MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) – Rick Winston says he’s not worried about the threat of a boycott from Georgia.
The co-owner of the Savoy Theater said he’s been barraged with e-mails in recent days over the theater’s plans to show Michael Moore’s latest documentary, “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
Winston said he has been getting 500-700 e-mails a day, many of them from the West Coast, the South and the Midwest. A private Web site and organization purportedly formed to support the war on terrorism has organized an e-mail campaign against movie theaters that plan to show the film.
Other sites, including Moore’s own Web presence, have launched a counterattack. The result of the two campaigns has filled Winston’s inbox to the brim with accolades, tirades and even threats.
