Video: Jon Voight goes thermonuclear on “false prophet” Obama
posted at 4:32 pm on June 9, 2009 by Allahpundit
Alternate title: “Jon Voight begs to never work in Hollywood again.” He’s no Daniel Hannan but he ain’t bad: Ten full minutes of rhetorical roundhouses here, from Obama’s fraudulent posturing as a “pragmatist” during the campaign to the perils of his Israel policy to the “oppression” of his economic blueprint to the pure polemic of referring to him as a “soft-spoken Julius Caesar.” He’s unfair when he describes our new foreign policy as getting together with enemies in a little playground — The One did, after all, double down against the Taliban in Afghanistan — but if this new Rasmussen poll is accurate, Captain Diplomacy’s willingness to meet rogue regimes “without preconditions” is already wearing thin with a huge majority of the public. Smart power or soft power?
If you need an extra incentive to watch to the very end, the boss gets a shout out. Exit question: Voight in 2012?

Personally I find it amusing the sort of double standards conservatives apply to celebrities, i.e. the fact that you only want to hear the opinions of Hollywood actors if they match YOUR opinions. George Clooney spent years referring to Bush as a tyrant, dictator, blah blah blah. All conservatives did was screech, then. Now? Not so much.
I also find it amusing that conservatives are taking their cues from an actor who took part in a deliberately staged cinematic attempt to portray Mormonism as a bloodthirsty-cult just several years back, in what was an obvious ploy to sink Mitt Romney’s support among mainstream Christians.

Well, that took some courage, being in showbiz and all. We tried the actor/candidate (Fred)…didn’t work out so well.
scalleywag on June 9, 2009 at 5:25 PM
Sinise, Voight, Frank Miller, Duvall, Eastwood, Fred! Thompson…there are some really great stars in Hollywood that are conservative/libertarian.
I hate to give weight to anything a Hollywood actor/artist says, because it then legitimatizes the left-leaning brand of same said artists, but Voight had a great speech. Too bad the majority of the attendants (was Palin there?) seemed more of a RINO brand, because I didn’t think the reaction met the quality of the speech.

Yes and no about the fair point…most lefty celebs I’ve seen criticized by the right so far have been intensely ad-homenim in their attacks…most spouted Hitler comparisons when talking about Bush and ordinary conservative Americans…called them racist, murderers, etc. Really over the top stuff that has been accepted as mainstream now…Voight looks positively statesman by comparison.

He’s just a known anti-Mormon propagandist and I don’t like the man. You are free to like him all you want but I don’t and I don’t care to hear what he has to say. There are lines that some have crossed and Voight is one who has crossed that line.
When someone attacks me and mine I tend to see them as monsters from then forward.

In an industry riddled with ignorant, pink panty wearing libs it becomes almost surreal to listen to this. For a Hollywood celebrity to take the positions he takes and voice them at such a large venue in the age of youtube some serious self sacrafice is required. 9 out of 10 times his name is mentioned in the media from here on out it will be in the form of ridicule. He can certainly kiss that lifetime achievement award goodbye and say farewell to any future Oscars. This is a man who certainly doesn’t give a crap what the hell anybody thinks about him. It takes no guts for liberals to blather about political opinions because they’re speaking to an echo chamber. Liberal opinions are celebrated in their world whereas Conservatives are vilified. Jon Voight has some serious cahones to say the things he says in this speech.

Yep…it would. It’s just that the CA GOP seems so impotent (and has been for years). Not saying it’s easy, just saying they’re ineffective.
Those recent propositions were defeated without much “anti-proposition” advertising. I think the voters just said “enough!” Makes you wonder what would happen if the CA GOP had more money and was effective.

I don’t like Obama’s politics. But I can believe I can still be free to live my religion under his government. If people like Voight get power that will end freedom of religion. So there are some Republicans who I will never support and take my chances with the Democrats.

I think attacking Obamanomics or Obama’s Statonomics is much more effective than attacking his foreign policy, though Voight is right about Israel. They do have the right to defend themselves, even from a demigod/demagogue like Obama, and when they do you can be sure the press will call them a racist nation that should’ve learned from the Holocaust. Still, it’s impossible to make a dove a hawk. Focus on the failure of statist economics, imo.
Soonerliberty on June 9, 2009 at 5:40 PM
If Voight had been nasty or potty-mouthed it would really weaken his overall message. (Can Garofalo or even Maher deliver their opinions with thought, clarity and composure? No.)
Even Dick Cavett, whom I generally love, wrote a nasty piece on Sarah Palin. It made him look worse; I lost a little respect. Not because he took a critical look at Palin. It was just so elite-bitchy-New Yorky. Over the top catty. Like lunch with the girls.

