Hollywood left: owned

I really don't like political threads but you've gotta love it when trolling crosses over to the real world.

http://www.citizensunited.org/billboard/

Apparently these are already up out in public.

Its like children going "na-na-na-na-boo-boo". Fucking pathetic. These conservatives are just as much the poster children for fucking idiots.

Wow. The sad part is, the folks on both "sides" will never truly realize how stupid they are.

How about a "Stop being a sheep" billboard?

Or "There is more to life than 1 party platform"

When the left does it it's childish, but when the right does it it's supposed to be witty?

I think not.

Theyre right, though. Countless surveys taken in 2004 showed that people are really repelled when celebrities try to stick their nose into politics. And Kerry going to these celeb fundraiser auctions where Whoopi Goldberg said lame bush jokes and shit... that let the Repubs really paint the guy as a snooty Hollywood leftie.

Also, the hypocrisy of these celebs is glaring. Most of them live in California, in the hills above me, while the state is suffering through a deficit. They complain about Bush's tax cuts "for the rich" but theyre benefitting from them, and theyre not writing extra checks to the state or anything. Anyone remember when Kerry's tax returns came out, and it showed he paid the lower, mandatory tax rate for Mass. instead of the optional, higher one? While campaigning to raise rich people's taxes? One time O' Reilly called out Bill Maher on that, it was great.

But the whole point is that the Hollywood elite think that the "common man" is too stupid to see this going on.

You're making broader group generalizations and assumptions than remnant here.

Yeah, that's nothing like Arnold Schwarzenegger getting on stage and meshing his one-liners with Bush's agenda. Both were tainted by the cult of celebrity, it's just Bush only had a few 'celebrities' available to him. This whole 'Hollywood Elite' image was painted by the right-wing propaganda machine on talk radio and FOX News.

I could equally say that Bush and Co. are hypocrites when they stand side-by-side with Firemen, Policemen, Soldiers, etc. and then proceed to whittle away their salaries, healthcare, etc. You tell me which is worse.

You mean the same Bill Maher who said from day one he only supported Kerry because the alternative was too horrible to comprehend? Yeah, O'Reilly really snubbed him.

And so do the Corporate elite. Exploitation of the masses knows no party.

I fail to see how. My ears are still ringing from all the fuss the right made over Fahrenheit 9/11, yet when they resort to the same down-and-dirty tactics it seems like no one mentions it.

Your problem is that you're assuming every Republican agrees with these things and that they're all operating as one mind. All Democrats and independent parties didn't agree with Fahrenheit 9/11, either. Don't generalize entire groups based on the actions of others in that group. If that were the case, we'd think all black people were in gangs and robbed people.

Schwarzenegger is a governor. That gives him a place to speak on politics. Whoopi Goldberg is an overpaid idiot.

The sad thing about that billboard is that of all those actors the one who speaks most elegantly about politics is Ben Affleck.
