Jon Voight: Obama Has Taken Over Media 'In No Less A Way' Than Chavez Has In Venezuela By Noel Sheppard Created 08/29/2012 - 2:39pm "The media has been overtaken by the Obama administration in no less a way than Hugo Chavez took over media in Venezuela.” Such was said Wednesday by actor Jon Voight during a Spreecast with Steve Malzberg (video follows with transcribed highlights, relevant section nine minutes in): After Malzberg noted some of the media censorship of minorities speaking at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Voight said, “I’ve been talking about this in the press, and I...

Letter to the American People from Jon Voight regards Obama's aggression on America/its people.

Academy Award-winning actor and silver-screen conservative Jon Voight shares his reaction to news that New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg will include President Obama and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo at the solemn remembrance of the 9/11 attacks at ground zero on Sunday. But no clergy. And no prayers.

Jon Voight says Barack Obama capable of destroying the US in lame duck session. On last night’s Hannity on FNC, actor Jon Voight was asked by fill-in host Mark Steyn (Sean took off for Christmas early) about Obama’s Start Treaty ambitions. Sporting a new mustache, the actor showed a grasp of foreign policy knowledge that was far superior to that of all Democrats and liberals combined. His message to the American people was simple: Call your senators today and make certain that you put pressure on them not to vote yes on Obama’s Start Treaty and the underhanded way that...

An open letter from actor Jon Voight to President Obama: June 22, 2010 President Obama: You will be the first American president that lied to the Jewish people, and the American people as well, when you said that you would defend Israel, the only Democratic state in the Middle East, against all their enemies. You have done just the opposite. You have propagandized Israel, until they look like they are everyone's enemy — and it has resonated throughout the world. You are putting Israel in harm's way, and you have promoted anti-Semitism throughout the world. You have brought this to...

Your destruction of this country may never be remedied, and we may never recover. I pray to God you stop, and I hope the people in this great country realize your agenda is not for the betterment of mankind, but for the betterment of your politics.

Celebrity actor, Jon Voight, is supposedly supporting Corrogan Vaughn in his campaign for US Senate against Barbara Mikulski in Maryland. According to the campaign website: "Vaughn talked with celebrity actor Jon Voight at the [March 20th Health Care Code Red] rally. The two met once before at a hospital where Vaughn was undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. Voight recognized Vaughn and was struck by Vaughn's resolve in battling back from the brain tumor and overcoming, without a government handout, the $250,000 in hospital bills that resulted from the surgery. Voight offered to help Vaughn significantly in his campaign." The...

Jon Voight has written a startling letter to President Obama and the American people that he read on Mike Huckabee's Fox News program Saturday. "In one year, the American people are witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his whole administration," he wrote. "The lie is a potent aggression that feeds the needs of people who either have not educated themselves enough to understand the assault upon us all or the very poor and needy who live to be taken care of."

Wow, He hits the Obama Adm. hard in this letter on the Huckabee program President Obama little by little "rapes this nation"... Voight: "In one year, the American people are witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his whole Administration, the lie is a potent aggression that feeds the needs of people who either have not educated themselves enough to understand the assault upon us all, or the very poor and needy who live to be taken care of. President Obama feeds these people poison, giving them the idea that they are entitled to take...

In what have got to be the most morally clear statements to ever come out of an actor working in the entertainment business, Jon Voight mercilessly told off Barack Obama in a way that was long overdue and extremely consummate. Appearing on Huckabee on Saturday, Jon Voight read a letter to the American people that he had specially prepared for his appearance. Looking intrepidly at the camera and reading confidently, Voight rebuked Obama for feeding poison to America's ill-educated and the poor for the purposes of wealth redistribution. Voight also took Obama to task for being a disciple of the...

Here is video of conservative actor Jon Voight appearing on The Huckabee Show tonight, where he read a personal letter he has written to the American People about Barack Obama. Here is the text of the letter: "In one year, the American people are witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his whole administration. The lie is a potent aggression that feeds the needs of people who either have not educated themselves enough to understand the assault upon us all or the very poor and needy who live to be taken care of. President Obama...

Jon Voight was one of the reasons this rally was organized at the last minute. He gave a great speech and I was able to get close to him as he walked towards the Cannon Office Building. I saw him in the hallways of Cannon doing his best to lobby to stop this monstrosity.

Four lawmakers, one movie star, one relative of President Obama and a broad coalition of 30 "tea party" and grassroots interest groups plan a noisy "Code Red" protest rally outside the Capitol on Saturday to call for the defeat of Mr. Obama's heath care reform package. The group will gather at noon in Senate Park, just a day before House members will likely take their vote on the lengthy and contentious legislation, which has been as closely chronicled by the press as the March Madness basketball rivalries.

The RNC video biography of Governor Sarah Palin narrated by Jon Voight.

on Voight: Democrats’ ‘Oppressive’ Health Care Bill Will ‘Decimate’ the U.S. Economy Friday, November 06, 2009 By Nicholas Ballasy, Video Reporter (CNSNews.com) - Thousands of Americans opposed to the Democrats’ health care plan marched on Capitol Hill Thursday urging lawmakers to “kill the bill.” Among the speakers at the rally was Hollywood actor Jon Voight who told CNSNews.com he does not believe the Constitution authorizes Congress to require individuals to purchase health insurance. He also said there are “a lot of things that are unconstitutional” going on in Congress. CNSNews.com asked Voight, “Does the Constitution authorize Congress to be able...

Asked about the several thousand protestors who gathered on Capitol Hill today to protest Democratic health care reform legislation, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs joked about one of the actors who was a featured speaker at the rally, saying, “I'm sure there's a Jon Voight joke in here somewhere, given he was one of the featured speakers, but…my father always told me my mouth would get me in trouble, and I have a feeling if I acted on the line that I'd like to give you, I'm almost positive that it would.” Voight spoke at the rally, decrying the...

Actor Jon Voight gave a powerful and impactful speech today in Washingon, D. C. Voight, who was joining Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and thousands of citizens to protest Obamacare, gave a patriotic speech that was inspirational, blunt, and sharp in it's criticism of President Obama and his Socialist agenda. Consequently, I'm officially adding Mr. Voight to "Obama's Enemies List" today (see sidebar). Below is the video from Jon Voight's rousing and spirited speech on November 5, in the nation's capital.....

Here is video of Jon Voight speaking at the anti-ObamaCare teaparty rally on the capitol steps. Voight said that "President Obama has his own obsession with trying to ram this health bill through to create a socialist America." Voight also asked "could it be he(Obama) has had 20 years of subconscious programing by Rev. Wright to damn America?" (Video)

Mark Levin announced on his radio program this evening that tomorrow's rally point (at noon, Thursday, November 5) has been moved to the west steps of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

In another era, it was Paul Revere red flagging patriots with the immortal words, “The British are coming!”. Until patriots arrive on Congress steps Thursday at noon, it’s “We the People are coming!” The courageous, Paul Revere like call to action is from bottom liner Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who wouldn’t let Democrats—who changed the locks on doors against the opposition—keep her from turning the tide on the countdown to Obamacare. Waiting on the Congress steps will be radio talk-show giant, bestselling Liberty & Tyranny author and beloved American folk hero Mark Levin along with “Midnight Cowboy”, “Obama-is-the-false-prophet” crusader Jon...

Here is video of Actor Jon Voight appearing on the Mike Huckabee show and saying "we are witnessing the takeover of our true freedoms." Voight said he wanted to speak out against ObamaCare. Voight said "We are becoming a Socialist nation." He also said "Obama is causing civil unrest in this country." Voight said Obama seems to have made passing ObamaCare a "personal crusade." Though Obama says "this isn't about me," Voight says it is obvious it is about him, and he is determined to pass ObamaCare "no matter the outcry." Voight hammered Obama for playing the "God Card," referring...

Jon Voight at Hannity’s Freedom Concert: ‘If we let Obama have his way, he will ruin America’

John blasts Obama at the 2009 Freedom Concert! Worth your while! Enjoy!

A Hollywood conservative has headed East. It's "Freedom Concert" time for Jon Voight. The Academy Award winner will join Sean Hannity in Cincinnati and Atlanta this weekend to honor fallen soldiers and present college scholarships to surviving children. Mr. Voight -- a warrior himself in many ways -- has been cogitating about the state of America, meanwhile. "There's a real question at stake now. Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?" Mr. Voight tells Inside the Beltway. "We are witnessing a slow, steady takeover of our true freedoms. We are becoming a socialist nation, and whoever...

It is a chilling question and one that has been troubling me for about two weeks. I read the “low grade civil war” phrase as a declarative statement from a commenter on a news story about the Congressional Town Hall meetings and it has been rattling in my brain ever since. I’ve been wanting to post about this question and today seemed like the right time since now I’m not the only one worried about this question. In today’s Washington Times, actor/activist Jon Voight makes this statement: “There’s a real question at stake now. Is President Obama creating a civil...

A Hollywood conservative has headed East. It's "Freedom Concert" time for Jon Voight... "There's a real question at stake now. Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?" Mr. Voight tells Inside the Beltway.

Jon Voight's Profile in Courage Jeffrey Lord. "'There's a group being formed to deal with you,' the unidentified voice said. 'They're going to fix you so you won't ever act again.'" -- Ronald Reagan, writing in his autobiography Where's the Rest of Me of an anonymous phone call he received while fighting Communist infiltration of the motion picture industry in 1949. The threat was simple. Either Ronald Reagan stopped speaking out on his views of Communists in the movie business -- or he would have acid tossed in his face, disfiguring him. His main asset as an actor thus destroyed,...

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.

John Voight was accused of hate speech. The Academy Award-winning actor was cited Monday by People's Weekly World, a magazine once known as the "Daily Worker" and sympathetic to the Communist Party.

Jon Voight may have come to CineVegas Sunday night to accept an award, but that didn’t stop the outspoken actor from sharing some of his partisan political views on the red carpet. “Right now we’re in a real bad mess,” Voight said when asked about the current state nation’s politics. “So many things are changing, we don’t realize that we’re losing ground almost every day,” he said. It’s no secret that the actor is no fan of the President.

Talking to Bill O'Reilly.

"Obama is a very good actor. He knows how to play it. And he is very adept at creating this 'Obama' - this character who is there whenever the world needs something," he said.

It may say something about the Republican Party's search for a new voice that a lot of the Weblog traffic about last night's $14.5-million GOP fundraiser today is not about the keynote speaker, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, but rather about Angelina Jolie's father. That's Jon Voight, who stirred the Republican dinner crowd at the Washington Convention Center with some red-meat on President Barack Obama - the "false prophet.'' Voight made a name for himself in the movies alongside Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy some 40 years ago and lately has been featured as the evil - and now screen-dead...

Actor John Voight, father of actress Angelina Jolie, emceed the dinner and offered a warmly received stinging rebuke of Obama in his opening remarks, rehashing many of the attacks used against the president in the campaign such as his ties to 60’s radical Bill Ayers. “Obama as a candidate portrayed himself as a moderate but turned out to be wildly radical, Everything Obama has recommended has turned out to be disastrous.” Voight singled out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, billionaire George Soros, and senior White House aide David Axelrod “and their ilk...

August 12th, 2008. Glenn Beck speaks about Obama with actor Jon Voight who recently came under attack by Hollywood for denouncing Obama and socialism! "You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money." ~P.J. O'Rourke This website is filled with some great information that everybody needs to see before giving their grandchildrens liberties to the Federal government: http://www.youtube.com/user/shanklinmike

Other than the awful Blue Collar comedy crew, you don't see a whole lot of humor come from the political right. The tasteless, wrongheaded but consistently entertaining "An American Carol" is David Zucker's effort to show the satire sword can swing both ways. Never mind that the movie is about as politically relevant as Zucker's "Airplane!" Taking a reverse Colbert approach, Zucker attacks Michael Moore by exaggerating his political stances and exposing logical fallacies. Lead Kevin P. Farley, as rotund, ballcap-wearing documentarian Michael Malone, is a major reason the slipshod film is as entertaining as it is. The unheralded brother...

John Voight opened for Gov. Palin today in Carson, Ca. Beforehand, the media grabbed him to ask him a few questions. Reluctantly, he answered some, but saying that, really, they should be asking Gov. Palin. What he said wasn't what they expected, as this youtube attests to.

Newsmax: You recently had an article in the Washington Times in which you expressed some of your views on Barack Obama. What would you say is your primary concern about Obama? Voight: The influences that have created him. You know, if you look back into his past, and it’s not too distant because he’s not a very old fellow, you can see the influences that produced him. It was quite unusual to see at the Democratic Convention that the only people who could stand up for his character were people who a month earlier were saying that he was unqualified...

