    Someone told me we should create a new topic ... or something.

    I think she's doing some anti-war tour of the U.S. later this year/next year.

    I think Fonda is clearly showing herself as an idiot to be doing this. After so many years she finally rehabilitates her career enough to actually land a major role and they she marches back out on anti-war protests. You'd think she'd be a little more cautious considering how many people she upset last time.

    I know a few vietnam vets and they hate her. She betrayed her country and should hang for it.


    She is just another one of them !@#$ rich people looking for a cause. While I was looking for an article about her, one thing said she supported the black panthers.

    She was just a dumb kid.

    Calling for her execution is a tad over the top...

    Yes thats true. She was dumb then and may still be dumb now. Hardly worth calling for her execution, one visit and a ill-judged photo-op does not a Lord Hawhaw make. Her other supposed crimes have never been confirmed. I've never understood this hatred some on this board have for her. As for encouraging anti-soldier feelings I do not know, but I deplore such sentiments as deeply unfair.At least she has stuck by her pacifist beliefs and is willing to put her career, such as it is, in jeopardy again.

    Yup. Remember, she is entitled to her own opinion. Just like the Dixie Chicks (for those who don't know who they are, they are a country music group that shot their mouth off at the wrong time and got smacked for it by fans and radio stations).

    Should she have done what she did? I don't think so, but her actions did draw attention to what was wrong with some troops in Vietnam and also helped the military clean up its act.

    Saying she should be executed for treason is silly. She is not a traitor.

    No it's not. She is a traitor, and the penalty for treason is death.

    Okaaayyyy....

    Do you want to elaborate on how she deserves death? She was definitely insensitive to the troops, government policy and common sense, but I think death's a bit excessive...

    Those of you who are saying she helped torture POWs are the victims of an urban legend:

    Holy hell! I was just about to post on how I thought most of you guys were joking around with the execution stuff, but damn!

    Even I joke around with fatalistic comments such as "turning the middle east into a sheet of glass" and so forth. But wow. You guys are evil bastards. I LOVE IT!

    Hey folks, you are really crazy! She is an actor, not more not less. With her trip to Nam she showed that she is stupid, that is all.

    She travelled to North Vietnam and fraternized with the enemy soldiers.

    I really wonder if you think before you say someone should be killed
