The Oscar-winning actor aired grievances on Fox News, framing them as a message to the American

In remarks framed as a message to the American public, actor Jon Voight emotionally aired his political grievances for several minutes in a televised statement on Saturday. Those grievances range from (but are not limited to) Benghazi, the IRS scandal, the "targeting" of conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, illegal immigration, the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court case, the treatment of war veterans, the chaos in Iraq and deep reservations about President Obama.

He posts the link and those lemmings go over there to post. They don't even like Hollywood, yet they post constantly on that site. It really is strange to see their odd obsession
