Because there is an email that makes the rounds every few months about what a reprehensible so-and-so Obama is because he has the gall to want to honor Jane Fonda as one of the "100 Women of the Century." And like so many of these chain emails polluting our inboxes from RWNJs, this one is a doozie.

Nobody blames her INSTEAD of those who started the stupid war. They criticize her IN ADDITION TO those who started the war.
I've seen far more people supporting our alleged purpose in Vietnam while bashing Jane than bashing both.
She was a stupid adult with no official standing saying stupid things, those who got us involved were officials who betrayed the public trust, I don't think their degree of 'wrong' is comparable.
How about the "open letter to Obama" supposedly written by Buddy Hackett's wife. First off, nothing against Buddy Hackett, but why should anyone care about his wife's political opinion? The whopper though was that she supposedly wrote the letter in 2009 - in fact she had passed away in 2007.
I got a couple of those emails that even had a picture of a smiling blonde who looked nothing like Sherry Hackett.
Then there's the baloney about Obama voting for a palatial prison in Cook County IL. The prison exists, it is however not in Illinois, and not in the US. It is in Austria.
Bottom line, it is election year so watch your inbox for the tripe that the RWNJs mindlessly forward. You can always do what I do and find info refuting this garbage and hit "reply all."

You're correct, my mistake, let me rephrase. She's was a stupid adult with no official standing saying stupid things as opposed to the officials who betrayed the public trust..
One would think the OP would have a clue as to how people felt about her if he/she/it had read the 164 posts in the hanoi jane thread which was started in P&OC on 1.31.2012.

I would say that you have no idea what the Truman Doctrine and the Eisenhower Doctrine were about. Maybe if you did you would have more of an idea about why we got into that war.
Of course, you do know that the people who sent more men in both times belonged to the Democrat Party, I guess.
The number one answer is: I have no view of Jane Fonda whatsoever. She never enters my mind.
I do remember her first lesbian scene:
