Actor Jon Voight appeared on The Factor tonight and just made sense. It’s sad that that’s news, but coming from a Hollywood actor it tends to be news when one makes sense and doesn’t just traffic in leftwing talking points. You can count patriotic actors on one hand these days, and apparently you can count Voight among them. He talked about the war, about protesters on the left who deface the president, and how we’ve been invaded by “propaganda,” by which he means the noisy international anti-war movement. Click to play.
This isn’t the first time the patriot in Jon Voight has come out. On April 19 the boss posted a link to an interview Voight gave to Radar Magazine after he visited wounded troops at Walter Reed. Like the clip here, that interview was chock full of good thoughts.
Do you think it’s possible to win the Iraq War?
Here’s what I think: this is a real war, extended beyond the borders of Iraq.
As in the more general war on terror?
The war on terror is real. People would have you believe it’s not real. This is not Vietnam. This particular situation is not the same wherein we can walk away and just leave destruction behind us. No, we can’t. Anyone who has paid attention to what [Iranian President] Ahmadinejad is saying, what all the mullahs are saying in this country and in England, and in all of the Arab world, this is serious—they’re calling for the destruction of America and all democracy and that’s what’s going on. We could lose this war.

Oh yeah comming home. he gets to screw Jane Fonda in that movie . So I guess he can’t be all bad. I will say I was shocked when Billo blurted out September Dawn. Yeah PNG for sure, talkin crazy like that in Hollywood. I thought the same thing about RR for the longest time I mean an actor c’mon how can you tell when their telling the truth? I voted in 1980 for him and broke family party ties to do so because of his record as Goverener of California. Actions always speak louder no?

7. Bruce Boxleitner
8. Jerry Doyle
9. Emma Caulfield (played Anya on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) who was described as being “ultraconservative” by Joss Whedon. Here’s a snippet from Bridget Johnson’s opinion piece in the July 21. 2004 OpinionJournal:
Along with not succumbing to the casting couch and not dating your co-stars, one of the unwritten rules in Hollywood has been not coming out of the GOP closet. Actress Emma Caulfield (”Darkness Falls”) was slammed when she said she would campaign for Elizabeth Dole. “I would never fully admit to being a Republican in this town,” she later told Premiere magazine. “I want to work.”

I know it’s kinda nitpicking, but imho, the title should have a comma after “…war…” As it is, the title might suggest to some that Voight is in a war with O’Reilly.
John Voight talks about the war on O’Reilly
John Voight talks about the war, on O’Reilly
I’m just sayin’.

Having seen and felt the awesome power of propaganda during the Vietnam war, the propaganda from the liberal ‘must run’ faction is a very serious threat indeed.
Just look at how those who are on the right side of the isle have been affected.
Those who disseminate destructive propaganda with the intent of harming America must be held to account.
