Billboard Blitz to Blast Hollywood
Human Events Online ^ | January 28, 2005 | Human Events

Posted on 01/28/2005 1:48:32 PM PST by hinterlander

HUMAN EVENTS has learned that a billboard blitz "thanking" Hollywood for the reelection of President Bush will be unveiled early next week.

The advertisements feature the faces of liberal Hollywood icons Michael Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Chevy Chase, Barbara Streisand, and Sean Penn, and offer thanks to Hollywood their help getting President Bush reelected.

Two versions of the billboard were created, both "thanking" Hollywood -- the first for "4 more years" and the second for "W. Still President."

Billboard creator Citizens United, a group that advocates a return to traditional American values, has purchased the use of three billboards near the Kodak Theatre (home of the Academy Awards) for the month of February, which includes Oscar Night, Sunday, February 27.

Asked about the campaign, Citizens United President David Bossie said, "We're taking on Hollywood. We've done it in the past." Of the organization's many actions, one of its most famous challenges to Hollywood was Celsius 41.11, a documentary exposing "the truth behind the lies of Fahrenheit 9/11," the Michael Moore anti-Bush mock-umentary.

Was Ben Affleck vocal about anything political?

Just enough to sound stupid.

Oh ok. I don't know if that really alienated people like those others did. they should ahve replaced him with Harry Belafonte. I think Affleck has political ambitions after his meager acting career ends.

It's difficult.

First, you must pass the Seven Tests of Strength.

Then, you must prove your courage via the Feats of Valor.

Following, you must pass a 1,000-page written test designed to assess if you have necessary intelligence to become an RPR.

Or, you could ask to be on, buy me a Pepsi, and I'll say sure. :^)

Out of all of the Hollywood leftists, I can almost forgive Ben Affleck. He didn't do anything to outrageous and he did not get personal. I think he is just a Boston kid who made more money than he knows what to do with and doesn't know better.

Don't forget John Cusack. He was really annoying, especially that little interview FOXNEWS let him do with Obama, Osama, wahtever his name is, before the election.

Well, to Affleck's credit, he didn't make a total ass out of himself. But he was still an ass.

They might need to add the suicide prevention hotline number: 1-800-BUSH-WON

He's more cagey about it then we might suspect. After Kerry or Ted Kennedy retire I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the MA Senate race.

I don't think they're the type to off themselves. But I bet there'll be a run on drugs and/or booze.

Damon always sounds like a complete moron. Isn't he a Harvard grad? Appalling.

I THINK HE SUPPORTED KERRY, BUT IN INTERVIEWS I SAW HE WAS COMPLETELY RESPECTFUL WIHT REGARD TO PRESIDENT BUSH...UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE SAW SOMETHING ELSE, I THINK IT OK TO DISAGREE WHEN IT IS DONE WITH RESPECT FOR OTHERS OPINIONS.

His appearance on this billboard is the biggest role Chevy Chase has had in fifteen years.
