TIME MAG SMEAR: Sarah Palin wanted to ban books at the local library (VANITY)
TIME ^ | September 15 2008 Issue | By NATHAN THORNBURGH / WASILLA, ALASKA

Posted on 09/06/2008 8:28:45 PM PDT by library user

I was at Borders this morning, and the below quote is in huge bold black letters in this rag.

"She asked the library how she could go about banning books."

- John Stein (Palin's predecessor as mayor)
"The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Emmons, couldn't be reached for comment.

The list has been shown to be a fake; some of the books thereon were published after Palin's tenure as mayor.

They have no idea how badly they are hurting Obamas chances with their total derangement.

Kick back and watch them self destruct folks.

Filth like “Bless Me, Ultima” shouldn’t be provided to children by tax-supported libraries.

Was "Heather Has Two Mommies" one of them?

Or how about "Daddy's Roommate"?

Or maybe, the photo collection of Robert Maplethorpe?

Good for Sarah!!!

They had better be careful, we could be seeing a positive for us “Clinton Effect” the more they attack Sarah Palin, the more people support her, so they become more shrill, and the support goes even higher.

Just keep talking MSM...just...keep...talking....

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.

Stores that carry these mags should be asked either to refuse to sell obnoxious editions, or to put them in a less visible place. It’s the stores’ decision, after all.

Does Palin seem like the type of person who would ask a library how to ban books?

If she wanted to ban books, that would be stupid.

She is not stupid.

Whenever I hear "That Woman", all I can think of is Slick Willie pointing his finger at us and denying the Lewinsky relationship!
