Sacramento Billboard CHENEYED


A Sacramento billboard drew a lot of attention Tuesday after it was altered to show a quote from President George W. Bush that was included in the controversial new Michael Moore movie.

The billboard near Land Park Drive and Broadway, which was originally for Baskin Robbins, was changed to show a quote from President George W. Bush.

The quote -- "A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it" -- was included in the film "Fahrenheit 9-11."

KCRA 3 contacted Baskin Robbins about the billboard.

A company spokeswoman said the company had been made aware that one of their billboards in Sacramento had been defaced and that they were "taking steps to remove the billboard immediately."

The billboard is close to the Tower Theater, where "Fahrenheit 9-11" is playing.

KCRA-TV 3, 29 June 4

8. Note: It's a Clear Channel billboard
Look on the top.

In the Cleveland area, there are very few billboards without the "mark of Satan".

27. It's beyond that. It's literally state media. A branch of the BCE itself
Clear Channel would have never existed without Bush Criminal Empire money.

Here's how it works....
