Remember When Tea Partiers Threatened to Blow Up UK Theaters to Protest the Bush Snuff Film in 2006?

[boedicca]

Now that movie theaters in the U.S. are being held hostage over "The Interview", do you remember when Tea Partiers did the same thing in 2006 to protest "Death of a President", the Bush Snuff film?

I don't remember that either.

That's because The Dick Cheney stopped 'em in their tracks. He wanted the film to run.

Matter o' fact he made sure of it by jumping into his man-sized vault, firing up the time machine app and shooting them into the future so that they wouldn't even exist until January of 2009.

Or Hillary screwed up and morphed into 'Citizens United'.

Yeah the Tea Party is better than Kim Jong Un. You should set the bar higher

Just doing my part to remind people of the damaging moral equivalency mindset which is tearing America apart.

Have a nice day!

And it's an astute comparison. I made that point in C_K's thread about having it both ways.

The difference between these two movies is that people are actually going to head to theaters (for some reason) to watch this movie. The Death of a President movie made only $900,000 worldwide! It was panned by both sides of the aisle and was a total flop.

Also....I suspect that this attack on Sony is financially rooted....check their competitors.

That's only a commercial difference, which matters to nobody but the producers.
Somehow I doubt whoever these hackers are did what they did because they don't want a producer making money, so that's apples and oranges.

This isn't at all about commercial viability -- this is about censorship by terrorism.

Didn't NK freak out before over that cartoon movie? Funny thing here is they're keeping on with the hack and threats and not a word from DOJ.
Or someone is using this guise.

No, I don't, because there was no Tea Party movement in 2006.
