I Have a Funny Feeling the Nutbags are Gonna Cause...
trouble somewhere...of a serious nature I mean...at some theatre showing "Fahrenheit 9/11." Look for them to start ramping their shit up over the course of the next week!
By the way, the theatre chain that's showing it where I am isn't even on their hit list. However the state I live in is only showing it in four cities.
I'll be taking my 8 year old neice, and God help the first one of these slimeballs that gets in my face!

1. One theater in Boise, Idaho
is showing it. I haven't read about too many issues like that here. Maybe this cities right wing fundies aren't as bad as yours.

13. Boise's right wing fundies are usually Mormons.
They would be all for impeaching the Chimp, if they could figure out how to get Orrin Hatch nominated as his replacement. Or Shit Romney.

2. My guess is that there will be some trouble
But hopefully nothing that will make the paper. A couple of people showing up at the theater to yell at the liberals and that's it.

I could be wrong, but many of the people who would want to do something are cowards.

4. Well...these dumbfucks aren't beyond causing trouble at women's
health clinics, why not a movie theatre? I've a feeling that a lot of these theatres may have beefed up security!

3. It will look like one of those Freeper rallies...
...with three fat old ladies in lawn chairs, holding illeigibly scrawled cardboard signs.

I'll offer to buy them a ticket, so they can see for themselves.

7. I doubt it will help their cause if they do
The people that think they are right are already too far gone and then moderates who still haven't decided will think they're nuts for harassing people seeing a movie.

8. My local Edwards (Regal) cinema..
...already has lots of security on a regular basis, especially on the weekend. I have no worries that anyone will do anything stupid, at least at that theatre. I think that trouble will be a real possibility at those cinemas that don't tighten up security for at least the first weekend showing.

9. pretty funny exchange on freeper radio this morning...
....the new guy at the right-wing nutcase station was ranting about Moore;'s movie , calling it '90 percent lies' and such. A couple of callers came up with even weirder crap and then one guy took him to the woodshed.
"Have you seen the film?"
"No, I don't intend to give Michael Moore any of my hard-earned money."
"Then how can you..." and so on. the caller let him have it pretty good and then the host went on another sputtering rant of a couple minutes.
Finally the caller said "You're an asshole." which made it onto the air, sending the host into convulsions.

10. I hope someone starts some shit with me
I'll smile and piss em off. They live for getting under the skin of people. And if they try some stupid shit like assault, good. One more convict that can't vote.

11. Actually i don't think you'll see
more than a smattering of inbreds protesting at theaters. Look at all the pro-war rallies that Clear channel tried to have and hardly anyone showed up. Many freepers are all talk, no action unless theres a box of hostess snack cakes around, but thats based on the pictures i've seen of many of them.

12. I doubt it ...
they would be vastly outnumbered and these assholes are not known for personal courage.

14. I carry a concealed handgun
I wrote a liberal-leaning column for 5 years for my local alternative weekly and got multiple death threats from Republicans against myself and my wife and kids. I know many of you may not like the idea, but I got myself a concealed carry permit. These days I am fully prepared to defend my family when we're out in public. I hope I never, ever have to even think about using it. I will be carrying discreetly when my family and I attend Friday night's screening. That's how worried I am about the right wing. Don't ever think they wouldn't kill you to keep you from exercising your rights. They threatened the lives of my wife and children because I wrote thiings they disagreed with. I'm sure they'd threaten to kill any of us for attending this movie.
