I live near Memphis, Tenn. Michael Moore is supposed to be bring his movie F11 at New Salem Baptist Church on Saturday, October the 16th. This is also a polling place and the polls will be open during the movie. Something is just not right here.

"Who cares if a bunch of liberals get together at a library . . ."

I do. . .and moreso as it is a polling place.

We have let these Libs thumb their noses or worse - at our Constitution; our laws. . .rules. . .

Their 'no rules of engagement' style of 'playing politics' has moved beyond the pale. I say stop their incivil terrorism now.

It is only viewed and believed by the Kerry Kool-Aid Drinkers KKAD.

Somebody needs to show Fahrenhype, then.

Hello,

So, the little librarian is "just trying to be helpful, you know, this is simply a community service, and I am surprised that anyone is upset about little old me, just trying to be helpful..."

These people are beyond insane.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

They are doing the same thing in the Bradford County Library in Pennsylvania. "Fahrenheit 9/11" is being shown and such "literature" as "Bush's Brain" being reviewed "every Saturday, 'til the election".
Apparently their turnout is so small that they are not considered to be making any impact. President is hugely popular in this county and will carry it easily. Wish we could say the same for all of Pennsylvania.

read the article, they are. IMHO both acts are wrong to do
at a polling place, but whatever. dims will be dims.

[CyberAnt]

Most of these librarians are liberals.

I wonder if she did the same thing for people who were on a waiting list for a conservative movie .. I think not!

These people are so shallow .. they actually think we are so stupid we will believe whatever they say.

A hot-button film believed by some to be anti-Bush...

That's as far as I need to read. If the reporter doesn't recognize Farfromtrue 9/11 at anti-Bush, then I don't need to hear what he has to say.

[CyberAnt]

Celcius 41:11 or Stolen Honor is political balance.

Ask the library gal if she plans to have special showings of Stolen Honor - I didn't think so!

Call your local RNC office and scream bloody murder!!

I live in Ohio - about 35 miles from Elyria. They just announced on the radio today that some man is filing a lawsuit against the Library to stop the showing of F 9/11 since he says taxpayers fund the library and this movie is definitely biased against Bush. I hope the lawsuit is enough to stop the library from doing this, but what can you expect? Libraries, like our wonderful schools, are filled with a majority of liberal whiners.

[KiloLima]

Libraries, like our wonderful schools, are filled with a majority of liberal whiners.

Absolutely. So, the list of leftist institutions in the country goes: media; schools (from K up); libraries; more and more "churches"; the courts; the legal "profession"; the State Dept. and the CIA; most other government agencies including state and local; even the military with their writing "workshops"; Hollywood.

Is there anything left, I mean right?

Thanks for the support! I am the man that filed the suit. Two key points.
1. Fahrenheit 9/11 is not a documentary. The DVD contains the following disclaimer "The following interviews and commentaries are for entertainment only"
2. The move violates public decency laws if it is shown in public. 1 hour 38 minutes 37 sec. the film shows a soldier touching the genetailia of a corpse. The scene is explicit which is ok for a documentary but not for "entertainment only"
I have a viewing guide that details all the graphic language and violence. I had to make it for court. I also filed an affidavit to the same effect.
The library has decided not to show the film before the election. If I have my way, my tax dollars will never be used to show that filth to children.
The media just likes the political aspect better so that is how they spin it. Both are key issues.
Thanks again for the support. Public objection hindered the library e-mail system and they now screen phone calls to see if the caller lives in Elyria. Any person that pays tax in Ohio is paying for this filth so call the library all you want and tell them that levy supporters gave you permission to complain when they attempt to screen you.
