I just came from the Baederwood Theatre in Abington, PA where "Stolen Honor" was to be shown to an expected full-house. Upon arrival I was told that the theatre canceled the show due to called in threats of violence.
There were about 100 people milling around outside the theatre, mostly Bush supporters, when I arrived. The Bushies were rightly indignant that we couldn't see the film and the sKerry supporters were almost gleeful in their posturing.
One "vet for Kerry" was getting in the faces of many of the Bush supporters, and had to be separated by the police more than once. There were three television news crews recording the skirmishes between the two camps, and reporters jotting down their stories.
The filmmaker, Carlton Sherwood, was there and gave on-camera interviews. The reporters also took about a dozen interviews from both sides of the fence.
There was about a dozen "Vets For Kerry" there, most of them wearing uniforms. I noticed the cops making faces to them as if to say "aren't these Bush supporters a bunch of wankers?" There was one young man (about 19) holding a sign "jingoism doesn't work." Talk about a wanker.
The "Stolen Honor" people handed out DVDs and videos to anyone who wanted one.
This will be a big story on the local news tonight because of all of the heated arguments captured on film. For all in the Delaware Valley viewing area, Channel 6 News stuck around the longest. I'll post any articles from the local papers tomorrow.
BINGO! See my posts #76, #89 & #93.
Born ready.
That is very good advice ..
I get the feeling he's going to be in ALOT of trouble that NO amount of bail money or bond is going to fix.
I don't remember hearing of any showings of F911 being cancelled due to threats. Just goes to show who the really dangerous ones are!!
"we are LOSING against their jackboot methods and its our own fault if we let them push us around"
You are so right on, ABC! It seems like I miss out on all the fun :-( I dare one of these bullies to get in my face. There will be undesirable consequences. This is my country they are Hitlerizing and I will defend her to the death.
True.
Hopefully the person he is referring to with his implied threat knows he is a threat and is ready for his abusive behavior.
"...BUT maybe it is time to question our tactics. Maybe it is time to stop being "wussies" and stand up for what is right and what are our rights..."
DAMNED RIGHT! It's time to fight, f@*k, or hit the fence. Let's join the battle. I prefer to fight the dimoCRACKS. Enough already!!!!!
This is how nasty and disloyal Kerry is: O'Reilly just had two ex POWs for Vietnam. The one guy explained how Kerry's anti-war antics and testimony was used to threaten him and other POWS. So, the next guy, ex-POW, ex-Ambassodor to Vietnam? comes on and calls the first POW a liar basically and says that he doesn't remember any of the things the POWs of "Stolen Honor" are saying happened, happening and that he even crossed paths with the first POW.
John Kerry has two ex-POWs having to come on TV and "try their case" one even calling another a liar, and who is staying clean and not getting hit with any of the S*IT that is being slung around? JOHN KERRY!!!!!!! The man should go to _______ for what he is doing again to the Viet Vets. Damn
I knew that from your posts, RF, over the years.
What's coming will dwarf Election 2000, and the resultant legal challenges, court-ordered re-counts, and massive voter fraud will finally corrupt and crash the system. The coming Civil War II is going to get very, very ugly.
My prediction:
Bush - 44 states, 336 EVs
Kerry - 6 states, 202 EVs
Lock 'n load.
On your predication - from your e-mail to God's eyes.
Simple explanation? Most conservatives abide by Judeo-Christian principles; liberals don't.
"Turn the other cheek" will be "Turn the other fist" if these libs continue down this path. They think they can mock Christians with impunity ("Who would Jesus bomb?"). They have a distorted sense of what Christians are; we realize we're still sinners, they think we believe we're sinless. We don't. We realize knocking the ever-loving crap out of a liberal is a sin, and a sinner might just do that.
THEY WILL STEAL THIS ELECTION THIS TIME SUCCESSFULY TO DESTROY WHATS LEFT OF THE FABRIC OF AMERICA !
and angry at the side that it would possibly try such an antic of facistic censorship.
I said that because we don't know what the situation is so we shouldn't be judging people's motives, and we don't know to what extent the threat was real .. but from the looks of the goons that showed up .. it wasn't good.
People also need to realize that any threat to the theatre could have been a threat to the moviegoers - hmmmm?
If I had been there .. I would be filing a complaint with the police dept for their actions at the scene. They're supposed to remain neutral.
This guy echoes you, N, every Friday I read his Journal.
I agree with you .. this story has caused me to reconsider buying the DVD too .. just to spit in the eye of those goons.
Are we looking at another "Krystol Nacht?"
