Palin Asked About Censoring Books With Wasilla Librarian
I wonder if any of these librarians are using public funds or facilities (at their libraries) to circulate this fraud.
That is campaigning using public facilities and funds.
Not that anyone will look into it and prosecute it, but I suspect it is going on if one reads between the lines here.
Interesting. This list doesn’t include “The Left-hand of Darkness”, which is always on book-burner’s lists.
I’m sorry. After looking through that list, I’m going to have to call BS on this smear. The Bastard by John Jakes is a favorite of mine. Knowing Sarah Palin, I’ll bet it’s a favorite of hers also.
You know those losers will keep spreading their FUD until they've tossed so much SH!T that the voters will be too confused to know truth from rumors.
FUD = Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
Good Grief! If she was sitting around reading all these books and then trying to get all of them banned, she would have gotten absolutely nothing else done.
Some of those books are good, some bad. I don’t know if any are dangerous, or if any book can be dangerous (outside of Das Kapital). But I wonder, so long as we have libraries (and I don’t believe that they are necessary, or a true “public good”), why can’t we ban things.
According to the First Ammendment, censorship of private publishing houses or bookstores is out of the question. But those private organizations can, of course, censor themselves. Why can’t libraries censor themselves, too? They are not taking books out of circulation, but rather taking them out of their building, just like Barnes and Noble does every day.
Schools, as we all know, must use discretion in what they show the children, partly out of time-constraints and partly out of propriety. The difference between a library and a public school is that adults attend libraries too. They can wrangle adults into a seperate section. But do they want to? Does the government serve its constituency by providing pornography?
That Court decision about free speech and library pornography was asinine. The state has no duty to provide strange men with space to masturbate in. If we’re going to have public libraries, they should be able to use their discretion. If they choose to ban masterpieces like the Decameron and Canterbury Tales, the public will scoff, and customers will go elswhere.
This can’t be right. I don’t see the book “Darkhorse” (hey - fits right in for the election!) that we used to pass around in 8th-grade library
“.. and the spasms running up her back felt like tiny little ski boots...”
I've done cursory research lately to debunk a falsehood spreader here locally on another political matter and found something striking trying to ferret out truth and facts:
There a 1,000 Monkeys Typing for the 'rats.
I imagine it's their way of balancing discussions--by spreading outright lies.
PWNED!
Im shocked they didnt add “Fahrenheit 451” to that fake list.
Why would Jane want to ban Tarzan?
Strange, Maya Angelou is on the list. Her books don’t need to be banned. They’re so bad they ban themselves.
The Harry Potter books hadn’t been published in 1996.
Anyone with half a brain would recognize this a a RAT perpetrated hoax by the time they got down to the 7th or 8th entry. For the most part, these are literary masterpieces by some of the most talented authors who ever lived. Only a liberal would have any work of Mark Twain on a banned book list.
SARAH KILLS WOLVES FROM AIRPLANES! It just keeps getting better and better.

I call BS on this thing, and I’ll tell you why. No sane person would go to a librarian and ask them to “censor” book. Now I’ll bet she MIGHT have asked about removing a book that was questionable. Perhaps there was grumblings about some of the books available in the library, so the mayor, doing her job for the people, asked the librarian about removing books. The librarian says no, mayor says ok, librarian gets snippy about it (liberals, you know..), holds a grudge and gets an attitude with the Mayor, becomes uncooperative about doing anything, mayor decides to cut the librarian off, people insist librarian stays, mayor, doing the work of the people, lets librarian stay on the job. Or something like that. More plausible than a mayor coming in and say “Sorry hun, were coming in to BURN some of your books!”
That list is bogus...”The Audacity of Hope” is not on the list.
And yet Obama’s efforts to have the DJ at WGN in Chicago arrested for airing an unfavorable story during the Democrats convention raises not an eyebrow in the MSM.
