Let’s put this in perspective:

A. Consider the source (Jane Fonda, aka Hanoi Jane).

That about does it……………….

No way I’m setting my f-ing clock for 3:00 a.m.!!! (Oops) I will tivo it though! Are you just staying up all night?

Seriously, I’m not a big Jane Fonda fan. She has a penchant for obnoxious things coming out of her mouth.

Can you give a silent shout-out to your bloggers on the Red Eye by pulling on your ear?

That would be f-ing great!

P.S.

The only way you are getting me up at 3AM is if you are laying next to me, LOL

Happy day after I hope your night was a mushy one!

Do you think she did it to help Meridith’s(sp) ratings? I wonder who Jane is voting for LOL

On a personal note I am coming up with all kinds of crazy ideas of what it is we were looking into so will you ask the Magic 8 Ball If I will find out soon?

Hanio Jane is just like those at Berkley they should all be left to fend for themselves. She should had stayed at Hanio and not allow her back into this GREAT COUNTRY of ours. She is the results of liberal school programs. What did the TODAY show expect from her. Then they act suprised.

Fantastic, Alisyn!

Yeah I love AJ and Surprises! Toba love you too. Still I hate the desk! What I have seen Alisyn is cussing is not unaccepted as it used to be. So kids think it is not bad because they hear it constantly from their peers, look at the music they listen to. It is everywhere.

My son’s school did a lockdown drill yesterday, this college shooting rampage is really getting to me.

MS.CAMEROTA;
AS A VIETNAM VETERAN ALL I CAN SAY IS “WHO IS JANE FONDA” I HEARD OF SOME FEMALE
TRAITOR YEARS AGO NAMED “HANOI JANE” I THINK SHE WAS DALLYING WITH THE ENEMY BUT
WAS NEVER TRIED.SHE ALSO MARRIED SOME IDIOT NAMED “TOM HAYDEN”.MIGHT THIS BE THE
SWINE YOUR REFERING TO.
LOVE YOUR GREEN EYES;
KEN

Your intern attends a typical college where only one point of view is encouraged, indeed, tolerated. Fonda’s comment is just further evidence of the destruction of our culture of civility. Everything is accepted today, nothing should shock us about this. Just listen to what is heralded as “keeping it real” rap lyrics, look how we award drug addicts with Grammy awards, witness the glorification of celebreties having babies out of wedlock by plastering their faces on the cover of magazines with accompanying detail of how “wonderful” it all is. Dropping a vulgarity on natonal TV is mild by comparison.

I saw you on Red Eye the last time you were on and I thought you were f-cking awesome! I’ll be up watching you.

I know that certain words come and go through the years as cuss words, but there are a select few that are eternally offensive. The f-bomb is bad but something about the c-bomb makes my ears ring.

When HANOI Jane used the “C” word was she referring to HillaryClinton?

Hi Alyson,
I don’t watch “The View” anymore as it seems as though everyone always overshadow the Republicans but that’s neither here nor there. The View should have warned Hanoia Jane withch
traitor Fonda to clean up her language before going on the air. Now we see why Ted divorced her.
He was shocked and appauled by her vulgarity. I hate to hear the word she used c word as I
heard someone say but she is just nasty. Who really wants to hear what she has to say. The View
must really be hurting in ratings again to get this type of recognition for her bad actions.

One more thing. I hope that the News Industry will stop and look at what there part is in the broadcasting such a horrible event that has been happening to our schools and colleges and university’s. Well broadcasting is fine but please don’t give any kind of recognition to the gunmen
or to even give THEIR NAME OR NAMES. I believe that this gives them some kind of sick power even if they kill themselves as most of the cowards do. The next person will think well if I can’t be a famous person alive then I will be infamous when I’m dead. It is a sick world that we live in.

Thanks for listening! I need to pass this one on to Bill O’Reilley and see what he thinks about my opinions.

Frustrated for all the people out there that has lost a loved one to a senseless killing.

