Meet the Pro-Censorship Left

Left-wing documentarian Robert Greenwald is attempting to stop the filming of an unflattering portrayal of JFK. He is not content to criticize the film once it comes out. He wants the project strangled in its crib so that no one ever sees it.

Freedom of speech for me but not for thee.

The George Bush-hating Greenwald says this is nothing short of the smearing of an American president.

"It's not fair to demean (JFK) for a political agenda," says Greenwald, who would never ever, ever do anything like that.

Even CNN's Howard Kurtz seems to enjoy the irony.

poor greenwald, sucks when free speech works both ways. While its apparently going to be a historical drama and portions may not be true, it still makes you wonder how Kennedy would be perceived had his administration had been during the cable news/internet/blogger age - camelot or spamalot?

On a side note, is there anything worth watching on the History channel anymore? After watching that "After People" special and seeing ads for "Pawn Stars", I swore off the channel as it didn't seem to meet the original intent of the channel.

If it's based on fact, bring it on.
We should be mature enough to want to see our leaders, warts and all.
