Yes Tassadar, exactly like the mob.

Well, no, I don't see republicans going out shooting democrats or cutting all their fingers off.
However I've seen plenty of times where BOTH parties mobilize their voter base to get something done. Usually for the sake of putting people into office
And the Republican party just seems to be more effective at it right now than the Democratic party.
Also, with how twisted the democrats seem to be right now, I wouldn't be surprised to see them try to mobilize their base for some reason like this either. I believe if they had the power....They would indeed silence the Republican party completly.

And yes, I may be idealistic in this fashion. But for me personally, it disgusts me when people try to silence other people. Because it's like ignorantly attacking and harming something that quite a few people on this Earth don't have at all.

Hmm. Carl Sagan died in 1996.

Are there any living great Americans remaining? Probably quite a few, but I won't hear of them for a while.

Of course, the only living great Canadian I can think of is Margaret Atwood. Meh.

And CBS caters to them. Its well noted by David Letterman himself.

Here we go again with the "censorship" nonsense. CBS can run the movie and people who don't like it can boycott CBS, that's how freedom works... Ironically (or not), Repubs complain to high heaven about how they are boycotted in Hollywood with only the biggest Repub stars willing to express their views, so the boycotters are using the same tactic many on their side decry...what a surprise...

Of course, there may be a slight difference here. Liberal Hollywood may boycott Repub actors just for being Repubs where as CBS appears to be playing fast and loose with reality and facing the consequences of potentially deceitful behavior... and that destroys any moral high ground they may have in fighting a boycott...

to silence them is to begin a slip into despotism

Funny how for leftists free speech goes only one way . This was the same BS with the Dixie Chicks affair. People have the right to critique and THEN people have the right to protest that! It's called free speech.

Boycotts used to be standard operating procedure for the left. Now the right uses it and suddenly it is 'censorship'.

As reported by Drudge, CBS has heard the message of the people and has cancelled its upcoming movie on Reagan that was purportedly a smear of Reagan. Republicans had called for CBS to prominently label the movie as fiction. Rather than do that, CBS management apparently dismissed the movie's director and began to edit it themselves. However, they apparently realized that there was nothing they could do to fix the movie and simply decided not to run it at all.

And of course, with the movie still in production, Drudge and everyone else actually have seen the movie in it's entirety as it was planned to be presented.

God forbid that any portrayal of the GOP's mythical superhuman demigod be anything less than a GOP propanda piece of non-stop praise, with any unflattering references edited out.

Imran - it's a bit different to boycott sponsors or broadcasters after the airing, or if there's a pre-screening of the finished product than it is to start a PR, media and boycott threat, intimidation and what have you campaign before a project is even finished production.
