Angie’s Dad - Jon Voight responds to Roseanne!

Angie’s Dad - Jon Voight responds to Roseanne!

After Roseanne Barr blasted Angelina Jolie and her father Jon Voight, the Midnight Cowboy actor responded to Barr via Extra. Here is Roseanne’s blog entry in case you missed it. Jon’s response is below:

“Answer to Roseanne Barr’s Rant:

We can never be surprised at what vile evil comes from the mouth of a confessed victim of child abuse at the hands of her own parents.

Her parents responded to the accusation by going on the air and slating she is a psychopathic liar and her sister agreed.

Her defaming of our National Anthem in 1990 gave us insight into who she is and what she is capable of saying and doing.

My allegiance to Senator McCain becomes stronger with any assault that tries to deter my loyalty to him.

I can only pray that good people see her for what she is (sick of mind).

-Jon Voight

YIKES!

WHO DO YOU THINK is more “sick of mind” — Roseanne or Jon Voight?

Wow - Jaye, ‘am glad you share my love for history, you are quite a historian ! This war was under Bush 41, who unfortunately decided to cut and run. It left Afhganistan ruined and tend itself to rebuit.

Too painful to reminish. Indeed even now, our foreign policy is deeply flawed, and Jolie is an advocate for reform, focused on the children of conflict.

Indeed, we owe to this people a safe return to their country, or give them an opportunity to immigrate. I would prefer that we rebuilt their country.

Well friend, hope springs eternal. Maybe Jolie will be a part of that change. Here’s to new friendship !

Why would she put herself through that hassle just for a red carpet walk? Brad can just fly over for some quickie appearances. What’s the rating on this movie anyway? He could bring the boys and his dad for a guys’ night out. I imagine she can go if the twins go with her. She may be up to every 4 hours but I doubt it. Naturally it depends on their weight.

I absolutely think Jolie is political but she has tried hard to stay bipartisan. That is a diiference. She certainly lobbies for legislation and funding. And please don’t get me started on Mother Teresa. Not a big fan here. For just one thing, she was totally opposed to any type of family planning even when women desperately wanted it and needed it.

I love that the vast majority of readers at the Washington Post trashed Roseanne’s lttle tirade. The WaPo readers even trashed the transparent and imbecilic FFers and MLers who swarm comment sites with their embarrassing hate filled and nonsensical posts. They are so clueless.

Forgot to add that I have thoroughly enjoyed onmyown’s reports on her travels. And even cast a worried eye on the news when I heard about the crash in Madrid. Glad you are still with us. How morbid I sound. Sorry.

onmyown and Jaye,

I am floored by your responses. I don’t think I am as intellectually incline as both of you. I am just a simple girl. Although I do have an interest in politics, I am just an amateur compare to both of you. But I will try to respond back to both of your descriptions on what defines or what it means to be a “political figure,” in our time. More specifically as it relates to Angie. Unfortunately, I am very busy at work and have not had the time to past. I hope to have responding post (it may be long) for you soon (weekend).

OT: onmyown,
Based on your last comment, I don’t know if you have a problem with Jill. But just to let you know, IMHO, I think Jill is pretty cool despite her acid tongue or because of it. I find her to be sarcastically funny and on point . I think she just wanted us to join the other fans on the other thread so they can also participate in our conversation. As you hinted earlier we are all independent rational thinkers. This is not intended as an offense in anyway, just building bridges.

Also thank you for the great descriptions of your travels of Europe. It sounds like you are having fun and relaxing. I know I am jealous stuck here busy working.

Dont blame Brad Pitt for what your daddies and his brothers did to you probably still doing you from your first memories to now.

Its not Brad Pitts or Angelina Jolies fault you came from a family of inhumane sexually perverted freaks. Nor is it their fault that you turned out to be such a hateful ingrate,bigot racist and liar .
I have read you before so writing in caps doesnt change who you are.

