Haven't seen a transcript of the Voight letter yet, but did find these comments: Jon Voight to Barack Obama: You Feed Poison to Ill-educated and Poor Americans; You Are Raping America! Published April 11, 2010 by: Marc Schenker In what have got to be the most morally clear statements to ever come out of an actor working in the entertainment business, Jon Voight mercilessly told off Barack Obama in a way that was long overdue and extremely consummate. Appearing on Huckabee on Saturday, Jon Voight read a letter to the American people that he had specially prepared for his appearance. Looking intrepidly at the camera and reading confidently, Voight rebuked Obama for feeding poison to America's ill-educated and the poor for the purposes of wealth redistribution. Voight also took Obama to task for being a disciple of the Saul Alinsky method, asserting that Obama is raping America with it. He urged Obama to use the aggression he's using against the American people against America's enemies instead. The actor then closed by giving words of encouragement to the patriots in the Tea Party movement, telling them to persevere and be vigilant. What a tour de force, contained in just three minutes! In possibly the only interview that Mike Huckabee has conducted that's ever been of any use, Jon Voight asked for an allotment of time to read his letter out loud, and Huckabee claimed he himself didn't know what Voight was going to do until he heard the address for himself. To my knowledge, this is one of the only times in recent memory when a prominent public figure has been given airtime for a number of minutes to basically tell a sitting president off in what amounted to a well-deserved rebuke! In just three, short, succinct minutes, Voight communicated perfectly and steadfastly what millions upon millions of Americans have to be thinking about Obama by now, especially when you look at the appalling failure of the economy after Obama's Bailoutpaloozas; the increase in terror attacks and attempts on the homeland in his first year; and the hateful, petty way Obama's administration personally goes after private citizens whom it dislikes or feels threatened by. associatedcontent.com
