I think how believable it was reflects on her.

I'm sure this can't be true. Even though she is a Republican, I'm sure she's still smart enough to know that it is against U.S. law to ban books. In spite of any personal objections she might have to certain books, I'm sure, with her experience and knowledge, that she must understand that's still the law of the land. Books cannot be removed because of objection to content. She must know that.

Still, the fact that she has these kinds of ideas floating around in her head shows her mentality.

She's kind of hot though.

Libraries ban books all the time. I can remember about 3 separate controversies surrounding banned books at the (public) library in my home town growing up.

The library can choose not to stock certain titles for whatever reason its administrators choose, just as a store can decide not to carry a title for any reason its managers or owners choose. That is not the same as a government entity banning books--telling the library or the store that they could not carry the title on their shelves. That would be unconstitutional.

oh, i see what you're saying.

I assumed the rumor was that she was part of some conservative book hating parents club. You know, the kind that protest at small town public libraries to ban such offensive titles as "Everybody Poops" etc.
When I was in high school a big controversy in my town was over a conservative parents group that successfully petitioned the local library to remove a children's book explaining homosexuality. They then proceeded to remove all the good books from the school library too.

it has come to my attention that this story may not be true - some of the book weren't even published at the time the alleged book banning qwould have taken place. what is supposed to be true is palin did ask the librarian what she would do if asked to ban books (librarian said she would refuse).

nevertheless palin is still scary. she's my age. I'm her peer! hah hhhhhaahahhah

this election is getting weird and ugly. Waiting for the October Surprise.

All the dirt is coming out about Palin - and the Repub smear machine is working. This black dude that works in my building starts chatting politics with me this morning and sez "boy, Obama is really digging a hole for himself with that lipstick on a pig comment" - he hadn't actually read any articles he just thought that Obama called Palin a pig.

The Dems have to hit back and hit back hard if they want to win. Palin is a witch. She's a female Dubya...and stupid middle American sheep women are voting for her because she's a baby machine just like them.

Obama screwed himself with that reference to lipstick on a pig. He may not have meant it to refer to Palin, but given her own previous remarks about lipstick, the inference that he did mean it was bound to be made. So much for his superior judgement.

Don't forget his crude treatment of Hilary during the primary, from his 'kitchen sink' comments to giving her the finger. The guy is a disaster waiting to happen.

Bill and Hil were right, the neophyte with the obviously padded resume wouldn't be able to handle the heat of a presidential campaign. Poor stupid Dems were so bewitched by a snakeoil salesman they didn't listen to the only one among them who had actually won two campaigns for POTUS.

The Obama campaign is collapsing. They are still dazed and confused about Palin and the panic is starting to show. Joe Biden was caught on tape saying that Hilary would've been a better VP candidate. When your own running mate is questioning your judgement, things are going downhill fast.

And it's only going to get worse. The Obama/Ayers/Chicago Annenberg Challenge story is finally starting to percolate up into the MSM. Just like the John Edwards love child story, this is the one the media don't want to report, but will ultimately have no choice. Because working for 5 years on education reform with an unrepentant terrorist and totalitarian communist whose idea of education reform is to create a generation of revolutionaries cannot be passed off as "he's just some guy that lives in my neighbourhood".

Heh, and then at the end of October Tony Rezko, Obama's former buddy and infamous Chicago slumlord gets sentenced. That Obama steered millions of taxpayer $s to Rezko's slum projects isn't what Rezko was convicted of. But the Obama connection is there nonetheless. Obama has a long history of not just tolerating corruption, but of embracing it and even pandering to it. He's from Chicago for fuck's sake. Where they always vote early and vote often even when they're dead.
