"Stolen Honor": freep the database Dems want to use for censorship
Kos and Ko ^ | Kos and Co.

Posted on 10/11/2004 8:10:40 PM PDT by Pajama Blogger Reader

The kind folks over at Kos have put together a database of companies so that democrats can censor ... er.. I think they prefer the word 'boycott' ... Sinclair Broadcasting affiliates and advertisers in an effort to prevent them from airing 'Stolen Honor', the documentary about Kerry's antiwar activities.

Censorship by any other name is still censorship.

Freep their database and let the advertisers know you support the airing of this program.

Saw an executive of Sinclair being interviewed on CNN. Sinclair is already backtracking. I don't think it will air.

"Censorship" is what governments do. Anything else is freedom.

This will be a big victory for the dems if Sinclair retreat. How sad. CNN just showed that sKerry is leading Bush in poll 49% to 48%. This wont make my night easy.

Boycott Sinclair Broadcast Group
Return Home
Use this listing of local SBG affiliates and their advertisers to help prevent SBG from airing the anti-Kerry "documentary". Form more information, please see the home page.
A note (plagiarized): We need to really be careful here - Dan's RV center in Sacramento has been getting threatening messages, and the NYT had an article yesterday about the hate mail they've been receiving from the Left, it adds up to an ugly picture. We are bigger than that. Many of these people are ON OUR SIDE - don't be an asshole when you call them. Invite them to join in us in defending our democracy. If you don't know how to express yourself strongly without making threats then we do not need you help. Remember that there are real human beings on the receiving end of your letter, often a secretary - these are the people Democrats represent so don't take your anger with a right wing CEO out on some poor soul who makes $9/ hour answering phones - it just isn't right.

RE: Stolen Honor


To Whom It May Concern,


It has been brought to my attention that many supporters of John Kerry and John Edwards plan to boycott Sinclair Broadcasting Affiliates for fear that you will be showing "Stolen Honor" a movie that apparently depicts John Kerry in an unfavorable way regarding his Vietnam Anti-War activities. This is in effect a form of censorship and I hope that Sinclair is above this type of blackmail. I strongly urge you to show this movie as I and many others in this nation should have the freedom to watch this movie. I thank you for your time and hope that you will do the right thing.

Sincerely,

In a way, I wonder if they didn't do it on purpose. Look what effect it is having, so much publicity for the station and the movie. Makes the Dem's pissed, the campaign has something to worry about, looks like a major mind (you know what) to me.

Right on.......... The publicity is worth every cent, plus there will probably be other Broadcasts we don't know about yet, even if Sinclair never runs it....

So are we going to just give in??? Does them mean there is more of them than "us"... if so we should just fold our tent and go home... or we could all write to the sponsers that WE support Sinclair showing this movie and support the sponsers of Sinclair.

Well .. just because the exe doesn't come on like gang busters, doesn't necessarily mean he's backing down.

What did he say that made you feel he was backtracking ..??

to paraphrase, "no decision has been made", "we have made no decisions as to what SEGMENTS we would show", "no decision on the format...we have invited Sen. Kerry on the show, but he has not responded" etc. etc. Aaron Brown called him on it..."sounds like you guys are backtracking..."

So .. you're basing the "backtracking" on a leading statement by Aaron Brown ..?? LOL!!

I already knew no decision had been made as to exactly when .. or the format .. that they had invited Kerry - and he will not .. so this was NOT backtracking, just a restatement of what was already in a couple of article I read.

And .. I don't think it's backtracking at all.

Sinclair should be fair and balanced. They should show video of the protestors in NYC who have there little "BUSH == HITLER" signs and them burning the flag. Give the perspective from the other side of the fence.

Good grief .. a little touchy are we ..??

I didn't need to see the interview on TV. I had already read 2 articles about Sinclair's statements. It was the same stuff he said in the TV interview. But .. neither of the print media ask him if he was "backtracking". Only Aaron Brown would make such a comment.

Why would you construe this information as "confirming your high opinion of yourself ..?? What's that all about ..??
