Censorship or Patriotism? Jane Fonda in the new movie "The Butler"?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33161points) August 23rd, 2013

A movie theater in Kentucky (of course) has refused to show the new move The Butler (released last week) because one of the leads in the movie is Jane Fonda (who plays Nancy Reagan).

The theater owner – a veteran – still considers Fonda a traitor because of her views and actions during the Viet Nam era.

If I lived in Elizabethtown, KY, I would not be happy with this guy imposing his views on me. Yes, there are probably other theaters nearby, but is it proper for him to refuse to show a movie on these grounds?

Didn’t the war end 40 years ago?