Civility should never be sacrificed for ratings. Many people have children with them in the room when they watch Morning shows and using words like that can have consequences. Does anyone want their five or six year old child using that word with their teacher or blurting it out loud in a public setting. To many of us today are willing to accept behaviors we know are wrong or allow others to teach our children to use language or accept behaviors we all know are crude, rude and bad for us culturally. You can be funny on television without using certain words or acting like you were raised in a bar. Alisyn does it every day, so do Steve and Gretchen, you can be cutting edge without being foul mouthed, crude and lewd.

Yes it seems that society as a whole is becoming more desensitized to the use of profanity over a period coincident with the increasing violence on prime time TV and reduced discipline in our homes and God being taken out of our schools and public buildings. Question is, how do we handle it?

About that satelit hitting us on the head, I always say The day my ship comes in - I will be at the airport!
I love the cartoony way you put it, reminded me of one of my other sayings, they tell me “it only gives you character” well I now have so much character that I’m animated

Have an awesome weekend I know I will,
till Monday guys lmao

Maybe this is why I only watch FOX news. NBC and all the others are so far behind that they need stupid things to bring up ratings. About Hanoi Jane. With the Iraq war, she is also known as Hussein Jane for her support for the hung dictator ruler. She is scum and all she does is spew her vile hatred whereever she goes. Her father, GOD rest his soul, and a good man, would turn over in his grave. From the looks of her face, maybe she needs to see Joan Rivers face tightener to do something about that mug. Let’s send her and the Code Pinko’s from Berkley to Afgan or whereever to do an in-depth interview with Osama and let his followers show them what they do to loud-mouthed women.

I finally watched an ASS real time. Love the net connected concept and this blog! I watch Red Eye during the week (taped) and can’t wait to watch you tonight (please please skirt and boots skirt and boots!) As far as Hanoi Fonda is concerned, she is classless and always will be. She would fit well with the View crew. Watch for Shultz or Greg to mention the C word tonight tho just because… p.s. Counted only about 140ish V-day text-o’s What’s up w/ that? They began airing during the Jon Stewart clip and ran for only a 1/2 hour. And as you may have guessed mine was a no show for my Rhobrat.

I watched Red Eye one time and their humor is not for me. They poked fun at old people and the Boy Scouts so I stopped watching. Sorry I’m going to miss you. Maybe you can straigthen them out.

Alisyn, as a Vietnam vet I must confess that every time I hear Jane Fonda’s name three words come to mind…….Commie pinko B…. Sorry, I just can’t help it.

Yep, smokin’ crack.

What’s more disturbing is pervasiveness of this sort of language. I’ve used my share of colorful language, being a Vet and all, but it’s permeated our society now. I hear 10 year olds with worse mouths than any of the guys (and gals) I used to serve with.

It all boils down to parenting I’m afraid, and too many folks aren’t willing to make that commitment. They’re perfectly happy with the sex, pregnancy and childbirth part… just not the hard work that follows. Which, by the way, is the reward to those of us that embrace parenthood.

Happy President’s day… ???

By the way….Janice Dean is f**king gorgeous

Sorry, had to……

I am so disgusted with pig Jane Fonda– and Meridith Viera for her ignoring the pig’s filty mouth. It took Viera 10 minutes to apologize, and I bet that’s only because the bosses hastily put together an apology. Say if a personality, let’s use Ann Coulter, and she was being interviewed by Viera, and they were talking about Hillary and Pelosi and the c word “slips” out in the context of the interview, do you really think the reaction would be the same? That people are making too much of this, and we have bigger things to worry about? Ann Coulter would be crucified by every group in exsistance, demanding she be hung for her degrading, insensitive use of the most vulgar, demeaning word to describe a woman, and having rap groups suing her because they have exclusive rights to the word.
As I said, Fonda is a pig, always has been!

Hey Alisyn,

Here in Georgia we’re just happy that Jane & Uncle Ted (Turner) are now divorced so that we don’t have to see her on the local news so often. She has never achieved credibility of any sort and has ceased being entertaining many years ago.

As for that Red-Eye thing, I will be setting my Tivo.

See Ya’

Alisyn ~ ‘fess up: Does Kilmeade have a sailor’s mouth when you guys aren’t on camera?

