Jon Voight: Obama "Bringing Us To Chaos And Socialism" (VIDEO)

Fresh off making headlines for calling President Obama a "false prophet" at a GOP fundraiser, actor Jon Voight appeared on Bill O'Reilly's show Tuesday night to continue pressing his case against Obama.

After a quick name-checking of Julius Caesar--as in Obama thinks he is a "soft-spoken Julius Caesar"--Voight got down to business, making the case that Obama is "a fellow who's bringing us to chaos and socialism." [scroll down for the transcript.]

O'REILLY: Wow!

Here now, Mr. Voight.

So what -- what is your essential beef, when you just cut down -- it

was a long speech you gave -- with President Obama?

What -- what's the main complaint?

VOIGHT: Well, it is essentially this, Bill, if I had to break it

down. We were warned by Hillary Clinton that he had no experience, that

he had no qualifications. We were warned by his now vice president, Joe

Biden, he had no experience. So he was a novice.

And now we're getting what we could have expected, if we had

listened. We have a fellow who's bringing us to chaos and socialism.

O'REILLY: I don't see any chaos. In Iraq he's pretty much doing

what Bush did. He's keeping the soldiers there. There may be chaos

when we start to withdraw, but right now it's...

VOIGHT: The chaos I'm speaking of is economic chaos.

O'REILLY: OK. But let's stay -- let's stay with foreign policy and

we'll get into...

VOIGHT: OK.

O'REILLY: ...because you made some points about Julius Caesar, wants

to convince the world. Obviously, you feel he's naive and idealistic.

VOIGHT: Well, I feel he's weak.

O'REILLY: You feel he's weak?

VOIGHT: Just exactly why we have this muscle-flexing from Korea.

Nothing's happening. They...

O'REILLY: What would you do, though?

I mean, you know, we've talked this over. It's a very tough

situation in Korea.

VOIGHT: Well, this is -- there must be a response.

O'REILLY: What kind of a response?

VOIGHT: Well...

O'REILLY: See, now we're getting into a really tough area.

VOIGHT: No -- are you -- do I have the experience to say something

that deeply needs to be said?

I have a, you know, a head on my shoulders, and I can think of a few

things. But certainly they should be let to know that there are going

to be consequences.

Wow when faced with the extraordinary task of making Bill O'Reilly seem rational John Voight passed the test! Congrats!

[Bude]

The only way the conservatives can criticize Obama's handling of the economic collapse is to first delude themselves into believing that our circumstances are not dire.

[politicali]

What a creep! And to think I felt sorry for the guy when he was all over the TV crying about Angelina not talking to him. Now I understand why Angelina has officially taken off the Voight off her name and won't speak to this i.diot or let him see her children. Apparently he was a pathetic father and cheating husband, all republican values.

[MalloMel]

I can understand why a mother would want to keep her child away from a hateful person. It is her duty to protect her child. When he reaches adulthood, then it is up to him. In the meantime, I think she is doing the right thing, because it is exactly what I would do.

I alluded to it earlier, but my mother would have had a fit, if I was around someone like that. I see that as a good thing, and why I am a Liberal today. Thank you, mom.

[MsAnn]

As a mom, I would let my children see their grandfather, even if I disagreed with him - which I disagree with my father a lot. I see it as an opportunity to guide and inform my child. It's a growing experience for the both of us.

Jon Voight: "I have a head on my shoulders"

Apparently, for Republicans, this qualifies you as a foreign policy expert. This would explain Liz Cheney's recent prominencs because she too has a head on her shoulders.

[Bude]

I'm not sure his head's on his shoulders.

[redsongia]

His personal life seems to inform his world view. He's always been the type to trade in and trade up when he taxed his personal relationships beyond repair. Guess he figures that's a good model for the country at large.

[ajax2]

Jon Voight is trying to protect is body fluids from socialists who would suck every ounce from his body.

[wltdnfaded]

Mmmmm, I just loves me some bodily fluids...

