David Horowitz's campaign against Al Gore and the Oscars
Edited on Thu Feb-22-07 11:46 PM by Nikki Stone1
This email has just been sent out. He's not only gunning for Al Gore but for all the Oscar nominees.



This Sunday's Oscar ceremony is shaping up to be the most partisan, left-wing awards show yet. If you're tired of Hollywood's liberal agenda and would like to see films made that celebrate America, Israel, and conservative values, then please read to the end of this email and join our cause.


Al Gore's misleading documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" (which blames global warming on America) is nominated for both the Best Documentary Oscar and the Best Original Song Oscar. Gore is the favorite to win, and some say it may even re-launch his chances of a presidential run in 2008.

"Letters From Iwo Jima," nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture, posits a moral equivalency between America and Imperial Japan during World War II, while the Oscar-nominated "Flags of Our Fathers" depicts the American war-time government as greedy and corrupt.

"Jesus Camp," nominated for the Best Documentary Oscar, ridicules conservative evangelical Christians.

"Children of Men," nominated for three Oscars, is about a heroic illegal alien who tries to save the human race, and the racist conservative government that is trying to deport her.

"Babel," nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, depicts Americans overseas as arrogant, racist, and abusive to foreigners.

If you're as disturbed by this as we are, you have a chance to make a difference. For the first time since Ronald Reagan left Hollywood for Washington there is a voice in Hollywood to counter the political left. The Liberty Film Festival is Hollywood's first pro-American, pro-Israel, conservative film festival and cultural organization. Its purpose is to create the kind of film product of which Americans who love freedom and love their country can be proud.

The Liberty Film Festival has screened 75 pro-American, pro-Israel conservative films, of which 46 have been premieres and 20 films have achieved theatrical or DVD distribution. Many of these films were created by young, up and coming conservative filmmakers specifically for the Liberty Film Festival.

Successful films launched at the Liberty Film Festival include "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," which had its World Premiere at the 2005 Liberty Film Festival and went on to be aired five times on Fox News the weekend before the 2006 election. Also, Joel Surnow, creator of "24," launched his new hit conservative comedy Fox News show "The Half Hour News Hour" at the 2006 Liberty Film Festival, where it received thunderous applause. The Liberty Film Festival was also instrumental in promoting ABC's "The Path to 9/11," the outstanding miniseries that bravely depicted Clinton's failure to capture Bin Laden.

The Liberty Film Festival has been tremendously successful, but it needs your support! The need to help conservative filmmakers is more urgent than ever before. Filmmakers who are attempting to show pro-America, pro-Israel, and anti-terrorism films to the public are being censored, silenced, or shut out.

It is critical that Americans like you support the Liberty Film Festival and the brave conservative filmmakers countering the anti-American propaganda of the Hollywood Left!

The left understands the stakes. On opening night of the 2005 Liberty Film Festival, left-wing protestors rushed the stage of the Pacific Design Center and tried to attack me as I introduced the film "Brainwashing 101" which is about the left's efforts to indoctrinate students on American college campuses. The protestors screamed "Fascists have no right to free speech!" "You have no right to free speech!" They had to be tackled by members of the audience to prevent them from doing me bodily harm. Their message couldn't have been clearer: in Hollywood, conservatives have no right to free speech.

The festival has achieved a tremendous success so far, but it needs your help to expand its efforts and make its impact greater still. The Hollywood Left has taken a side in the fight - and so can you, by supporting the Liberty Film Festival. The festival depends on individual donations. Please help the Liberty Film Festival by making a donation of $25, $50, $100, or $1,000 today.

Support our filmmakers by giving as generously as possible. You can make your tax deductible charitable gift by following the highlighted links right now!

If you want to send Al Gore and the Hollywood Left a message at the Oscars, then support the Liberty Film Festival and these brave conservative filmmakers today!


My Sincere Thanks,

David Horowitz

1. The pathetic right is becoming so desperate
and hoping to bleed every cent they can from the ignorant right while they can. Gore is a beloved world Statesman. The best the right has is a guy who once thought a tball court at the WH was a top national priority.

5. Honey,
What sort of film should I pick up from Blockbuster tonight?

Could you pick up something that's pro-American, pro-Israel and conservative?

Why yes, thanks to David Horowitz, I can.


Thank you David Horowitz!

7. If there's a market for the sort of drivel that Horowitz supports,
people will just FLOCK to see the types of films that Liberty Film Festival promotes.

Remember how many theaters were reluctant to show Fahrenheit 911 because they were afraid of being anti-American? Remember how many changed their minds after seeing the sellout crowds at the few theaters who would show the film?
