In July the Australian Film Classification board refused to issue an exemption from classification for Bruce LaBruce’s feature film L.A. Zombie. While this latest work by the renowned Canadian director has since screened at prestigious independent film festivals around the world, the Board signalled that the film would likely be refused classification within Australia, effectively prohibiting the screening and distribution of the film.

Tim Proffitt's MySpace, etc.-Tea Party Brownshirt (Typical)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 28/10/2010 - 3:52am

Head-stomper, woman-beater Tim Proffitt of Paris, Kentucky: All about a typical Tea Party Brownshirt. Get inside the life of the head-stomper and inside his own head. It's all about prejudices discredited in the US decades ago, and their revival in the recent Southernization of the USA.

Scenes such as Tim Proffitt stomping the head of a Move On activist while one or two other "men" held her on the pavement at a Rand Paul for US Senate event remind me of scenes from the long ago past.
