OK, I know this is hokey, but here’s an opportunity to make, at least symbolically, a statement by conservatives. Andrew Breitbart, one of Hollywood’s few conservative voices and creator of breitbart [dot] com (great site incidentally) has thrown down the gauntlet.  Matt Doman, Hollywood icon and consummate liberal, made the following remark to a Miami Herald writer, “‘He’s [Bill Kristol] an idiot — he wrote that we should be grateful to George Bush because he won the Iraq war. We! Won! The! War!”  In response, Andrew to this statement asked Kristol if he’d be amenable to a debate with the self-proclaimed foreign policy expert Damon.  Kristol agreed and, in return, Breitbart has agreed to donate $100,000 to Damon or a charity of the actor’s choice if he’ll publically debate Kristol.  Here’s where all of you come in - let’s up the ante.

First, I have the distinct feeling that Damon, like many of his Hollywood liberal cohorts, is more bluster than action.  It’s clearly easier for the likes of Damon to sit atop an ivory tower and sanctimoniously denigrate conservatives than it is to have an open and honest debate in a public forum. To do so might expose their staggering vacuousness on the very political issues they so confidently sermonize on when no one is there to challenge their assertions.  This is a condition that, sadly, afflicts too many Hollywood stars who seem not the least bit aware of their lack of political and policy knowledge - they voice their rather vociferous opinions all-the-same. Given this, let’s use one of the Liberal’s favorite tools to help move this project forward - sign the petition urging Damon to debate Kristol.  If, in the next several weeks we get a hundred thousand signatures I will forward this on to Breitbart.  Perhaps this will place enough pressure on Damon to follow-up up on his diatribes.

Second, click on the “Make A Donation” tab on the TSF sidebar and give until it hurts.  Every penny donated will go directly to the Wounded Warriors Project, which seems only fitting given the topic of the debate.

Thanks to Breitbart, this may be the one opportunity we conservatives have to directly engage Hollywood Liberals.
