Seriously guys........while I in no way support her decision to go, lets at least get the facts straight. snopes.com: Jane Fonda and American POWs in North Vietnam
yes seriously. on FB there is a whole group that is boycotting the Butler. I for one don't accept her apology a bit late regardless. I don't always put faith in snopes!
Fine, let them boycott. But please don't continue to spread the lies about what people think happened. Check out the facts from whatever true source you want.
I have, maybe some of it is not true but how do you know that snores has its facts straight? I also have personnel friends that were there.
February 16, 2013 Update:**This rumor has once again gone viral with the news of a film where actress Jane Fonda will be portraying the role of Nancy Reagan.*** The film is called**The Butler*and is about a man who served as a butler under 8 U.S. Presidents in the White House.* At this time it is still in the post production stage and no release date has been issued. October 7, 2010 Update:*A version of this eRumor have begun circulating in 2010 saying that President Obama is honoring Jane Fonda.* This version has been circulating since 2009 and is pretty much a carbon copy of the original Barbara Walters eRumor.* This story hearkens to a real visit to North Vietnam by Jane Fonda in July of 1972, but the stories about betraying POWs is not true.The Fonda trip became unforgettable because it infuriated Americans, especially Americans in uniform, many of whom still regard her as a traitor.* *She praised the North Vietnamese, posed for a photo at a Communist anti-aircraft gun emplacement, made several radio broadcasts for the Communist North Vietnamese in which she called American military leaders "war criminals," then when some of the POWs returned home and described mistreatment by the North Vietnamese, she said Americans should "...not hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars. "**There is no dispute that her visit took place and that her words and actions were in support of the enemy .* This particular email includes three stories, two of which have been denied by the POWs who are named, and one of which has been confirmed as true by the source, although he was not named in the email.
JF was a traitor in my mind and heck of a lot of other people's minds too, I do not trust Snopes at all, so I will not support her in playing of all people, Nancy Reagan.. That said, I also won't go see the Butler because of Oprah's racial statements recently... My feelings, my choice which everyone has a right to. If you go, enjoy.
