Cokie Calls Jon Voight "Cringemaking"

She called his performance "cringeworthy", not him as a person. Very disceptive of you to headline otherwise. Shame on you!

Jon Voight is a has been looking for some credibility,even his daughter doesn't pay him any mind,perhaps he should do Infomercials to get some attention selling BS

People do cringe when the truth is too hard to hear.

Just another example of our morally bankrupt "media" acting as though it is offering thoughtful, objective observation, when it's really nothing more than an ongoing public relations operation on behalf of the Democrat Party.

Cokie Roberts, a dyed-in-the-wool, old school Louisiana democrat, pretending to be a "journalist" is what is cringemaking.

I've seen Jon Voight speak in person. He is a Patriot who loves our country.

Cokie Roberts is just another run-of-the-mill, self-hating, brain-dead liberal.

Voight's comments pale in comparison to the what the hordes of actors said about Bush and are saying about the republicans. It's going to take a lot more Voights to bring any balance to the rhetoric coming out of the entertainment industry.

More frightening is how willing we all are to listen to people whose talent is pretending to be someone else. When did being an accomplished actor translate into expertise in politics, in environmental issues, in how to raise our children, or any of the other limitless areas actors feel necessary to "educate" us on.

Voight is entirely correct about Obsma and it is that truth that is making the leftists cringe.

"I've seen Jon Voight speak in person. He is a Patriot who loves our country.

Cokie Roberts is just another run-of-the-mill, self-hating, brain-dead liberal."

Another example where Republicans call one group the real Americans and suggest something suspect when referring to Democrats.

When someone suggests the actions of a President are based on brainwashing then they should expect a response.

Yvonne, regarding Jon Voight and daughter, are you referring to the daughter with numerous tattoos, one who wore her last husband's blood in a vial around her neck, embarrassed the public immodest displays of affection, etc.?

You're so right, Jon Voight doesn't have much credibility -- his daughter, a very credible person, should know.

We've heard an endless diatribe of cringeworthy comments from the Hollywood left for years and Kookie picks now to make this comment? No surprise here.

I cringed when Cokie said we should just "shot him", that's the "good old boys" mentality .. Cokie is getting more and more cranky since the Republicans dropped in popularity.. she yarns for the good old days .

Let me see if I got this straight. It's cokie's fault, it's the media's fault, it's the whole democratic parties fault and it's OBAMA'S fault that this country was run it to the ground. You blame everyone else but yourselves for the mess you left.

I dunno, it seems like Miz Roberts is something of an expert on "cringeworthy."

it's *wrong* to criticize the Dear Leader; as wrong as it is not to have a portrait of him hanging in a place of honor in your home or business. comrade cokie was entirely right to denounce the imperialist counterrevolutionary racist voight. we should all be inspired by her example and bravely denounce the hate-filled reactionaries who stand in the way of the Dear Leader blazing the trail to ultimate freedom for us! we can never repay the Dear Leader for all he's done for us, daily putting his very life on the line, christlike, asking only for our votes in return.

"they can take our lives.....but they'll never take away our GOVERNMENT CHECKS!!"

We are all patriots who love our country. Our country is us. We are our country.

John Voight asked if Obama might have been brain washed by Reverend Wright. Many times people acuse others of what they've done themselves, i.e. Karl Rove brainwashed republicans into being hateful, fear mongering people.

Where have all the moderates gone? Where the independents have gone,sickened by the partisan war that makes politics a sewer.
Let's try to get some facts and objectivity back, beginning with the health care debate.
There is a consensus that 20% of ALL the healthcare costs are FRAUD,pure and simple. Medicare mills and checks to dead people and riduculous #s of tests by 1 doctor for every patient.
THAT IS NOT A FAILURE OF OUR HEALTH CARE system!!!!

Another 10% comes from Defensive medicine. I am a diabetic so I need blood tests every 90 days. I have been gong to the same doctor for 10 years. He likes me and he is honest. He runs 50 tests on me EVERY time instead of the 10 that are relevant. The ONLY reason he does this,he tells me, is to protect himself in the future from lawsuits if I should suddenly die or go into a coma. State medical malpractice insurance clearly shows, when a state puts an absolute cap on (infinite possible) "pain and suffering" above ALL the true costs of the medical care and wage losses, premiums fall like a stone. WOW!!!

