A barrage of billboard messages expressing gratitude to Hollywood for its "help in re-electing George Bush is about to hit Tinseltown.
And NewsMax hears Hollywood elites are not happy with the development.
Citizens United, headed by former Whitewater investigator David Bossie, is set to release this week three billboards in view of the Kodak Theater where the Oscars are to be held later this month.
The billboards will with a touch of sarcasm "thank Hollywood for helping to re-elect George Bush.
The ads will feature such liberal celebrities as Michael Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Chevy Chase, Barbara Streisand, and Sean Penn -- all of whom the billboards credit with the President's November victory.
In the two versions of the Citizens United ad, both thank Hollywood for their unwitting help in returning the President to the White House.
One of the ads expresses gratitude for "4 more years" and the other says with glee "W. Still President."
Already word of the billboards has Hollywood in a tizzy and the Citizens United campaign has been featured on CNN and Fox News.
Making the experience more painful for the disappointed Hollywood big wigs is the location of the three billboards - their proximity to the Kodak Theatre, home of the Academy Awards.
Worse, the billboards are set to be displayed for the entire month of February, which will have them proclaiming their message on the night of the Oscar awards on Sunday, February 27.
The billboards are the creation of Citizens United, a group that advocates a return to traditional American values.
Said Citizens United President David Bossie "We're taking on Hollywood. We've done it in the past."
That past includes producing "Celsius 41.11," a documentary exposing "the truth behind the lies of Fahrenheit 9/11," the Michael Moore anti-Bush schlockumentary.
Citizens United said they may place more of the billboards around Hollywood and Beverly Hills if the public supports their efforts.
Gotta see it ping. Pix at post #10
Bossie wants the whiney like pukes to sue him. (Para Fox) the idiots lost their protection when they became political activists. HEHEHE
Bravo. These billboards work 24/7 to make the people around them aware of the liberals, we know so well.
The Hollywood puss-faces depicted look like candidates for a police lineup of serial child molesters. Whoppi SlimFast ex-spokesthing (ach).
Elites, you're kidding. The only difference between these scum-bags and your local scum-bags is that the Hollywood scum-bags have money.
Good post!
*snicker*
Nice work, team. Time to back to headquarters for debriefing and cocktails.
Just thought you might like to know nonplussed means perplexed. Webster's Colligate copywrite 1975

FR type Sarcasm: Ya gotta love it!
We like the way you think!!! Except we'd need a camara to record The Red States Funniest Home Videos!
In-your-face Bump.
Give me 10 million to one odds, and I might take that bet. Wait. Better make it 20 million to one.

Salt. Wound. Schadenfreude.
Martin....Ping!
So much for any hope of a Reagan tribute at the Academy Awards, sigh.
Let's see how much Hollywood REALLY believes in freedom of speech!
I hope he doesn't have a problem with using these stars images. I'm sure he checked it all out .... hopefully.
