The left has lost all credibility. They have used lies and smears to try to destroy this women.
They have energized me, and I will vote for her no matter what.
Exactly, so far we have had one side of the story just the way the DBM likes it.
The Bastard was made into a made for t.v. movie. I doubt it would be on anyone’s banned book list.
Sonic-
She didn’t. It was in a public meeting, and (then) Mayor Palin said she was inquiring on behalf of voters how the librarian would feel about requests to remove certain books (no titles were mentioned, per Anchorage Daily News coverage). The librarian explained that there she was firmly against censorship, and went on to explain that there is a challenge process that anyone can initiate specific to any library materials. No specific books were discussed, and no books were banned.
The librarian apparently was also a supporter of Palin’s predecessor. Palin asked for the librarian’s resignation, along with a number of other city staffers that were hired by and supported her political opponent. After a show of public support for the librarian, the request was withdrawn. Nearly 3 years later, the librarian resigned of her own accord.
Note that the lefties are attempting to link Palin’s pursuit of a constituent’s request with the attempt to remove an at-will employee from their city-paid position (which was clearly her perogative as Mayor). There’s no evidence of any link, but that’s not stopping them.
The vicious attacks continue ...
Don’t feel alone. We’re all in this together. It’s hard to figure out which battles to pick. The number of numbskulls on the socialist side seems to be spiraling out of control, and they get meaner by the day, so it seems as if we’re ‘outnumbered.’ But we’re all as strong as we were yesterday.
I realise this is the way it is supposed to work, but, where is the oversight? Most are government employees, entrenched in the system, protected by public employee's unions and the employer's fear of wrongful termination lawsuits. Call me cynical, but I have spent the last twelve years working for a government contractor and I have seen the system in action....
Some libraries are unionized, some are not. My library is not.
From another article, the Librarian publicly supported Palin’s opponent in her run for mayor. Palin cleaned house, including the Librarian, when she was elected. She relented and kept the librarian.
Non-Story.
Good for you. It would ne great if it always worked that way.
“The librarian explained that there she was firmly against censorship...”
Every child should have to read “Heather has two Mommies,” and “Daddy’s Roommate.”
Although I’m sure books by Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin, etc., would be free to go into the fire.
That was a strange book. Enjoyed it though.
