NewsMax: Kerry Campaign Stops Pennsylvania Showing of 'Stolen Honor'
NewsMax ^ | October 20, 2004 | Carl Limbacher and Newsmax Staff

Posted on 10/20/2004 1:38:41 PM PDT by Stoat

(edit) "...But when a local theater in Pennsylvania tried to show the new film "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," the Kerry campaign and lawyers friendly to it caused the theater owner to stop its showing. "

Apparently, the Kerry campaign sent out an urgent e-mail last week to supporters asking them to protest the showing.

After being threatened with litigation, the theater owner decided not to show the film. Local Philadelphia radio station 1210 WPHT 1210-AM had been sponsoring the event.

You got to hand it to the liberals. They sure believe in individual and marketplace freedoms, freedom of political speech and all that stuff, don't they now?? Impressive display of tolerance. This movie must be hitting a sore spot, scraping off a scab, and all those other trite phrases...

this whole thing is MUCH MORE SERIOUS than some people are
taking it. Basic rights are being infringed on and these
people are caving in to tyrannical tactics.

I googled and read the story elsewhere, but what is the basis for the litigation? Libel? Slander? Def of character? And how is it committed on the part of the theater chain? Of what was the litigation basis?

The questions that you ask were not clearly addressed in the Newsmax article. Although it takes an awful lot to conclusively prove a libel case, for a small business such as a local movie theater to be threatened by a lawsuit from the most deceitful and corrupt lawyers on the planet, and bankrolled by the Kerry campaign and George Soros, it's the same as being told "we are going to completely destroy you, your business, and your entire family and there's nothing you can do about it. It doesn't matter whether what we're doing is legal or ethical or has any basis in law. We will mount a litigation against you and the process of defending yourself will destroy your life." This sort of assault would cause most people to rethink what they are doing. It's one thing to stand on principle; it's quite another to become a martyr and have the lives of your entire family destroyed over a dispute in one Presidential campaign.

Stupid Tactic on the part of the dems

Only the faithful were going to see the movie and unless the MSM gave it publicity ( which wasn't going to happen) it wouldn't get to the general public

Now at least the local stations are reporting on the controversy

I guess. I still think it was more on the lines of "and we see your daughter [name] is looking nice. Tell them we threatened litigation or else."

This story has been picked up by an ABC affiliate, but they deny any campaign involvement:

Anti-Kerry Film Showing Canceled

A politically motivated film furor hit Jenkintown Tuesday night. Supporters of George Bush and John Kerry went nose to nose and neither side had any intention of backing down.

 

Nerves are fraying at the edges, and there are still two weeks before Election Day.

The emotion of this politically charged presidential election got the best of some people. People who came out to see the anti-Kerry film, "Stolen Honor" were already upset that management of the Baederwood Theater cancelled the showing after threats of civil disturbances. Ultimately the anger reached a higher level when Bush supporters clashed with Kerry supporters.

Dan Sweeney/SOMERTON:

"Did you see what he said in the senate? Did you see that?"

Bill Perry/LEVITOWN, PENNSYLVANIA:

"If you'd shut your mouth we wouldn't be arguing (slur)."
Sweeney: "What (slur)?"

Perry: "Give yourself a try. Come on. Hey. Hey. Hey coolaid."

Abington police had to move in several times to keep ardent Kerry and Bush supporters from coming to blows. This after the documentary "Stolen Honor" which was to debut to a sellout crowd of 600 people was cancelled."

Joanne Dalbey/WARRINGTON, PENNSYLVANIA:

"It denied me the right as an American citizen to see a movie that every American should have the right to see."

Ryan Sweeney/SOMERTON:

"I think it's terrible, I think it's ridiculous that they're gonna shut this down and at the same time they're gonna show Michael Moore the day before the election."
The producer of the film blames Kerry operatives for shutting down the showing of the film.

Carlton Sherwood/FILM PRODUCER:

"The underhanded coercion and intimidation tactics of John Kerry, here's my reaction, what is John Kerry so afraid of with this documentary?"
Kerry supporters were pleased the showing of the film had been cancelled.

Bob Fields/READING, PENNSYLVANIA:

"We don't believe it's an honest movie. Doesn't honestly state the positions of what he did."
"Have You Seen The Movie?"

"No, I don't I have not." Once again, police had their hands full...

"Go back to Hollywood and Michael Moore, go ahead."

"I live In Levittown fool. I'll stay here as long as I want to."

"You think so?"

"I know so."

"You gotta get a lot more weight to keep up with me son."

"You think so?"

"Yeah, I'll knock you right on your butt pal."

Incidentally the Kerry campaign claims they hadn't anything to do with the movie not being shown here. Refunds were given to those who had bought tickets and the producers gave out DVD copies of the film for them to watch at home.
