Hollywood Tries To ‘Knee-Cap’ Jon Voight On His Op-Ed
Jon Voight’s opinion in the WaTimes the other day pretty much hit the “Hussein” on the head … Now seems as though Hollywood’s gotta play Tonya Harding to Voight’s Nancy Kerrigan. Which is approprite since the post’s authro, Jeffrey Wells is a militant homosexual, who hates anything Coservative and a threat to free-flowing, unchecked perversion.
And THIS is all they got …
Fallen
by Jeffery Wells - (Hollywood Elsewhere)
I’ve never thought of Jon Voight as intellectually challenged, but it’s hard not to at least consider the possibility after reading his 7.28 Washington Times op-ed piece slamming Barack Obama. “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,” Voight wrote. “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.”
Me Here: Question - Ummm, EXACTLY what was it Voight said in his ‘piece’ that was incorrect about the dem candidate and his intentions and agenda for this country?
I finally get what Angelina Jolie has been on about all these years. (I think.) Most people reading the Voight piece will say, “Okay, the Times gave him the rope and he hung himself.” But you’d think an arch conservative working in an overwhelmingly liberal town would think about restraining himself for expediency’s sake, if nothing else.
Me Here: Translation - Voight should have “black-listed” himself into silence …
My honest deep-down reaction is that I now have a reason to feel negatively about the guy. I’m not saying Voight is on the HE shit list (although the idea certainly feels good — just as it felt good to imagine the same thing last spring about Tina Fey when she became a rabid Hillary person on SNL), and I certainly don’t think a symbolic condemnation along these lines would matter much to anyone. Nonetheless, it’s going to be hard henceforth not to think of Voight as some kind of diseased wingnut.
Me Here: Translation - “Don’t be talkin’ about my boyfriend Obama like that, Voight!”
I’ll always admire and respect Voight’s better performances (Luke in Coming Home, Reynolds in Enemy of the State, Ed in Deliverance, Howard Cosell in Ali, Manny in Runaway Train, FDR in Pearl Harbor, Jack in Desert Bloom, Paul Serone in Anaconda). And he’s obviously entitled to say and write whatever he wants. But it’s only natural that industry-based Obama supporters will henceforth regard him askance. Honestly? If I were a producer and I had to make a casting decision about hiring Voight or some older actor who hadn’t pissed me off with an idiotic Washington Times op-ed piece, I might very well say to myself, “Voight? Let him eat cake.”
Me Here: Translation - The idiotic and intentional dismissal of Voight’s outstanding performance in “The Champ” … and highlighting fucking “Anaconda” is pure evidence this shit-head doesn’t, and never has, liked Jon Voight …
Wells SWINGS … and a MISS!!!
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
It used to be that the communists were blacklisted. Now the Communists are doing the blacklisting. As it is, it looks like we’ve lost the Cold War. Lenin’s rolling in his glass box grave thing.
July 30th, 2008 at 4:39 pmthis guy is just another snobby ass liberal elitist. who the hell uses the word Henceforth twice in the same article? this guy did. like when Obamas advisor used the words ’smacked of arrogance’.
John Voigt was correct in the article he wrote.
and you know the liberal M.O. if you cant fight TRUE words with facts then just go for personal attacks. aint’ that right dickhead writer of this article.
July 30th, 2008 at 4:57 pmSo why link to this guy’s website and send him traffic?
July 30th, 2008 at 5:05 pmChris, So we can call him a dickhead and he can read it.
The blacklist reversed(Rob’s point) does not compute to the puke author. Only intellectually challenged (conservative patriots) would see that switcharoo.
Kurt, It’s funny, their M.O. is the same as a child would use. Henceforth, he’s a little dickhead.
Jon Voight is a mench and a hell-of-a good actor.

July 30th, 2008 at 5:28 pmDeep down most of these leftards know how screwed and fucked up they are and how fake and insanely impressionable they are all at once. The honorable Mr Voight tells them squarely what they are and why it’s wrong, more importantly he does so because he understands the nature of the world we live in and that what is at stake is far greater than the sweets this stranger Obama is offering. He’s a stranger, the only thing quantifiable is that he’s bullshit on tap and a narcissistic panderer.
