Jon Voight

Jon Voight (born 1938) is an American actor who rose to fame with the 1969 film &lt;i&gt;Midnight Cowboy&lt;i/&gt;. He went to star in critically-acclaimed films like &lt;i&gt;Deliverance&lt;/i&gt; (1972), &lt;i&gt;Coming Home&lt;/i&gt; (1978) and &lt;i&gt;Runaway Train&lt;/i&gt; (1985). His next biggest films were &lt;i&gt;Enemy of the State&lt;/i&gt; (1998) and &lt;i&gt;Varsity Blues&lt;/i&gt; (1999). He also starred in &lt;i&gt;Transformers&lt;/i&gt; (2007).

He is the estranged father of actress Angelina Jolie. Relatively quiet in his political opinions for most of his life, the actor showed the world his true colors as a jingoistic, clueless, acrimonious geriatric fool when he wrote a disgraceful article in the &lt;i&gt;The Washington Times&lt;/i&gt; on July 28, 2008 that accused Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama of being a “socialist”. He outrageously claimed that Obama’s election would make America weaker, ignoring the fact that 8 years of Bush-Cheney’s disastrous agenda of greed, incompetence and imperialism had already brought America to the point of near-bankruptcy. It is not surprising that Voight would willfully ignore Bush’s gross blunders, since he himself had sung high praises of the Bush administration, and bought into the lies that were the basis for the Iraq War. He’s shown that he can let religion poison his judgment, as he had originally supported Rudy Giuliani for president, saying that “God sent an angel, his name was Rudy Giuliani.”

The old prick made news again on June 8, 2009 when he spoke at a GOP congressional fundraiser and called President Obama a “false prophet” and said he was “embarrassed” by him. He referred to the Obama administration as “the oppression” and said Obama would bring about the downfall of the nation. Voight showed himself also to be a total hypocrite, as he had said back in 2007 in an interview with Bill O’Reilly that his heart was “very heavy” when he heard people criticize President Bush. He also said that any criticism of President Bush was “defacing our country”. With each day that passes and with each stupid comment that comes out of his mouth, it is quite clear that the only worthy thing Jon Voight has ever done besides star in a few great films is father Angelina Jolie.
