A Georgia theater canceled their live broadcast of Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Courage” event at the last minute after theater officials learned the topic, nature and host of the event.
The Dahlonega Tea Party booked the Holly Theater in northern Georgia to host a viewing party of Beck’s Jerusalem event last month. According to the Dahlonega Nugget, when theater officials saw Beck’s name and that the broadcast was about Israel, they canceled the contract five days before the event, saying they were not allowed to “support one person’s opinion over another.”
“This has been political since it first came out, and they have not invited anyone to offer another opinion,” Geoffrey Kridel, the theater’s executive director, told the Nugget. “We are forbidden by the Internal Revenue Service to allow or support any political organization to the exclusion of others.”
Restoring Courage was never intended to be a political event, and was not. But Geneva Betzold, the theater’s board chair, said hosting the screening would “open the door for every other political and religious group to come to the Holly.”
“This not only has political ramifications, it has religious ramifications too, with Israel as the subject,” she said. “And it would make a lot of people mad.”
Additionally, Kridel claimed the Tea Party “misrepresented” the true nature of the event when they booked the theater.
“She said they wanted to view a GBTV event. We thought it was Georgia Broadcasting. I just discovered it was Glenn Beck Monday night,” he told the Nugget. “There was no disclosure of the actual nature of the event. I didn’t even know it was about Israel until Friday.”
Dahlonega Tea Party co-founder Emily Lewy isn’t buying their reasons. She called canceling the contract “an intentional effort to denigrate the Tea Party.”
“They did not know the difference between GBTV and PBS. They alleged that renting to the Tea Party, to anything affiliated with Glenn Beck or to anything connected with Israel would be discriminating against some other party that should have been given equal time,” Levy said. “Their excuses fell flat. Being inept does not excuse discrimination.”
No politicians were invited to the screening, and audience members of all political beliefs were welcome, she sad.
Details about the event were also not kept secret: According to the Nugget, the Dahlonega Tea Party had been advertising the screening on their mailing list for nearly a month, it had appeared in the newspaper‘s community calendar section and was listed as an official viewing party on Beck’s website.
The theater provided one last reason for canceling the contract — because Betzold, the board chair, never signed it, the contract was “null and void.”
But Lewy claimed the theater was “not in the habit” of requiring the chair’s signature until now.
The organization said it does not intend to pursue legal action, but wants the breach of contract known.
“That we are being discriminated against is a big issue,” Lewy said. “And we’re not a bunch of radicals. We’re a very proper bunch.”

Report Post »Just keep crying about the Tea party. Don’t bother to educate yourself about the similar perspectives you may have in common. For example, both the Democratic and Republican parties are not representing the people. Keep believing the BS that media feeds to you. Attacking or belittling those who are voicing “their” opinion by calling them names is not going to work in your favor. Voice your opinion, debate, and agree to disagree if that is the case. The freedom to be able to do that, and not be bound and gagged, is one reason that makes us Americans.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 9:38pmTHE VISION OF POPE LEO XIII
Exactly 33 years to the day prior to the miracle of the sun, on October 13,
1884, Pope Leo XIII had a vision. Here follows an account of that vision:
According to the most widely accepted version of what happened, On October 13, 1884, after Pope Leo XIII had finished celebrating Mass in the Vatican Chapel, attended by a few Cardinals and members of the Vatican staff, he suddenly stopped at the foot of the altar. He stood there for about 10 minutes, as if in a trance, his face ashen white. Then, going immediately from the Chapel to his office, he composed the prayer to St. Michael, with instructions it be said after all Low Masses everywhere. When asked what had happened, he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he suddenly heard voices – two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following conversation:
The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasting to Our Lord: “I can destroy your Church”
The gentle voice of Our Lord: “You can? Then go ahead and do so.”
Satan: “To do so, I need more time and more power.”
Our Lord: “How much time? How much power?
Satan: “75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.”
Our Lord: “You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.”

My Christian friend, I am afraid you are terribly misguided. Please refer to the teachings of your Bible, rather than Catholic leadership. Read the Book of Romans, carefully, especially Chapter 2. You will find that, as you condemn the Jews, you condemn yourself. You are on an eternally dangerous spiritual path. I pray that you and those like you find religious truth through a personal relationship with God, rather than the pseudo-truth of salvation through intermediaries. Please redirect your efforts towards the real evil and enemies of Christ, truth, freedom and justice. Read Romans, repeatedly. In the meantime, please refrain from proselytizing and attacking friends of Israel.

I realize that if you type a controversial word or use profanity you should expect it to be censored. But, most of my posts are the least proactive and usually very respectful. One of my more recent posts was deleted and it was completely benign, which makes me think that sometimes it is just accidental or glitches in the system.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 11:44amCowards. Why don’t they state the real reason they cancelled. It goes against THEIR politics. They pulled the usual liberal ploy of blaming it on being misled, a technicality and ‘rights’. I encourage everyone that is as put off by this nonsense as I to boycott the Holly….at least until it’s under new management. Cowards.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 12:07pm2 hours north of Atlanta, in the mountains – great place to pass through… Pretty conservative area, actually. Sounds like the ‘artsy-fartsy‘ contingent doesn’t understand their customers base very well.
Report Post »Let me see if I have this right: They cannot ‘support’ a political point (show many Hollywood movies, do they??) but they openly rented the theater to THE TEA PARTY. Yeah, that holds water… not.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 3:09pmThe theater does not have to allow any event if they choose. That said, they should have found out more about the event so that they wouldn’t have cancelled at the last minute. They could have said no in the beginning if they had done their job properly. If they are worried about being associated with a certain group or opinion, then it is their responsibility to find out the content of the event BEFORE agreeing to host it.
