Video: Nice movie career you’ve got there, wingnut; it’d be a shame if something happened to it
posted at 9:21 pm on August 8, 2008 by Allahpundit
One ominous comment from an entertainment writer does not a blacklist make, but then it’s more than just one comment that has people like Voight and Breitbart concerned. Consider this a bookend to Ed’s post this morning about Tom Matzzie’s strongarm tactics; given the media attention to that story and to this one, I’d say we’re already well into backfire territory on each. As for Voight’s allusion near the end to hearing more from Hollywood conservatives in the next few months, I assume he means David Zucker’s upcoming movie. The negative reviews are doubtless already being written, but read Stephen Hayes’s piece on it in the Standard if you haven’t yet. I hope it does well because this may be the last paycheck the cast sees for awhile. Click the image to watch.
Update (Ed): I interviewed Myrna Sokoloff, co-writer of Voight’s upcoming movie with David Zucker, An American Carol, yesterday. She and I discussed the future prospects of the cast, which includes Dennis Hopper, Kelsey Grammer, and Kevin Farley, as well as her own hopes for a career. The movie comes out October 3rd.

I heard Voight on Mark Levin last week and he was saying there are times when some very well known Hollywood actors take him aside and whisper things like “I am with you.” and “I am so glad that I am not alone.”
You know Hollywood is really messed up when people have to be covert because they believe in values.
carbon_footprint on August 8, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Well,Hollywood’s current formula – hate America first – isn’t making them any money, so Voight really has not a lot to loose.
Topsecretk9 on August 8, 2008 at 9:27 PM
See? When, every once in a while, Angelina Jolie says or does something sane, it’s Jon Voight’s genes doing the work.
madne0 on August 8, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Jon Voight rocks! He’s staying strong. I’m gonna go rent “Runaway Train” again this weekend in his honor…for the 20th time.
AUINSC on August 8, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Oh, and Jeffrey Wells..what was the last blockbuster that tool starred in? Or Produced? Or had anything to do with? Yeah…he’s a professional ‘critic and Obama supporter’. I hope he can do the Obama salute correctly at the next rehersal…
AUINSC on August 8, 2008 at 9:36 PM
I refuse to see or spend one penny on any anti-American, anti-Iraq war, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Gwenyth Paltrow, Jane Fonda, Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin film or TV appearance, so I’m not throwing stones from my glass house at some liberal “blacklister”. I have my own, thank-you very much.
Marcus on August 8, 2008 at 9:36 PM
So Breitbart is making his own version of Huffington Post?
I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
We’ll see.

But I don’t wanna be a cowboy!
lorien1973 on August 8, 2008 at 9:42 PM
Aww, Hollyweirdos are upset that Voight offended their wittle Obama. Celebrities are constantly shilling for Obama, but Voight criticizes him and he’s attacked. Tolerance for international dictators, but not for conservatives.
That being said, there’s an interesting list of known righty celebs: Adam Sandler, Kelsey Grammar, Dan Whitney, Kevin Farley, Dennis Hopper, James Woods, Angie Harmon, Gary Sinise, Christopher McDonald, Melissa Gilbert, Harry Sloan (MGM Chair), Jerry Bruckheimer, Kirk Kerkorian, Lorne Michaels, Rip Torn, Dick Van Patten, Robert Duvall, Tom Selleck, Sarah Michelle Gellar…

Liberal responce,” DISEASED WINGNUT”
I might be wrong,but there’s a lot of bitterness
coming from the Liberals on Voights assessment of

And,it really must piss off the Leftys,John Voight
isn’t your Liberal labeled;
Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Kabal

and John isn’t your extreme right wing bible* thumper
or a right wing Christian* zealot!

