Victoria Jackson has come out against Barack Obama. Like, a lot. The still not-ready-for-primetime player has just unleashed an angry/incoherent tirade directed toward the Senator from Illinois on—get this!—her own, personal blog.

(I was as surprised to hear the Saturday Night Live alum was still alive as I was to learn of her mastery over the worldwide web!)

Among Vic’s many cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs claims were: Obama is the “anti-Christ”; Obama owns the [sic] “un-educated” voting block; Obama is a “fake Christian”… and that subsequently makes Obama “soooo evil.”

But here’s the part where, I believe, Victoria (”Miss Jackson” if you’re nasty) made some semblance of a point:

“I know my stance might keep me from LA jobs, since (almost) the whole town is liberal but, some time in a man’s life, or a bleach blonde 49 year old woman’s life, one must stand for what they believe in, and put truth before popularity.”

Are you saying that a community of open-minded (and legged) artists that value free thought above all else would ever consider blackballing a fellow actor who happened to disagree with the collective whole?

First of all, yeah, that is what I’m saying. (And secondly, try and make your questions a little less wordy in the future.)

Andrew Breitbart, founder of Breitbart.com, and co-author of Hollywood, Interrupted: Insanity Chic in Babylon - The Case Against Celebrity, maintains that the rightwing freeze felt from the clubs along Sunset Boulevard all the way to Silvercup Studios in Queens is comparable to Senator Joe McCarthy’s blacklisting of perceived — and actual — communists back in the Cold and Warring days of the 1950s.

“Back then, even if you were blacklisted, you could still make money,” says Breitbart. “If network television rejected you, Broadway would still welcome you with open arms. Now, if you’re some low-level guy walking around the Paramount lot trying to get noticed and your right of center politics become know, it’s a disaster. The same industry people that walked out of Good Night, And Good Luck crying their eyes out won’t give you the time of day, because they think Bush is Hitler and therefore you’re an SS soldier.”

While the industry’s executives will always value making a buck over people’s political affiliations, for every opinionated yet inoffensive Oprah out there, there are ten more of the Tim Robbins, Sean Penn and Rosie O’Donnell variety ready to rip the McCain pin off some beleaguered, rightwing key grip.

“Hollywood is a very liberal town and supporting a Republican, even one with liberal social views, is considered risky business,” Giuliani-backer and LA publicist Michael Levine said last year, according to Page Six. (This was when America’s mayor still had a snowball’s chance of becoming America’s president.)

Indeed, sources tell me the anti neo-con climate in Hollywood is so potent that secret societies have formed full of right-thinking actors, directors, trust funded production assistants, and anyone else that finds the GOP in LA to be MIA.

Apparently, out-of-the-closet conservatives like Dennis Miller, Jon Voight, and Dennis Hopper often make the rounds during these clandestine meetings, but the vast majority of members keep their ideology even more secret than their coke habit, four mistresses, and that lady boy hooker they accidentally killed in Thailand some years back.

Only time will tell what Victoria Jackson’s red-state admission has wrought — but don’t be surprised if, at the next SNL retrospective, Chevy Chase becomes the second most reviled and shunned creature on the 30 Rock soundstage.

timdub70 said: Several more have come out, like David Zucker, director of the upcoming film, "An American Carol". I seem to see more out of the closet gays than out of the closet Republicans and/or Christians. I looked at Victoria's website, she STILL recites poetry while standing on her head. And she was great as Weird Al's girlfriend in UHF.

Sad - yet I know it gives Victoria pleasure should she read them. It's fun seeing how pathetic the Left is eh Vicki? :-) best wishes to you.

Razed By Wolves said: If you’re looking for credible criticism of Barack Obama, why in the world would you need to dig up Victoria Jackson? Does she prove that all of Obama’s critics are just right wing religious whackos? Campus speech codes, hate speech laws and the Hollywood blacklisting of conservatives all demonstrate the remarkable lack of tolerance liberals have for “wrong kind” of dissent. Alexander Solzhenitsyn was sentenced to the Soviet Gulag for disagreeing with Stalin. Our own progressives have proposed “truth commissions” to prosecute the alleged crimes of the Bush administration. There is much to dislike about Obama’s leftist ideology and independent voters are just starting to appreciate how far out of the mainstream he really is. In the finest postmodernist tradition Obama has rewritten his personal history and belief system just in time for the general election. This morning I heard Obama talking about how he and Biden are huge proponents of personal initiative. Apparently he wants to start cancelling those Great Society programs immediately. Since the democratic primary effectively ended several months ago Obama has sounded more conservative than George W Bush as he moves to the right on issue after issue. The reason there was nobody at the democratic convention to vouch for Obama’s character and qualifications is not that he didn’t have friends, mentors and spiritual advisors. Rather, from the late communist Frank Marshall Davis to community organizer Gerald Kellman, unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and his pastor of 20 years Jeremiah Wright those people raise more questions about Obama’s character and judgment than they answer. Obama has spent much of his adult life working for “economic justice” and his agenda to achieve it includes a long list of government controlled programs that begin with the words “free” or “universal.” There is, of course, nothing new here. Anyone familiar with the language of class warfare will instantly recognize the call to punish the successful with taxation and redistribute their earnings through various welfare state schemes. Taken together, Obama’s prescription for “change” is a rehash of failed liberal policies that will result in high inflation, high interest rates and high unemployment. It is consistent with his leftist worldview that explains everything in terms of the oppressor and the oppressed. The voters need to connect the dots.
