As a veteran of WWII and Korea, and being at the landings of both Iwo Jima and Okinawa,(Navy) I believe I am qualified to add my two cents. She was, and still is, a traitor to this country. ANYBODY who would do the dispicable acts she did in Vietnam, does not deserve ANY KIND of “honors.” In my opinion, she should have been tried as a traitor when she returned, and we learned the extent she went to to make life even more miserable for those POWs; rather than trying and help them. I even heard some of the POWs slipped her notes, only to have her turn them over to the Vietnamese Commander, causing them to be severly beating even more. Whether THIS part is true or not I have no way of knowing. But what she said “on camera” about our guys deserved imprisonment since they committed horrible acts against the Vietnamese people,” THAT alone is enough for me. She is a Traitor to the USA and damn sure does NOT deserve any honors of ANY kind. She needs jail time. Rest assured if The Californa Governor allows this, He will have shot himself in the foot. There are one hell of a lot of Veterans like myself - living in California, and THEY have not forgotten either. AND — they are old cronies like me — and — THEY VOTE.

Jane Fonda is a traitor…Her visit to the soldiers ended with several men being beat to death….She comes back and say they are being treated “fine”…Jane should move out of this country not be honored…or Americans should
demand her be charged with treason!

Jane Fonda does qualify for this honor. People who know nothing about her, or only listen to what the media tells them have absolutely no idea what Ms. Fonda stands for. Listen to her side of the story for once and you will look smarter. Read her book and you will find out the truth! Jane Fonda is an icon to many and she has earned it.

Thanks for taking the time to offer such a thorough commentary on this matter. Points well taken and well-made. The idealist in me wishes the governor will read this and say, “Oh, yeah, I’d better rethink this whole idea.”

Fat chance.

Technically speaking the woman does not even qualify for this honor!
Read the description of the honor quoted directly from the California Museum’s Hall of Fame’s web site (www.californiamuseum.org/Exhibits/Hall-of-Fame/about.html)

“Criteria for selection requires that inductees have transcended the boundaries of their own field to make lasting contributions to the state, nation and world and that their extraordinary vision motivates and inspires people to further their own dreams.”

Okay. “. . .transcended the boundaries of her own field” must mean something outside of acting. What would that be exactly? Being Henry Fonda’s daughter? Or temporarily married to Ted Turner? Or being a TRAITOR and enemy collaborator?

…made “lasting contributions to the state, nation and world and that their extraordinary vision motivates and inspires people to further their own dreams.” Lasting contributions? To the history of US treason yes.

How did she “Inspire people to further their own dreams?” Anyone dreaming of becoming a traitor might well be inspired. After all, in America, or at least in California, they can get a medal for it.

Another quote from the Hall of Fame’s web site:
“. . . the California Hall of Fame was established in 2006 to honor legendary people who embody California’s innovative spirit and have made their mark on history.”

Okay then. “Innovative spirit?” Let’s give the WWII Japanese propandist Tokyo Rose a medal!Oops she didn’t live in California. Otherwise she’d qualify just fine.
Okay, more recently how about 28-year-old Californian Adam Gadahn, who joined Al Qaeda and appeared in propaganda videos for the terrorist organization? He’d qualify perfectly! Same as Fonda!
“made their mark on history?” What do they mean? A mark like Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames made? Or going way back to Benedict Arnold? That’s the group Jane Fonda joined.

Jane Fonda does not qualify for this honor. Give her all the awards you want for acting but she doesn’t deserve one that’s got anything to do with “honor” itself let alone patriotism.