I’m gonna have to finally see Voight in September Dawn this week.
jgapinoy on August 8, 2008 at 9:57 PM
September Dawn = POS.
God has cursed him for that and thats why his movie career sucks now.
Roger Waters on August 8, 2008 at 10:02 PM
I can not wait to see David Zucker’s film. It looks to be hilarious.
I am tired of these Hollywood Mercedes Marxists. I want some republicans out there and to not be ashamed of their beliefs.
What is so wrong about loving this country and being proud of it for these stupid liberals?
jencab on August 8, 2008 at 10:05 PM
They are in good company with some of the greats, the real movie stars of the 50s and 60s.
That’s what I think of as movie stars anyway, today they just aren’t the same.
People like John Wayne, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Stewart, Charlton Heston…
Plus, all the stars who say they are libertarian are really just conservatives afraid to actually say it (except Bill Maher).
There are still a ton of right-leaning stars, I don’t understand why they have to “go underground”. IS the SAG, the producers, other unions? Who knows?
Clint Eastwood, Arnold, Drew Carey, Bruce Willis, Ron Silver, James Earl Jones!, John Malkovich, Jimmy Walker… it’s just fun to list them.
Oh and can’t forget Chuck Norris.
reaganaut on August 8, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Don’t forget Clint Eastwood (libertarian but very conservative), Heather Locklear, Robert Davi, Kurt Russell(also libertarian but, again, very conservative), Bo Derek, Cindy Williams, Janine Turner, The Rock, Anne Wedgeworth, Paul Sorvino, BenStein, Hal Holbrook, Rick Schoeder, Joe Pesci, Patricia Heaton, Ernest Borgnine, Bruce Boxleitner, Delta Burke, Gerald McRaney, Drew Carey (libertarian), Dixie Carter, and my favorite, Gary Oldman. And many more, I am sure.

Bleh mistyped:
Is it the SAG, the producers, other unions who are causing problems? Who knows?
reaganaut on August 8, 2008 at 10:09 PM
I love Jon Voight – always have! I believe the problems between him and his daughter, Anjolina may have been political – she is so left wing as is Brad that Jon just can’t stomach the bilge they believe. I know I would have a problem if she were my daughter. I know Anjolina would definitately have a problem with her pops, knowing that he was a conservative and that is probably why she has nothing to do with him. Her loss.
Neocon Peg on August 8, 2008 at 10:11 PM
So headline-only readers are supposed to get the impression that Voight is a lib who should be boycotted?

carbon_footprint on August 8, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Brad and Angelina show glimpses of hope. They are very active with rebuilding NOLA and are firm believers in the 2nd amendment. Just a matter of time and they will see the light.
carbon_footprint on August 8, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Ya know, if they go ahead with this (blacklist), and it’s brought out in the open, it would backfire.
Might be a good thing in the long run.
It always baffles me how movie studios, news studios, & newspapers continually push their anti-American, liberal BS agenda even while losing tons of money.
It’s obvious that they are playing to a small segment of the population, that most Americans don’t stand for this BS.
At some point the people writing the checks will wake up and say, “Enough of this crap.”
I don’t think it will last too much longer. The “new media” will eventually force them to change or go bankrupt. It’s already started.
reaganaut on August 8, 2008 at 10:17 PM

disorderexcuse for lib-tards; I was suffering from blog-fatigue and that’s why I wrote that piece calling for the destruction of Israel, Bush’s assassination and for ten-dollar-a-gallon gas prices… I need help that’s all.Claypigeon on August 8, 2008 at 10:19 PM
When I lived in Santa Monica, California, I learned the hard way just how vicious and destructive the local liberals (which would include many West LA green enviro actor types) were by foolishly putting a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker on my car. Within a week it was keyed twice and splattered with a milk shake. Kerry/Edwards stickers seemed to fare much better. I have absolutely no doubt at all that there will be movie industry “consequences” for Voight’s expressing his conservaive views. Hopefully he is set financially and sanguine about retirement.

