You can't unsee them but you can certainly put them in context.

I don't condemn someone over making a foolish misstep during a time of great division, particularly when the offender has repeatedly apologized for her actions and it occurred nearly 50 years ago.

And I don't condemn her, either. But I'm not a veteran. I can't imagine how they feel about her. I don't hate her, but I'm not going to praise her, either.
 

Lewkat, you have received false information about her. She never did that. Here's what Snopes has to say about this phony charge (and Snopes doesn't take sides; you can trust them.)

Did Jane Fonda Betray American POWs in North Vietnam?
The long-standing claim that Jane Fonda turned smuggled messages from U.S. POWs over to their North Vietnamese captors is false.

She most certainly did. While walking along the line of POWs and shaking hands with them, they slipped her messages to take back home and she promptly turned them all over to the North VietNamese captors who tortured these prisoners no end. A few died as a result.
 
You can believe what you like, Lewkat. But Snopes has the best reputation I've ever heard of, for unbiased, carefully researched truth-telling on social media. If they are not sure, they say, "Uncertain." When something is clearly labeled "False," you can bet it is.

Snopes is not political, and does not take sides. It is only dedicated to one thing, which is publicizing the truth about something. They have exposed thousands of hoaxes making their way around the Internet.

Yeah, well, Snopes is Snopes and Facts are Facts. End of discussion.
 
Amen to that, Pepper!

People who refuse to accept the plain, honest truth always remind me of the character in The Wizard of Oz, who says, "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."
 
I recall that photo and was dismayed at the time, and still am, but that was yesterday.

Some of the people who still have the harshest criticism of her, in the same breath, tend to overlook some of the disgraceful and traitorous acts being carried out at the highest levels in our country today. It is only sad that we don't have a consistency in what is traitorous and bad when we step up to judge people.

Traitorous acts at the highest levels in our government today? That's a pretty serious charge, Dave unless you have incontrovertible evidence of same.
