Casino67 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Chicago Sun-Times:Jane Fonda’s scheduled appearance on QVC to promote her new memoir was canceled after the cable shopping channel got calls threatening boycotts over her Vietnam War protests, the actress wrote Saturday on her blog.“The network said they got a lot of calls yesterday criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear,” Fonda wrote. “I am, to say the least, deeply disappointed that QVC caved to this kind of insane pressure by some well funded and organized political extremist groups.”QVC did not immediately respond, though its website Saturday was listing Fonda’s book, “Prime Time,” about aging and the life cycle.Fonda blamed the cancellation on the “far right.”“Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country,” she wrote. “I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us. I do not understand what the far right stands to gain by continuing with these myths. In this case, they denied a lot of people the chance to hear about a book that can help make life better, easier and more fulfilling. I am deeply grateful for all of the support I have been getting since this happened, including from my Vietnam Veterans friends.”//The end// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
