Voight asks, "Is President Obama creating a civil war?"

Actor Jon Voight is on his way to Cincinnati, and Atlanta, in order to participate in Fox News host Sean Hannity's latest "Freedom Concerts." But first, he paused long enough to share some extra nuttiness with the Washington Times.

"There's a real question at stake now. Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?" Voight said in an interview with the paper.

He continued:

We are witnessing a slow, steady takeover of our true freedoms. We are becoming a socialist nation, and whoever can't see this is probably hoping it isn't true ...

Do not let the Obama administration fool you with all their cunning Alinsky methods. And if you don't know what that method is, I implore you to get the book "Rules for Radicals," by Saul Alinsky. Mr. Obama is very well trained in these methods.

The real truth is that the Obama administration is professional at bullying, as we have witnessed with ACORN at work during the presidential campaign. It seems to me they are sending down their bullies to create fist fights among average American citizens who don't want a government-run health care plan forced upon them. So I ask again: Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country

The nut continues at link. http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2009/08/21/voight/

18. Why are you reacting to the OP as if he/she is condoning this idiocy? The post
makes it clear that the OP thinks it is crazy. At least read through the post before you reply, if you can't go so far as to click on the link.

2. No. People who've lost their own civil war with reality are doing that...
...and seem intent on dragging the rest of us with them.

3. Jon Voight needs to up his meds....
as does that guy who was the father in "Poltergeist".

He was part of a film clip on Jon Stewart the other night. He was complaining about govt
interference. He said. "When I was on Welfare and Food Stamps, no one helped me!!!"

DUH!!!

The look on Stewart's face was priceless.

5. In "Anaconda" (I think), the big snake swallowed Jon Voight, then
regurgitated him. Maybe that's why he's acting like snake vomit.

6. Every Sane Person asks..
..."What makes Salon think I give a shit what Jon Voight thinks?" What a nut job. No wonder Angelina cut him off and changed her last name.

Funny, but that's not the first time I have seen Saul Alinsky's name attached to President Obama. Must be the new wingnut meme du jour.

They know what they're doing, know this is bullshit. But the dim bulbs who believe it . . . it's so hard to understand such mind boggling ignorance, my God. :crazy:

10. Is fuckhead voight trying to start a civil war by disingenuously
asking Pres Obama if he's trying to start one?

I want this idiot to be held accountable for his continuous treatments of brainwashing.

Can't Angie ask him "wtf, father?"

29. And the RWers proved they're just as vapid and shallow as the most caricatured starlet...
...with that "An American Carol" flop.

Hey Jon, who's "abusing free speech" now?

15. This former rent boy needs to go fuck himself.
I think the only good thing he may have donated to the planet was the sperm that created his daughter, but even that is debatable.

16. Joe ought not to have ever left that Texas diner. As career shifts go,
his didn't fare very well.

Voight is talented. I wish he weren't a rightwing tool as well.

22. Is the rich in the USA who declared war on the middle class 30 years ago. Jon Voight doesn't
have a clue what he is talking about. But if the GOP is using him to get ther faxtreemessage out...they are scraping the bottom of the barrel. What happened to using Sarah Palin as the pawn? Is she getting wise to the neocons so she has shut up?

Voigt has been off-kilter for decades. The problem now is..
his dementia serves the propaganda purposes of the far right.

26. Jon Voight has become the asshole that he played on last year's season of "24".
It's no wonder his own daughter despises him.
