Hollywoodies Are Such Predictable Hypocrites

Remember recently when the conservative group Citizens United purchased billboard space in Tinseltown in plain view of the Kodak Theater, home of the upcoming Academy Awards show, rubbing the noses of the Hollywood Left in George W. Bush's re-election and their unintentional but inevitable role in helping hand their hated boogeyman a second term? Well, it seems that one or more of those lefties have reacted as we've come to expect:

Some in Hollywood are so angry with a conservative group for posting pro-Bush billboards in their town that they have vandalized them with graffiti – including a Nazi swastika.

For a long time, Hollywood claimed it was for diversity – but that apparently does not include someone expressing a conservative or Republican viewpoint.

CU, however, is having the last laugh by thinking several steps ahead:

David Bossie, the president of Citizens United and the author of the new book The Many Faces of John Kerry, says he and his organization were expecting such shenanigans – arranging in advance with the sign company that the billboards would be immediately repaired if damaged in any way.

The overnight damage was repaired within hours.

Not only that, but....

The group is scouting for additional locations to place additional billboards.

Bossie speculates on whether or not Chris [BLEEP]ing Rock will mention CU's tokens of bipartisan esteem during the Oscars telecast. Ordinarily I would think not - why hand your adversaries free publicity and let them know that you're getting under their skin? - but given the manic state of mind of libs of all stripes these days, CFR may not be able to help himself.

"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."

And the only riposte they can muster is obscene graffiti and vandalism. My, how the pompous have fallen.

I'll have to watch the Parade of Arriving Pampered Potentates (PAPP) segment this Sunday evening to see how the cameras manage not to capture any of CU's political valentines. If Bossie and co. blanket the vicinity heavily enough, the glitterati may have to slink in the Kodak's back door instead.
