Next week’s CPAC attendees will be rubbing shoulders with their conservative heroes, but they’ll also get a chance to see a high-profile liberal and possible challenger to Mitch McConnell: Ashley Judd.
Judd plays First Lady Margaret Asher in the upcoming movie “Olympus has Fallen,” a film in which North Korean terrorists take over the White House. According to CPAC’s schedule, the movie will screen at the Friday night of the Conservative Political Action Conference, the annual blockbuster conservative event that this year takes place March 14-16, in National Harbor, Md., near Washington, D.C. It will air in CPAC’s theater, which is sponsored by Citizens United.
Okay even though this movie features EXACTLY the kind of national security fear mongering that the Right Wing depends on to attract supporters, AND it features one of their new boogeymen North Korea, I still find it odd that they would screen it for this convention. I wonder if there is some calculus?
“The production company approached us and it looked like a good movie and we put it up, we’re not putting any money toward it,” said Jeff Marschner, a spokesman for Citizens United, who added that they have not yet reviewed the film, but that “there’s no calculus.”
Really? There is NO other reason for showing this film other than "the production company approached us?" Which by the way also sounds like bullshit. There MUST be some other motivation.
“I think she dies in the first two minutes,” he added.
Aha! I knew it!
Somehow I seriously doubt that it is a coincidence that the movie CPAC is showing has a death scene featuring one the "Hollywood liberals" they fear the most in it.
I guess they were afraid to show one of her films where she appears topless knowing full well that the horny, Viagra snorting old men in the audience would all start to give money to her campaign en masse.
So pathetic.
P.S. You can see the trailer for the movie here. If you are so inclined.
And these moronic cretins will think of it and treat it like a documentary.
ReplyDeleteWhy are these idiots so afraid of "A tiny Hollywood starlet."
ReplyDeleteThese idiots are so immature. AND that is reprehensible!!! Who put these pre-teens in office? Shame on all yall who voted for them.
ReplyDeleteThat is funny. C4P is advertising sex and dating services on their website! I guess help their pimp daddy out.
ReplyDeleteYou know, they have to really see her as a threat to be slagging her this much before the election. The thing is, she and her family have been dealing with this kind of sh*t for years. She can withstand the hate. She can win.
ReplyDeleteAre they (the rethugs) too stupid to realize that it's only a movie? She doesn't die in real life! Yeah, my brother-in-law says "Not all republicans are stupid, but all stupid people are republicans!" and I find that to be true.
ReplyDeletePretty creepy - shows how scared they are.
ReplyDeletePalin cult members will be fighting over who is better looking in 3... 2.... 1..... because of course their priority is the hotness factor. They vote with their dicks.
They're going to keep this up and she will run and win.

Funny headline. It reminded me of that Johnny Cash song about Folsom Prison recorded live in a prison. The inmates cheered when he sang the line, "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die."
ReplyDeleteThe "production company" is Millennium Films, and when you click on the link for Millennium Films at the "Olympus Has Fallen" Wikipedia page, it opens to a page for Avinoam "Avi" Lerner. He's a 65 year old Israeli-born film producer, primarily of American action B-movies (I wonder if he's as gullible as Elan Frank).
ReplyDeleteAfter watching the trailer, I couldn't help thinking "Olympus Has Fallen" is a bad knockoff of one of Bruce Willis' "Die Hard" movies coupled with Harrison Ford's Presidential movie "Air Force One".
The movie essentially shows the destruction of the symbols of our national government: The White House, the Capital buildings, the Washington Monument. What's not to like for a bunch of neocon right-wing nuts attending CPAC?
I see the immediate thought of someone else on this forum, was that the dipshits who attend such a delusional gathering, will think it really happened.
ReplyDeleteAfter we all saw Romney expose how he suckered into Fox propaganda about the Benghazi thing, and had to be bitchslapped back into reality during a debate, there have been other embarrassing moments for the rightwingnuts.
Someone from Fox needs to send a memo out to the effect that,
"Psst: don't forget that all this insane shit is what we are scaring the LITTLE PEOPLE with! You must not let yourself be taken in, and repeat something that will make you look like a total boob."
