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.

I'm not sure if I can take 4 more years of Michael Moore.

Hollywood's always screaming about McCarthyism and free speech. Let's see how they react to this.

Mmmm mmm mmmmmm...I'm lovin it!

[Old Grumpy]

Excellent! I've been hoping for something like this. I mentally gave thanks to all those folks on November 3, 2004.

They did us a favor. We should all attend their movies. Not.

[BenLurkin]

Cleared use of likenesses with parties/attorneys holding rights?

[evets]

Ha ha

Camera angles out front will conveniently miss that in the background.

Don't be surprised if they find someway to shield it from the delicate eyes of the naive little people of Tinseltown.

Is it just me, or does that lineup look like a freak show.

#12. More like a rogues gallery on the right side of the billboard if you ask me.

This is not for commercial purposes, it is political speech, you can use the likenesses. If those people had not joined the political realm on their own they might have a case against Citizens United.

They really are an ugly bunch, even Bennifer does not look that great in the picture.

LOVE IT!! It must feel real good to do that! - Here, take it! (in your face...) I was thinking the same thing last night during the Democrats farewell to McAulliffe - I kept thinking... would not be nice to have some Republicans "Thanking him 'sincerely' for everything he had done for the DNC" and welcoming Dean as well ...

[Zeppelin]

The only good thing about Michael Moore is that he makes me feel like a better person by comparison. Every time I see him, I feel more attractive, intelligent, and well-groomed. HA!

They really are an ugly bunch...

That shot of chevy chase is priceless.
