17. I may be in the minority here, but...
...I think it should be released.

First and foremost, I am a firm believer in the First Amendment. Sure, this movie is probably a bit thin in the facts department, but it is a dramatic film. To fight to prevent its release only gives more ammo to the wingnuts who claim that the media/entertainment industry is chock full of liberals, and that liberals believe in censorship.

I don't see the harm in releasing the DVD. After all, who's going to buy it anyway, save for Hannity fans, and they're already drinking the Kool-Aid.

Even Oliver Stone, far from being a wingnut, has been very vocal about letting this film be released.

I say release it, and let the marketplace decide.