Angelina has also publicly supported staying in Iraq and finishing the job.
baldilocks on August 8, 2008 at 10:26 PM
I wonder if, one day, Hollywood will regret its political activism ? Only the box-office receipts will tell for sure.
There are some actors, whose work I have enjoyed in the past, that I just don’t care to see anymore. This is due to political or social stands they have taken over the years. I try to separate the actor’s talents from their personal views but, I am finding that harder and harder to do these days.
c3ichief on August 8, 2008 at 10:27 PM
Yes! I forgot that.
carbon_footprint on August 8, 2008 at 10:28 PM
It’s amazing that a movie as awesomely bad as Anaconda didn’t kill Voight’s career, but this might.
If only Uwe Boll would speak out in favor of supply-side economics… we might be spared any more of his garbage “films”.
fiatboomer on August 8, 2008 at 10:30 PM
The fact is, the blacklist has been in place for some time now. Michael Moriarty, who I left off the list, wrote an article about it years ago. He left Law & Order when Janet Reno tried to get the show off the air because of the violence, and he threatened to sue her. He exiled himself to Canada, I believe. Jon Voigt truly is a brave man. I have always loved his work, but now I have the greatest admiration for him. Only a very select few in Hollywood have openly made their conservative political leanings known, that is modern Hollywood.
Glynn on August 8, 2008 at 10:35 PM
I’m going to go see this 15 times the first weekend. I don’t care how bad it is.

eigafan on August 8, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Uh . . . Dennis Hopper is a known Hollywood conservative?
If that isn’t a typo, that proves that there is hope out there for absolutely anyone.
Ken McCracken on August 8, 2008 at 10:41 PM
Lots of hope. He has voted conservative since Reagan. He and I made the transition about the same time and we are about the same age. Some of us boomers finally woke up.
Glynn on August 8, 2008 at 10:48 PM
Their problems go way back. Voight reportedly cheated on Angelina’s mom and after their divorce, he frequently missed his child support payments (he still owed his ex hundreds of thousands of dollars when she died recently). Angelina’s mom often had a tough time making ends meet. After Angelina was grown, she went through an extended period in which she was engaging in provocative behavior that Voight disapproved of. She had a lesbian affair, and spoke of her wish that she could marry the woman. At an awards show, she and her brother (also Voight’s kid) shared a rather long and passionate kiss on the mouth. Voight wrote Angelina a letter expressing his concern about her behavior, and apparently criticized Angelina in ways that she found hurtful. That was when she cut off relations with him.
AZCoyote on August 8, 2008 at 10:55 PM
Ah, poor mom, the victim. Seems she was a celebrity in her own right. She obviously loved playing the victim. Thanks for the history lesson. Still his conservative values vs. her liberal nonvalues. I can see where all that came about. Thanks AZ!

