Giving Hollywood the [PURPLE] finger: We need YOUR sign ideas for our rally at the Academy Awards!

"Shut Up, and ACT!" Hollywood conservatives plan "Rally for Responsibility" at Academy Awards (2/27) ^ | February 22, 2005 | RonDog, rantblogger [and YOU!]

[RonDog]

Calling all creative FReepers (and lurkers)!
The L.A. Chapter needs YOUR advice.

As many of you know by know, the Hollywood Resistance Force
(also known as the L.A. Chapter of the Free Republic Network)
is planning a "Rally For Responsibility" outside this year's Academy Awards.

FReeper rantblogger has suggested that we bring GIANT foam hands to the rally,
with the index finger painted PURPLE...

...to show OUR solidarity with the brave Iraqi voters,
and to remind the leftists in Hollywood that if they had THEIR way,
Iraq would not now be free.

"We support the actors, but not their mission!"

[LA Woman3]

Is the red carpet a show of support for the red states? : )

[RonDog]

"We support the actors, but not their mission!"

LOL!

WE SUPPORT
THE ACTORS
BUT NOT THEIR
MISSION!

[rantblogger]

I think that's Moore getting a brown finger, not a purple one.

[rantblogger]

February 3, just for for the record.

[RonDog]

LOL!

There will be plenty of glory after this FReep -- for EVERYBODY to share.

[GOPJ]

Any job a 10 year old can master in few months is a low skill job.

Hollywood -- Don't tell Bush how to run the country and he won't tell you how to play make believe.


Get Real. Court Jesters aren't Statesmen.

[GOPJ]

Actor -- If a 10 year old can master the job in a month, it's a low skill job.

Hollywood -- Don't tell Bush how to run the country and he won't tell you how to play make believe.


Get Real. Court Jesters aren't Statesmen.

[GOPJ]

Actors:

Your marriages don't work
Your lives are dysfunctional
Your job's so easy a child could do it -- and they do...
And now you want to run the world?

[unsycophant]

"Million Dollar Crybabies"

[rantblogger]

Song for the rally?

Liberals saw the billboard mockin' up in the sky
Exposing Michael Moore and his big fat lies
Libs commenced to pointin' and they cried, hoo-eee
It looks like a purple fingered FREEPer to me!

It was a darn-right, so-proud, smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
Darn-right, so-proud, smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
A darn-right, so-proud, smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
Spreadin' democracy

Limos cruised Hollywood filled with celebrities
All begging "Hey you Purple Fingered FREEPers, don't FREEP me!"
We heard them whine, all without any tact,
sayin' "We don't want to just shut up and act!"

It was a darn-right, so-proud, smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
Darn-right, so-proud, smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
A darn-right, so-proud, smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
Spreadin' democracy

TV asked "Hey Purple Fingered FREEPers, what's your line?"
We said FREEPing freedom everywhere all of the time
But that's not the reason that we came to Hollywood
We wanna rub all your noses in it real good

Well Dubya once, Dubya twice, smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
More red states, again in '8, smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
Hey France, You're Next! - friendly purple fingered FREEPer
Spreadin' democracy

On marches liberty and votes in Afghanistan
There's a vote in Iraq, next stop in Iran!
It makes the actors crazy when we remind them all
It was courageous Reagan who said "tear down this wall!"

Well Dubya once, Dubya twice, smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
More red states, again in '8, smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
Hollywood, You're Next! - smilin' purple fingered FREEPer
Spreadin' democracy

And then we went on our way and then what do ya know
There's fat Mikey again on a TV show
He was sobbing real loud, rallyin' the left to hear.
Just try it buddy... and we'll FREEP you NEXT year!
