Here’s an interview with Jon Voight at Radar Online, in which he demonstrates a grasp on reality that seems to elude most of his peers: Patriot Act.

In this section, Voight puts the Radar Online interviewer on the spot:

So you think the Administration might know where the WMDs are?
We’ve got to be careful here. I want to have a conversation with a citizen who is trustworthy. I don’t want to be talking to somebody who’s going to use what I say to cause a sensation and make a few bucks.

This is a question and answer interview, so we’re not going to take anything you say out of context.
I’ve got to know what your intentions are, what your purposes are. Because people call me up about my family matters and stuff like that, and they’re only interested in selling a newspaper, they want to make things sensational, they don’t give a damn about my well-being, or my family’s well-being, or anything, and I don’t like it. And these considerations, when I’m talking about our United States, this is serious business, and people are continuously using this stuff for nonsense—people are politicizing this stuff for their own ends. It’s one of the biggest dangers we have right now. The irresponsible use of innuendo and falsehoods. It’s a very big danger.

We really just want a fair interview, nothing more. We try to talk to people in the public eye who are interesting and ask them about topics our readers care about. I think most people have strong opinions on this subject, and they might want to hear yours, considering who you are.
The question for me is: who are you and where are your sensibilities? If you’re part of a left-wing bias and want to turn what I say in favor of someone on your agenda, I would say I don’t want to talk about it with you. It’s difficult for me … because I see so many people go in the wrong direction. I see it all the time and it’s very, very disturbing. What’s being said in so many places in the country is just dangerous.
