Some people just don't have a clue

Well, it seems the right wing has gotten to a few idiot film chains in the States:

THEATRE CHAIN BANS MICHAEL MOORE DOC

DECORAH, IOWA - A company that owns theatres in Iowa and Nebraska is refusing to show Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore's controversial new documentary.

R.L Fridley, owner and president of Des Moines-based Fridley Theatres, says he believes the film incites terrorism.

In an e-mail to company managers, Fridley said his company does not "play political propaganda films from either the right or the left."

"Our country is in a war against an enemy who would destroy our way of life, our culture and kill our people," Fridley wrote. "These barbarians have shown through [the Sept. 11 attacks] and the recent beheadings that they will stop at nothing. I believe this film emboldens them and divides our country even more."

I could make some extra comments, but the idiocy of the statements speak for themselves. The Presidential Election of 2004 is going to make our recent election look like a summer picnic!
