- Michael Moore has been running around the country for
months showing his anti-Bush film.
-
- But when a local theater in Pennsylvania tried to show
the new film "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," the Kerry
campaign and lawyers friendly to it caused the theater owner to stop its
showing.
-
- "Stolen Honor" was to have been shown Tuesday
night at a local theater in Jenkintown, Pa., near Philadelphia.
-
- The documentary features 17 POWs who say Kerry's anti-war
actions in the early 1970s prolonged the war and their captivity.
-
- Apparently, the Kerry campaign sent out an urgent e-mail
last week to supporters asking them to protest the showing.
-
- After being threatened with litigation, the theater owner
decided not to show the film. Local Philadelphia radio station 1210 WPHT
1210-AM had been sponsoring the event.
-
- "Former Swiftees and POWs were to be given the red
carpet treatment, the whole nine yards," wrote Chronwatch.com in an
e-mail it posted to its site.
-
- "They just announced - within the hour - that the
premier here is cancelled because the theater was threatened with litigation.
Is this what free speech will look like under a Kerry administration if
he gets elected?" Chronwatch asked.
-
- Maybe.
-
- We hear that Carlton Sherwood, the producer of "Stolen
Honor," showed up outside the theater last night to hand out DVD copies
of his film.
-
- Pro-Kerry protesters also showed up and started to get
physical. Police were called to quiet their protest.
-
- Sherwood's Red, White and Blue Productions is considering
a lawsuit against the Kerry-Edwards campaign for improperly interfering
in the showing of the film.
