Jon Voight Rebuttal

For those of you who don’t know, Jon Voight penned an Op-ed for the Washington Times yesterday. I now realize why his daughter won’t speak to him. Jon Voight is clearly a fucking moron and a lunatic. It’s a delightful combination. I’d like to respond to some of the points Jon made in his opinion piece, because it’s laughably moronic.


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.


Uh. What? How’s the whiskey intake gin blossom face?



Barack Obama did not grow up listening to any of the people you just mentioned. Not one. So, this op-ed really didn’t start well for you. Right off the bat, you’re a horrible fucking liar. But, I’ll keep reading.


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.


Actually, “we” can say militant angry teachers do not affect “us.” I haven’t been. I actually can’t think of any one of my friends who have been. I don’t know what sort of circles you run in, Voight, but now your peeps scare me. As far as Obama running the country “in their mindset,” are you a complete moron, or what? I would enjoy just one quote from Barack Obama that would back up this claim.


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.


Uh. I am nearly speechless. I do not know how we can exist in the same world. Maybe you have a pair of those glasses from They Live. It’s the only way I can explain your insanely distorted reality.


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.


Hey, you threw in a “so-called”! You put it in front of “peace movement,” you clever dog. Did you go to a Rush Limbaugh training camp? That kind of shit is so weak and simple-minded that I’m surprised anyone who can operate a computer would write it. And it is “so-called,” mostly because, that’s what it is called. Do you understand, the so-called Jon Voight? You don’t get to change the name because you don’t want it to be so. And as far as blaming the peace movement for the slaughter of 2.5 million people in two countries, well, good point. You are totally right. Vietnam was going swimmingly and the initial invasion was not responsible for all those deaths. Only the end part.


Those same leaders who were in the streets in the '60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our president, and they have found their way into our schools. William Ayers is a good example of that.


Hey, I’d just like to point out here that you played a so-called gay prostitute in a movie. What did that teach our kids? Sorry, I know, that was a bit off topic, but it’s about as relevant as bringing up William Ayers. Just playing by your rules. You know, the rules of desperation.


Thank God, today, we have a strong generation of young soldiers who know exactly who they are and what they must do to protect our freedom and our democracy. And we have the leadership of Gen. David Petraeus, who has brought hope and stability to Iraq and prevented the terrorists from establishing a base in that country.


And thank God we have an older generation of men who didn’t fight in Vietnam, but now can’t get enough of this disastrous war in Iraq. When you were 29, in 1968, you were playing a gay hustler on the streets of New York while your fellow Americans gave up their lives for a cause you now champion. How surprising and unlike your other right wing brethren. You’re a fucking coward, Johnny. A big fucking coward.

I’m a bit confused by your claim that Petraeus “prevented terrorists from establishing a base” in Iraq. You’ll have to explain it to these 56 people. Oh wait, you can’t because they are dead. Terrorists killed them yesterday. That’s a shame; you really were on to something there. Do you know who was better at keeping terrorists from “establishing a base” in Iraq? Saddam Hussein. Yeah, I know, it’s crazy, but reading history books is not wrong. You should try it, because you’re looking like an ignorant tool.


If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies.


And no. You don’t get to make shit up, just because you are an actor with a face that implicates you in a nightly vodka party. If Obama had his way, America would never have been in Iraq in the first place. Also, he voted to fund for the war over and over. So, you’re completely wrong. Shiite dominated Iraq is basically now ruled by Shiite dominated Iran. It’s a big, fat fail-fail. That’s what happens when you remove the Sunni dictator in a country full of Shiites. The only people who predicted this outcome were the ones who read books.

And it’s Senator Obama, you fucking douchebag. Show some respect to a man who has accomplished something you can’t even dream of. Your attempts to belittle him by not using his proper title only show your own pettiness.


With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there's not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb.


Is that because he’s been pretty much right about all that military and foreign affairs stuff and McCain has been wrong? Also, please provide evidence that Iran is making “great strides” toward getting the atomic bomb. Then give us a quote from Obama in which he takes Iran having a nuclear weapon lightly. Oh, and also please explain why the Iraqi Prime Minister is wrong for wanting a timeline for our departure. You obviously know more than the Prime Minister of Iraq, actor boy.


