Is this the same Tom Hayden from the Chicago Seven (eight) ?

   - Yes. Dapoloplayer 04:16, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I believe Tom Hayden did travel to Vietnam with Jane Fonda. Dapoloplayer 04:16, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

The article includes this sentence: "He made several high profile trips as a peace activist to Cambodia and North Vietnam during America's involvement in the Vietnam War, including an especially controversial one in 1972 to North Vietnam with his future wife, actress Jane Fonda."

According to Fonda's 2005 autobiography Jane Fonda: My Life So Far, she made that trip ALONE. See page 291 and following.

[edit] Apologized for opposition to Vietnam war?

"In June of 2007 on Comedy Central's Colbert Report Hayden publicly apologized for his participation in the opposition to the Vietnam War."

I haven't seen that episode, but I'm thinking there might have been some element of sarcasm there -- but it reads completely straight, so that someone who doesn't know what the Colbert Report is would think this demonstrated a 180-degree change in Hayden's attitude. Can someone who knows more clarify the context? I somehow doubt that his opposition to the war fills Hayden with remorse.

He totally did apologize. Watch that shit for free on Comedy Central.com. Colbert tells him thank you twice for apologizing about his participation in the Vietnam War, and Hayden never denies it. Props to Colbert!

• Sigh, no, he did not apologize. Colbert was doing his normal act of pretending to be a right wing idiot and said that Hayden apologizes for it as he ended the interview and Hayden just smiled rather than interrupting Colbert as he went to commercial. Go view the interview. It is just sad how some people have to put lies like this into articles here. I guess it makes them feel they have big penises or something. Fanra 01:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
