Did Sarah Palin try to ban books?

[dex1391]

LOL more liberal media stupidity.

Number of books banned by Palin = 0

[arizonaviking]

"It is very, very easy not to be offended by a book. You just have to shut it."

I hope Sarah dies soooo painfully

[committeesq]

If you look at the titles, it doen't add up. There is no way that the list could be real.

[committeesq]

Harry Potter hadn't been published yet. Silly.

[dontanner232]

No Books were banned and Obama voted to let living abortions die ... Go Obama !!!

These "Christians" are dangerously close to being demon worshippers; the demons of intolerance, force, and rejection of the Golden Rule. LAME!!

[Mokonamusic]

every country sometimes has an idiot leading their country, all you can do is laugh, and be happy that you at least have a government and that they hire specialists to do the work for them

[buhe1]

And still she hasn't given up her plans, and now that her flunkies are in congress, she's acting as if she's in charge.

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

This ignorant stupid uneducated narrow minded christian lunatic to a women should be by law forced back to Alaska before she does any more damage to America. Or even better, she and her Alaskan redneck husband, Todd, should e kicked out from the US for life to lets say...North Korea. I bet even her children would be more than happy to get rid of her.

[pope42OFdope]

if any book should be banned it should be the bible



[Freenetnow]

sure she did. and she tried to kick puppies and set the homeless on fire.

good grief what a ridiculous "report".

[nsdtr01]

Palin does not believe in democracy

[MrATB990]

Hail Palin, my Fuhrer!

[stirwins333]

Man she's a disgusting cunt.

[victoriousshade]

lol what a bitch

[qwertywolf2]

Gays have guilty consciences?

That's why they're the groups with something like umm I don't know....

CONFESSIONS?!

[Vengeance31]

Religion + Politics + Palin = Fail

@Vengeance31 Thus Religion + fail, +Politics = Palin ... oh my god.. how did you find this formula?!

The enquiry alone is too far.

[maynerd23]

Very in your face and cheap shot speech I just saw....funny though it didn't work and she is hunting bears and promoting Alaska again....goes to show you that facts not crap gets you elected.....bye bye Palin....

[feyd8194]

nazi bitch.

[flyboymd82]

The only people in this Country that have EVER attempted to ban free speech are the LIBERAL NEOMARXISTS!!

They got Dr Laura kicked off T.V. They got Michael Savage kicked off T.V. and TRIED to get him kicked off radio! They got Rush Limbaugh kicked off the NFL Job he had......

Palin didn't ban one book! Its a confirmed, proven LIE made up by the propagandist smear merchants of the left.

Who's the REAL fascist?? We know who!

[ladezkik]

Hitler.

[TuNnL]

flyboymd82, if what you say is true, why did Palin fire the librarian only a month after having "inquired" about the book banning policy? No one said Palin banned books, the fact of the matter is, she TRIED to ban books. That's just as evil.

[sixletter]

ABC was wrong on this one and didn't bother to correct the report.

ABC is nothing but a tabloid organization anymore.

NO bias here. LOL

[AnimeAmvX]

evidence?

[sixletter]

Banned books week Celebrating the Freedom to Read is observed during the last week of Sept each yr. Observed since 1982, this annual ALA event reminds Americans not to take this precious freedom for granted. Banned &/or Challenged Books from the Radcliffe Pub Course Top 100 Novels of the 20th Century (aladotorg) Palin did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library (factcheckdotorg)

Librarians select & deselect books everyday. AllTime seller Bible 4-5 billion absoluteastronomy

[cciemail]

Assemblies of God is that wacko Pentecostal church that Jim & Tammy Faye Baker were in. They take a literal interpretation of many crazy things in the

Bible, and they absolutely believe in censoring books, movies, TV shows,... In Springfield, around where the headquarters is, they tried to ban cable TV (not just the Playboy channel, but ALL cable TV). And they banned banned many books, like by Mark Twain, in the public schools there.

[judgedredd123]

Sarah Palin, Alaska's own Adolf Hitler

[my1rule]

If Palin dont have her way she fires them...what a class act!!!

[ricky1oh1]

that's why she lost.. in the end, the majority of people can see thru her bullshit

[m1up]

@my1rule

Just like ours (Canada's) Stephen Harper!

[ShalloeThought]

Dont blame Sarah when the forces of Witchcraft turn you into a Newt !!!

[pulrh]

It speaks volumes about the type of society she wants, when she's trying to restrict and control the information we recieve. A hallmark of all totalitarian regimes.

