Theater chains not showing "Fahrenheit 9/11"

Ya know, a few weeks ago I couldn't spell "Fahrenheit"...

Okay, I can understand why Fridley, the first chain, doesn't want to show the film. There are certaintly arguments that could be made for Fahrenheit being propaganda. I don't agree, but that's aside the point.

GKC, however, has a stick up their collective ... well, you know.

First off, we aren't really at war. Terrorism is more of a fight against international crime than it is a war.

Second off, while it is important for the people of the nation to support their troops and all, it is important for them to know that the guy in charge is a good person.

Rowers on a boat may only need to know how to row, but they should also know that the pilot is a good one. So to not show the movie to show a united front is just absurd.

Oh, and regarding the amazingly non-specific terror warning Ridge made today/yesterday, Dems have been saying that the warning was made to get the focus off of the Kerry/Edwards ticket. They're saying, by jove, that the Bush administration is doing this for political reasons!

Well, duh. Every single thing the Bush Administration does has some political undercurrent.

To be fair, same with the Clinton Administraiton. And Bush Sr. And Reagan.

And just about every other President in the modern era (since WW2 at least...).

Get over it. Its only a matter of degree now. Decide for yourself. Just don't pretend it doesn't matter.
