"We believe in Michael Moore's freedom to make this movie," Kerasotes said. "We trust that our customers will recognize and respect our own freedom to choose not to show it. During a time of war, the American troops in Iraq need and deserve our undivided support."

The movie industry normally serves up nonstop violence and titillation. Who the HELL do they think they are, deciding what is and is not appropriate for people to see?!?!

After informing the chain that F/911 is ALL ABOUT supporting the troops, and NOT the madman who is murdering them, I think that democrats in the areas served by this chain should exercise THEIR freedom to never patronize this cinema chain again, and encourage their friends to do likewise.

1. But if it was a movie with Ahnold killing ragheads,

they'd have it on every friggin' screen they own!!!

Did you see Carlyle Group BOUGHT a movie theatre chain last week? Exactly how does that fit in with their defense investments!!!

Defense... Against the sword of Truth!!!

4. They are just following the Totalitarian Policy of Total control

of all aspect of national life.

At least, that's how FDR phrased it when describing the Busheviks of his day...the Nazis.

7. This is laughable:

"Kerasotes said that her company-the 15th largest theater circuit in the United States-would decide to show Moore's movie, once the war in Iraq is over.

"If we were not at war, this film would be playing at GKC," Kerasotes said."

The very nature of this "war" means we will ALWAYS be at war. Fucking twit.
Thank God Orwell didn't live to see his predictions coming true.

8. Boy...she's one brainwashed

republican. How disingenous can you get? She obviously hasn't seen it..only listened to the reichwingers.. What war? WE invaded and now the transfer has been completed.

Or is she talking about the endless war on terror that bush started?

I hope this freakin' backfires and when it comes out on DVD in September from Sony ..that the People she censored it from ..go out and buy F9/11 en masse.
