Why can't Dems show "Tour of Duty" on TV, if
Sinclair airs an anti-Kerry film? I saw the Tour of Duty author on C-Span last night. I haven't read the book, but apparently it's an historian's view of Kerry's tour of duty and the book that "inspired" maddog Hoffman to start the swiftie movement. Tour of Duty was made into a movie.

Can't the Dems get that on TV? Too costly? Not enough time? I mean, I was thinking, it'd be great if we had our own movie, besides F9/11, when I saw this author on C-Span. I thought...well, there it is! A movie made to order, already done and released!

What about F9/11 on pay per view? Not enough people would view it? (I know my relatives in La. might watch it if it came on regular TV, but they wouldn't pay for it; they usu. don't do pay per views, anyway.)

1. No network would air it.
No one has the GUTS to go against the fuhrer. IMCPO, a F 911 pay per view airing is NOT the same as FREE network TV. People will have to pay $10.00 to see F 911. MANY more people will see the anti-Kerry slime piece because it's free. Sinclair will be stopped ONLY if the FCC stops them. We shall see. For some odd reason I have no faith in the repuke FCC.
