Jon Voight Calls For GOP to Remove “False Prophet” Obama

Remember, he was in “Anaconda”

The Republican Party needs money. I get that, but it also needs a lot of other things. Perhaps Sean Hannity’s head can serve as a rudder for their ship, as it isn’t doing him much good otherwise. Plus, it will be closest he’ll ever come to waterboarding (unless it becomes part of the Ruth’s Chris experience). That place has great food, but I hear it’s torture on your budget. See if you can unearth that memo, Mr. Cheney. If you need money to run the Halliburton copy machine, I’ll take out a fast loan and an online loan to help.

In the meantime, there’s the matter of the annual Senate-House fundraising dinner the elephants held last night. It was hosted by Jon Voight, who  clearly wasn’t enough to crack open the conservative wallets. What more does the man have to do to inspire you, constituency?

1. He called for “False Prophet” Obama to be taken down from his place of power.
2. He shills for Israel while spewing racial hatred toward Palestine.
3. He starred in the movie “Anaconda.”

I’m swayed. I’ll vote Democrat.

Ben Evans reports for the Associated Press that Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has urged GOP loyalists to “stand up for GOP principles but to be inclusive as the party tries to retake the majority.” He claims he is “happy” that Colin Powell is a Republican, but then he damaged his already threadbare credibility among non-office holding members of the party by expressing elation that Dick Cheney is a Republican. Even if he tries rolling in a wheelchair for sympathy like he did during Obama’s inauguration, he’ll never be able to dry the waterboarding moisture from his hands. Makes his trigger finger slippy, I understand.

But here’s the deal. Little Newtie was playing peacemaker. Cheney and Powell have been feuding over the direction of the GOP. But Gingrich explains this away with the delusional notion that “a majority Republican party will have lots of debates within the party. That is the nature of majority parties.” It’s delusional because the GOP is far from a majority party.

They should have nailed it

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was originally slated to host this party, but lack of confidence in her ability to lead the party and hence inspire investors prompted the GOP to audible and punt her over the Bridge to Nowhere. Perhaps the start of “Nailin’ Palin” would have been a better choice, because the ranting of Jon Voight still wasn’t enough. Evans writes that “the event took in a relatively small fundraising haul of $14.5 million, the lowest total in at least five years. Last year, it raised $21.5 million, compared with $15.4 million in 2007 and $27 million in 2006.” For now, the anaconda still has the GOP in its coils.

Palin wasn’t even informed until hours before the event that she would be given no speaking role at the function. After committees issued a press release in which they advertised Palin as a headliner at the event, Palin said she “never confirmed that she would speak and wanted to make sure the event didn’t interfere with state business.” And this is your most likely candidate to challenge Obama in 2012, Republicans?

Palin attended with husband Todd and was introduced to the crowd, but she did not speak.

A questionable host

Actor Jon Voight hosted the dinner. Brangelina was nowhere to be found, which wasn’t surprising. Daddy’s harsh rebukes of Obama were expected. He claimed he is “embarrassed” by the country’s current leadership and that Obama would cause the “downfall” of America.

“We are becoming a weak nation,” he said, then he dove into murky waters with an anaconda when he called Obama a “false prophet” and his administration the “Obama oppression.” As you’ll see in the video below, he also blasts Palestine for attempting to claim land to which they may have at least equal rights.

In a lapse of judgment similar to the Sonia Sotomayor opposition, some Republicans praised Jon Voight for his ill-advised hate speech. “You’re great. Come back any time,” said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Keynote speaker Gingrich called Voight’s comments “a rallying cry.” I hear Custer had a rallying cry, too.

Your lawyer can see your future from his house

(It’s buried under a snow drift)

Palin and Gingrich are both under consideration as Republican presidential candidates for 2012. Some still hold out hope that Rush Limbaugh will bounce into the ring (Keith Olbermann tagged him with the “Mr. Bouncy Bouncy” moniker). But the former duo appear to be in the lead currently. However, don’t expect to see one play the VP candidate to the other, as Palin is alleged to have stolen Ronald Reagan material from a Gingrich essay. Palin’s attorney claims she gave proper credit, but when an attorney is involved, you know one of two things is has happened (or both):

1. The client cannot competently express herself.
2. The client is guilty.

Whatever the case, the Republican party has definitely been guilty of a barrage of bad decisions lately. There may be merit to the statement they make that some of Obama’s policies are like Clinton all over again, but wasn’t the country economically prosperous during his tenure? Obama’s brand of socialism scares some people, because how many examples of successful socialism can you name? Maybe we’re witnessing an entirely new paradigm shift with Obama. It’s still too early to say. So long as he keeps his hands of my freedom to choose a fast loan or an online loan when I’m in a financial pickle, I’d be willing to share a sandwich with the man.
