(DV) Nimmo: Kaloogian's Hooligans

(DV) Nimmo: Kaloogian's Hooligans: "Now that Move America Forward has changed hands, it is time to look at the new owner. WHOIS reports the new registrant and administrator as Howard Kaloogian.

So, who is Howard Kaloogian?

Kaloogian is a lawyer who previously 'served' three terms in the California state legislature. He is off to the right of Bush, if that is possible.

Kooky Kaloogian is perfect for the job of denying Americans the right to see Michael Moore's latest film, 'Fahrenheit 9-11.' He has plenty of experience. Kaloogian was behind the successful effort to intimidate CBS and stop the network from running the miniseries 'The Reagans.' For some reason Kaloogian believes this was a victory for free speech.

'Hundreds of thousands of Americans recently exercised their right of free speech and persuaded CBS Television not to run a mean-spirited and false miniseries about President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan,' Kooky wrote on the BushCountry web site. 'The liberals who are crying foul don't really believe their own spin that this populace uprising is censorship. They just cannot believe that there has been such strong opposition by the American public to seeing a prominent conservative leader defamed by liberal slander.'

It wasn't enough for Kooky and his pals to urge folks to simply not watch the program -- they wanted to make sure nobody saw it, even if they wanted to. This may not be censorship in the true sense of the word -- the government stepping in and stopping CBS from showing the series -- but it is the next best thing: a former government official mobilizing people to harass CBS until they backed down.
