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.
The Facsist Left strikes another blow...
How is this different from that tactics of the Brownshirts in Germany, circa 1934?
You know...things could really get ugly before - and after - this election. Frightening.
Appeasement again. Is this theatre owned by Spain?

Anti-Kerry Film Withdrawn From Abington Movie Theater
Delaware Professor Threatens Lawsuit
ABINGTON, Pa. -- A film about Sen. John Kerry's Vietnam War years brought controversy to the Delaware Valley Tuesday.
Stolen Honor title"Stolen Honor" was due to play at the Baederwood Theater in Abington, Pa., Tuesday night and it was a sellout. But, citing possible civil disobedience and a threatened lawsuit, the theater's owner decided not to show the controversial film.
Carlton Sherwood is a journalist and the producer of "Stolen Honor." His is also the object of a civil suit filed by a University of Delaware professor, Dr. Kenneth Campbell. Campbell is a Vietnam veteran who says he is defamed in the movie.

"They've made him, who is an academician, an honest guy, who has been there, done that, all that kind of stuff and claim he is a fraud and never stood foot on the battlefield, who was making things up on the stuff. Dr. Campbell is not going to stand for it, nor am I," said James Beasley, Campbell's attorney.
Beasley said that in the movie, a voiceover covering film shot in 1971 when Campbell is seen as part of a veterans group protesting the war, the narration reads "they never set foot on the battlefield, or left the comfort of the states or even served in uniform."
Campbell said that he almost lost his life in Vietnam, and that is why he filed the lawsuit and threatened a lawsuit against the movie theater if the movie played there.
One woman came to the theater puzzled and angry, asking why she can't see the movie that day.
"Because John Kerry doesn't want you to see the movie. He doesn't want you to see any of this. This is a story he did not want America to see," Sherwood told the woman.
Sherwood showed up at the Baederwood Theater Tuesday and said that if the movie doesn't play, he will hand out DVD copies.
"This is all part of a smear campaign. This is all part of an effort to censor and to silence these POWs who have tried for decades, for decades now, to have one hour, just one hour to tell their story," Sherwood said.
Abington police said that they were never concerned about the possibility of civil disobedience because of the showing of the movie.

More publicity makes more people curious. This is good.

"Abington police said that they were never concerned about the possibility of civil disobedience because of the showing of the movie."
I think this will backfire as well. Let the viewing public see the fascists for who they are.
My thought exactly. Democrats, fascists, terrorists...synonyms.
Dang. If it would have been that easy to shut down Fahrenheit 911...
I’ve mentioned it before – I knew a guy that could vomit at will. He’d sort of look like he was concentrating really hard for about two seconds, then he’d puke.
I’ve often thought that that’d come in handy. Lots of times.
"One "vet for Kerry" was getting in the faces of many of the Bush supporters"
This "vet for Bush" would have shoved his frickin nose to the back side of his head had he pulled that s**t on me.
It should get ugly after this election! This has been equal to a mutiny in this country and if Kerry is elected it will be a mandate for these ugly liberals to continue their treasonous and seditious behavior.
That's one reason why I spend more evenings at my reloading bench.
Funny, I don't remember anything like this happening when that BIG FAT STUPID white guy had his movie showing in movie theaters all over America. What is wrong with this picture????
I thought the Democrats were all about tolerance. What gives?
Fascism = Nazism = Democratic Party Methods
ping
you know, the whole world should be outraged at this...when
fahrenheit 911 was in the theatres for the first couple of weeks, all the Democratic Party went to see it.....NOT ONE person bothered them....never was a showing canceled....this is a pathetic statement that the Republicans can be dogged and made to cowtow to these people.....we must be wussys
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?
ping
There is little difference between the Religion of Peace and the Party of Tolerance.
It's official now: Free Speech is not tolerated if you're not in line with the DNC.
Anarchy.
It's reaching scary levels. these are the would be Communists, the would be Nazis that are present in every society. The only thing that keeps them from taking over is the upholding of laws. They are turning that on it's head. The police should have protected the movie goers - not let the terrorists rule the day. Did I say terrorist. Yep. Meant it to. (Terrorism = the systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. ) isn't threat of violence, especially when it works, terrorism? We are in for a bad time,I'm afraid. These socialists won't go down decently.
That is the time when law enforcement needs to do its job.
As far as I know, no one made threats and attempted to
squelch "free speech" in the case of Fahrenheit 911. If
there were demonstrations, they were peaceful. This is
exactly WHY these people do not have the finesse to be
running this country. We endured the fluke of the Clinton
years, and suffered long with them; now I am sick of them.
They are afraid of the truth.
Oh yeah. None.
To be a Democrat one must learn to like kissing the whip.
I used to think the Republican were just more "grown up" than the Dems, so that's why we didn't cause problems for the lard butt Moore's movie watchers, BUT maybe it is time to question our tactics. Maybe it is time to stop being "wussies" and stand up for what is right and what are our rights. God help us if we let them "steal" this election by these childish tactics.
Hanoi Kerry getting really afraid of his past coming out.
The COWARD is still afraid to sign Form 180
AND the old media refuses to ask why.
Guess what Hanoi Kerry WE KNOW you did not get an honoarble discharge by yourself.
Did the peanut farmer give it to you?
Did a Yahoo Yellow pages search, and it shows no Baederwood Theatre in Abington, PA. You sure you have the theater's name correct?

It seems the good professor met with almost every Communist organization in Europe, while enjoying a kind of private Woodstock. He was in the Marine Reserves when he met with the North Vietnamese and other COMMUNIST groups!
Sound familiar?
A look over at DU shows that they PLAN ongetting ugly about it.
One guy even brags about his MOTHER having bail money ready for him on election night "just in case".

Un-by-God-believable!! Them damed brown shirts won another battle. I guess Sinclair has a yellow streak going down it's back after all.
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.
You're being too nice. He'd picking himself up off a hospital gurney if he'd pulled that crap with me.
yes, although it may be spelled Baderwood. It's in Jenkintown.
thats what I mean exactly.....we are always polite and come off looking like fools .. these Demos are like out of control psychos...everywhere they go they cause trouble.. and we just back off or take it....its TIME to stop that....its time to get on the talking heads shows and be TUFF as they are....TALK LOUDER AND DONT STOP talking....when we are attacked like this threatre thing, go to the threatre and have MORE people than they do and DARE THEM TO DO ANYTHING.....we are LOSING against their jackboot methods and its our own fault if we let them push us around......
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?
Since the Gestapo left decided it was.
From your peace-loving and open minded friends at the Democratic Party!
Does this DUmmy's mother have enough money to bail him out of the morgue, because that's what it could come down to.
