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.
What about Al Franken? And Tim Robbins? They were among the worst, especially Frnaken because he's insane and violent.
He's also more convincing in that role then he's ever been before.
In your face hollyweird ping......
LOL--funny because it's true!
Breed him with Cameron Diaz and you would get a retarded Monkey...
"His appearance on this billboard is the biggest role Chevy Chase has had in fifteen years."
And probably the only role he remembers after blowing all that coke up his nose...
You're right about Franken, but I don't know if he falls into the "Hollyweird" category.
Wonderful!
Now that the Hollywood Elites have made themselves Public Political Figures, they can find out how it feels to be publicly belittled and have no legal protections to stop it. Their once highly marketable images have become political dung for free use in political posters such as these.
Rock On!

I love all the controversy since the Sadaam and OBL billboards went up around Dallas. People are seeing these murderers as what they are.
Oh man!
BURN!
Afleck has poker ambitions beyond his acting career, and he aint bad at it
How sweet it is...gloating that is.

Affleck is a clueless. Hollyweird was using his (supposed, but I don't see it) "star-power." He's guilty by association for sure. That, and of being a dumb@ss.

O'REILLY: That's right. Now beside the tax issue, what is your biggest issue? What's really on your mind?
AFFLECK: Well, I think, you know, there has been a reduction in some veterans' benefits. About 500,000 people were cut from the medical services. And the Veterans Administration is going to lose, I'm told, $1 billion potentially if Bush is re-elected.
Some of those priorities bother me, but I also really feel that one of my bigger objections with Bush, besides the economy, which is my primary concern, is that, you know, I feel as though he behaved rashly. And I feel there's a lack of...
O'REILLY: In what way?
AFFLECK: In preemptively invading Iraq...
O'REILLY: All right.
AFFLECK: ...without assembling an international coalition. And I feel that if he really believed there were weapons of mass destruction, which he may well have, I really wish that as the president of the United States he would now turn to the American people and say you know what, I made a mistake and it was an honest mistake.
O'REILLY: OK.
AFFLECK: I was told there were weapons of mass destruction...
O'REILLY: Fair enough. We have advised the Bush administration to admit their mistakes as well. But you're President Affleck, OK?
AFFLECK: We're all in trouble.
O'REILLY: Listen, you're a bright guy. That could happen someday. The CIA says they got him. According to Bob Woodward, slam dunk, OK? The British intelligence MI-6 says he's got him. Vladimir Putin's intelligence says he's got them. OK? You just watched 3,000 Americans dead in the street because you, President Bush, didn't take enough action against Usama? You don't think that haunts the man? It haunts him.
AFFLECK: I'm sure it does.
O'REILLY: So you got a dictator who you think has got anthrax and everything else. You have France taking money from Saddam in Oil-for-Food. You know all about that?
AFFLECK: Yes, yes, of course.
O'REILLY: So of course you're going to make a move against Saddam, are you not?
AFFLECK: Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do is I'm going to go after the guy I know is responsible for September 11th. And I'm going to go into Afghanistan and I'm not going to leave until I get Usama.
O'REILLY: He's not there.
AFFLECK: He's diverted our resources from Afghanistan.
O'REILLY: He's in Pakistan. Are you going to violate Pakistan's sovereignty?
AFFLECK: No, I'm not going to violate...
O'REILLY: No, you're not.
AFFLECK: But we're not sure if he's in Afghanistan.
O'REILLY: We know where he is. He's up in northwestern Pakistan, OK? In order to get him, you've got to go into that country. And that means Musharraf could get overthrown by the fundamentalists. Life isn't easy. This is what I'm trying to get. All the Hollywood people…
AFFLECK: Yes.
O'REILLY: It's extremely difficult to fight this war. Mistakes are going to be made.
AFFLECK: I understand. I also think that — Saddam Hussein's Iraq is a Ba'athist, basically secular former puppet state of the Soviet Union. In fact, Usama bin Laden had vowed, was a sworn enemy of Saddam Hussein. So much that he had to release a tape later on saying it is OK to fight the Americans in Iraq. Now I know that they're the godless Communists, but now I'm sort of changing my tune. Everybody worth their salt knew that Saddam Hussein had no relationship with Al Qaeda.
O'REILLY: That's not true, though. Zarqawi, you know who he is, right?
AFFLECK: Sure, al-Zarqawi, sure.
O'REILLY: Right. He was living in Baghdad. So...
AFFLECK: But he's there now.
O'REILLY: No, he was there then. He got his leg treated after being hurt on the battlefield in Afghanistan. So they had nothing to do with 9/11.
AFFLECK: I think he's Jordanian or is he Lebanese?
O'REILLY: No, Zarqawi was an Al Qaeda operative living in Baghdad. I don't think you take the chance. But I want to tell you something.
AFFLECK: It's not an easy question. It isn't.
O'REILLY: You know, I want to tell you something. I respect you. I didn't know you before tonight. You come in. You answer the questions. You're not bomb-throwing. You're not a hater. And all Americans should applaud you. You're 30 years old.
AFFLECK: Well, thanks.
O'REILLY: You got a big future. And we appreciate it very much.
AFFLECK: Well, thank you for having me on your show. I enjoy watching. And it's an honor to be here.
O'REILLY: And tell your pinhead friends that I'm going to...
AFFLECK: That you're after them? Well...
O'REILLY: All right. Appreciate - Ben Affleck.
I agree that although Affleck is a vocal Democrat, he wasn't a major jerk about it. I'd replace Affleck with Sarandon and Robbins.
Not as much but yes. However, his good buddy Matt Damon offered $1 million for the defeat of Bush.
They are both jerks.
ROFL!!
Oh yeah, big time GOTV advocate until some investigative research uncovered the fact that he himself has failed to vote in the last 3 presidential elections. Can you say HYPOCRITE??
