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

In actuality xzins, yes it is. The courts are an arm of the government and if a person can use an arm of the government to squelch free speech then the constitution is violated. Free speech is abridged when there is a THREAT of a lawsuit. It is the courts themselves that communicate and administer that threat on behalf of the person making it. The fact that such a threat is possible is evidence that there are laws on the books that may be in violation of the constiution, otherwise there would be no legitimate threat.
The democrats have become what they profess to hate. THEY are the brownshirts.
