"Stolen Honor" Showing Canceled Due to Threats to Theatre
Self

Posted on 10/19/2004 4:46:44 PM PDT by Scarpetta

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.

That's exactly what I was thinking! But then the left would be screaming about brownshirts. Of course, that term doesn't apply here. /s

Maybe she should go to the local mortician and prepay his funeral.

Sounds like he is looking for trouble.

It is hitting the Internet BB's fast. Here is a post from one of them. This will backfire on Kerry. Tell people they can not watch something and even those that never would have gone to see it will want to watch.

"Stolen Honor" Showing Cancelled Under Threat of Litigation
Tuesday, October 19, 2004


Jim: (not our Jim)

I don't know if you've heard this yet. "Stolen Honor" was to have its premier in a theatre in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia, tomorrow night. Former Swiftees and POWs were to be given the red carpet treatment, the whole nine yards. It was sponsored by WPHT 1210 The Big Talker in Philadelphia. They just announced--within the hour--that the premier here is cancelled because the theatre was threatened with litigation. Is this what free speech will look like under a Kerry adminstration if he gets elected?

A look over at DU shows that they PLAN ongetting ugly about it.

One guy even brags about his MOTHER having bail money ready for him on election night "just in case".

Typical DumbocRAT...can't make his own money so he's gotta spend Mommy's. Hope she has enough sense to let his sorry butt stay in jail if he gets arrested.

I’ve often thought that that’d come in handy. Lots of times.

I've missed your point. Why would that deter the likes of these liberal fascists, not unlike the ones in San Francisco who have been known to do a "defecate-in" protest in their streets?

Well that thug at DU has shown a premeditated intent to commit violence and chaos. He has also engaged in a conspiracy to do so by sharing his plan with others of a similar mindset.

I hope the police are ready for the rampant vandalism and mob violence that will occur the day after the vote. The DemonRats will be uncontrollable, ravaging people and property as they attempt to destroy President Bush's victory!!! Check your guns, and keep your powder dry!

Channel 6 News stuck around the longest...won't watch Channel 6 news any longer since Vern Odum began his "news" coverage of the Republican Convention by announcing "the Republicans began their meeting to crown George Bush here today in a closely-scripted infommercial...".....

Regarding threat of litigation. The theatre owner has to stand on his hind legs, show some balls, and run the film.

I was told by those turned away at the door that it was cancelled due to threats against the theatre. I guess it makes sense it was a threat of a lawsuit.

However, why wasn't this lawsuit brought before the filmmaker decided to air it in a public venue? It smacks of 'rat tatics.

Maybe it is time to stop being "wussies" and stand up for what is right and what are our rights.

Remember during the Florida fiasco when a few Republicans knocked on the door after the Dems when to count in a closed room? They were dressed in khakis and loafers and called thugs by the press. They call Bush a right wing extremist when we all know a right wing extremist would not have signed the CFR, drug, education bills, etc. And tonight we can read this here but it will likely not get the same attention as the phantom voter suppression Jesse and the rest are claiming.

They seek to intimidate us, to label us something we aren't and to suppress the same kind of news they would run hourly if it involved a Dem. You are right, it's time to stand up.

Thanks so much for the video of he news. I just wish this would make the news - c'mon O'Reilly, you like scandal, this is a scandal that John Kerry is so afraid of his past that he won't allow a 1 hour video by the men he served with to air. Coward, Coward, Coward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
