Hollywood Vandals Brand Bush a Nazi

Human Events ^ | Feb 18, 2005

[West Coast Conservative]

We previously reported the conservative group, Citizens United, planned to erect two pro-Bush billboards in Hollywood "thanking" Hollywood for Bush's reelection. As planned, the signs were created, coinciding with the buildup to Oscar night. However, one of those tongue-in-cheek billboards was seriously vandalized Wednesday night, when a Swastika was painted on President Bush's forehead.

Few Angeleans saw the disfigured sign though, since Citizens United anticipated the vandalism, and had previously arranged with the sign company that their billboards would be immediately repaired if, in fact, they were damaged.

True to their word, the overnight damage was repaired within hours.

Grace Kelly? Excuse me but the year is 2005.

Yeah, the 50th anniversary of 'To Catch a Thief'! Ok I should have said Al Pacino or something. :)

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? "Overnight damage repaired within hours" - was somebody watching the signs ..?? I sure hope so! It would be nice to make an example of these idiots.

And as a long time lover of Hollywood cinema I wish people wouldn't group Moore in with them. He's a loudmouthed outsider who Hollywood has wanted nothing to do with since his speech at the Oscars two years ago. You never see any of them hanging around with him. When I think of Hollywood I think Grace Kelly not Michael Moore. :)

Uh it ain't 1955, but 2005, and hollywood has become an anti-American hotbed.

John Gibson this weekend on Fox News is doing documentary called, IIRC, Hollywood vs. America, maybe you should watch it and it will drag you out of your time warp.

Also sorry to shatter your insulated world, but Rock Hudson died of AIDS.

That was before he was Michael Moore. At that time most people didn't know who he was. He gave a belligerent speech and got booed off the stage. I like contemporary American movies just fine. Has nothing to do with politics.

Sometimes I'm nothing if not blunt, and your response only spurs me to ask what you're smoking.

Are you trying to say they, the Academy, didn't know what they were doing? That they to a man never heard any of the controversy concerning Moore's "Bowling for Columbine"? For instance, taking Charlton Heston's words out of context, or acting like he could walk out of a bank with a gun in hand by signing up for an account, blah blah blah.

Yeah, right.

[mollynme]

I'm with you.

[bill1952]

That's pretty darn close to being an insult, but I see your point, and I just don't agree. 8^)

We did not degrade, scream, forge, f**k, lie and steal, to try and win an election.

We asked questions.

We did not appear on stage in imbecilic rants comparing Kerry to a female's private parts.

We did not direct and produce movies completely filled with outrageous falsehoods to slander an honorable man so as to elect our man.

We did not write filthy rap songs, or launch into drunken monologues to attack Kerry.

Billboards?? Hell, we should round them up and hang them from a bridge!

[Borges]

No, no, my point was that pre 2004, Moore wasn't the posterboy for Anti-Americanism he is now. He was just a leftist gadfly.

[no more apples]

I have to agree with you.

[PeterFinn]

"How about cameras to catch the perps?"

How about some salt rock delivered postierally via a .12ga shotgun?

That was my grandfather's effective way of dealing with trespassers and revenuers!!

[Borges]

The radicals get all the press. I worked in a film school and know that most people go into filmmaking because they love the medium. I love it too much to deny it to myself because of a meaningless twerp like Whoopi Goldberg.

[chapin2500]

"Not hardly"

When someone deserves to be beaten up you pound them into the ground, walk away and go about your business.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

If they think Bush is a nazi, what must they think of their poster boy, FDR, who interned American citizens and sent tens of thousands of conscripts to their deaths on foreign soils?

The hate America radicals have taken over hollywood and you wish to deny that.

[JoJo Gunn]

Bullcrap!

Anyone with their eyes open could see where Moore was coming from. Never mind that there were countless threads about Moore and "Columbine" here, but in the media there were countless articles and many threads on other various forums exposed him for what he was, before the Academy even nominated him.

They purposely and willfully sided with America hating hippies and thumbed their nose at the rest of us.

You haven't kept up very much, it would appear.

[PeterFinn]

"What do any those events have to do with the film making community?"

Don't get out much, I see.

[PeterFinn]

Well stated.

[chapin2500]

"Yeah, the 50th anniversary of 'To Catch a Thief'!"

Definitely a good flick. My favorite recent hollywood production is Castaway.

[Borges]

Who? When I think of the leaders of the American film industry I think of Spielberg, Scorsese, Tarantino, James Cameron, Clint Eastwood. What anti-Americanism? I see many movies every year and still love the U.S.

[Dog Gone]

I think we asked for this. This billboard is the perfect target for the loony left.

I think we asked for 9/11 by putting those towers in Manhattan. They were the perfect target for the loony arabs.

Howie Dean will create plenty of polarizing conditions.
Haven't anything seen yet.
