Whether the honorarium is really true or not...it doesn't hurt to remind people of the blatant and traitorous acts of this infamous woman. I thought traitors were summarily shot? not honored, nor left unpunished!!!
A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA This is for all the kids born in the 70's who do not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear.
Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century."
Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam.
I am in no way a 'Jane' lover...... but www.snopes.com says:
Claim: Jane Fonda betrayed U.S. soldiers during the Viet Nam War.
Status: Multiple â see below.
* During a 1972 trip to North Vietnam, Jane Fonda propagandized on behalf of the North Vietnamese government, declared that American POWs were being treated humanely and condemned U.S. soldiers as "war criminals" and later denounced them as liars for claiming they had been tortured: True.
* Jane Fonda handed over to their captors the slips of paper POWs pressed upon her: False.
* In 1999, Jane Fonda was profiled in ABC's A Celebration: 100 Years of Great Women: True.

Sorry, I did not check it out myself. I normally don't pass these types of things on but I got this from an uncle that doesn't pass this stuff on either.
I was born in 1960 and remember some of the stuff Jane did. Like most people of their generation, my father and uncles are veterans. I absorbed very strong feelings about Jane's behavior in general and her in particular. Even if the list of behaviors is only partly true, I think that should disqualify her for any term that involves great and holds her up to be emulated by the rest of any group! I am outraged that any group that claims to love their country would have anything to do with her.
Back to DSP and finals....
