Should Jane Fonda be honored as one of the "100 Greatest Women of the 20th Century"?

2015-10-21T19:26:35-04:00

A friend forwarded an email which indicated there were plans to honor Jane Fonda as as one of the "100 Women of the 20th Century."
[Update After some fact checking it seems that this email originated in 2010 or 2011 and was debunked]
I certainly hope that Jane Fonda will never be honored as one of the great women of the 20th century. If she is I hope it is at least a couple months after Veterans Day, not near Memorial Day or July 4 for that matter.
What are your thoughts on this?

Blame Jane Falsehoods

For those of you too young to remember Hanoi Jane is a bad person and did some terrible things during the Vietnam war. Things that can not be forgiven!!!!

Personally I think Jane Fonda should never be honored for what she did in 1972 as she "visited" Hanoi and did nothing to help the POWS while she posed for pictures with NVA soldiers.

The visit by a key figure of the counterculture was entirely legal at the time. It has since been made illegal. I'm only trying to point out there was a loophole just like with LSD.

She was certainly an impactful woman of the 20th century. "Great" is in the eye of the beholder.
For my Vietnam Vet friends, I saw this in my local VFW. Kills me every time.

LTC Stephen F. She absolutely is one of the 100 greatest women of the 20th century.

One of the 100 greatest TRAITORS of the 20th century. Men or Women.

Using Iva Ikuko Toguri D'Aquino (Tokyo Rose) as a baseline, Hanoi Jane is still on my Sierra List primarily because she voluntarily aided the enemy vs. Iva not renouncing her citizenship and acquiescing under great pressure. Jane went, came back, and la de dah'ed it for years. To this day, I believe Jane thinks it wasn't a big deal. A few years in prison would have likely made her a better person for it. But that presumes a full vetting in court would give that result. Given the time and circumstance, Jane was stupidly naive at best and a criminal at worst but likely somewhere in between.

Sure why not? She can chill with Snowden, Maning, Arnold, the Walkers and more as a proud member of 100 of America's greatest traitors. I'm all for that.

Only if she is given proper credit for her work in "Barberella" and the picture of her sitting on the North Viet Nam 12.7 anti-aircraft weapon during our war with the country that resulted in the deaths of over 58000 of our military.

Whaaaaaat? What has Jane Fonda done that even remotely resembles great? She's a traitor who should have been tried for treason.

Absolutely, IF the logic is due to her performance in Barberella, the movie. She was great. If her actions, in VN as a traitorous whore, no.

when that bitch came home she should have been tried for treason and the murder of several of our brave prisoners of war after her conviction she should then be given a sentence of death by firing squad and i as well as all our troops who served would volunteer to put a bullet right between the bitches eyes and i would not miss.
