Billboard Delivers Right Jab To Hollywood

LOS ANGELES -- A conservative group is giving thanks where thanks is not wanted.

Citizens United posted a billboard thanking Hollywood stars for contributing to the re-election of President George W. Bush.

The billboard includes the text "4 More Years ... Thank You Hollywood!" It features pictures of Michael Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Affleck, Chevy Chase, Martin Sheen, Barbra Streisand and Sean Penn.

"Using a billboard, thanking Hollywood for helping re-elect George Bush is somewhat in fun, but also delivers a serious message," said Dave Bossie, president of Citizens United. "That is, every action has an equal and opposite reaction."

Citizens United is the same group that mounted a counterattack against Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" called "Celsius: 41.11."

The billboards are more than one block from the site of the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood and Highland, site of the Academy Awards presentation. Citizens United said it has plans for more billboards in the area.

Is that really the actors or their grandparents?
Is Chevy still alive?

Thanks for the update...this is great!

I bought a number of copies of this "Celsius: 41.11" documentary and give them to the best of my film students. Every great movement begins with one small step.

Thank you Citizens United!!!

A 'pig' would "feel more attractive, intelligent, and well-groomed. HA!" next to Michael Moore.

Well, if DU's indicative of any of Hollywood thinking, it should not be allowed and taken down immediately.

I heard David Bossie respond to this issue. Apparently, it was discussed with CU's attorneys and there is case law establishing that, once they entered into the political arena, likenesses used in the political arena are not subject to copyright, etc. protections.

(No, I'm not a lawyer; I thought about going to law school, but sobered up before I could enroll.)

In all the movies I have seen starring Chevy Chase ( I wont be seeing any new ones) he plays an idiot, I never really knew until last year he isnt acting.

And these are just a few of the more prominent boils on America's backside. Don't forget (how can we): zany professor Churchill and 90% of our universities faculties, Al Franken, Sheryl Crow, the Ditzy chicks, Margaret "Me Too!" Cho, that glib yahoo from Comedy Central (just to name a few 'lock-step liberals') every Canuckistani east of Ontario . . and all the other 'fearless individuals' reading from the same so-very-tired script.
