		<description>David, even if she didn&#039;t want the SPECIFIC LIST OF BOOKS that you indicated  banned from the library doesn&#039;t automatically mean that she made no efforts or queries of any kind to find out how &quot;to go about banning books&quot; (in other words, it doesn&#039;t automatically mean that Stein is a liar).</description>

		<description>Palin Derangement Syndrome strikes again. This time it’s hysterical librarians and their readers on the Internet disseminating a bogus list of books Gov. Sarah Palin supposedly banned in 1996. Looks like some of these library people failed reading comprehension. Take a look at the list below and you’ll find books Gov. Palin supposedly tried to ban…that hadn’t even been published yet. Example: The Harry Potter books, the first of which wasn’t published until 1998.

The smear merchants who continue to circulate the list also failed to do a simple Google search, which would have showed them that the bogus Sarah Palin Banned Book List is almost an exact copy-and-paste reproduction of a generic list of “Books Banned at One Time or Another in the United States” that has been floating around the Internet for years. STACLU notes that the official Obama campaign website is also perpetuating the fraud. And it’s spread to craigslist, where some unhinged user is posting images likening Palin to Hitler. 

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.

		<description>It&#039;s been reported that Ms. Palin sought to ban the works of Mark Twain. The librarian couldn&#039;t be reached for comment. Sounds like the work of the widow Douglas, or maybe even that of scoundrel Huck Finn. Now Douglas and Finn were known troublemakers. I’m certain the nefarious pair’s history of skullduggery and collusion was unworthy of Twain’s pen. But I&#039;d like to hear the allegation from Mary Ellen the librarian firsthand. That is, if she hasn’t mysteriously disappeared. For my own self, I can&#039;t say enough about Sarah Palin. I liken her detractors to skaters who go down hard. Anyway, here&#039;s a clip from Jan &amp; Dean. Bet you can’t watch just once: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX7X4FovYRA&amp;NR=1 And, how ‘bout them Dems: lost in space, or true tales from the Office of the Pork-master General: http://theseedsof9-11.com</description>

		<description>I think the only book that needs to be in a library is the Christian bible.  It should fill every shelf and be the only book that people should be able to read.    NOT.

Sarah Palin is a super-religious far right wing fruitcake with extra nuts.  She wants endangered species in Alaska removed from the endangered species list, kisses the rear ends of developers, tried to get books banned at her local library as mayor-- trying to fire the librarian (Nazi book-burning party anyone?), she strongly favors teacher-initiated prayer in schools,  favors teaching creationism in our schools,  favored Alaska secession from the U.S., is under investigation for abusing her power as governor (a job she&#039;s only had for a year and half), and called the Iraq war a &quot;task from god.&quot;   Are you kidding?  RUN away from this person.  If anyone can&#039;t bring themselves to vote for O and Joe,  write in a third party candidate or stay home.  I don&#039;t need anyone else&#039;s religion forced down my throat.   She has executive experience that would make her a great leader--- IN CHINA, not the USA.  

Thanks for posting this.  It&#039;s not from the opposition campaign-- it was reported by media sources who verified it and tried to interview the librarian.  The librarian refused to comment, and I don&#039;t blame her.</description>

		<description>HELLO!!

You have all reminded me why I usually never read blogs.  What a complete waste of time.  

I&#039;m sorry you all don&#039;t know how to do research.  (I stumbled on this blog on my way to some facts...)

See you all later... learn to use your own minds, please.  (and read a banned book TODAY!)

(P.S. - the word IS foment:  
foment &#124;ˈfōˌment; fōˈment&#124; verb [ trans. ]

1 instigate or stir up (an undesirable or violent sentiment or course of action) : they accused him of fomenting political unrest. See note at incite .

My question is, did Barack use the wrong word, or did the reporter?  Education ain&#039;t what is used to be...)</description>

		<description>Real Issues?

Free speech is the biggest issue out there. It should be the first and foremost issue.

Without it, you can&#039;t talk freely about ANY ISSUES. 

Maybe we should be thinking about the journalists being arrested outside the rnc.</description>

<p>Free speech is the biggest issue out there. It should be the first and foremost issue.</p>
<p>Without it, you can&#8217;t talk freely about ANY ISSUES. </p>
<p>Maybe we should be thinking about the journalists being arrested outside the rnc.</p>

		<description>If, In Fact, It Is Trying To Ferment Terrorist Activists In Other Borders.

Pedantic Man says that should probably be &quot;Foment.&quot;
Fermenting terrorists is messy and smells like feet.
That is all.</description>

		<description>@Rheinhard

Wasn&#039;t that Heine guy some kind of a Jew or something? What do you expect when you get your information straight from a guy who hates Nazis? We can&#039;t even get the storyu from somebody who doesn&#039;t hold a grudge?

(Seriously, thanks for the quote, a beauty.)</description>

		<description>Metteyya, a name of someone over at the Nation blog verifies more than we need to know about Sarah&#039;s activities as Mayor of Wasilla. She used the office to promote ProLife policies even though it&#039;s a nonpartisan position and tried to fire the librarian as it was said...but more &quot;Mettayya&quot; says she&#039;s writing as a Wasilla resident or at least a Alaskan. The more we know the more we know Sarah&#039;s anti First Amendment...if she even knows what the First Amendment which is in doubt. http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat/352893 

if I was religious I would pray for Joe Biden to &#039;out&#039; this antiAmerican antiFreedom whackjob.</description>

		<description>Farrakhan was never Obama&#039;s &quot;mentor&quot;.

Obama has no connection with FARC.

I&#039;ll sort-of concede you the Weather Underground reference (Obama was never actually affiliated or a member of W.U., but did indeed does have some foolish past friendly connections with a W.U. member, William Ayers).</description>

		<description>&quot;It’s pretty entertaining to watch the slow motion train wreck of a guy who wants to win so badly that he’ll throw out any pretense of fairness, objectivity, or principle in pursuit of that goal.&quot;

Except all he needs to do is show the evidence. 

If this was a Democrat, you would already have your pitchfork ready.</description>

		<description>I originally thought that guy at Time was a Republican press person writing copy for the McCain campaign....now it seems he&#039;s all over Sarah Palin. 

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1837713,00.html  another more positive dispatch by him..Nathan Thornburgh

also McCain&#039;s people are subjecting the people of Wasilla with a lot of Republican operatives I&#039;ve heard on Public radio...doing &#039;research&#039; post vetting....ahmmm...trying to keep the locals from speaking out. I&#039;m thinking Alaskans are not approving of ol Sarah as much anymore.</description>
