Hollywood Vandalizes Bush Billboards Near Oscars
The Hollywood billboards posted by the conservative group Citizens United certainly express a viewpoint.
"W. Still President!" shouts one. Another taunts: "Four More Years!"
Both, tongue-in-cheek, jeer: "Thank You, Hollywood!"
Depicted beneath a smiling and triumphant President Bush, in solemn dejected ranks, are Martin Sheen, Chevy Chase, Sean Penn, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Affleck and Barbra Streisand – the salient of Tinseltown’s infamously backfired effort to keep President George W. Bush from a second term in the White House.
Citizens United sponsored the signs to coincide with the buildup to Oscar night.
That was apparently too much to bear for at least one disgruntled vandal, who painted a Swastika on George Bush’s forehead last week.
There are presently three billboards with the thank-you message – all in view of the Kodak Theater, where the Oscars were held last night.
When NewsMax asked if he or his organization had received any feedback from the stars panned on the billboards, Bossie hesitated, noting only that they had recently "received a note, but we haven’t confirmed if she sent it."
"We're taking on Hollywood. We've done it in the past," says Bossie. "We want to remind the Hollywood elitists that America supports President Bush on the war on terror and that Americans will no longer stand these elitists cramming their liberal agenda down our throats.
"Our Hollywood billboard campaign wants to remind Americans that these Hollywood elitists helped George Bush win by pushing their far left agenda."
Meanwhile, despite the recent brush with vandals, Bossie was relishing the big Oscar night: "The liberal celebrities will roll up in their limos and step out for the cameras and the paparazzi, they’ll turn to wave to their fans – and our billboards will dominate the backdrop!"