Dear Hollywood:
Due to your industry’s recent rise in political activism and just crappy movies, I and my family have taken the following actions:
1. We have dumped our satellite television. I must admit it has been tough but, I do not have to sit there and hear barely-educated Starlets give opinions on thing they know nothing about.
2. I’ve started to read the classics again in their original form. The writers of these classic books were not PC types who tried to make you feel good about yourself. I’m pretty sure that once your industry ‘re-discovers’ these great stories, they will be so PC that no one will regognize them any more.
3. We are waiting for the day when actors will be replaced by computer generated actors. The studios will love this. Don’t think it will happen? Don’t bet on it. Technology will end the days of studios having to put up with pretentious actors. Everything in the entertainment world has changed as a result of technology and don’t think for a moment that you cannot be replaced. Animated characters are to actors as, robots are to assembly line workers.
4. Until that day comes, we’ve got a kick-ass subscription to Net Flicks and we are not afraid to use it !!!
Signed,
Reformed TV/Movie Addict
c3ichief on August 8, 2008 at 11:32 PM
Did I hear her right when she closed by saying that Voight talked about something “huge” coming out from Hollywood in the next few weeks? Perhaps a large group of Hollywood conservatives have formed an action committee and are coming out of the closet??
Think the “mission” has been “formalized”?
Coming soon and rated “R” for political righteousness: “The Hollywood Revolution!”
Rod on August 8, 2008 at 11:33 PM
Check out this snarky comment from Defamer in regards to s Jeffrey Wells’ appearance on The O’Reilly Factor…
And based on one of the comments left therein, watch how quickly the “Voight sexually abused Angelina” rumors begin to swirl again thru Hollywood.
What I’d like to know is why the hell are these people are so afraid of a mere handful of outspoken conservatives?
Obviously, the horrible failure of all those craptastic anti-war films versus the extraordinary success of Iron Man and Dark Knight has really gotten them worried.
The Ugly American on August 8, 2008 at 11:37 PM
It’s just you.
Rod on August 8, 2008 at 11:38 PM
I think that Hollywood’s Right has been emboldened by the spectacular floppage of the recent anti-war/anti-military fare that their Leftist cohorts have been putting out recently.
baldilocks on August 8, 2008 at 11:40 PM
I can’t even watch network shows anymore. At first it was interesting to see how hard they worked to take a shot at the administration but the novelty wore off.
I read recently the Robert Downey, Jr. says that he is a conservative but just doesn’t say it. I can’t remember the exact quote but it was something about the inability of going from a $1000 a night hotel to jail and kept the liberal view point. He’s so hot right now that he can probably get away with saying it.
Cindy Munford on August 8, 2008 at 11:44 PM
This is the closest I’ve seen to what Liberals perceive McCarthyism to have been.
AlexB on August 8, 2008 at 11:46 PM
Yup.
I tried, I really did. I see some vague hairline similarities, but the color’s not even close. Voight isn’t nearly jowly enough. And there’s no 5 O’clock shadow to speak of.
sulla on August 8, 2008 at 11:49 PM
Jon Voight as Oscar “Manny” Mannheim in “Runaway Train” (features NSFW R-Rated dialogue)
Judging by Roland Emmerich’s “far from conservative” bad taste, he would never be cast in one his films.
eigafan on August 8, 2008 at 11:49 PM
BTW, if there are any “Friends of Abe” reading these comments, this conservative producer would give her right arm to attend one of your luncheons.
The Liberty Film Festival is about the only place I know of where large groups of Hollywood conservatives can meet together and openly discuss our moral and political views.
The Ugly American on August 9, 2008 at 12:01 AM
Good for Voight and kudos to Breitbart. I know there are those in Hollywood who would love to stand up and say “Obama doesn’t speak for me.” About 6 years ago when I still had a blog (pre-blog days), I located a Hollywood Republican group and linked to them on my site. They were pretty secretive. There was very little info posted on site. I think that some are finally getting angry and that’s a good thing. C’mon Hollywood righties, come out of the closet.
Connie on August 9, 2008 at 12:09 AM
I have no doubt Mr Voight could care less what Wells has to say about him. He is a good man and pretty spot on about Barry.
Very nice show of class there Hollywood reporter, thought for a sec CNN was comedy central.

Anybody have Jeffrey Wells email address? I tried to google it but only found mega-dirt on him–no address. A scumbag is as a scumbag does.
Long live Jon Voight while the Old Media and lefty Hollyweird die a slow death that no one mourns. And may Breitbart (and his children) be fruitful and multiply!
Christine on August 9, 2008 at 12:55 AM
Dude, that was Ned Beatty.
fiatboomer on August 9, 2008 at 1:12 AM
I look forward to seeing the film when it’s released.
How much you wanna bet there will be little to no advertising of it’s release.
David Zucker is a good director and I like his work.
If we look at all the anti-war, anti-Bush films that were released, none were successful. Like Bela Pelosi’s book, no one came to see.
Hollywood cannot bleed money making piss-poor leftist socialist leaning films and expect to survive as a business. Investors will not continue to throw money as a loosing political philosophy, liberal or not, money talks.
George Loony and his leftist slut buddies, Vanessa Redgrave, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Woody Harrelson, Jessica Lange, John Cusack or Danny Glover, and Danny Devito are all a bunch of kooks that when their movies are released I don’t even give the box office a second glance. Even when browsing the video store rentals, seeing their names on the DVD’s list of actors leaves me putting the box back on the shelf and walking away looking for another film.
Bottom line for Hollywood, I want to entertained, not lectured. I want to be inspired, not indoctrinated. If Hollywood cannot do that, then there’s AM radio and talk.
Kini on August 9, 2008 at 1:12 AM
Nah, Ned got the Brokeback Mountain treatment. Voight was the guy held to a tree waiting for the hillbilly to get a little “Monica” action. Then Burt Reynolds came along and shot that hillbilly dead with an arrow.
No Zombietime for that hillbilly.