Alisyn

Cursing is very offensive to me. I enjoy certain shows on television but it offends me to hear God’s name taken in vain, so I change the channel. Why cant we just say what we mean without putting that extra spin on it, Gaggummit.

I remember the first time I heard a curse word on television: it was Maude and she said the s. o. b. word. I was a kid, and slapped my hand over my ears, I am sure my eyes bugged for days!

I wish people would understand it doesn’t make them cool to talk offensively.
Have a great day!

Jane Fonda you should be ashamed of yourself. You should have your mouth washed out with soap like my mother did when we said even a small bad word. That was real Lady like. You have no respect for yourself when you use that gas station english.

This is an excellent example of making a big deal out of nothing. While it seems that society is more comfortable with using swear words, Jane Fonda wasn’t just saying the word for no reason. It is the title of a monologue that she opted not to do, which came up while discussing her career. Regardless of how common swearing has become or what I think about Jane Fonda, people are reacting to only half of the story - a story that is not even actual news.

Dear Alisyn:

In this era of political correctness, only the politically correct can say anything about anybody at any time. Any conservative that said what Janie said would be asked to apologize. Once the apology was issued, it would be declared insincere, with a demand for a honest apology. Eventually, after the PC crowd got all of the mileage out of the issue, they would demand a resignation/firing/boycott…you name it. And they would get it! I fear that Janie is a c-word.

This is just another commentary on the Hollywood Celebrities. They want the rest of society on the same downward spiral they find themselves on…as the old saying goes, “misery loves company.” They just want to spread their filth around! It is sickening.

I don’t see the problem…..we are such prudes in this country….wake up and smell the coffee….what about Freedom of Speech anymore…everyone is so offended by everything….turn your tv off and stay in your home if you don’t like what you are hearing or seeing these days….did anyone really realize what the topic of discussion was?????? The word fit pefectly!!!

I rarely watch the Today Show(I usually watch FOX), but if I had been and Jane Fonda was announced as the next guest, the station would have been changed IMMEDIATELY. There is no excuse for some of the language that is used. I don’t care how “everyday” it is. What you say in your own home is one thing, but I don’t like being exposed to that kind of language. I used to work in the dorms at an amusement park in the summer(I’m over 50), and if one of the “kids” said something I didn’t appreciate, I’d tell them and they usually apologized. The “f” word was VERY common.

What did they think when having Hanio Jane on. Sorta gets attention to herself. Being that I am a Vet from the Vietnam area I would like to see her stand trial for Aiding and Abetting our enemy. That would bring the attention. Heres hopping that abc gets their find for the so called slip.

It seems as if society is comfortable with swearing and using profanity. The bible clearly states that what is in your heart comes out of your mouth. My wife and I teach our children not to speak words of distruction. Also, James 1-26 states “If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. It’s even hard for me to find a suitable TV program to watch with my children during the weekend.

Your intern is wrong. Maybe in his liberal college bubble the word isn’t a curse. But I’m in my 20s myself, and the c-word ranks right up there with several other four-letter words that are not appropriate for polite company. Appalling.

I can not believe the news coverage this is making. Big woo. It was a slip. It wasn’t like she was calling someone that. This ranks right up there with Aretha having a fit about Beyonce calling Tina Turner the Queen. People are too sensitive. We have soldiers dying, a major election occurring, and plenty of other IMPORTANT hot topics that we should focus on. An apology was made, leave it alone.

Let’s just say that it’s no coincidence that the Le Brea Tar Pits and Hollywood are both located in the same region. Jane Fonda is just the most recent inhabitant to crawl out of the goo, say something incredibly stupid and then return to the pit.

I think George Carlin said it best… “7 words you can’t say!” funny!

It may not be a curse word but there is no denying that is a very offensive, and as you put it, a vulgar word. That word is only used in an insulting manner. In all my life (now 44 yrs old), I’ve been in thousands of conversations and never was that word used in casual terms. As for Jane Fonda using it on the air, just goes to show what little class she does possess. But she should be an authority on that word, she is one!

Carlos
Campbell, CA

She is ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jane was not using that 4 letter word as profanity, she was just reciting her middle name.

