Jon Voight, a solid Hollywood actor has aligned himself with the Republican Party in full.
Voight was the host of the GOP Congressional Dinner, a fundraiser in Washington, DC last night and did not hold his tongue when it came to President Obama.
Actor Jon Voight, who hosted the dinner, delivered a particularly harsh rebuke to Obama, saying he was "embarrassed" by the president and that Obama's leadership would cause the "downfall" of the country.
"We are becoming a weak nation," he said, calling Obama a "false prophet" and his administration the "Obama oppression."
Wow, harsh words indeed. Who called President Obama a prophet in the first place? It is a reminder of campaign rhetoric created by the Republican Party from 2008, which did not stick.
I will never forget this editorial over at the Washington Times in 2008 that Voight penned. A hit piece of the highest magnitude.
Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.
The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.
The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.
For Voight, who still believes this in his mind, that the Democrats targeted young people for propaganda is well, utterly ridiculous. How about this? The Democrats won the hearts and minds of young voters because we stand with young voters and their issues. Issues like gay rights, gay marriage, college loan reform, the environment, climate change, the realization of SCIENCE in our schools, just to name a few. What about that, Mr. Voight? Oh, Angie, I feel for you. I bet growing up with Jon Voight as a father was a piece of work.
Jon Voight, a strong and emblematic representation of the Republican Party: male, pale, and stale.