[AlexNYC]

Jon Voight = The New Charlton Heston

[MalloMel]

All he needs is a gun, and he'll be the spitting image of Heston. I wonder if God allowed Heston into heaven with that gun? Could you imagine Voight and Heston shooting up heaven, because God wanted to take away their right to bare arms?

If there is a good and just God, then I could only imagine how that would work out. I would think that God would protect the good and his angels from maniacs like that. I know I would.

If I was God, I would never just give in to the Devil, because some Conservative demanded it... humph!

If Heaven is run by Conservatives, I really wouldn't want to be there. I wouldn't want to go to hell, either (run by the evilest of Conservatives). I guess that I'd just rather disappear. I'm serious... I wouldn't want to be saddled with this evil cr@p forever. Could you imagine? I hope that there is an escape clause in this Heaven and Hell thing. You never know if you'll need it.

[Val49]

Jon you are simply ignorant I see whats wrong with your daughter and I see where she got it from. I am glad that he some what drilled you and your responce was NOTHING, you know NOTHING, leave it to the professionals, you never gave him a straight answer. I wouldn't let you see your grandchildren either or be around them your stupidity might rub off.

[redsongia]

At least his daughter takes the time to travel and get informed before she talks about an issue.

[MESGAIN26]

this guy is sociopath amazing he fail to mention 8 yrs of the bush and republicans chaos and recession damn near depression that they brought us. and i got news for this sociopath , Socialism assumes a bad name because it contradicts the greed of a capitalistic society in which people are left to fend for themselves, They defend capitalism as if any other kind of government will lead them into slavery. The truth is that capitalism is an express ticket into slavery This isn’t the first time that capitalism has failed. Every time it fails we use a form of temporary socialism to shore up the economy. When things start to return to normal, we give everything back to the capitalists why? Capitalism is not your friend; it never has been and will not be in the future. It will continue to feed the rich, in fact, more than just feed them, but it won’t help the average wage earner realize the American dream That’s never what it was designed to do. It was put in place to insure that the rich got richer and that the not so rich would stay where they were and to be grateful they could feed their families .

[Bude]

On Hardball, Ari Fleischer bragged that for six out of eight years of the Cheney/bush rule, the country had record job growth. The only way to complain about Obama is to pretend that the other two years don't exist.

[redsongia]

They pick and choose as it suits them. Bush also kept most of America safe for 100% of the time he was in office and a very small portion of the country was kept safe for 99.999% of the time he was in office. The tiny little percentage that's excluded from that figure occured on Sept 11, 2001 from 8:45 am to 9:26 am in New York, Washington DC and rural Pennsylvania.

[layman]

He has lots of words but conveys nothing.

[Easyrollins]

If you are mentally challenged, I could see where you would not be able to ingest the point

[layman]

You're speaking mental retardation.

[pissedmichael]

I am probably just weak and naive, but did I read correctly? O'Reilly defending Obama? If that's correct, Voight's views really are unsupported and laughable. He sounds like one of the characters in Dr. Strangelove. What a pathetic man.

[logicalchoice]

so the Rs find the biggist mental case to make thier state thier case, again. They're going to run out fo nutcases soon and then who will they have to repeat that same tired obstructionist fobia rant.

[amaboss52]

They will tro ll the psychiatric wards.

[MyGoodMojo]

Left or right, celebrity assures an audience, not competency on the subject at hand. It makes me cringe, almost embarrassed for them.

.... funny, I get the same feeling when Sarah Palin speaks on just about anything other than moose stew or snow-machines.

[AnnArky]

Midnight Whiner.

[amaboss52]

Midnight Cowpie

[AKAM80THEWOLF]

I only wish that the Republican Party had but one neck.

[MalloMel]

They are full of necks. Didn't you know?

[BlueRoseofTexas]

Jon, you are a legendary actor but lack the necessary analytical/critical thinking skills for political discourse it seems. You need a better, more convincing script methinks.

[southernman]

They just keep coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches. Or more like it they are like a persistant case of diarehha