Normal parents like Brad and Angie for one can and do play with their children. Tickle them on their bellies, legs, arms, feet head neck , all the crooks and folds of their chubby skin. They hold them without a thought as to where their hand is, change their diapers bathe them , clean their ears, wipe their noses, rub their backs, kiss their bo bos (scratches and scrapes) wherever they may be, clean their eyes when full of sleepy crust , clean their bums, etc
and hug them long and gentle all in the name of love
Thats something you have a problem with. Your problem Not Brad Pitts.
Touching your child or a person you love is normal not dirty the way you percieve it. One more time >>>>It is called love even better unconditional love and its a beautiful thing. Something again that comes natural to most people.(normal people)

You just happen to come from a very fffed up family where the gruesome act of pedophilia is the norm to you but Listen Up actually it is a mental disorder of adults (your family) which causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of your day to day functioning. Thats YOU! The way you think b/c of your experiences with your daddy or moms many b/fs and Uncles Johnny Jimmy cousin Jeff. Come on You remember maybe different names but you know what they did to you.
So you think all the people you hate for no reason like Brad Pitt are just like your family of perverted male predecessors who did you dirty. Wrong!

You know dam well deep down in your messed up head and gut that Brad Pitt is not doing anything inapproprate to his daughter
So dont bother using Brad as an example of what your inbred family put you thru. Your contempt for both Brad and Angie is b.c Brad fell madly in love with Angelina Jolie and that makes you more nuts
And now the twins are here so naturally your evil issues are distressing you more than usual. Seek Help!

For Alison Carroll, a receptionist at a golf club, being chosen to be the new face of Lara Croft was a dream come true.
She has revealed that she will only be happy if she were as good as actress Angelina Jolie.

“It’s strange to be following in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie. She’s amazing and if I can be anywhere near as good as her Ill be happy.”

Lara Croft has been played most memorably by Nell McAndrew, who did the same kind of promotional work that Carroll will be doing, and Jolie, who starred in the two Tomb Raider films, and both have inspired the new face.

“I would love to meet them but especially Angelina. She’s brilliant and has always been a role model of mine. I love her acting. She is so very talented and beautiful. Before I even auditioned I watched the films over and over and played the video game to make sure I understood the character perfectly.”

I love angelina but I have to agree with Roseanne. I definitely do not agree with any sort of allegiance towards McCain though. Roseanne is wrong in thinking that it was solely the fault of Republicans … Democrats definitely had a hand. There’s just something seriously wrong with american politics but hey this is a gossip forum so… let me stop here.

aeon @ 08/21/2008 at 7:55 pm

Hi Aeon, I’m just a simple girl too. I try not to bring prejudices into my comments, but to look at the facts. I can and do readily acknowledge when someone else makes a point. I am not disagreeable just for the sake of being disagreeable. I believe we all can state our point of view and live in harmony. I enjoy reading a lot of the comments of this site, yours included.

Porto Verde, Braga Portugal - Alhambra Palace 6:41 pm 08-21

Jaye and Aeon,

Yours are acknowledged with thanks.

I reject the premise that Jolie is not a political figure. By nature, Man is a political animal. Activism in any form - humanitarian, social, scientific, economic and cultural, is the ULTIMATE EXERCISE OF POLITICAL POWER.

Activism and advocacy, according to Aristotle, is the ability to recognize right from wrong;

That man is endowed with conscience to carry that burden to redress tyranny, inequity and injustice;

That man is endowed with intelligence to reason;

That man is endowed with speech to vocalize its protest and ultimately seek reform and solution.

Jolie is all that and more !

From Aristotle, to Plato to Socrates to present day activists, - Noam Chomsky of USA, and Fethullah Gulen of Turkey, the concept of political power was never intended to those who seek public office, or by virtue of political appointments. It was intended to those who seek to reform injustice to mankind. Being a politician or holding public office is INCIDENTAL.

Jolie, through her advocacy to promote justice for the refugees, children of conflict, and to seek international justice for war criminals makes her a passionate and ferocious political figure. That these causes propelled her in the public eye is only consequence of her advocacy, that too, is INCIDENTAL.

And to use your own argument - “Jolie is smart.” True - intelligence and savvy are the marks of a true politician. To quote Jolie, ” You never want to rub anybody the wrong way” . Jolie is able to navigate through the intricacies of international politics without being openly hostile. It’s called diplomacy.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. — Frederick Douglass

Passion - a sure mark of an activist. Jolie’s passion is unrelenting.
Sure, she is in the middle of storm in the process of her advocacy, and yet through diplomacy she is able to engage conversations with world leaders. They listen !

