Peter Fonda Vs. President Obama
Since his appearance in the 1960s counter-culture biker flick, Easy Rider,
Peter Fonda has progressively gone greener and greener.
The motorcycle film icon, who piloted a stretched 1951 Harley-Davidson
Panhead to New Orleans in Easy Rider, is now an active enviromentalist. In
his latest film effort, he has co-produced the film "The Big Fix, which
tells the story of the last year's BP oil rig disaster off the coast of
Louisiana.
And at the recent Cannes Film Festival in France, Fonda stirred up some
controversy when he allegedly called President Barack Obama a traitor in an
email, it was reported by The Telegraph.
The Telegraph reported that Fonda sent n an email to President Obama last
week, stating: "I sent an email to President Obama saying, 'You are a
(expletive) traitor. You're a traitor, you allowed foreign boots on our soil
telling our military - in this case the coastguard - what they can and could
not do, and telling us, the citizens of the United States, what we could or
could not do."
Peter Fonda was also reported to call the BP staff Brits who he "thought we
kicked them out a long time ago."
These are some heavy words for a man who did some much for motorcycle
culture. And it's going to be a talker...opinions are welcome.