Your calling of Voight a monster doesn’t bother me that is subjective (though it is telling of your capacity for judgement)but can you give some facts to back up your Voight worse than Obamma comment?

Czarina on June 9, 2009 at 5:41 PM
…as in he’s been bashing Mormonism, or has he merely been criticizing what the Church actually does?
Considering your rather passionate outburst, I’m inclined to think the latter.
MadisonConservative on June 9, 2009 at 5:43 PM
Yes, I agree with you on that. Every election cycle, I anticipate some position, noticable presence, it never appears or appears too late to make much to any public impact. If the Democrats manage to get Villaraigosa into the CA Governor’s office, I mean, I just can’t imagine the horrors that would result that would be even worse than present conditions. The one thing the Democrats cannot do is cut spending, not on things that assist the DNC; they only cut services that affect citizens, as long as the “voting Democrat” “base” is not touched (all those incentives remain in place along with huge state employees — more incentives that fund the DNC — and burgeoning benefits deals, none of that is ever modified, yet citizens’ get shafted)(and a Demo Gov. will only accelerate this graft process by the Demos as to CA).

So he’s in a movie based on an actual historical event, and Mormons are upset about it?
…and that makes him worse than Obama?
Good grief, I usually dismiss the negative attitude some people take towards Mormonism. However, I used to dismiss the same attitude when directed towards Scientology. I now embrace said attitude against the latter, and the former certainly seems easily bruised.

Yes the film and his horrible talk show appearances promoting it. He knew his film was a pack of lies yet there he was. With all modern evidence they choose to repeat long debunked “facts”. It is just disgusting. It is no wonder his family hates him.
And such coincidental timing with Romney running for President and all. Total coincidence I’m sure.
Now that I’ve vented…. I’m sorry you guys go ahead and listen to him. I just don’t like him and would never trust him. I’ve had a bad day over all and shouldn’t have started this.

We all need to play a part in making it ‘cool’ to cherish our founding documents regardless of who the president is. Speak openly about individual liberty, and American values. Spread the word: We the people run this country, and the pols work for us!
Reward brave public figures who champion American values; and reject anti-American snobs who spew propaganda.
We need to mobilize on the ground to fight fire with (legal) fire.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mr.Voight! You delivered a great speech from start to finish. You rightly refer to Obama and his comrades as “ilk” and you rightly point out Obama`s shameful stance toward Israel and Obama`s exceedingly shameful stance of weakness regarding Iranian nuclear ambitions. Moreover, you gave a wonderful shout out to the warriors of the right. Personally, I would like to add Jonah Goldberg and Mark Steyn to your list of honor, and I am sure you would agree, Mr.Voight. You have given us a taste of deliverance from the illiberal policies of Obama.And I could go on praising you for many more pages, but, as you have so adroitly pointed out, Obama`s sins are so many and so I will conclude here.

You are right it is a terrible terrible subject! And horribly painful. Extremely touchy subject! Worse than slavery for you! I’m sure it has to be the worse thing in the world to have as a stain. It happened. But Brigham Young and the Church leadership had nothing to do with it! There were 50,000 or more Mormons at the time and a few went crazy. it was horrible! Most of the pioneers didn’t have any idea about it they probably didn’t know anything about it in their lifetimes. If they did hear about it they wouldn’t have believed it was possible.
There is a lot of modern research that tells the truth. But some people don’t want truth they want to slime.

And what does this have to do with a movie Jon made?
AUINSC on June 9, 2009 at 5:57 PM
Wow, that is a huge leap.
Freedom of religion will be stricken from the Constitution? Do you really think that Americans would allow that? There is a large Christian population here (~75%), and one of the foundations of this nation is that people came here specifically to escape from religious persecution. I cannot possibly see how you can take that position about a person without a little evidence that he is advocating this. You might as well take the position that Obama is pro-Islam due to his family and thus will work to strike all other religions from the nation…nonsense.
Conservatives believe in the application of the US Constitution and in its greatness. To think that a conservative would be in favor of persecuting a religion and abolishing it is the same as saying that that person is not a conservative and DEFINITELY does not hold the same views as the vast majority of Americans, let alone conservatives. We protect anti-semitic nazis marching in the streets, don’t you think we’d protect Mormons?
Are you trolling? You sound sincere enough, but this is way off a long pier.

