I am asking everyone to consider boycotting "Monster in Law", the new movie starting Hanoi Jane (Jane Fonda). As far as I'm concered she should have been charged with treason. Everyone is entitles to their own opinion, so here's mine. To copy a cliché, I'll forgive Jane when the Jews forgive Hitler
Decide for yourselves. Thanks for reading

To add insult to injury, when American POWs finally began to return home (some of them having been held captive for up to nine years) and describe the tortures they had endured at the hands of the North Vietnamese, Jane Fonda quickly told the country that they should "not hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars." Fonda said the idea that the POWs she had met in Vietnam had been tortured was "laughable," claiming: "These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed." The POWs who said they had been tortured were "exaggerating, probably for their own self-interest," she asserted. She told audiences that "Never in the history of the United States have POWs come home looking like football players. These football players are no more heroes than Custer was. They're military careerists and professional killers" who are "trying to make themselves look self-righteous, but they are war criminals according to law."
When the POWs returned in early 1973 and detailed the torture and mistreatment, she accused them of lying. Senator John McCain had both his arms broken. She calls McCain a liar! (AFJ,May'88--Personalities
She didn't merely protest the Vietnam War as Oprah Winfrey wrote. Jane Fonda took the side of the North Vietnamese. In that recently published interview Jane Fonda states, "I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an antiaircraft [gun] carrier, which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes. That had nothing to do with the context that photograph was taken in. But it hurt so many soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless. I wasn't thinking. I was just so bowled over by the whole experience that I didn't realize what it would look like."
Jane Fonda is sorry about the photo but she is not apologizing for her actions that led to the photo since "the context" of which she speaks is by far worse than the photograph. That photo was taken when she went to North Vietnam in July of 1972 where she not only posed for a photo, but also recorded propaganda broadcasts for the North Vietnamese.
