Jon Voight Slaps Back at Roseanne Barr Over Angelina Jolie, Comments (politics in Hollywood)
The National Ledger ^ | August 20, 2008 | Mary Browning

Posted on 08/20/2008 4:33:09 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Aging comediennes are starting to get annoying. One time star Roseanne Barr has a blog and earlier this week took to the keyboard and punched out lots of insults for Jon Voight, his daughter Angelina Jolie her boyfriend Brad Pitt and lots of other people including all Republicans in general. It was the usual nonsense but as she tossed in Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's names in the mix and insulted them it has spread and is now one of the big stories of the week.

As usual Brad and Angelina seem to want to ignore the scandal but Jon Voight certainly is ready to slap back at Roseanne Barr and her vile commentary. He kept it factual and it was a pretty good response by the actor.

He rips Roseanne for her disgusting display when she butchered the National Anthem in San Diego at a Major League Baseball game, then grabbed her crotch and spat on the ground as she was roundly booed. "Her defaming of our National Anthem in 1990 gave us insight into who she is and what she is capable of saying and doing,” Voight noted in his response.

He also brought up her one time abuse charges and how that was handled. He even added that she was "sick of mind" according to a report from the New York Daily News. He says he will continue to support Republican John McCain. The whole dust up began when Roseanne Barr took to her blog to chastise Angelina Jolie and Voight for their lack of support for Democrat Barack Obama.

Jon Voight is a stand-up guy.

Roseanne Barr is a has-been who is definitely, as Voight says, “sick of mind”.

A lot of Libs suffer from this disease:
— Al Franken
— Rosie O’Donnell
— Michael Moore
— Cindy Sheehan
— Dennis Kuchinich (aka, the UFO elf from Cleveland)
— Marion Barry
— Cynthia McKinney
— Jack Murtha

I could go on and on.....

I don’t believe Jon Voight and his daughter are Republicans or what one would call a conservative but I do know one thing, Jon Voight is a true American who cares deeply about his country. That’s all I need to know to want him on my side.

It looks like Angelina and Brad are learing how to be class acts. Nice to know people can mature. It is too bad that Rosanne hasn’t come to the same level of maturity at her age. But, I can’t rip her too much, she is “sick of mind” and I don’t rip on the mentally ill too much it is tasteless.

I can't believe the Jane Fonda co-star of anti-Vietnam movie "Coming Home" is now speaking out so clearly for America.

I love it.

fwiw, coasttocoastam.com has quite a few advertisements for Tahiti Village, a new resort in Vegas.

The tease is 3 days and 2 night for free.

The latest spokesperson? Roseanne.

A few calls and /or emails might get this 'has been' off the air.

“I could go on and on.....”

You and me both. And I do. All the time trying to convince my so called “liberal” friends and relatives.

I’ve lost friends over this issue, the issue of the survival of Western civiilization vs the Islamofascists, leftists and Muslims that are trying totally destroy America, Israel and the West.

It’s very depressing.

The left is suicidal.

I say throw Rosanne Barr and Rosie O’Blabbermouth into a Texas Steel Cage match, toss in one chocolate donut, and then watch the carnage unfold.

Who would I pull for?

The donut.

Maybe they just think Roseanne is an alien.

I don’t know about his daughter, but Jon Voight was on Fox the other day/night and he claimed to be conservative (and Republican I believe.)

“sick of mind” goes well with “sick of body”, “sick of face”, “sick of (fill in the blanks)”

I doubt it. Since Noory took over for Bell, the whole show has turned into a hate America fest. It sounds like the marketers researched their target audience well.

I suspect that there may be more to Brad Pitt than the Hollywood types realize. He seems fairly modest and intelligent, as least comparatively speaking. Pitt did, after all, say this:

"You shouldn't speak until you know what you're talking about. That's why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? They hand me a script. I'm a grown man who puts on makeup."

I'll bet that Jon Voight sees Pitt as a major improvement over Billy Bob.

She is definitely that. I remember her accusing her poor parents of sexual abuse. I think her sister denied anything like that had happened. She’s a real toon.
