In an unscientific, but amazing on-the-ground poll, 36% of Chicagoans voted to ban Sarah Palin’s books from being sold in the Windy City.
The guys from RebelPundit.com attended the Printer’s Row Literature Festival in June. The festival has city blocks roped off and thousands of titles on hand for display, discussion and sale.
RebelPundit staff then set up a sandwich board device that offered people 11 choices of authors, and asked passersby which, if any, of these authors they would “ban” from Chicagoland bookstores.
The authors included : Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Andrew Breitbart, Ayn Rand, Michael Savage, Bill Clinton, Michael Moore, Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler and Barack Obama.
Here’s a quick summation of their findings. The video of their findings is available on their website:
Participants overwhelmingly chose Sarah Palin who received 53 votes putting her at 36% overall, Glenn Beck at 23% and Ann Coulter at 22%. All of the other choices received a very minimal amount of votes, with the next most popular to ban being Adolf Hitler at 0.5%.
RebelPundit.com also pointed out that a few people (no exact number given) did say that no books should be banned, and those few people should be applauded. Yet this unscientific study shows, again, that those who claim to be the most open-minded rarely are.
Oh I know.
You would have to buy the books to burn them. Meaning the Liberals would have to spend their own money, not ours.
Kerry buys a boat stores it in another State; Al Gore refuses to fly commercial or reduce his carbon footprint; Clinton writes off his underwear.
Do as I say not as I do. That's Liberals.
How effectively the MSM/Communists/Marxists/Fascists/Socialists have been in destroying the reputation of a good American citizen who just happens to threaten them.
More of that famous liberal open-mindedness and tolerance on display!
Yep, pure stupid ignorance at work. Don’t like what someone writes, says or believes simply ban them. Can’t addle their little brains with facts. That just wouldn’t be fair.
It’s Chicago. Those idiots probably thought Karl Marx is Obama’s Chief of Staff.
Those are the ones who can’t read, anyway.
If we conservatives are the so-called narrow minded bigots then why do only the leftists call for book bans? Don’t like an author or topic? Then just don’t buy it or read it.
Doesn’t surprise me coming from the communists training ground of America.
What? Those loving, caring, tolerant liberals want to ban books? Surely you jest. (being sarcastic)
It’s amazing how these hypocrite liberals are guilty of the very thing they accuse conservatives and Christians of. These wicked people charge Christians and conservative with banning and/or burning books, yet they’re the ones who do it! Hypocrites!!!
How Democratic of them...

I hate Chicago Nazis.
Book banning leading to book burning; the democrat party certainly encourages their hacks to be good little Nazis.
Not this Chicagoan!
Um, like, you know, you so totally can’t do this.