The fact that the US population has gone from 13% OBESE in 1962 to 34% in 2000 is NOT A FAILURE of the US Health System!!! Our diet and exercise habits are awful. I happen to travel outside the US and it is amazing, the people in Europe and Asia (and my doctors) all seem to be much more fit and trimmer the average American.
We constantly hear that our medical system does not give us good care. One of the "statistics" used to "prove
this", is our "high" infant mortality rate. We try to save every possible baby, no matter how pre-mature, or how small they are, or how little they weigh. Virtually EVERY other advanced country does not even count newborns who are under a certain weight, or are too short, or are "born" before so many weeks of pregnancy. Also, I am sure in the US the totality of reporting might be higher than some other countries. Let us compare this (how to lie with statistics) stat with the laxer standards of virtually all the "advanced" european and asian socities. They do not have to cover nowhere near the area of the US.
The "best" infant mortality rates come from wealthy "city sates" like Singapore and Andorra and Monaco etc..they have great hospitals and no one lives more than 1 mile from them.
Why don't we try to address these real issues instead of telling "YOU SHALL" in a 2000 page bill no one has read? and trying to ram it through congress OBAMA "by Aug 30 then Sept 30 then Dec 31". As time goes on people support it less and more "practical questions" arise. Goverment cannot deliver "swine flu" on time as promised, they cannot pay virtually ANY of car dealers in the "cash for clunkers" auto program the $4500 they advanced. (this was unusual, it actually did well as planned). Now we learn that that "successful" stimulus cost $24,000 per $4500 granted, and the long term demand for cars goes right back to the 9M per year as before..Stimulus? or gimmick? Suddenly we need as second stimulus package? The GDP grew 3.5% last quarter, the recession is over. We printed 23% more money in 2008 alone, that is an all time record!!! Iam glad Bernacke did so. We do NOT want another 1929,but, now we happily far from that.
To show I am non-partisan, look how Bush handled Katrina "great job Brownie"so goverment incompetence is completely non-partisan.

A full 30% of our health care costs have to do with "end of life" issues.Do you really want the government meddling with THAT? That is for families and doctors to deal with. It is amazing. In the US we can keep people "alive" even in comas for years or decades. Remember Terry Schaivo? Do you REALLY want YOUR family to be subjected to THAT? I do NOT!! My father had a living will. He was clear. He had a massive stroke one morning and told my mom "No ambulance" and went into a coma. She called ambulance. He had "successful" neurosurgery but remained in the coma. He stated he did not wish any "extrodinary" measures but both of us ( my mother and I) to agree before the "plug" was pulled. I am pro-choice,libertarian and I loved my father. I wanted to give him EVERY chance. Pressure was put on me. Talk about your "irreversible" decisions!!!After one month I 'gave up". I was told he might have "lived" in that coma for years. A colleague gave me another example. He had a friend who knew of someone who went into a coma. He spent two years and $3 million dollars in the coma. Then his medical insurance ran out and the "special care" was stopped. He died 2 days later. I am not judging ANYONE. There are no "right" answers. Do you think government really belongs in this picture AT ALL??!!! It is a delicate complex matter for family and doctors! We can start to have government health care and rationed care so you have to wait in line for care or for organs so you "die" while waiting in line!!! I know we have the same issues here but most I have spoken with prefer our "ad hoc" rationing approach for organ donation to big brother.
There are lots of actual facts but NO ONE on either side of this great debate seem to care about them.
Sorry for making this so long but NO ONE seems to be addressing the real issues here while redefining our complex health care system.

Cokie was absolutely right.It's one thing to disagree with a president's policies, but to damn him as 'programmed' is disgraceful, weird. No wonder Angelina keeps that one away from her kids.

Obama is having success. One must understand the stragic thinking if this character. Obama must continue to destroy the middle-class (a traditional enemy of marxists) so "change" can happen more throughly. So he needs a weak dollar, illegal immigrants, high unemployement, confiscatory taxation, big brother policies, etc. Now that Obamacare passed the House more attention will be to implement land-reform (but will be hidden as environmental regulations). And look for more anti-freedom laws (hate speech laws, anti-gun laws, etc.) Obama is not failing he is doing very well if you consider the goals.

voight for pres. 2012...

Actors don't take roles they don't want. Including bottoms in Deliverance.

Cokie turned me off a long time ago and I in-turn changed the channel. This president had been making me cringe ever since he decided to dismantle the country piece by piece. First the Banks, then Automakers, now health care, and only the Czars know what's next. I worried about his future cringemaking, for the good of the Children.

This bill is a disaster; Jon Voight is correct. As a Louisiana native myself I can say that Cokie Roberts and her entire family are cringeworthy.

ABC AND THIS HAS BEEN HAS NO RIGHT TO SAY ANYTHING ANYMORE. IT IS A TIME FOR CHOOSING. (LOOK THAT UP)
ALSO IT IS A TOTAL DISGRACE THAT A SONG BY THE BEATLES IS BEING USED AFTER THE VIDEO. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE IF YOU SEEK IT. LONG LIVE THE U.S. AND SAY NO TO MAIN STREAM MEDIA.
