I think Fonda's wartime activities became an issue when the revisionist
view of the Vietnam war began to gain ground during Reagan's
administration.

The breaking point for alot of people was the list of top 100 women of the
century which included Jane Fonda..

I can't prove it, but I think all the money Jane Fonda throws at all sorts
of Liberal/Progressive causes keeps her at the top of several "enemies
lists". I'm sure she would still be widely disliked without her activism
and fundraising, but her activism and fundraising energizes her opponents.
And, to my ear anyway, alot of political talk show talking points sound like
they come straight from pressure groups and one or the other political
parties.


And while it's true perhaps that Nixon was a non-factor
politically as you say, this is not to his credit. If anything it
emphasizes the peculiar nature of the right-wing obsession with Hanoi
Jane.

Ironically, the Nixon administration could have prosecuted Jane Fonda for
treason.