This country belongs to the people and whenever they shall grow weary of their government they can exercise their constitutional right to amend it, or revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it. — Abraham Lincoln

Indeed, Jolie is the ultimate politician. She joins the ranks of leading activist - Buddha, Dalai Lama. Gulen et al.

Jolie for President !
==========================

Whew, what can I say!!! Posts from You, Jaye & Aeon are are always inspiring & fun to read.

i agree, jon shouldn’t have responded to rosanne the man. he made good points though. rosanne the man, is just trying to get people to remember that (s)he is still around. i had almost forgotten about shim.

Hey Jared!!!!!!!! @ 08/22/2008 at 4:45 am

Hey Jared, make a new post on the sales results of the People Magazine TWINS issue, and make sure you point out it’s the 4th biggest seller in People Magazine HISTORY!

[CUTE AND CUDDLY PAYS THE BILLS: A total of 2.6 million copies. That’s how many newsstand issues of People with the exclusive photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s newborn twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, have sold, according to sources close to the magazine, citing early sales estimates for the issue. People and Hello reportedly snatched up the exclusive baby photos for a wallet-busting $14 million, the cost split between the two in some manner. People scored the domestic rights for the images; Hello bought the international ones.

The issue is the biggest seller in seven years, and is the fourth highest newsstand seller in the magazine’s 35-year history, behind the Sept. 11 issue (4.1 million single copies), the issue covering Princess Diana’s death (3 million) and the one covering the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. (2.8 million). The June 19, 2006 issue with the exclusive baby pictures of Brad and Angelina’s first daughter, Shiloh, moved 2.2 million newsstand copies (perhaps the extra Pitt-Jolie baby provided a bigger draw this time).]

New Thread PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! So many new thing to write about.

Palace Hotel do Busacco, Coimbra, Portugal

“Had my last dinner with Liv who remained in Braga to finish his bank business, and will catch up with us in Coimbra. It’s about 1hr driving along the Mediterranean side with long stretch of silvery sand. The other side is a verdant forest. BamBam had to do her business, so we stopped along a beautiful garden, a tourist rest area. At 6:00 pm, the missions bells rang, and everyone bowed their heads for 1-2 mins, then bowed to each other. In deference to that tradition, I bowed and greeted them too. What a wonderful tradition !

Palace Hotel do Bussaco is in the middle of a very thick and winding forest towards heaven. The architecture- Manueline-Gothic architecture where in yesteryear’s 1800 the last King of Portugal lived, and was converted to a luxury hotel sometime early 1900. From up top my room, you can see the Mediterranean like a never ending flat mirror, intersecting with the billion stars in heaven. I dressed up for supper to meet the guests - oh my - so this is how the royalty lived. Sky is the limit in food and wine - the best of Portuguese cuisine - huge lobsters, and all kind of sea food. Then the after dinner wine and chat in another yet magnificent room, then there is the customary dance called “Fago” with the guest - an intricate, very romantic dance.

I did not sleep in that luxury bed, instead, I dragged the comforter put in the veranda, and where I lazilly watch the moon, billion stars and the sea. BamBam curled underneath. God really made this earth perfect !

Tomorrow is a distant far far away !

Thanks for thinking about me. You have ESP. Madrid was never in my itinerary because of Basque separatist movement, and the blast at the train station. But Liv had business at Banco Madrid, so he phoned me from Monaco to drive to Madrid instead. There are 5 of us, 4 brothers, and I don’t get to see them often. So I drove to Madrid.
Canary Island is the biggest attraction during this height of summer vacation, but Liv and I opted not to go. Thus we avoided that plane coming back from the CI.

It was not our time to go.

In college, although I was pursuing Pre-Med/Med School, I was an activist. My heart goes to the Basque movement in terms of giving them equal rights and representation in Spain’s government, but I don’t favor a separate state for Basque. All through out Spain’s history, the Basque had been disparage and marginalized. They deserve equal standing in Spain. Basque history is a very rich - interesting reading. Perhaps one of this days, we can cyber talk.

In another topic, glad at least we see eye to eye that Jolie is a political figure.

Thanks as always,

aeon @ 08/21/2008 at 7:55 pm onmyown and Jaye,

Aeon, I read your post, it’s far from being simple. Your are well informed. Remember that always.

