Jane Fonda’s New Socialist Stunts – IOTW Report

Jane Fonda’s New Socialist Stunts

CNS: One of the strangest things about liberals is how they think getting arrested is some kind of achievement. Take Jane Fonda, who, at the tender age of 81, is still ranting about capitalist America ruining the world. Only this time, the issue is “climate change” instead of the Cold War.

“Hanoi Jane” infamously sat behind a communist antiaircraft gun in Vietnam in 1972, and today, one could imagine her aiming her big gun at commercial aircraft ruining the planet with their notorious carbon emissions.

Naturally, liberal journalists are delighted. On Oct. 25, the Hollywood Reporter gushed over her third arrest on Capitol Hill. This time, actor Ted Danson was arrested alongside her.

The Reporter included a pile of happy play-by-play tweets (including video tweets) by Hannah Jewell of The Washington Post. She seemed to be on a first-name basis with the socialist actress.

— “Jane just asked a group of very buttoned up college kids on a capitol visit if they wanted to join her,” she tweeted. “Ted Danson added that getting arrested ‘sharpens the mind.'” (Insert laugh track here.)

— “‘When I turned 70 I thought ok, time to rest on my laurels’ says Ted … ‘and then I met Jane Fonda’. He calls her his mentor. ‘Here I am about to get arrested.'”

— “Ted Danson just shared a little handcuffed high five (high ten?) with Jane Fonda.”

— “Jane gets patted down and shouts ‘Ted, are ya having fun yet?!'”

This is nothing but an exercise in political vanity. Getting arrested sounds all naughty and risky — but there are no risks. The Capitol Police does not allow demonstrations on the Capitol grounds without a permit, so these leftists come unauthorized and play Martin Luther King for a day — unauthorized but not unannounced.

Press attention (and adulation) is everything, so they make sure everyone knows they’re coming. Protesters are put in single-use plastic handcuffs and usually taken to the Capitol Police garage. Fonda isn’t sitting in jail over the weekend. No one’s fining her $1,000 for the trouble. read more

  1. Fonda isn’t sitting in jail over the weekend. No one’s fining her $1,000 for the trouble.

    And therein lies a big part of the problem.

    Hold these posturing slebs in the slammer for 24-48 hrs after taking their belts, shoe laces, jewelry, and selfie-phones, and being arrested may cease to be so appealing to them.

  2. The stench of communism is strong on this one.Too bad her and her scumbag brother weren’t in a murder suicide.Old Henry was a commie too so it seems to be generic.

  3. That POS should be at temhe end of a rope. Had Reagan or Trump been president when she sat at a commie gun pointed at our troops – instead of the usual GOP shit infesting the party – fonda would be a goner.

  4. Commodore Ford said over 50 years ago the Fonda Clan have been America hating Commies for over 85 years. Ford was right! when they are all dead it will bee good for Americans!

  5. Have to put it into context – surviving arrest in a socialist state IS an achievement! The psychological aberration that makes $Millionaires pretend that socialism for the masses (not for themselves, of course) is a good thing is the same mental deficiency that makes them believe that their preening poseur-ing is important. The fact of their abject worthlessness is denied them – probably to protect their “sanity” – or, since they have little of that, their mental stability. Their delusional world-view is precarious, at best.

  6. I have to admit that when I was in early 20s, I watched Cat Ballou and thought she was cute.
    Also, I enjoyed opening scenes in Barbaella as she did the weightless space capsule strip from the spacesuit.
    As I said, I was in my 20s.
    That was before she became Hanoi Jane, so I hope I’m forgiven.

  7. Tsquared, just arrest her on Friday and hold her until Monday morning, like an out-of-state driver in rural Mississippi.

    After that, she’ll never do anything to get arrested again.
