"Stolen Honor" Showing Cancelled Under Threat of Litigation

"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?

Fox just reported this and had a snippet of the shouting match outside the theater between a Kerry supporter and a Vietnam vet.

If this were Moore's F911, it would sure be shown.

It's what it looks like now. If John F'em Ke(rr)y or another DemonRAT ever gets elected President, you'll see far, far worse.

Kerry is afraid of the truth being made public - just as simple as that.

I'm sure at least one of your ping lists would be appropriate for this film burning.

Earlier thread on this, and the violence the "Oh-So-Tolerant" Left™ here (a mere 4 stories down on the "Breaking" sidebar).

Lurch is trying so desperately to bury his past that he doesn't see the huge hole he's digging for himself.

Another example of 'Free Speech, as long as I approve of what you're saying.'

This was so predictable.

Sorry folks because I know the truth hurts, but let's all take a moment to thank George W. Bush for signing the unconstitutional Campaign Finance Reform law.

Didn't OnDemand drop Farenheit 911 from their pay-per-view selections out of fear of legal action and bad publicity?

Ref: We have truely entered the land of Nazi Germany - banned news, book burning, etc. etc.

And to think that our College Professors are heavily in favor of the Book Burner and the Censorship Police.

I always thought that they were the ones who opposed "Censorship". Or is that only when it involves Broadcast Pornography coming into our homes?

Free Speech is when the government does not permit speech to take place.

If a political party, a non-elected entity, sues a broadcast network over a particular broadcast, is that a violation by government?

This one is close to the line. It's not like the Dixie Chicks claiming that their fans have to swallow whatever they say.

It is a political party, which IS a protected entity in our law.

The other question is what they were sued for????

Has the theatre owner contacted the ACLU or other organizations?
