'Fahrenheit 9/11' To Be Shown At Polling Site
Resident Plans To Take Issue To Court

POSTED: 10:17 am EDT October 15, 2004

ELYRIA, Ohio -- A hot-button film is getting multiple viewings at a local polling place the week before the election, NewsChannel5 reported. Some say the West River branch library should not be playing politics.

Library user Jim Pengov is seeing red.

The library is a polling place on Nov. 2 and the controversial movie critical of President George W. Bush is set to air three times the weekend before the election.


"They just got a one-mill levy passed. Taxpayers, like it or not, are paying for Michael Moore to spread his rhetoric at an official polling site two days before an election -- in a key state," Pengov said.


Librarian Debby Kressa said she is surprised by the complaints.

Kressa said the move came in and she just wanted to accommodate all the people on a waiting list to sign the movie out, so she thought it would be a good idea to show the film in the library's movie room.

The library posted an announcement that "Farenhype 9/11" will be aired as well. Officials are hoping that this will provide political balance for airing "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Pengov said because the library is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization he will go to court next week to try to stop the library from showing the movie at a polling site.

Well if they are showing both films, I really see no problem. "Stolen Honor" is being shown on Nationwide T.V. as well. Should we be outraged over that also?
I know Moore is a lying sack of manure, and that his film is a piece of Propaganda so fulll of holes it makes the Titanic look safe to sail on in comparrison.
Just saying, I can not complain about a Library showing both F-911 and Farhype 911. They are being pretty fair and balanced in doing that.

Madame Librarian is a moron. Or she thinks we are. Let me guess: she will begin showing Farenhype on Nov.3rd? Give me a break.

She cannot do that, and that's all there is to it. The courts will put a stop to it, and then the good folks of Elryia should fire Madame Librarian, immediately.

Sheesh. When does the stupidity stop? Heck! I would be happy if it would just take a 10 minute break.
