this one long after his tyrannical butt is ousted from power, they might as well have been a supporter of his. The consequences of the positions we support cannot really be all that separated from the positions themselves. |