This time, conservatives in Tinseltown have collaborated to communicate their ideas, but they’re doing it in jocular way. The movie has a cast that includes veteran stars Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, James Woods, Dennis Hopper, Robert Davi, and Leslie Nielsen. With this kind of lineup, you’d expect some great performances. And there are, under the master comedy direction of Zucker. The plot loosely follows Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” with Kevin Farley playing the character of Michael Malone, a modern-day Scrooge who wants to abolish the July Fourth holiday. Paris Hilton, who happens to be a Sen. Barack Obama supporter,...

They meet discreetly once a month at a res­taurant in the Valley. At first, there weren't many--Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper--but now...there still aren't many. Nevertheless, they're a resolute bunch: proud, loud, and a little lonely. They are Hollywood's conservatives. "You sort of feel like you have to hide it," says director David Zucker. "When you meet, you give each other a secret look--'Are you a Republican too?' It's the new gay." On Oct. 3, Zucker and his lunchmates will out themselves when An American Carol, Hollywood's first unabashedly right-wing comedy, opens in 2,000 theaters. Think Dickens' holiday classic,...

Does anyone have a link to the video that was shown 25 minutes ago on FoxNews? This was the video intended to introduce Sarah to the country last night but they ran out of time due to the many speakers before her. It was FANTASTIC. Besides all the great images and insights provided of this LADY and her family, I was pleased to see her oldest son with his Cubs hat -- an obvious fan. Why isn't this up on You Tube yet? Jon Voight did the voice-over and it was fantastic.

Amazing interview Michael talks with Jon Voight re; new movie An American Carol, Vietnam War, McCain Campaign/prisoner of war, Enemies around the World, Angelina Jolie, Cindy McCain.

SNIP The protest was organised by a pro-military group called Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission. Many of its members have children or other family members in the military. Often they have lost their loved ones in the conflicts in Iraq or Afghanistan. But it has not diminished their commitment to a war many other Americans increasingly find unpopular. Debbie Lee is no exception. Her son, Marc Allan Lee, was killed in combat in Iraq in August, 2006. He was the first Navy Seal to die in the war. SNIP Lee's sentiments were echoed by Hollywood actor...

LOS ANGELES - Roseanne Barr is using her personal Web site to slam Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Jolie's father, Jon Voight. Calling Jolie Voight’s “evil spawn” and Pitt “vacuous,” Roseanne’s attack seems to be directed at the actress and her family members over their opinions regarding presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama. Roseanne’s post starts out as a rant against an opinion piece Voight wrote against Obama for the Washington Times in July.“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...

BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In the "Factor Follow-up" segment tonight: Last week, actor Jon Voight wrote an op-ed in The Washington Times saying that he did not trust Barack Obama on terrorism issues, among other things. In response, Hollywood blogger Jeffrey Wells wrote, "If I were a producer and had to make a casting decision, I might very well say to myself, 'Voight? Let him eat cake.'" Now we talked to Mr. Wells a few days ago, and he denied that was a threat, but it sure sounded like one. Joining us now from Los Angeles is Jon Voight. You know,...

For anyone who has ever been on a movie set, the commotion inside Warner Brothers Studio 15 will be familiar: serious-faced actors and actresses quietly rehearsing their lines; the director of photography huddled with his assistants around two high-definition screens inside a small black tent reviewing the last scenes; extras lounging around the set trying both to stay out of the way and to get noticed; carpenters busily working to construct the set for the next scene; a frazzled first assistant director guzzling Red Bull and yelling instructions to anyone who will listen. "Rolling," he shouts. Others throughout the cavernous...

Jon Voight intended to turn heads with the “very strong points” in his Washington Times op-ed last week (titled: Voight: My Concerns For America ~ Obama sowing socialist seeds in young people). But he probably didn’t expect so many of them to reside in Hollywood. In a sign of the growing interest in politics this election year, bloggers who normally focus on the entertainment industry are expanding their presence in one of the Internet’s other spheres of influence. Voight’s piece slammed Democratic candidate Barack Obama, praised GOP contender John McCain, and even repudiated his own Vietnam War protests as the...

Last Monday on these pages, my article "Blacklist Then and Now" coincidentally appeared the same day as an op-ed penned by screen legend Jon Voight. Since his Oscar-winning turn in the 1978 antiwar film "Coming Home," the venerable actor has come to the conclusion that he and many in the "so-called peace movement" were manipulated by Marxist propaganda. "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...