And while a misleading portrait of Mr. Obama is being perpetrated by a media controlled by the Democrats,


Yeah, I didn’t even finish that sentence. The first half is so gloriously retarded that I find no reason to continue. Your alcohol-addled brain is living in opposite land. You know that show Sliders that was on the Sci-fi channel? I think you are trapped in another reality, one that is mostly filled by simpletons.


The Obama camp has sent out people to attack the greatness of Sen. John McCain, whose suffering and courage in a Hanoi prison camp is an American legend.

Gen. Wesley Clark, who himself has shame upon him, having been relieved of his command, has done their bidding and become a lying fool in his need to demean a fellow soldier and a true hero.


Okay, wait. I’m just trying to figure this out. The Obama people are wrong for talking shit about McCain’s “greatness” and in the next paragraph, you do the exact same thing and attack a retired General. Got it.


This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.


Much like your brain, which lives in Lake Scotch.


Jon Voight is an Academy Award-winning actor who is well-known for his humanitarian work.


Don’t people have to know your humanitarian work for you to be “well-known for humanitarian work?” I know his daughter hates him, but that’s about it. And I now know that Voight doesn’t care about facts, he simply hears some blathering asshole yammering and he pretends it is true. Nothing he stated in this shocking display of reality disengagement is true. Nothing.

If Voight and his kind believe Obama is a Socialist, they might want to pick up a book about Socialism. If we are going to be so loose with our descriptions, I will now call Voight what he is: A Nazi. I know, it’s crazy, but we’re just pulling scary terms out of our assholes that are not at all applicable, which make Voight a Nazi. Bummer for him.

He's so Britney! Apparently he thinks it's also "dangerous" to be critical of the president... More like it's a danger to be told not to be critical of the president. What a moron. whatever

Wow, that whole thing is spectacularly bone-headed.

Also, the Khmer Rouge came to power because of the peace movement? Really? Chinese-backed North Vietnamese guerilla incursion, American carpet bombing, the alliance the Khmer Rouge formed with Prince Sihanouk while he was in exile in Beijing and backed by the PRC, and the withdrawal of American aid all had nothing to do with it? If Jon Voight really believes that, then all I can say is, he must have done a lot of drugs during the 60s and 70s.

Mind-boggling.

Oh come on give the guy a break, anyone can understand it's Jack Daniels talking here (or whatever alcoholic friend entertained him during the writing of this). Actually I kind of pity the guy, once upon a time most sites linking to this story (or anything else he says or does for the matter) would have written "Actor Jon Voight slams Barack Obama", now go look around the web and it's all "Angelina Jolie's dad slams Barack Obama". Such lack of respect can bring a man down, and if he was a drunk before this then it's breakdown guaranteed.

Nope. When I become a blithering drunken has-been who needs to slam presidential hopefuls as part of a desperate plan to convince myself I'm still relevant to the world I'm going to only regurgitate left-wing talking points.

Nicely rebutted.

Anything between the covers of The Washington Times is suspect at best, evil crap at worst. Voight has definitely degenerated into a very special kind of idiot, though. Depressing.

Seriously. I always laugh when people talk about left-wing movements as though they're all part of some huge conspiracy that can and will take over everybody's lives. The anti-Vietname demonstrators? They didn't actually accomplish a whole hell of a lot. They got their voice heard, to be sure, but that was pretty much it.

In general, most of us with left-wing tendencies talk a lot, and some of us go into politics and try to change things, but the notion that there's this huge, secret organization hell-bent on re-shaping the world in our image is ludicrous (now an organization of right-wingers who want to do that is more believable -- I believe it's called the Bush Administration). We can barely even be bothered to get together all at the same time, much less enact a secret war. And even if we did decide to stop watching Jon Stewart and stop complaining about the Star Wars prequels, how effective could we really be? Would an ordinary Iraqi suddenly turn into an Islamic fundamentalist because he used his working electricity and computer to read about leftist protestors on CNN.com?

Ironically enough, it's usually conservatives who blather on about personal responsibility; yet when it comes to "The Enemy," it's liberals' fault. Huh?
