Jon Voight defends Brad Pitt’s mom after she gets death threats for penning anti-Obama letter

LOS ANGELES – You can always count on family.

Last week, Brad Pitt’s mother Jane Pitt hit headlines after penning a response letter-to-the-editor of her local newspaper, Missouri’s Springfield News Leader, in which she advocated support for Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, referring to him as a “a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality.”

“Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney's opponent, Barack Hussein Obama – a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage,” she continued. “I hope all Christians give their vote prayerful consideration because voting is a sacred privilege and a serious responsibility.”

"Good for her"

- John Voight

However, it seems the backlash surrounding Jane’s opinion has become so vehement that she has reportedly been “scared into silence.”

According to WND, Mrs. Pitt has not only been the victim of vulgar and hate-filled attacks, but she has also received death threats which have left her very frightened.

“So apparently Brad Pitt’s mom is a c***,” tweeted one, while another wrote that “Brad Pitt’s genetics have been brought into question.”

Some media outlets too had their way with her words as well, complete with headlines and references stating that she is “homophobic” and “hates Obama and gay people.”

But Mrs. Pitt has at least one high-profile supporter on her daughter-in-law's side of the family: Jolie's dad Jon Voight!

“Good for her,” Voight told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column, adding that he agrees with the points-of-view expressed by Jane.

More left-wing tolerance for all to see.

Are you kidding? She’s a celebrity. That makes her a political, cultural and fashion genius.

Who do you think does hair/makeup/wardrobe for Brad and Angie on their movie sets?

Who do you think decides who gets the plum movie roles in Hollywood?

Exactly!

From what I’ve gleaned from the articles, Brad has a brother who is a businessman.
Hopefully he will come to the aid of his mama

I’m glad Jon Voight is still one of us.
I’m glad he’s a real man.
They’re becoming extinct lately.

I’m trying very hard to recall the death threats made by Republicans toward anyone who smeared George W. Bush, but just can’t seem to come up with a single example.

Can someone here help me out with this?

Anonymous death threats mean very little to CCW holders.

Remember that when considering liberal’s advocacy for gun control.

Message to Brad Pitt: buy your mom a Mossberg 500. Show her gun safety, how to field strip the weapon, and clean it. Take her to the sporting clay range to practice with some #8s. Buy her a case of 00 buck.

Brad, you will feel better about her safety, trust me.

who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality

Um, only when it is expedient; so not really.

Perhaps there are, but then you don’t get to marry the person.

Angelina Jolie is on record as being “agin” Obummer...calls him all smoke and mirrors. She’s smarter that way than Brad Pitt, who adores Obummer, like his goofy sidekick, Geo. Clooney.
