Film assailing Kerry's antiwar stand to open in Abington

A radio host set up the showing. It is the same film that a broadcaster has told its TV stations to air.

By Daniel Rubin

Inquirer Staff Writer

Stolen Honor, the documentary that calls Sen. John Kerry's stance against the Vietnam War a "betrayal" of his fellow veterans, will have its world premiere Tuesday at an Abington theater.

It will be the first public showing of the 42-minute film, which the Sinclair Broadcast Group has instructed its 62 television stations to run before the Nov. 2 election, reaching nearly a quarter of the nation's households. Democrats are trying to stop its TV broadcast.

Spurred by Dom Giordano, the conservative talk-show host on Philadelphia's WPHT-AM (1210), the movie producer has rented a 450-seat room at the Baederwood 4 Theatre for a 7 p.m. showing.

The question is, what to do about it?

One thought I had is to take a bunch of enlistment forms and hand them out to all the age-appropriate repukes going in to see this piece of crap.

Anyone have other ideas?

1. If you can get a group together, make up some signs and picket the thing..
Make sure you have your talking points down, because the media will likely chat with someone from your group.

It's an assault on the American electorial system.

It's an opportunity to say:

"It's one long swiftboat ad, full of distortions and half-truths. Go see 'Going Upriver, The Long War of John Kerry' for a balanced view of that period."
