Jon Voight slams Obama's "socialist seeds" & "angry militant black upbringing"
Fucking clueless piece of shit.

Jon Voight's Obama Op-Ed: "He Falls Short In Every Way"

Huffington Post | Adam Rose | July 29, 2008 08:58 AM



Jon Voight accused Barack Obama of "sowing socialist seeds in young people" for an op-ed published in the Washington Times on Monday.

Writing on behalf of "we, as parents," Voight blamed the Democrats for waging a propaganda campaign against America's youth and insisted Obama is weak on terror.

Here are some excerpts:

On Obama's ties to "militant white and black people":

Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.

On Obama's God-like stature:

The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.

On 1960s "hysteria":

The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. 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 people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.

On Obama's homeland security credentials:

There's not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb.

Voight closes by warning Obama plans to usher in a "socialist era":

This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, 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 in every way.

15. The "we, as parents" qualifier made me throw up a little...
...because if Voight is identifying himself as a parent who SUCKS, I'm 100% on board. Anything else, not so much.

31. Yep. And I'd listen to Dustin. I bet A.J. would rather have Dustin
over for dinner than her own loony father. She had better hide the kids if he shows up unannounced.

28. OMG they've brainwashed "CONRACK"!
I totally loved Conrack as a Billy Jack quoting teenager.

"One beautiful man. His story is true.

A young, white teacher is assigned to an isolated island off the coast of South Carolina populated mostly by poor black families"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071358/maindetails

"Conroy was fired at the conclusion of his first year of teaching on the island for his unconventional teaching practices, including his refusal to use corporal punishment on students, and for his lack of respect for the school's administration.

Conroy wrote his book The Water Is Wide based on his experiences as a teacher. The book won Conroy a humanitarian award from the National Education Association and was made into a feature film, Conrack, starring Jon Voight in 1974. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Conroy

Deliverance totally rocked back in the day too.

I hope I don't grow up to be such a putz as current Voigt.

34. Don't I wish Obama was sowing socialist seeds
Quite the opposite. Obama's running as "right" as he can. Anything to win, you know. That's all that matters. Though I have given him the benefit until/if he wins, then I will slam every sell out he comes up with. Basically Obama is actually going to be the first black president and that means a lot to me even if he throws us all under the bus.

He's probably no worse than Bill Clinton. Certainly better than his wife. (AH yes, haven't posted in weeks but Hillary is always worth a hit, non?)

Oh and I always thought that AT LEAST Ms. Jolie Pitt was progressive. Says she's not a Democrat, but independent. Vanity Fair article. NOT SURE between Obama and McCain?? Are you shitting me? That's what she said.

She's hot but not as bright as I thought. Apparently apple and tree thing does still apply.

And the killing fields.