As I was thinking about the former lefties that are now conservatives, it got me wondering, how many conservatives have crossed over?
Is Drudge the only one? (or was he ever REALLY conservative in the first place?)
JarvisW on August 9, 2008 at 1:53 AM
Pat Boone is a conservative columnist. He wrote a piece called “Why Hollywood is Leftist” in 2005. I’d highly recommend it. Here is a brief excerpt:
Dr. Charles G. Waugh on August 9, 2008 at 2:23 AM
http://www.variety.com/blog/130000613/post/1680030968.html
Peter Bart is the editor in chief of Variety and the co-host of long-running AMC talk show Shootout.
“If stars are wary about backing Obama, Jon Voight has showed no such inhibition in his support for McCain. Writing an op-ed piece in the Washington Times, Voight warned that an Obama win would trigger “a socialist era” in America.
Voight reminded readers that he had endured the sixties in this country when, he recalled, “The radicals undermined our Vietnam initiative” and “were successful in giving the communists power.” Voight predicted that others in Hollywood would soon rally on McCain’s behalf.
Personally, I appreciate Voight’s fervor, but worry about his intellectual equipment. I remember that moment in the early ‘70s when Paramount offered Voight the lead role in “Love Story,” opposite Ali McGraw. Voight had just achieved stardom thanks to “Midnight Cowboy” and suddenly had his choice of roles.
As a young production executive at the studio, I was trying to push “Love Story” forward and joined colleagues in trying to interest Voight in the part. However the more we prodded, the more reluctant he became.
He finally blurted: “The character in this movie is a Harvard student. He’s bright. He reads books. I could never be believable as that smart young guy.”
Reading Voight’s op-ed piece these many years later, I realize how right he was.”
The editor in chief of the film industry’s most influential, powerful news source took the time and effort to trash an actor for his conservative political views. That is not inconsequential. A crystal clear signal has been sent to conservatives.
Django on August 9, 2008 at 2:25 AM
Sure. He describes himself as a pro-life conservative and was on the frontlines of fighting John Kerry. As to why he’s in love with Barry is beyond me. Perhaps it’s his attempt to cater to international traffic.
ampundit on August 9, 2008 at 2:39 AM
Drudge never sounded like a conservative to me.
Johan Klaus on August 9, 2008 at 2:47 AM
Yeah.
I just remembered, Huffingpaint herself! But thats all I got.
JarvisW on August 9, 2008 at 3:09 AM
I am hoping his movie does extremely well at the box office so we can see what is more important in Hollywood.
Liberal ideals, or the mighty dollar.

Add Lee Majors to the list of Hollywood conservatives.
backwoods conservative on August 9, 2008 at 7:23 AM
I think a lot of the actors just say all this lefty crap because they think they have to. They are more concerned about their careers than anything else. It is like another version of the infamous casting couch.
Voight probably has enough money and is old enough that he just does not give a damn anymore.
Terrye on August 9, 2008 at 7:42 AM
I enjoyed reading the article and the posts here that list known conservatives… most I knew, some surprised me. But, I’m not sure I would list Melissa Gilbert as one, not after a particular episode of Nip/Tuck she did that Newsbusters did a post on… *vomit*.

Django:
The interesting thing about liberals like that is that the fact that George Bush has an Ivy League education and reads books himself, does not seem to make a difference. Not like Sharon Stone yammering on about how American troops have killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. Now that {it seems} is one smart broad. Gag.

Not true.
“ANGELINA JOLIE: Actually, [Clint Eastwood and I] don’t disagree as much as you’d think. I think people assume I’m a Democrat. But I’m registered independent and I’m still undecided. So I’m looking at McCain as well as Obama.”
Besides, they’re planning to film Atlas Shrugged. You can’t get much less left-wing than that. (And as people have said above, she supports staying in Iraq until it’s fixed, and she’s visited the troops over there at least twice.)
