This "rally" (not "protest") started as a way to promote THIS clever billboard:

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.

Also, as I posted previously, I am not advocating government censorship, or even necessarily free market retaliation against the films created by these Hollywood leftists.

But I **do** believe that "to whom much is given, much is required."

See, for example, the message that I promoted at a PREVIOUS Oscar FReep:

LA SLIMES' NOTABLE OSCAR QUOTABLES --
NICOLE KIDMAN ON ONE SIDE... AND FR'S "RONDOG" ON THE OTHER!
LEFT ANGELES SLIMES

So I finally start going through, page by page, the Oscar coverage in today's Slimes (that's right... still reading it so that you don't have to). And then I almost had a heart attack.

The "E"/"Calendar Part 1" Section is dedicated to Oscar coverage, E1 starting it all off with a big pic of Best Actor winner Adrien Brody smooching presenter Halle Berry and the beginning of the story.

Following it in to E2 and E3, there are a bunch of huge picture of various winners from the night, the top of each page prefaced with a huge bold quote.

On the left side (heh, heh) is one quote:

"Why do you come to the Academy Awards when the world is in such turmoil?

Because art is important."

Nicole Kidman, accepting the best actress award

On the right side (in more ways than one ;^) is another quote:

"If John Wayne were here, he'd be doing what we're doing.

He'd be supporting the troops."

Ron Smith, demonstrator at Hollywood and Highland

What Would Elvis Do???
LOL!
Elvis was my SECOND choice for a sign...
We KNOW what Elvis did, from www.top40-charts.com:

ELVIS JOINS THE US ARMY

By the end of 1957, Elvis Presley was the unchallenged King of Rock'n'Roll. With nine US chart-topping hits behind him achieved in less than two years, he was the hottest item on any menu, but that very fact may have strongly influenced the US Government in their insistence that Presley should be drafted for national service in the US Army...
