Well, words have meaning Mike. I can agree that Quigly and Stender are not calling for a Government ban on the book. But they are asking for someone else to "ban" the book. They are not asking for a "boycott," they are asking for a "ban."

It's close but no cigar.

The government officials are "asking" private citizens to "ban" these books form their retail stores.

Private citizens can ban and government officials can ask.

Anyway, these two air head politicians need to be banned from office next voting cycle.

"they want New Jersey retailers to "ban the sale of [Coulter's] book throughout the state."

I respectfully disagree. Government officials can make life a living hell for businesses which upset them. Suggesting a boycott is one thing, but to suggest to businesses that they "ban" something is a chilling suggestion. You just had a cigar explode in your face.

Who do you think you're kidding?

In this country, kids praying in school is an establishment of religion, and you're trying to float the notion government official "asking" for a ban is okay?