Jane has always had a filthy mouth. Women who talk that way have low self-esteem. Men, too, for that matter.

All Jane is doing is describing herself.

She is a has been and apparently will do or say anything for attention. Someone find her a boy toy or something. What happened to being a lady, crude tacky women make us all look bad. Yuck.

Jane Fonda is scum. She should have been tried for treason after her Hanoi Jane incident. Dedicated, loyal American prisoners were physically beaten because of her. She is a traitor to the U.S. and we shouldn’t be surprised to hear even more garbage coming out of her mouth.

Jane’s opinion of herself is quite different than the opinions others have of her.

She has been exempt from the consequences of her actions.

This latest example of her incredible bad judgement should be enough to exclude her from any live interviews.

Disgusted

Hello. I hope you are well. The entertainment industry has become disgusting. Unfortunately, many of our young people only know the history and morals the industry represents, and I say this as a high school math teacher. Entertainment personalities act as though they are elitists and their success transcends into knowledge concerning geo-politics and environmental issues, when many, in my opinion, could not think their way out of a paper sack. But then this is societie’s fault for idolizing them the way we do.

First of all - why would anybody want to watch a documented traitor? I bet if Jane stayed in Hanoi she wouldn’t be able to do or say half of the things she does today.

Hey Alisyn I have a favor to ask…..please tell your producers to deep six the hand-held camera. I am a very loyal viewer but since the inception of the hand-held camera wandering around the set shooting every possible angle, I feel like I’m watching the very first home movie somebody made with thier new camcorder. Pass the dramamine please.

I think the acceptability of Fonda using the C-word depends on the context; if she was referring to herself, then it was probably proper and correct. The witch is a has-been, and should have been tried for treason years ago.

It’s a pathetic reflection on our society that she wasn’t escorted off camera as soon as she said it. If anyone wonders why our kids are mannerless, anti-social, foul-mouthed jerks, look at what we allow to pass as ‘entertainment’ and ‘free speech’.

First of all - I don’t watch “The Today Show” and I don’t watch “The View” for reasons just like this. Anyone who has Hanoi Jane on their show is asking for trouble, not only from her but from their audience and ratings. I think she’s one of the most un-American “Americans” on earth and should have NEVER been allowed to re-enter the U.S. after her Viet Nam disgrace. If it were up to me Fonda, Turner, and a lot of others would be exiled to an island so they could all make each other miserable and not have their filth imposed on good, God-fearing Americans. Our country is being destroyed from within and she’s just one good example among many. We’re displaying what happens when “good men do nothing”. How long America allows such to continue will determine whether we all perish to terrorism - or worse.

Jane Fonda brings a new definition to the meaning of the “C word”.

Disgusted

Apparently she doesn’t have enough brains to know this is totally uncalled for & should have been reprimanded on the spot. Maybe then she will awaken to the real world.

What do these 4-letter low class words do to add to anyone’s Life Experiences??? Do they help someone understand an emotion a bit better or what??

Low class. Poor manners. Rudeness. What is happening??
Red Eye contributes to all of the above. YUCK

If this had happened on Fox & Friends, the FCC would be preparing the fine as I type this.

Alison,

You are correct, the “c” word is not a curse.

Jane Fonda brings a new dimension to the meaning of the word.

Disgusted

Hanoi Jane uttered a profane but acurate discription of herself.
I have few regrets in my life but not drawing a bead on her in the Philippines after her trip to Hanoi is one.

Alisyn, you and the team at FOX keep up the good work.

Jane Fonda is disgusting. She betrayed our brave boys that were being held in Viet Nam prision camps. Why would her foul language surprise us?! She is rather foul herself!!!!!

Regardless of context…use by Ms. Fonda of “that” word only identifies her for what she is! Freedom of Speech DOES NOT mean we do not have responsibility to use appropriate language. Just because I know the word/s doesn’t mean I have to use them! I see no difference in speaking the word or writing the word. So writing the “f” word “ing” - well, you might as well spell it out and say it out loud. Don’t we have a language that has inoffensive words that can be used? We so demean ourselves by slipping sexually derogatory words into “conversations”.

