"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.

I'm beginning to think the same way. As someone recently said, anyone who seeks to bite the hand will find himself with a mouth full of fist.

Sounds like censorship of free speech and freedom of the press.

Question# 1 - Does Kerry reject this form of censorship???
Question# 2 - Will he call upon his Party not to infringe upon constitutional rights?

"DU was proud of this earlier... called it winning through freedom of speech. Since when are threats and intimidation considered exercising one's freedom of speech?"

Since the Gestapo left decided it was.

Does this DUmmy's mother have enough money to bail him out of the morgue, because that's what it could come down to.

Dems are being revealed for the embarrassment they are. Mindless sheep, following their leader. Does anyone wonder why we call them kool-aid drinkers?

I have heard that some threats are flying around if Bush is selected, not elected again. I think even if Bush wins by over 10%(please GOD) they may still riot because they are already making plans and getting fired up.

Dunno.
It was mentioned on a thread at DemUn where they were grousing about being depressed.
One DUmmy said they had to get drunk every night to be able to sleep without having panic attacks.

Notice how FOX DOES NOT COVER THIS!

Notice how FOX does not ask why Hanoi Kerry won't ask for his Form 180

Notice how FOX wouldn't know a REAL story if it hit them in the face.

FOX We report, We decide for Hanoi Kerry

No kidding. Just shows the level of "maturity" of these liberals. Can there be any more proof of the chasm between libs and conservatives? To be a Democrat would be an embarrassment.
