Actor Jon Voight, the 69-year-old father of Angelina Jolie, has penned a biting critique of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

“The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way,” he wrote in the Washington Times Monday.

“The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds,” he wrote, comparing Obama’s campaign with the “Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement” in the 1960s.

Voight theorizes that “Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger” who “will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America” if he is elected.

The actor concludes: “If, 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.”

Jolie has yet to make up her mind about the election.

“I think people assume I’m a Democrat,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “But I’m registered independent and I’m still undecided. So I’m looking at [John McCain] as well as Obama.”

She has also used the editorial page to get her opinion out.

In February, she wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post about the “moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families.”

The Obama campaign, meanwhile, reportedly turned down an offer from Jolie’s beau Brad Pitt to appear for the candidate.
