Sarah Palins List of Banned Books

I am hoping that someone will notate book by book, and explain why these books should not be read.

Sarah Palins List of Banned Books

More things to learn about Sarah Palin

For those of you who think that all of the opposition to Sarah Palin is from "leftwing" nuts; the following is a list of books that she tried to
get banned when she was mayor of Wasilla. I am not sure that Mark Twain, William Shakespeare, Maya Angelou and Geoffrey Chaucer would be considered dangerous to children. Judy Blume give me a break. Harry Potter, who is kidding who. I also fail to see how Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary by the Merriam-Webster Editorial Staff should be banned.

This information is taken from the official minutes of the Wasilla Library Board. When the librarian refused Palin tried to get her fired as she did with the Safety Director of the State who refused to fire a trooper who was getting a vicious divorce from her sister

She also told her Assembly of God Church in June 2008 that it is "God's Will" that the federal government contribute to the expansion of the Alaska pipeline. (Must have been talking to George Bush). She sounds like one of those lawyers Bush put into the justice department.

This is the list of books Palin tried to have banned. As many of you will notice it is a hit parade for book burners.

I will do a better background check before posting anymore lies. My apologies. I am VERY pleased i was incorrect. I was scared!

[andruejaysin]

Not on the list-
Mein Kamf (adolf hitler)
Home Workshop Explosives (uncle fester)
and quite a few others that one could reasonably argue shouldn't be in a library.

[andruejaysin]

And why ban scary stories 1 and 3 but not 2? Perhaps her math skills are a litttle lacking.

Maybe you missed it?
This is a false rumor. Right at the top of the page on the link, it says, status, "False", then goes into detail further down.
Hence several of the books on the list, were not even published at the time in question, 1996, i.e. the Harry Potter Books.

I am not directing this at you at all allrollsin, don't take this personally please. I realize you just made a mistake, no big deal.
You aren't the first person to make mention of this.
It's just a fine example of how the left in America is reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaching for anything to discredit Palin, or paint her as the next anti-christ.
Things like this should be a clear indicator as to how threatening this woman is to the left. They are trying to do the same old drive by character assassination that they tried to do to Clarence Thomas. The issue is that in both cases, you have a minority of society that completely flies in the face of everything that the liberal left has been telling everyone to believe for years. So there only option is to try to demonize and discredit these people so that they can maintain there dogma. No doubt that even though most people will see through this, lots of people will not realize this, and will believe what they are told to believe, (I am thinking that these are the same folks you see fainting at the sight of Obama, and holding their "change" signs upside down while jumping up and down in the air like school girls.
I think it is great that you did post this, and the facts behind it were brought to light! In a weird way you actually did a service to Palin.
Thank you, my wife appreciates it!
She'll put you on the preferred list, so that when the New World Order emerges in 2010, you won't have to go work in the mines!

Mega dittos to you for being forth coming! Most would just never come back to the thread! We all make mistakes!:jointsmile:

MAny of those books are required reading... or used to be when I was in school. A lot of them still are. besides... to even think about banning books would be condeming freedom of speach. That ain't gonna happen.

[Rusty Trichome]

This just in...

...Sarah Palin's revised banned book list to include everything ever written by Oprah, or endorsed by the Oprah Book Club, and anything available in the Trinity United Church of Allah's bookstore.
Latest books banned: "An Inconvienent Audacity" and "Bigger Government: Mandating Carbon Credits and Tire Pressures thru Unconstitutional Taxes" by Barack Hussein O'gore.

You guys don't mean to say that these books shouldn't be banned? We can't have our children reading smut! HAVE YOU EVER READ LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD?
