The Washington Times ^ | July 2, 2009 | Jennifer Harper

Free speech got a loud boost from Hollywood on Wednesday. Jon Voight has responded to accusations from a critic sympathetic to the American Communist Party, who said the actor had used hate speech and threatened the well-being of President Obama during a recent appearance before Republicans in Washington.

Mr. Voight denied both charges, saying that those who speak out against the Obama administration are "demonized" and "attacked," often with hate speech.

No pouncing here, but he no longer has to worry about retribution from the Hollywood lib establishment— he is no longer looking for work. And those same libs are too enamored of his daughter to take it out on her...

Agree. We are in a world of hurt. We just voted down a whole slate of taxes yet the Dems in the State Legislature keep trying to bring them in anyway. Businesses are leaving California like rats from a sinking ship. Good luck to America. We'll really need it.

To my chagrin, I hesitate to go to the Wash Times site because it seems to lock up my computer...anyone else notice that this website is full of weird stuff or poorly constructed?

Takes forever to load. Really crap.

Official apologizes for saying Bush should be shot between eyes

And of course, the "Snipers Wanted" incident by Craig Kilborn - boy was that hilarious:

WEre the antiAmerican socialist punk to somehow get thrown off the White House roof though I’d go out in the street and celebrate.

You think the idea of President Joe Biden is something worthy of celebration?

If only Republican Congresscritters would find such a passionate voice. I’m very pleased we are now seeing more high profile people (ok, just one more) say that want O’s policies to fail.

I wonder how many guilt-ridden whites are missing Bush about now?

I don’t have an AKs, That’s my kids preference.
I like Ruger and Kimber.
But I have to laugh and wonder just how many folks have been killed in the M.E. as a result of just that. Not nearly enough.

I think Joe Biden is an incompetent drunk. Whereas this assclown is a committed antiAmerican socialist punk.

The fact a Communist defends BO says all you need to know about him.

My first thought exactly - - and it's the reason the Democrat "mainstream" media is laying low on this.

He's not looking for work? When did that happen? He played a major character in last season's 24, albeit a bad guy. (That was hard for me to take.)

I can’t wait to see what the communist POS say about Helen Thomas’ attack on Bozo. Now, that was a surprise.
