The left's months-long assault on the film "An American Carol" has been shameful, albeit not a surprise. They've used lots of different techniques and tactics in this assault. This morning, we received news of another one:
I thought you'd be interested to know that in Santa Monica, there were theatres showing American Carol over the weekend, but they didn't put the title on the marquee. Also heard that a projectionist in Santa Monica showed it off--center on the screen. The same person said that her friend's ticket didn't even have the name of the movie printed on it. I wonder if that means ticket sales weren't reported?
I don't know why I'm surprised they'd stoop to this level; they are the movement of destruction.
Anyway, I loved it . . . (HT to Los Angeles Conservatives Alliance)
Another report just came via email a moment ago:
I'm gathering evidence from my Midwest team with photos of box offices showing the film rated R in Oklahoma. That deters attendance. Has anyone else encountered this?
Many conservatives simply aren't aware of how bad the left truly is, how low they will go. Conservatism has fewer activists in its ranks. Many just go about their business and then vote the right way on Election Day.
That is no longer acceptable. This is total war, and it's time for all conservatives to get involved.
Oh, and don't anyone give me lip about this being overwrought, that these were just the acts of a few kids vis-a-vis one movie. It's true these were just footsoldiers, but the left has them everywhere, and they're constantly acting. A lot of damage can be done by one man running through the night. You, as a conservative, are on that target list. You, your career, your reputation, your money—whatever gets in their way.
For those who are generally conservative but not particularly active, we understand, we truly do, why you are the way you are. Politics is annoying and ugly. You have jobs, families, church, and lives. But the left is engaging in massive vote fraud. The media is dragging a lightweight marxist across the finish line. And they won't even let one conservative film in a sea of liberal ones have its moment.
It's time to get in the game.
From what I've heard the theater will give you a ticket with the name of another movie listed on it, thereby falsely lowering the ticket sales for "An American Carol".
At other theaters, they hvae changed the rating from GP-13 to an R.
What will camp Obama's footsoldiers do if he loses? If he wins?
I wonder what will happen when the Fairness Doctrine is brought back and inforced. Will that include audio streaming on the Internet? That is, if we can't listen on the radio, can we still listen online?
“It’s the supporters, stupid!”
As I’ve said elsewhere, Obama is not the cause, he’s the symptom. Without supporters like these, he’d still be organizing communities in Chicago.
We ARE in a war, and it’s time to start acting like it.
does anyone have photographic proof to share?
remember during passion of the christ, they were issuing DIFFERENT ticket stubbs for the movie.
Imagine what they will punch when oliver stones crack dream hits theaters at the same time.
Saw AC last Sunday at Sawgrass 23 in Sunrise Fl, hilarious.
The movie title was NOT on the large marquee. I didn’t look at the tickets though. About a dozen people in the theater. The movie poster was up though in position 1 for which theater it was in.
A friend of mine that owns a theater told me that they don’t make money on movie tickets, they break even. They make their money on the concessions sold. So, if you go see American Carol and the theater does not have the movie on the marquee, shows it off center, etc., don’t buy snacks from the snack bar. I don’t believe in sneaking in snacks, but if you only promise to eat them if the theater doesn’t play fair, then I think it would be okay.