Anti American people such as Hanoi Jane should never be given air time in the first place. It further proves a point that she has no respect for the American people that have gotten her where she is. A one way ticket to Viet Nam is what she would be very deserving of, then she do her own thing like she is famous for.

Of course the word that Jane Fonda used was profanity. Ask AJ if he would use that word without reservation in a conversation with his own mother. If he would, then he’s either hopeless or lying. I’m very aware of the absolute breakdown in the use of proper words in our country, and it’s troubling to see from a mother/grandmother perspective. My parents taught us that the words we use are a reflection of the degree of respect we have for ourselves. I fear that many (particularly young people) are losing the art of civility in this country. That’s a sad thing!

This has nothing to do with being prudish. I have worked around the construction industry for many years. I’ve heard things that would blister your ears. There are just some words that should not be used, and this particular word is one of them.

Jane used the word in a calculated manner for the sole purpose of showing her hipness and relevance. In my opinion, she is neither hip nor relevant. The “Today” show was once my morning show of choice–but no more. I have not watched them since the late 90’s. I plan to never watch them again. The delay in their apology was insincere. They also are neither hip nor relevant.

Hi Aly,
I agree with some of the others and especially like Jerry. Jane Fonda is a traitor to this country and should be in prison. What a disgusting waste of human life she is. I do not understand how anyone could defend this woman on any level. And to whoever it was who said that we are all making a big deal about this, are you kidding me? I don’t know when that word would EVER be acceptable in any conversation on a TV show, (unless your watching some porn channel) I am no prude believe me, but I cannot for the life of me understand why some think this is freedom of speech. That is really stretching it.
I agree with our good friend Bill O’Reilly it seems like all the problems start with NBC, MSNBC. The View should think about going over to that network, I recall Whoopi using some pretty foul language she would fit right in. Meredith should be ashamed of herself as well, cackling like a school girl. This is why most of America and for that matter most of the world have no respect or regard for Hollywood. Shameless

A C is as a C does, and Fonda is capitol C , and a communist traitor to boot. Hmmmm, another C word. I guess the C word comes easy if you are one.

I heard that Meredith apologized but wasn’t it Traitor B—- that made the comment and isn’t she the one that should apologize? Will she even live that long? It took her over 30 years to give a half-a–ed apology for Vietnam as I recall. Then she turned around and ragged on our troops in Iraq. This piece of garbage has no morals or common decency. Anybody or network that gives her a platform deserves what they get.

Aly, I think you should tell everyone that Brian does not use foul language, he is getting a bad rap, I think it was Phil (maybe) reporting from one of his campaign spots who threw that out about Brian. I for one don’t believe it, I love Brian, I think he is not only adorable but so funny. Just like you ALY!

Isn’t Jane about 70? She kisses her grandkids with that mouth? I agree with some of the others who said she should have been asked to leave then and there.

Are these not the people that are going to save us from ourselves?
Is one capable of even a holding a decent conversation, or telling others what should be done, or what to do if they are not capable of controlling themselves?
As stated before, consider the source, the Hollywood left for years has held themselves above society in general as though they are some elitist force for good, that is there to protect, they know everything, if we only listened to them, they would “fix” everything for us.
Unfortunately for them, this very thought process they have developed, is what is holding them down/back, if everybody in a group thinks, acts, speaks, and generally has the same thoughts and views, they will never be able to do anything or accomplish anything outside their realm of thought, which may, or may not be correct, true, valuable, or worth anything.
From past examples we know that the things they do, and the causes they back for the most part, while making them feel good, and looking good on the face of things, tend to degenerate society on the whole.
People need to remember, these are just people, no matter what we do in life, we are even, we all have thoughts, some wrong, some right.
These people just tend to miss more often…
My_2_Cents…

SHE IS THE BIGGEST TRAITOR IN THIS COUNTRY. SHE SHOULD GO BACK TO HANOI !

I think hanoi jane should be on the Factor and maby Bill can clean her nasty mouth with a bar of soap.And then hang her for treason, ah but who cares what i think.

