Hollywood Vandalizes Bush Billboards
Some in Hollywood are so angry with a conservative group for posting pro-Bush billboards in their town that they have vandalized them with graffiti – including a Nazi swastika.
For a long time, Hollywood claimed it was for diversity – but that apparently does not include someone expressing a conservative or Republican viewpoint.The Hollywood billboards posted by the conservative group Citizens United certainly express a viewpoint.
"W. Still President!" shouts one. Another taunts: "Four More Years!"
Both, tongue-in-cheek, jeer: "Thank You, Hollywood!"
Depicted beneath a smiling and triumphant President Bush, in solemn dejected ranks, are Martin Sheen, Chevy Chase, Sean Penn, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Affleck and Barbra Streisand – the salient of Tinseltown’s infamously backfired effort to keep President George W. Bush from a second term in the White House.
Citizens United sponsored the signs to coincide with the buildup to Oscar night.
That was apparently too much to bear for at least one disgruntled vandal, who painted a Swastika on George Bush’s forehead last week.
In the end, however, you had to get up pretty early in the morning to see the defaced billboard.
David Bossie, the president of Citizens United and the author of the new book "The Many Faces of John Kerry," says he and his organization were expecting such shenanigans – arranging in advance with the sign company that the billboards would be immediately repaired if damaged in any way.
The overnight damage was repaired within hours.
There are presently three billboards with the thank-you message – all in view of the Kodak Theater, where the Oscars are to be held later this month.
The group is scouting for additional locations to place additional billboards.
Bossie says that the billboards are set to be displayed for the entire month of February, which will have them proclaiming their painful-to-some message on the night of the Oscar awards on Sunday, Feb. 27.
Bossie told NewsMax on Tuesday that neither the media nor the Hollywood establishment "has found the humor in it." However, he adds, "I’m waiting to see if Chris Rock [the Academy Awards show’s controversial master of ceremonies] mentions our billboards; then I’ll know we penetrated to the mark."
When NewsMax asked if he or his organization had received any feedback from the stars panned on the billboards, Bossie hesitated, noting only that they had recently "received a note, but we haven’t confirmed if she sent it."
"We're taking on Hollywood. We've done it in the past," says Bossie. "We want to remind the Hollywood elitists that America supports President Bush on the war on terror and that Americans will no longer stand these elitists cramming their liberal agenda down our throats.
"Our Hollywood billboard campaign wants to remind Americans that these Hollywood elitists helped George Bush win by pushing their far left agenda."
That past includes producing "Celsius 41.11," a documentary exposing "the truth behind the lies of Fahrenheit 9/11," the Michael Moore anti-Bush documentary.
Citizens United describes itself as "an organization dedicated to restoring our government to citizens’ control. Through a combination of education, advocacy, and grass roots organization, Citizens United seeks to reassert the traditional American values of limited government, freedom of enterprise, strong families, and national sovereignty and security."
Bossie, former chief investigator for Chairman Dan Burton's Committee on Government Reform and Oversight in the U.S. House of Representatives, which investigated Whitewater and the Clinton scandals of the '90s, explains that one of the organization’s paramount projects is Citizens United for the Bush Agenda.
"It is the project through which Citizens United members work to enact key elements of President Bush's conservative legislative and policy agenda, including across the board tax cuts, complete elimination of the death tax, a strong national defense, deployment of a missile defense system, educational choice, and a reduction in government regulation and red tape."
Meanwhile, despite the recent brush with vandals, Bossie is relishing the upcoming big Oscar night: "The liberal celebrities will roll up in their limos and step out for the cameras and the paparazzi, they’ll turn to wave to their fans – and our billboards will dominate the backdrop!"
Bossie told NewsMax on Tuesday that it is his understanding that some groups sympathetic with his cause will be on hand at the theater to draw attention to the billboards and their message.
Unfortunately, I don't think he faired well on Hannity/Colmes tonight. And I did not hear him mention the rally. But I left the room a moment. Did he get a chance to?
Talk about bringing the pigeons to the cat! This is great! 
'Ping!'
well done!
DRUDGE: Bush Coins Phrase - Calls Iraq 'Purple Revolution'

Addressing a packed Hviezdoslavovo Square in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, President Bush today hailed images of “jubilant Iraqis dancing in the streets last month, holding up ink-stained fingers.”
“In recent times, we have witnessed landmark events in the history of liberty: A Rose Revolution in Georgia, an Orange Revolution in Ukraine, and now, a Purple Revolution in Iraq."

