SAN FRANCISCO "Bourne Supremacy" star Matt Damon (search), "Lost in Translation" actress Scarlett Johansson (search) and other celebrity artists are donating their talents -- not just their cash -- to an online effort to unseat President Bush.
The Internet political group MoveOn.org on Tuesday premieres 10 new anti-Bush ads created by award-winning directors and starring popular Hollywood actors. An independent group not connected directly to Democratic candidate John Kerry (search), MoveOn has promised an unconventional approach to the election.

Did this guy/gal write this with a straight face???
You know, like the Boston Globe.
We need a conservative hollywood.
Huh? Terrorism?
Sorry to hear about Matt Damon joining the soapbox Hollywood libiots.
I saw him interviewed with his buddy Afflect, and he said at that time that he stayed away from the political thing. Oh well, just another one to never get another penny of my hard earned money. No big loss.
Print out and wear as a Campaign Button or go HERE to print.
The good news to report is that most sports stars are patriots!
That's because they got their jobs through hard work. Liberal actors just have to (.....fill in the blank.....) the right person.
Hypocrite,liars,scum of the earth what have Americans become when alls we know is we just hate a man to allow our country to suffer for their sick hatred and ignorance. A majority of this country really are very very sick and these evil children of the Kenites(cain) need to be defeated.
Let's see what happens to these people's careers after November 4th. I never thought I'd say this, but this time I want to keep a list.
Do we have an official list on FR yet that people can refer to?
BTW, I'm not a radical about this: I know most celebrities are liberals, largely because they aren't particularly intelligent (many drop out of high school to get a start on their careers before they're judged "too old"), and a lot of them know with their meager talents and poor education, they could just as easily be the waiter as the guy at the head table. Of course, they think that getting rich is purely a matter of luck, not brains and hard work: in their world, it is. (And in my business, I deal with a lot of actors, so I know what I'm talking about). That's why I don't boycott, say, Tom Hanks. I know he made donations to Bill Clinton, and it's annoying, but what he does with his private money is his own business. But then, he doesn't get in my face and demand that I vote the way he does.
When they cross that line of abusing the access I allow them to my living room and start polluting the atmosphere with propaganda, I kick them out just as I would a drunken houseguest with a bad case of intestinal gas. Linda Ronstadt, for example. She was hired to provide an hour's worth of oldies music to divert nostalgic Vegas high rollers. If she's not competent to do that without alienating the customers, then can her. I don't want to hear that she's an "artist," and that gives her a special right to harangue a paying audience with her political views. She was hired help at that hotel, nothing more nor less, and was expected to provide the service she brokered to them.
If one of the waiters had climbed on a table and started making a pro-Castro speech instead of serving the dessert, he would have been fired and physically removed from the premises. The only difference between him and Ronstadt was the size of their paychecks, which means Ronstadt has even less of an excuse to screw up. /rant.
SPOT ON!!!
Need to circulate an updated H'weirdo boycott list again as a refresher.
Boo!
That's it Joe, send them back under their rocks.

MoveOn, Hollywood Team Up For 10-Week Bush-Bashing Ad Campaign
http://www.gopusa.com/news/2004/august/0824_moveon_hollywood_ads.shtml
Liberal online political action group MoveOn.org is teaming up with several Hollywood actors supporting Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry in a series of ten new political attack ads against President George W. Bush.
Boasting of its "continuing effort to combine grassroots activism with celebrity participation in supporting John Kerry's campaign for president," MoveOn.org said it is proud to have the assistance of Hollywood actors on its sid

Why is all this "acceptable", but the ads by the Swifties aren't?
Darn good question!!
I boycotted The Bourne Supremacy because of Matt Damon's pro-Democratic statements in the past. I refuse to buy a DVD of Scarlett Johansen's film "The Girl With the Pearl Earring" for that same reason. (I had rented the film before Johansen went public with her anti-Bush statements.)