Osama and Obama have some things in common, they both speak fatuous drivel and both use teleprompters of some sort to keep to their manifesto of influencing the mindless and easily impressed. Most of all both seek to weaken a resolve that requires vigilance of the highest order to maintain and secure peace, freedom and liberty.
We may also ask what is more dangerous, an apocalyptic dwarf in Tehran who says he is Mohamed’s will, or Obama who thinks he is God or god-like? Imo both are mentally emotionally disturbed and equally dangerous. Leftards like the haughty hollyweird types want to vote a megalomaniac into power so he can have tea and scones with other deranged despots, conservatives a man of many life experiences who understands endurance is the better part of strength and resolve in defeating and overcoming oppression everywhere. Who understands that appeasement of tyrants begets more tyranny and woe.
for John V! Cheers!!
July 30th, 2008 at 5:59 pmWells is exactly the kind of National Enquirer wannabe asshole we’ve discussed lately. Good to see another shining example.
July 30th, 2008 at 6:10 pmThe only plausible ‘reason’ for him to write this has to be he’s looking for ’street cred’ amongst his peers. Think he really gives a shit about Voight? These shitheads don’t care about anything other than themselves.
Who cares what this useless @#$%@#$%* thinks.
July 30th, 2008 at 7:12 pmWe care because it demonstrates the lack of seriousness the libtards possess.
This is what they consider deep thought and persuasive rebuttal.
We care because it shows the libtards have nothing left, idea-wise, to offer America.
Henceforth, we arch-conservatives will look askance at MS. Wells and her use of identity politics (I’m not saying Voight is on the HE shit list).
BTW, what would the HE “shit” list be to a faggot? I shudder at the thought.
July 30th, 2008 at 8:53 pm“If I were a producer and I had to make a casting decision about hiring Voight or some older actor who hadn’t pissed me off with an idiotic Washington Times op-ed piece….”
This one line says it all. Most of the Hollywood insiders are hypocrites who want to book talent that agrees with their party line. Funny how they’re becoming more open about it instead of laughing behind closed doors.
I thought Wells was going to write, “Let ‘em squirm,” rather than “Let him eat cake.” He must think he’s a queen.
July 31st, 2008 at 12:24 amSheesh, since when is it wrong to voice an opinion? :roll:I think what voight said was great, and I wish people would not insult him for how he feels
July 31st, 2008 at 3:01 amOnce again left shows they are the fascists, and no one can speak unless what you say agrees with their opinions.
Even though hollyweird acts like they are not capitalist, they are, making money is their game and the producers of major films will still call on Voight for the simple fact that majority of films that he has been in are blockbusters and his performances in them are memorable!! Mr. Voight knows this and will continue to say Fuck you Hollywood, I have an opinion and I will state IT!!!
July 31st, 2008 at 4:12 am“Nonetheless, it’s going to be hard henceforth not to think of Voight as some kind of diseased wingnut.”
This is the single sentence that makes me laugh out loud at this guy’s pomposity. I wonder if an actor who traveled to Baghdad before the bombing starts to serve as human shields for the great liberal leader Saddam Hussein would also qualify as a “diseased wingnut”? And what about the actors who have been cosying up to that great Latin American light of freedom and liberty, Chavez? Are they also deserving of being overlooked for roles because of their politics? Fascist!!
July 31st, 2008 at 5:46 amFact of the matter is Coming Home was an Anti-War movie to the max. Remember his speech to the kids wanting to enlist? He was the “other side” to the Marine recruiter.He played an angry Marine Vet who chained himself to the recruiting station
I mean the guy played a fag gigolo in Midnight Cowboy.
Voight changed his views for an unknown reason. Perhaps his Hollywood paymasters made him. Not uncommon in that town
July 31st, 2008 at 6:13 amHe actually didnt change his views for an unknown reason. he was on fox and friends this morning and explained it. said the pullout in the vietnam war and the slaughter of all those people after that pissed him off a great deal and then 9/11 was the deal breaker. he was a Republican after that.
July 31st, 2008 at 6:26 amI also read an interview with him that the first time he went to Walter Reed to visit with wounded soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan and talked with them he was a changed man forever and commited to the course we were doing.