Oh, did you give some thought to my other question about FReepers participating via internet? Like...at the time you are on the streets, we could send Emails to the media - maybe even a "standard" one someone would write and we would all use the same message. Over and over! Deluge them with the announcement and our request for coverage, etc.?
They cover all those minority liberal demonstrations with such delight. Now it is time for fair and balanced coverage for the majority of Americans who elected Bush!
Don't ping me to this thread, Salem.
It has absolutely nothing to do with "Christian support for Israel" list (the only one of your Ping lists I belong to) and I don't appreciate having my message profile filled up with anti-Hollywood crap like this instead of articles pertaining to the defense of Israel against her enemies. What's the supposed connection?
I want absolutely nothing to do with the strong cinema ignorant strain here on FR. In fact, I detest the "protest Hollywood" zombies here *almost* as much as I detest Michael (fat commie) Moore and his ilk.
I will be happily watching the Academy Awards ceremony this Sunday (for my 12th straight year), rooting for Sideways, Million Dollar Baby, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to take home well-deserved trophies. Go Sideways for best Picture!

This is not an insult; it is a definition:What's the supposed connection?
"Everybody is ignorant. Only on different subjects." Will RogersFortunately, that ignorance is 100% curable.
Perhaps the media coverage of Hollywood's anti-Israel bias is some what limited in Alabama.A good place to begin your education might be HERE, from www.islamonline.net:
And from one of our many "Fight the CANCER from A.N.S.W.E.R." counter-rallies here:Movie Star Sheen Leads Thousands in Anti-War Rally
"We are telling the world that we are patriotic Americans but we do not support going to war with Iraq," Sheen said
LOS ANGELES, January 12 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) – U.S. movie star Martin Sheen on Saturday, January 11, led thousands of people in a rowdy protest march in Los Angeles against President George W. Bush's plans to wage war on Iraq.
Sheen, who plays a fictional U.S. president on the hit television show "The West Wing," called for Americans to fight for a peaceful approach to the Washington's crisis centering on Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported Sunday, January 12.
"A lot of people have been silenced for a long time but that is ending," he said.
"We are telling the world that we are patriotic Americans but we do not support going to war with Iraq.
"From this time forth, may all our thoughts and deeds be a non-violent response to violence," he told the cheering crowd in a presidential tone.
Police sources said that up to 6,000 demonstrators took part in a protest march and rally held in front of government buildings in the west coast city's downtown area, chanting "no blood for oil" and "stop Bush now."
Sheen, a veteran anti-nuclear campaigner who was the main speaker at the rally, has been one of the most vociferous opponents in Hollywood to Washington's policy toward Iraq...

On site today was a mobile resource in support of the U.S. and Israel.
Some of the best signs I've seen at our protests were present as well.

Yes A.N.S.W.E.R. is an international organization.
Here's the back of a sign that I flipped horizontally for presentation here.

(The camera caught the woman with the cup littering her straw wrapper on the star-studded sidewalk, and hence she is now an . . . ILLEGAL! ;-)
How you kept a straight face while interviewing all those idiots, ESPECIALLY the "well educated" furriners, I'll never know.
I don't think his girlfriend liked it when you kissed him. LOL.
That was really, really good. The editing was spot on and you really know how to speak to a camera.
Thank you, and thank you!
Curous about those pink boots though! :-)
There's a close-up of them at post 129 ... anything else you'd like to know?
= )
I'm surprised that the people you interviewed seemed more normal than I expected.
It's allll in the editing.
;^)
WOW Anna! You deserve invocation of the 'Ann Coulter rule'!! (wheres your pic?)