Seekin’ my fame and glory, lookin’ to turn the mullah’s hemorrhoid into a pot of gold.
Well, things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune.
Oh ! lord, stuck in Obama’s Afghanistan again.
Flew in on a big plane, I hope I’ll be in one piece flyin out when I go.
I was just passin’ through, must now be yet another 2 tours or more.
Running out of time and patience, looks like they took more of my friends.
Oh ! lord, Im stuck in Obama’s Afghanistan again.
The Hope and Change man in the White House said yet again I was on my way.
Somewhere I lost his connection, he ran out of words to say.
I came into Kabul, a one year stand, looks like the plans fell through again
Oh ! lord, stuck in Obama’s Afghanistan again.
Mmmm…
If I only had a woman, for evry Obama tour Ive done.
And evry time Ive had to fight while Obama and sat back home power drunk.
You know, Id like to catch the next plane back to where Im from.
Oh ! lord, Im stuck in Obama’s Afghanistan again.

BAM CHANNELS LBJ
DIRT doesn’t matter. You don’t defeat a trans-national terrorist organization by occupying medieval villages.
Yesterday, President Obama presented his “comprehensive new strategy” for Afghanistan and Pakistan. It was neither new, nor a strategy. Behind all the rhetoric, he just said, I’m sending more troops and more money.
Barack Obama? I heard Lyndon Johnson. The only LBJ touch that BHO lacked was the word “escalation.”
The rhetoric was masterly. The content was drivel. He said, “The situation is increasingly perilous.” Which situation? Why? For whom? Certainly, it’s becoming more perilous for our troops as we escalate in support of the wrong policy.
Obama rightly identified the main threat to us as al Qaeda, which he wants to “disrupt, dismantle and defeat.” Then why are his efforts overwhelmingly directed toward the Taliban?
I don’t like the Talibs, but they didn’t attack us on 9/11. Dirt poor, they just made the mistake of renting some fleabag motel rooms to al Qaeda. And they paid heavily for it.
The Taliban strategy is to make Afghanistan ungovernable for us. What if, instead of trying to claim worthless territory in the name of a corruption-poisoned Afghan government, we flipped the rules and just kept Afghanistan ungovernable for the Taliban?
We’d need far fewer troops. And the investment’s return would be higher.
Or how about Obama’s ringing claim that the Taliban have “nothing to offer the Afghan people but terror and oppression?” Many Afghans — at least among the Pashtun plurality — don’t agree.
The tribals deep in those valleys and the Pashtuns in Pakistan feel a lot closer to the Taliban’s values than to ours. They might not mind a new road, but they’ll skip the bikinis and Budweiser, thanks. The Talibs are home-boys. We’re the foreign element. Why is that so hard to grasp?
All of this circles back to the core of the problem — and it’s not Afghanistan. Afghanistan’s not worth a mullah’s hemorrhoid. Putting the bulk of our effort into Afghanistan amounts to attacking a crisis in California by rescuing Nevada. It’s Pakistan that lies (and lies and lies) at the heart of this problem.

petunia on June 9, 2009 at 6:06 PM
Petunia,
Even if John Voight is anti-Mormon, that doesn’t mean that he could ever take away freedom of religion. I strongly doubt that could happen. Even with the strong anti-Christian sentiment that seems prevalent recently, the strongest words are coming from the left, not the right. Your religion is safe, no worries. Lefties in Hollyweird make anti-American movies all of the time, bashing people of strong religious beliefs, gun owners, white males, southerners, you name it. Just because someone spouts off about that doesn’t mean they could get away with abolishing our rights. Relax a little.
Geministorm on June 9, 2009 at 6:06 PM
This coming from the man who left his wife for another woman, forcing her to raise 2 young children alone. He didn’t want to have anything to do with them until they were older (oh, and until Angelina was more famous and rich than him and he needed a boost to his has-been status). No wonder she will have nothing to do with a cretin like him. I’m glad he’s in the GOP — he fits right in (especially with fellow wife-deserter Gingrich).
dcwvu on June 9, 2009 at 6:07 PM
I’ve worked with Mormons and defended Mormons from verbal abuse and name calling.
Until this thread, I was unaware of the Mormon themed film Voight starred in, September Dawn. I have since read about it and can see your concern. However, I did a Google search and can find no references to Jon Voight making anti-Mormon statements other than his participation in and promotion of this film, in which he seemed to take a more anti-religious extremism position.
As to the film itself, I understand that it is not historically accurate and was harshly criticized as being anti-Mormon. However, the Mountain Meadows Massacre on September 11, 1857, is one of, if not the, darkest day in Mormon history. Then again, it was a long time ago and people change and times change. The Massacre doesn’t seem to me to be something that should be hung around all contemporary Mormons’ necks. But, it did happen.
I’m sorry that Voight may be an unacceptable Republican spokesperson for some or even all Mormons, but I need to have more evidence of specific anti-Mormon bigotry on his part before I can agree with such a conclusion. Have I missed something? Are there any specific anti-Mormon statements that can be linked?

