Jon Voight vs. President Obama

The actor who called Obama a 'false prophet'

Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin have issues with Democrats, said Lisa Derrick in The Huffington Post, but they're pikers compared to actor Jon Voight. As emcee at a Republican fundraiser, Voight outdid fellow speakers Gingrich and Palin with a "jingoist" rant to "stir up the theocratic nutbags," hitting all "the usual right-wing punching bags: the media, Hollywood, Joe Biden, the stimulus package, congressional Democrats." He even called President Obama a "false prophet." (watch Jon Voight's Obama criticism)

Jon Voight certainly didn't pull any punches, said Ignatius Reilly in Right Pundits, and why should he? He's "one of the few conservatives in Hollywood," so he's one of the few celebrities willing to say that Obama's foreign policy is weakening America. "I wonder how the super liberal Angelina Jolie feels about her father's political views?"