Shortly after fox cable news started I quit watching all network tv except our local fox station. Today, that is still the habit. Fox news all day and them fox local at night. I will not watch network tv because its turned to trash, lies and opinion stated as fact. I don’t let my grandchildren watch network tv either because, who knows what might happen on it!. I really don’t want to explain to my 5 and 4 years old great grandchildren what the “c” word is. Disgusting, plain disgusting.

Alisyn,
Look I really love you but unfortunately for you I love E D Hill more. How the heck do I find her.
You are both beautiful beyond words and implying the f word doesn’t make you more beautiful.
I’ll see you in the morning. Just wish we could be alone but since I will be in Tennessee and you in New York I don’t think yo will see much of me
Love ya

What is the big deal? Bill O’Reilly says “SCREW” all the time. Does anyone not know what that means? Why is one combination of letters that means the same thing as another combination more acceptable than the other? This is just crazy. Does anyone not fill in the blanks when you type “scr*w you” instead of “screw you”? I see that it is okay, on here, to type “f-ing”. Does anyone not fill in the blanks and not know what is being “said?”

Its okay for Fox and Friends to talk about the Soprano character “Big Pussy” but it would be simply horrible if there was a character named “Big C-word.”

Ridiculous. If it was something different, I coud understand but it is the same thing.

It is so refreshing to hear people speak using the English language correctly. It’s like great literature. Intelligent, high minded, and worthy. I am so happy that I have no idea what the C word is and I have no plans to find out. I do hope that FOX NEWS will keep the standard high as far as what is allowed on the air. Love to watch all of you.

I don’t think people are making a big deal out of nothing by being upset that Jane Fonda would use severe profanity on the Today Show. The reason I got upset is because my kids were in the room and heard her and we don’t talk like that in our house. Plus, Meredith Veira laughed heartily after she said it which make it seem acceptable. So the point is, why people are upset is because we trust the networks to ensure that they won’t expose our families to filth during what’s supposed to be a family show or the morning news. And people ARE getting more and more crude and free in their speech, but where does it end? When is enough enough? Do you want to go to McDonalds and be asked if you want fu**ing fries with that? Because that’s where all this vulgarity is headed, if we don’t stand up and say, Come on people (Jane Fonda) have some class and be considerate of others who don’t like filth like you do. I was at Home Depot the other day and I was complaining that no one would help me and the kid say, “Oh F**k, I’m sorry about that. And I thought, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Do people REALLY think this acceptable social behavior??? Did he actually think such a stupid and crude response was going to improve my opinion of Home Depot?

Alisys,

You have been a favorite of mine and my wife since you danced on the show several, several weeks ago. You dance very good!!!!!….and you guys seems like seem like you enjoy every single morning.

You need to do the “dancing” deal again soon. All good.

Hanoi Jane is the gift that just keeps on giving, isn’t she??? Ms. Fonda is a sad, aging has-been, who apparently is under the misguided impression that using words such as this makes her appear “with it” and “hip”. I suppose we shouldn’t be too surprised…look who this classless nut chose as 2 of her husbands-Tom Hayden and Ted Turner…Enough said.

Amazing. My first thought when seeing the headline — that Jane Fonda used the “c” word — was “Communist??”

Automatic association. And NATURALLY, I never imagined she’d have used the OTHER “c” word on daytime tv!

What is our society coming to. Grow up, Jane. And Meredith too, for that matter. Oh that’s right, that’s why I never watch “The View.”

Bernie Goldberg summed it up nicely on O’Reilly last night. Basically Hanoi Jane, Diane Keaton et al, are trying show just how hip they all are by swearing in public. Yes … they are are still quite hip and cool aren’t they?

From a very personal perspective on Sweet Jane -> it takes one to know one eh?

Bernie Goldberg summed it up nicely last night on O’Reilly. Hanoi Jane, Dainne Keaton et al., are still trying to prove they are ‘hip’ and still ‘with it’ and in touch with the younger generation - all by swearing. How quaint. Yes … they are all still too cool for the rest of us aren’t they?

A personal perspective on Sweet Jane -> takes one to know one eh Barbarella?
