Palin tried to ban these books from Alaskan public libraries
 

EDIT: This was as mayor, not as governor. But still. . .
The librarian Mary Ellen Baker resigned over this.

The list of books is from a blog, and unconfirmed by major news outlets

2ND EDIT: The source has rescinded the statement on the list. . . The list was actually a list of books that people most commonly want banned. But the fact that she tried to ban books from that library remains.

I'd like to hear why.

That's fucking insane. Source?

eh, she did try to ban a few shitty overrated books. otherwise, wow.

Separate Peace by John Knowles

I agree with her on this one.

I'm voting McCain, now.

its funny that tropic of cancer isnt on the list
fuck her and her boccacio hating

Yeah, and didn't he do one called "Tropics of Capricorn"?
Also Banning "Carrie" but not "Gerald's Game" which starts out with a couple playing sex games, by King.

Oops, I'm sorry, it was as mayor of her bumfuck little town

The list was from an unsubstantiated blog, but the story is from TIME. Considering her policies and beliefs, it isn't that far of a stretch to assume this is true, or close to the truth.

Oh goddamn republicans.....
This actually made me angry.

can't have boooks that make ya think!!!!!!!!

That bitch obviously has horrible taste in literature if she chose to ban some of the greatest books ever written.

She probably also tried to add 376546787654 bibles to every library in Alaska...

The guy that released that list made a mistake and unreleased it

What mistake?

well the list wasn't of books she tried to have banned, but of the most commonly banned books

Hahahaha

I read that she didn't have a LIST of books to ban she just confronted a librarian and asked how one woud go about banning books.

yeah, everyone just chill the fuck out and realize that most of the shit you read about politicians is fiction. there, i said it. i can't believe the amount of time some of you must spend on this shit, and many of you don't even live in this country

Yeah I've got to double check everything on Palin from now on. That picture of her in a bikini with a rifle is a photoshop for example.

Meh. Any bad publicity that Palin gets, fact or fiction, is fine with me.
