What Is Jon Voight's Game?

After the umpires robbed the Dodgers last night, I miss-flipped my remote to the Fox channel and heard this:

A letter to the American people

"In one year the American people are witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his 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 they are entitled to take from the wealthier who have lived and worked in a democracy which understands that capitalism is the only truth that keeps a nation healthy and fed.

Now, the lie goes very deep, and President Obama has been cleverly trained in the Alinsky method and it is very important that every American knows what that is. It is a Socialist/Marxist teaching and with it, little-by-little, he rapes this nation, taking down our defenses and making new language for Islamic extremists. The world who looked up to us as a symbol of hope and prosperity now wonders what will become of the entire world if American is losing its power. The American people who understand exactly what is taking place have come together in the thousands, vowing to try to stay together as a unit of love and freedom for all men and women from all walks of life, shivering to think that this once great nation will be a third world company.

This will be the first President to ever weaken the United States of America. President Obama uses his aggression and arrogance for his own agenda against the will of the American people, when he should be using his will and aggression against our enemies. Every loving American for peace and truth and the security of our nation must come out and join the Tea Parties in their states. The opposition will continue their tactics, they will lie and plant their own bullies amongst us. Everyone must pay close attention to who stands next to them. We can weed out the liars and agitators. Let us all stay in God's light. Let no man put asunder. We can and we will prevail. God bless us all."

-Jon Voight
The redfaced text represents Midnight Cowboy's actual word, before he corrected his Freudian slip.

This washed-up actor is clearly looking for another script. Since no one is writing for him, he's trying his best to write his own. The question is, what would be an appropriate title for his next original screen play?

  1. "Sedition" Look for Sedition coming to a theater near you.

  2. I don't think this letter is addressed to the American people. This frenzied rant is addressed to Sean Hannity's Tim McVeigh wannabes.

  3. Vig,
    This post offers me the opportunity to ask a question of you and your readers: By posting the words of the Rabid Right Wingnuts, are we just providing assistance in spreading their venomous distortions and outright lies?

  4. Emily: I think it would be worse to shut them out. It's the old "know thine enemy" thing. As long as we always counter with how stupid they are - which should be apparent to everyone anyway - I don't think we'll have a problem. And they need to know we're on to them.

  5. Emily,

    I was shocked last night when I heard this batshit-crazy actor presuming to address the American people [thx LTE, for clarifying that] and presuming to call out the President of the United States as a Marxist, I could hardly get to sleep. And then, when I looked this morning, the only Internet comment on this mother of all creeps, was on the Reichwing blogs. I am assured I'm not doing any harm by airing out this toxic message for what it is.

    Boris is right. Voight's movie should be entitled "Sedition". Either that, or Son of Tim McVeigh.

  6. Time for a remake of Deliverance only Burt ain't there to save him from the pair of teabaggers.

    There's plenty to call the administration out on, but dumbfucks on the Right continue to make up crazy crap like this. There's a major difference between partisanship and paranoid lying insanity. What makes it worse is Clusterfox's audience of zombie morons who are not repulsed by the sheer idiocy of Voight.

  7. He wasn't very good in the movie "Anaconda" either.

  8. ...take from the wealthier who have lived and worked in a democracy which understands that capitalism is the only truth that keeps a nation healthy and fed.

    That one especially had my eyes rolling. It always come back to fear that some undeserving group, usually hinted that they have darker skins, will come and take their yachts and rape their daughters.

  9. Shorter Jon Voight: "I'm rich and I don't want to share. The president is a black man who learned from the writings of Jewish radicals, and may the Big Imaginary Guy in Sky protect us from what the president would really like to do. And protect my property."

    Really, this is the sort of paranoid lunatic crap you'd expect from Idaho survivalist groups. voight's fading film fame is the only reason anyone pays this deranged twit any attention.

  10. Stimpson,
    Us deranged twits resent your implication.

  11. This is just another example of a person going from one extreme to another. Arianna Huffington did it. That douchebag from the Black Panthers did it. Jerry Rubin did it. And now Mr. Voight (who I thought was great in "Desert Bloom", btw) is doing it. People are just too damned afraid to think for themselves these days. It's pathetic.

  12. Jon Voight is a nut job, but then again you have probably gathered that. His only real accomplishment as an actor was in Midnight Cowboy. Until recently his own daughter, Angelina Jolie, hated him.

  13. I agree with the nut-job part, Mike. I do think, however, that "Deliverance", "Coming Home", "Runaway Train, "Desert Bloom", and "Ali" were all very excellent performances.

  14. Jon Voights response to me on twitter for asking him to sign the antisocialist pledge was "go shove a weenee up your butt efftard. now kindly fuck off."

  15. I don't pay much attention to a man who raped his own daughter for years.
