there’s plenty of books I would like to see banned.

I know of a book, its a very popular book, all time #1 best seller. Liberals want it banned from Government buildings, schools, public libraries and public forums.

You're right. She's not banning books from Amazon - she's not banning them from the Internet. She's banning them from in institution we all support with our tax dollars.

If liberals keep pushing to have our libraries transformed into porn palaces, they'll find out we'd rather close the libraries - and by their way of thinking "ban all of 'em..."

It is not your job to decide what books I should be able to read. I am strongly against the government banning books.

That said, a small town library needs to spend its budget on the books that of interest to the greatest number of its citizens, so I don't think a library has an obligation to purchase a lot of controversial books.

What I have heard so far is that Sarah Palin asked what the librarian would do IF she asked her to ban books...but there was never a request to actually ban a book. Since the librarian hasn't come forward with her side of the story, it is a little hard to piece the story together. The guy she defeated for mayor doesn't seem like a totally reliable source to me.
