Jane Fonda, tired activist

From Breibart:

Jane Fonda says she would like to tour the country and speak out against U.S. involvement in Iraq, but her controversial history of Vietnam War protests leaves her with "too much baggage."

"I wanted to do a tour like I did during the Vietnam War, a tour of the country," the Oscar-winning actress said Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America." "But then Cindy Sheehan filled in the gap, and she is better at this than I am. I carry too much baggage."

I have to thank Jane Fonda for knocking loose the plug in
my head that prevented actual thought back when I was a student
radical. Maybe it would be a good idea to bring her back to
tour the US, enlightening students everywhere as to what this
Iraq thing is about. See, I thought I was antiwar. I wore the
spray painted white-dove-on-blue t-shirt. I wished for a chance
to throw a tear gas canister back at the national guard. I was
on the lookout for a sturdy antiwar girlfriend to help tie my
black armband. Then came Jane.

Everyone I knew was excited about her visit to the University
of Maryland -- this was history; this was revolution. This was
going to be another afternoon of taking over Rout 1, of throwing
rocks at the book exchange. Until Jane opened her mouth.

See, there had been a change in plans, we were no longer trying
to get the troops brought home. Well we were, only in body bags. Jane
told us how the tide was turning in Vietnam and how the vietcong
were gaining strength. And it's been too many years to quote her
exactly but the gist of her message was that more bodybags would
be needed and that meant we were winning. I looked around the
mob for other faces registering shock but I didn't find any. All
around me were cheering dove sporting college boys, still trying
to angle their eyes through the armholes of Jane's sleeveless
blouse. Was I the only one who noticed that we'd gone from
war-is-not-the-answer, to dead-amerikan-soldiers-IS-the-answer?
She called in an angry voice for the deaths of our soldiers, I can't
quote her words but I remember thinking that she would have been happy
to pull the trigger herself. She spoke of stacking the bodies.

I say go for it Jane. Tour the US and distill this thing down to
it's component parts. Cheer the beheadings and car bombings. You
can help write the new antiwar mission statement. Make the choices
clear.

More: Just saw the video of her recent interview, linked from
Michelle Malkin.
Jane called the film of her on the vietcong antiaircraft battery
a "horrible lapse in judgement." No, that's a lie. At that point
Jane Fonda was all about defeating the US and killing GIs. It wasn't
a one time stupid thing. Getting on that gun was Jane Fonda. Pretending
that it was an aberration is just a lie.
