The Blame Jane Game

It took only a few nanoseconds for the right side of the blogosphere to get fired up.

It took, in fact, only two words: Jane Fonda.

News that the actress and activist is planning an antiwar bus tour was greeted by calmly reasoned analysis.

The Conservative Zone :

"Hanoi Jane is at it again. . . . In 1972, she committed Treason when she collaborated with the enemy and urged that US soldiers quit fighting. Today, she is calling for an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq, leaving them in the lurch and unable to withstand the terrorist forces.

"This B-I-T-C-H is a traitor twice now in my eyes. She has the right to voice her opinions, but her past actions have branded her a traitor and she deserves to be treated like one."

Simi Valley Sophist : " Hanoi Jane's Rerun As 'Jihad Jane'

"No matter how you slice and dice it, a traitor is still a traitor. Jane Fonda is back in the anti-war game, and this time it is the war in Iraq."

The Pirates Cove : " Jane, You Ignorant Slut

"So she is going to revisit her Vietnam days, and all the atrocities against American troops that she herself caused, to promote her book?"

Mark Noonan at GOP Bloggers : "I wonder if she'll have herself photographed wearing a suicide-bomb belt?

This is, however, what the left is all about - ignorant, self-absorbed people doing destructive acts to make themselves feel better about themselves."
