Roseanne Blasts Angelina Jolie & Jon Voight Over Political Opinions

[davidnc76]

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Roseanne has slammed Angelina Jolie, her partner Brad Pitt, and her father, Jon Voight in a new post on her personal web site.

Calling Jolie, Voight’s “evil spawn,” and Pitt, “vacuous,” Roseanne’s attack seems to be directed at the actress and her family members over their opinions regarding presidential hopeful, Senator Barack Obama.

Roseanne’s post seems to start out as a response to an OP-ED piece Voight wrote for the Washington Times in July, against Obama.

“God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way,” Voight wrote.

[Deja Q]

1. Does Voight think America is particularly strong, in any way, right now?!

As usual, Roseanne's got something worthwhile to talk about. :thumbsup:

Indeed, while I loathe it, I'm going to get "Roseanne: The Complete 9th Season" just to keep her rich (that sitcom got completely stale by season 8, but I digress) Better her than Jolie, whose epithet of "vacuous" won't can't be contested for quite some time.

[Truth4Justice]

28. 8 years of bushco and Jon wants McCane? What is he smoking these days?

[cali]

2. roseanne barr, hopelessly stupid and seemingly often drunk

what an idiot she is.

[AllentownJake]

3. She at least had a funny show in the early 90s

Till they won the lottery...than it sucked.

[Deja Q]

6. That was the 9th season.

:D


Mind you, if I recall rightly, she was a bit surprised to get it, so I'm not surprised she hammed everything up and turned it all into a big dream sequence at the end...

[JSK]

8. Roseanne is not an idiot

She may be a tad crazy (and what true progressive isn't these days?) but she is very intelligent and never afraid to speak her mind.

[underseasurveyor]

12. Oh yea sure... statements like these

are often made by the "hopelessly stupid and seemingly often drunk" idiots:eyes:

“Miss Jolie says she likes McCain too and hasn’t decided who to endorse… huh?” Roseanne blogged. “Aren’t you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican party’s worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan?”

“Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more,” Roseanne claimed."

Roseanne Barr is obviously disconnected and uninformed about the world.

So you disagree with what Roseanne said?

[cali]

13. first of all, I could care less what Jolie and Pitt have to say about politics

it's stupid to put any energy into it. Why does Roseanne bother? Secondly, I read some of her moronic blog posts attacking Obama in the most vile of ways.

Yeah, I think she's an idiot, but really, who cares?

[underseasurveyor]

19. Then why did you post to this thread... if you don't care?

I mean really.. attack and name calling then claim you don't care? How laughable is that:rofl:

Besides I'm sure you are as equally if not more in "the know" as Roseanne. It would seem to some that your "moronic" post attacking Roseanne in a "most vile way" is no different than what you claim Roseanne did to Obama. So how is what you did different than what Roseanne did?

I'll ask a second time.... So you disagree with the statements Roseanne made in the article?

[davidnc76]

21. Because I thought the headline and article were funny...

Just like I thought Tropic Thunder was laugh out loud hilarious!

[Stand and Fight]

38. Who cares?

You apparently do! You bothered to not only read the post, but to comment... Disconnect from logic much, do you?

[roguevalley]

26. Rosanne is directing her bile at the wrong people. The Pitts don't

have to prove anything to anyone. They live their values.

[Carolina]

33. STUPID?!

Her comments are right on target.

[underseasurveyor]

35. Yes we are in agreement

Reply to the wrong post? :shrug:

[Truth4Justice]

29. Barr needs to take a chill. The Pitts have been charitable; its Americans that like violent movies.

Get a life Roseanne !

[tburnsten]

34. Exactly. Won't see me turning down

a $20,000,000 job because roseanne barr thinks that the plot is "violent and psychopathic". She needs to get a life.

[HughBeaumont]

4. Yeah, I was particularly weirded out by Angie baby's comments.

"Let's see, a continuation of Bewsh's world-destroying policies or Obama. Wow, that's a puzzler. However will I decide?"

I mean, WHAT the hell? HOW is this debatable?

I could see her dad being a whopping nutjob, but I didn't expect this coming from her.

Then again, she's starring as Dagney Taggert in next year's Atlas Shrugged . . . the movie.

Yes, I know. "WHY??? JUST . . . WHY????" I don't know, I just live here.

[davidnc76]

5. I wasn't going to post this

b/c I usually don't give a crap about what Hollywood thinks about the candidates. I just thought the headline was funny... Anyways...

[Deja Q]

7. I'm just glad that was the exception to the rule!

:D

[Possumpoint]

9. Am I Suppose To Care

what either Jon Voight or Roseanne Barr said about anything. Star status doesn't give them any credit towards being critical thinkers. Pick a star, any star other then Bill Crosby and put a cork in their mouth. Bill, with his background in education has proven he has something of value to say.

[90-percent]

10. Rosanne

Rosanne honored Frank Zappa during the creds on her show when Frank died in the early 90's.

