Jane Fonda to be a guest on Zahn tonight

[eleny]

I can't stand watching Zahn. But I don't think I want to miss this interview.

[Bandit]

1. Jane Fonda has changed

She was an idealistic little girl in the sixties and did things she deeply regrets. I hold nothing against her. She fought for a cause she believed in.

[Jacobin]

2. This is the beginning of a concerted SMEAR of Kerry

by the mediawhores.

Just watch.

You'll see

WOODRUFF: In a sure sign that the opposition research units are up and running in this presidential race, a photo featuring both John Kerry and Jane Fonda has recently surfaced. The snapshot saws Fonda at an anti-Vietnam War rally back in 1970. Kerry can be seen sitting several rows behind the actress.

Fonda told CNN earlier today when she stopped by for an interview that she had little contact with Kerry at that event.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JANE FONDA, ACTRESS/ACTIVIST: The American people have had it with the big lie. Any attempts to Kerry to me and make him look bad with that connection is completely false. We were at a rally for veterans at the same time. I spoke, Donald Sutherland spoke, John Kerry spoke at the end. I don't even think we shook hands.

And they're also saying this organization, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, was a communist organization. This was an organization of men who risked their lives in Vietnam, who consider themselves totally patriotic. And anyone who slams that organization, and slams Kerry for being part of it, is doing an injustice to veterans.

How can you impugn, how can you even suggest that a Vietnam veteran like Kerry or any of them were -- are not patriotic? He was a hero there.

And this is the kind of big lie that's coming out of this current administration that I think the American people are sick of. And I don't think it's going to work.

3. Fonda was converted to christianity by her chauffeur

lots of talk about this on televangelist shows

she may have been told that as a christian she must disavow all her 'anti-american' past

Ted, in an interview with Vanity Fair (?) about his loss of CNN, said she just converted without talking to him about it at all and that it led to the break-up of their marriage

there was a bit of implication that she was very worried about a relative and people worked on this concern to make her believe she needed to 'be born again'
