Though they may rail against Hollywood personalities who become involved in politics when those personalities are on the left, conservatives have never turned down a little star power of their own. (See Reagan, Ronald.) Problem is, the pickings are a bit slim. So the guy who shows up lately is Jon Voight, who's been known to say some things that are pretty outlandish, even by an actor's standards.
Voight was back at it on Thursday, when he spoke at an anti-healthcare reform rally on Capitol Hill, organized by Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. On Twitter, NBC's Chuck Todd reported that Voight asked if President Obama's agenda was really about "subconscious programming... to damn America" received from his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