She also had Ahmet Zappa in one episode in a bedroom with a few prominent Zappa posters. Think it was the glove poster from "Them or Us", which is still available from Barfko-swill, I think?

11. I love how she characterizes Voight's view of Obama

"Roseanne lashed out at Voight’s opinion calling him a “frightened little girl in a pink ballet tutu, who acts like Obama just wandered in from the rain forest with a bone his nose and a communist pamphlet in his loincloth,” she blogged.

LOL - she has a way of giving it to people.

[fascisthunter]

14. Oh that's Funny as Hell

[mvd]

17. And if Voight and Jolie can mouth off..

Why not Roseanne? Voight needed a little put down for that fascist rant.

[fascisthunter]

32. absolutely.... Honestly. Any Well-Off Person who Condones

the actions of the GOP in the last 8 years and wants to get McCain elected have not one leg to stand upon and seriously should have to live in poverty themselves. Then, and only then should they mouth off....

[LibDemAlways]

15. She was out of line in criticizing the size of

the Jolie-Pitt family. Three of their six kids are adopted. Roseanne has 5 children, one of whom she gave up for adoption.

Also, no point in lumping Angelia Jolie with her father. The two have long been estranged, so I doubt his politics influence her very much.

I think Jolie is politically naive if she thinks the repukes are anything other than war mongering corporatists who don't give a damn about anybody, but I certainly don't take her opinions into account when making my own political decisions, nor, I think, does anybody else.

[Deja Q]

16. Why did Roseanne give one up for adoption?

You're right that lumping her in with her father was pointless... but why did Roseanne give one up? (Plus, compared to other outlets, adoption isn't such a bad service...)

[LibDemAlways]

18. She gave one up because she was an unmarried teenager, and

that was the right choice for her at the time. In no way am I passing judgment, just pointing out that it's hypocritical to criticize people for having 6 children - implying that they are depleting natural resources - when you've had five of your own and are familiar with the adoption process by which they have helped to create their family.

[otohara]

25. The Pitts Should Adopt The Kid Roseanne Gave Up

all those years ago. Find that person and offer she/he to live with them and become a Pitt.

[davidnc76]

41. I agree

[Fireweed247]

20. Roseanne is right, but then I haven't seen her out helping the political situation either

Angelina and Brad have an incredible opportunity to use their celebrity and money to make a real difference in the world.

I cannot fathom how anyone that paid the slightest bit of attention to politics could even consider voting for McCain or actually believe that he knows what to do in Iraq. My impression of their intelligence has dropped dramatically. They have been busy with children but still, it is our responsibility to inform ourselves and fight for a better world for our children.

The corporate media is so focused on celebrities and bullshit, if these celebrities all spoke up together and told the truth about what is happening in this country, they could make a real difference because the media wouldn't be able to ignore it.

[tuckessee]

22. Is this the same Roseanne who jokes about rape in those radio ads?

The stupid ads where it seems like she's talking with host of the show and they're pimping some resort in Las Vegas.

She has that line where she says she's thinking about "raping tennagers who are in their 30's".

Pretty disgusting. I can't imagine they'd let a man joke about rape.

[Quantess]

23. If it's true that Angelina Jolie "likes McCain" then that is really disappointing

and I can fully understand Roseanne Barr's lashing out at them. Someobody needs to!

[JVS]

24. Roseanne had some fucking awful things to say on Obama herself a few months ago

[Truth4Justice]

27. Funny but I heard that Jon and Angelina are not all that close.

[gateley]

30. I think they're estranged. Big time. nt

[gateley]

31. Disagree with the slam on Jolie/Pitt's chartable donations.

They do more than give money.

And Brad Pitt has probably done more for NOLA than our government.

I've heard Rosanne on AAR, and she's well informed and has a keen interest in politics and what's going on in the world.

[Cleita]

36. Well, Mr Voight, why would socialist eras in America even matter to

millionaires like yourself who are so removed from reality that you can't even fathom the idea that America was founded for everyone, not just the rich?

I dunno why Roseanne would want to pick on Brad Pitt who has pretty much established himself as liberal in thought in the past. I don't know about criticizing Angelina either as she really hasn't informed us of her politics and does try to bring the plight of the worlds poor to light by means of her fame.

[salguine]

37. Before I make any big, far-reaching decisions, I check to see what fucking Roseanne thinks.

[davidnc76]

39. So do I. Then I sing the National anthem and grab my crotch and hurl a nice loogy into the direction

of the White House.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

40. Angelina Jolie has said nothing about who she's voting for

Last time I heard, she seemed to be saying she was considering both. I think she wants to remain non-political to avoid hurting her causes.

Jon Voight is a right-wing asshole, but being that he and Angelina do not even talk, I doubt he has any influence on her politics.

Roseanne is a loudmouth looking for a job other than Tahiti Village commercials.

[snailly]

42. My god, what an awful, bitter person

Anything to get attention these days, I guess. LOOK AT ME!
