Kerry Campaign Stops Pennsylvania Showing of 'Stolen Honor'
Michael Moore has been running around the country for months showing his anti-Bush film. Story Continues Below 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.