As to Jill, whether she realized or not, she has many critics. I am not the only one. She had been called many names - disgusting monikers, and for the sake of F1, I let it go. She had been called the N words, which I find reprehensible. I immediately emailed JJ, the they were deleted. I will not defend her when she is right, no more, or no less than I would for you or anyone else. Simple as that.

Sure, I admire her off beat criticisms and snarks, and yes they are funny. She is also a defender of Jolie. I give her that. But she create havocs. She’s got this wide mood swings - unable to conduct civil conversation - always angry and hostile. Then suddenly, she is sweet and gracious. She’d been my critique all these time, and that is find with me.

Truthfully, Jolie will not approve the way she criticize children - Suri for one is only 2 years old. Jill has taken up a mean offense against this little girl. That is not acceptable in my view. am sure Jolie will not tolerate that !

This is a community blog, and we should be at least civil to one another even if we disagree on issues.

amended
sorry: ” i will defend her when she is right, no more, no less …

Dear Neer,

Neer, thanks for the link. It would be too too hard for me to think that Jolie will not reprise her role as Lara Croft. But, hey the new Lara at least like Jolie.

On another matter, ‘am deeply flattered by your comments. Jaye, Aeon and Groundcontrol makes it easy for me. Just great conversations with them.

I always loved your analyses of X and her predicaments. You have a way of sorting and shifting through her psychological profile. You have that talent. I believed we talked about it . I read you comments, and here is a confession, I have my secretary print everyone else, a continous profile of everyone else writing. I relate better that way.

‘now, am going to the “centro”, it’s like a public mall about 3 km from the palace. They apparently selling African fabrics etc. I have to bike my way around this place. it was a little bit nippy this morning, i woke up in the veranda, where the sunrise, a huge orange ball is coming up the horizon. God, what a beautiful country !

later’

he was totally right in what he said…
its none of her business who he decides to vote for…
personally i dont like her at all she’s nothing but a piece of white trash I’m sorry but that is how she behaves she doesn’t care what she says or looks like.

I just wanna know…who paid Roseanne to write what she did?

No one pays her, she’s has tirades on many people including Obama, Glenn Beck and Oprah; it’s what she does in lieu of having a life.

I saw the pictures of the new Lara Croft, Ms. Carroll , in her Lara gear. She’s no Angelina. She doesn’t have any spark or expression at all. Angelina looked fierce. She could handle a gun , kick your a-s-s and mean it. This woman looks like she’s a little girl ( albeit busty) playing dress up. She’s a pretty girl, but she doesn’t look like she could have beaten me up when I was in the fifth grade. I don’t see ‘attitude’ in her pictures. I wish her well and hope that if they make another movie, she’s better in live action.

*****************
Oh Jaye, this breaks my heart ! Yes, that attitude has to be there. Do you know why Angelina did not sign up for the role ? I play them once a week I have to just see them. She had that scene with the butler where she “walked that walked”, b utt naked. No body will take her place. This really makes me sad.

It’s funny but Portugal has many theaters where they show older films of Angelina. She is quite popular here in Europe - no scratch that - very popular in Europe. Spain and Portugal are just showing Wanted. She’s presently getting ad on TV.

By the way - I bought HOLA mags here, twice Angelina has been on the cover, and also the August series of Vanity Fair [Europe edition]. When I get back, maybe I’ll have subscribe.

Anyway, are you now safe in Florida ? My youngest brother is there now, I heard it’s been raining for the past 4 days. My parents have a summer house in Palm Beach, with the beach just in front. We usually spent summer there, but we are all grown up now, and everyone has left the coop - again scratch that. They actually booted everyone of us - once we graduate, we can’t go back. I thought being the only girl, I would be an exemption, but Mom was the one who kicked my out of the house.

One of this days, I’ll invite you to see mom’s place. We’ll have a good time. Bring your hubby and your children, you’ll be my guest. This is an open invitation !

‘later.

Sorry, it’s the vino effect - i meant fine

Roseann is a bitter Hillary supporter who can not let go.

JV is supporting a 3rd Bush administration. Bush is an idiot and useless president and McSame is a wannabe Bush.

People, pretty please use your God given noggins and vote for our only hope for change!