This “wearing thin with the huge majority of the public” is only to be welcomed. Apart from any polls, meeting North Korea and Iran without preconditions is plain dumb. Say one hundred people meet to discuss this issue (for or against)and 99 come out in favor of Obama. That leaves one person who is right.
In any event, expect Israel to take unilateral action against Iranian nuclear facilities in the very near future. Israel is justified and has the power.

AUINSC on June 9, 2009 at 6:11 PM
I can see how those on the left who post here would see a double standard regarding how we treat actors and other celebrities on the left and on the right, but I think that a lot of it is that Hollywood is so overwhelmingly liberal that when someone like Mr. Voight and Mr. Sinise come along we find it something to acknowledge. I think that if Hollywood was more reflective of the country and those who represented the industry were basically 50/50 liberal/conservative that it wouldn’t be as big of a deal. But it is interesting that those on the right in Hollywood do seem to have more class than those on the left.
Rose on June 9, 2009 at 6:12 PM
No offense meant, but I was referring more to the “…end of freedom of religion” and “worse than Obama” comments. I’m of the mind that someone can be anti-Geministorm, and I can dislike them but that doesn’t mean they are worse for their beliefs than the current president that is doing so much harm to this nation on so many levels. And, just because that anti-Geministorm loony-toon gets some power won’t mean I lost my rights, America is still the land of the free after all.

So it’s fine for these two “men” to have done those things because a liberal somewhere did something bad as well? GOP moral equivalency at its best…

I wonder who else in Hollywood might be thinking the same thing.
Craig T Nelson from “Coach” was on Glenn Beck saying “I think it’s ridiculous that we’re all now owning a car company” Please…pretty please more celebrities grow a pair and come out of the closet.
We’ll support your movies I promise.
I liked Voight in the last Transformers movie. What shocked me about Transformers besides that it was a pleasant surprise was that the U.S. Troops were the GOOD GUYS instead of a bunch of psycho killers like in other movies.
Seriously Hollywood you’re missing 50% of a potential audience.

We expect better trolling on this site . . . that’s just weak.

You know when an arrow finds it’s mark by how quickly the Lefty trolls come of the woodwork.

Now that was a speech. Kickass, no punches pulled, spoken with resolve, class, and true character. I’ll betcha Rahm Emmanuel is seething with more of his gangsta-style rage. Good thing he stays hidden behind closed doors for the most part, lest we see the horns beginning to protrude from his skull.

Ah, yes I forgot. HA definition of “trolling” — a comment or viewpoint not otherwise found in the GOP talking points guide.

And there’s really no call to put Angelina up on a pedestal any higher than her daddy; she broke up a marriage too, ya know. I don’t care if you like either of them but she is cut from the same cloth.

So the fact that someone did something morally wrong at some point in their life forever disqualifies them from politics? Leftist moral incoherence at its best…
Try again, hypocrite.

Seems to work wonders for side for decades so don’t blame me for wanting in on the action. Last time I checked rape was a bit further down the scale than leaving your wife.
Also do you REALLY want to go down hypcrisy road, child? Do I need to go down the list of your sides laughable two-faced positions on wealth, taxes, homelessness, environment, science, charity, honesty, etc…? I would love to play that fucking game.

You get that rejoinder off of Journolist? Catchy.

Nice speech………..
……… to bad half of the room was filled with RINO’s and were sneering at him for telling the truth.

Tough talk for a party that came close to electing a guy who everyday looked mournfully at the cameras over his terminally ill dying wife.. Just before heading out to the motel to shtoop his WELL PAID liberal wacko lover who bore him a lovechild yet!
If I am not mistaken, the American Democrats almost brought him to higher office umm.. Twice?
