'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 believed by some to be anti-Bush 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.
"Initially, I was floored," said Pengov, an Elyria resident.
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.

This library needs to be stormed by pro-American forces.
The F911 plan is not working so well, why don't we try it some more. Idiots.
Fahrenhype is not political balance. Bush should pay a visit to this town. That would be political balance.
Why not just put up Kerry/Edwards signs outside of the building as well?
Liberals are so funny. They don't realize most of the people in this country are smart enough to see through their lies. Who cares if a bunch of liberals get together at a library and jerk off as they watch Micheal Moore's fat ass.
Bump.
Didn't you just see Team America?
;-)
Believed by some? Some? I nominate this sentence for an Understatement of the Year award.
boycott the showing by showing signs no more donations to the library
I wonder if that Library in Ohio has any Anti-Bush Books on the Shelves?
can't someone in this town contact the Republican Headquarters and create a BIG PROTEST....perhaps some FREEPERS could organize and creat a bigger "HYPE" outside than the movie INSIDE!!!!
Awright, who blabbed? WHO BLABBED?!
; )
Librarian - geez, I wonder if she's against the Patriot Act?
I'm surprised I didn't find this thread in breaking news. While it's not "breaking news" in the typical sense, it's important that folks see this story. Ohio is very important for the President and this sort of thing is despicable.
Seriously, has this woman been living under a rock for the past few months? If she really expects us to believe she had no idea then I have a map to the Cambodian Christmas Festival '69 to sell her.
