Tinseltown’s anti-war activists are emboldened thanks to the election results and recent polls.   

Celebrity rabble-rousers are coming out to announce to the nation that they were right all along about the war in Iraq. They’ve even enlisted someone who has a knack for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Standing at a recent rally in Washington, D.C, positioned near a memorial for the United States Navy and appearing alongside Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, was none other than Jane Fonda. 

Fonda declared, “I haven’t spoken at an anti-war rally in 34 years because of lies about me that were used to hurt the anti-war movement.”

She added that “silence is no longer an option” and thanked the crowd for standing up to a “mean-spirited, vengeful administration.” 

During the Vietnam War, Fonda earned the moniker Hanoi Jane. She publicly proclaimed that American POWs were being treated just fine when they were actually being brutally beaten and tortured.

Many soldiers, sailors and marines have contempt for Fonda and are steadfast in holding her accountable for her past and present rhetoric and behavior.  

Pizza aficionado and reporter dude Sean Penn sees things differently. “She’s a high-profile, outspoken American,” Penn explained. “She’s one more voting American with a conscience who is against this war.”

Nancy Pelosi dreamer Rep. Maxine Waters warned, “Those people who would try to undermine her [Fonda’s] credibility will fail. We welcome her back to the peace community.”