[ShalloeThought]

Mc Cain will win the Elections but he shall not enter the Promised Land .. Sarah will lead the People !!!!! Halleluia Palin 2008

[smidget25]

I sincerely hope your joking

[Koame]

Tell you what. You learn how to spell 'university,' 'unsavory,' 'constitution,' 'scientific,' 'nonsense,' 'evolution,' witchcraft,' 'Sarah' and 'Hallelujah'

THEN, perhaps, we'll take you seriously. Maybe.

[spuddmc34]

holy fuck 00:45 never thought these people were still breathing, but for fuck sake! Face it, people have whats called a CHOICE! If they want to be a homosexual then let them be one, if they want to choose their religion then let them choose their religion. So shut your large religious shithole and leave your nose out of other peoples lives.

Wow I'm really argumentative, no offense to christians except those who believe the fermented shit about stuff like that (0:45)

[ShalloeThought]

And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman,young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. 24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therin : only the silver, and the Gold, and the vessels of brass, they put into the treasury .. And the Lord said unto Joshua ...And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho !!!Vote Sarah Palin 2008 !!She has a Task from God !

[angerangels]

As a feminist, I am very disappointed with the fact that Palin is anti-woman and doesn't believe in the freedom of choice regarding abortion, or the freedom to have access to books. You will not censor me Palin, I won't vote for someone who wants to ban abortions, EVEN IF THE WOMAN IS RAPED BY HER OWN FATHER. this woman is crazy to think that normal women want this kind of government.

[MACKATTACK1970]

Sarah Palin is white trash, her family is trailer park trash.

She is also very stupid and a Bimbo.

[FOD2B]

REPLY FROM ALASKA: Kiss our moose shooting, oil drilling, bear skinning, wolf hunting, gun toting, Salmon fishing, ATV riding, tails.

I can't vote for Ronald Reagan or John Wayne so I'm voting for Sarah Palin.

It will cost ACORN another cigarette to buy somebody's vote counter mine.

[onenewshoe]

She shouldn't be allowed to run a fuckin' Starbucks! What a freakin' moron, holy shit! I wouldn't trust this woman with my car keys, let alone the whole damn country...

[davida3606]

She can't ban any books! It is implied in the First amendment. Freedom of the press.

[FOD2B]

She didn't ban any! She asked a question. Later, the librarian screwed up & got fired. She blamed getting fired on Palin & the left wing press believed it.

[kanawa]

Sarah has more class than any left-wing kookette.

[gtarace09]

For firing a librarian when she wouldn't let her remove books from the library? Or attempting to get her sister's ex-husband removed from the police force? Yea...she sounds classy alright.

[FOD2B]

So you believe that a law enforcement officer that has open containers of beer in his car, beats his wife, & breaks the laws he's sworn to protect shouldn't get fired. Interesting.

[gtarace09]

First of all, please show me how you know that happened. I'm not saying it didn't, I just want to know. And no, if that's true, I don't think he should keep his job. But I also think Palin shouldn't be the final say in that, since she not objective as he's her sister's ex-husband. It's not her place the minute she becomes overly biased on the matter. And banning books? Why even ask the question? It's ridiculous.

[spuddmc34]

thumbs up for this guy

[gokuhawks14]

FUCK SARA PALIN FUCK HER UP THE ASS

[MACKATTACK1970]

Sarah likes it up the ASS especialy if it is from her boyfriend.

You know the guy who was Todd's best friend and business partner who screwed Sarah silly.

This slut has many skeletons in her closet but they are not needed to attack her since her stupidity does the job for her distractors.

Sarah Palin is a Stupid person, very stupid.

[TruthWatch]

Save the Americans!!

BAN SARAH PALIN!!!

Fire John McCain if he doesn't comply!!

[bobbollu]

Some of the comments above should be banned

for bad language, does that make me Hitler too?

[Kailoa36]

Whether Plain tried to removed any specific books from the library her meaning was clear. She wanted the right to ban any books she did not approve of. She fired the Librarian for refusing to grant her that right.

[canycme]

VOTE

VOTE for Obama/Biden Nov 4th!!!

VOTE

O8iden!!!

We won't be fooled again!

McCain is erratic and unstable, not Presidential material.

[sdvma]

Get the damn homo books the hell out of the library

[alexthehun]

SARA se echa un palin

[cizzlen07]

Fuck Palin. Stupid slut. Hope she burns in hell.

[bobbollu]

HOPE YOU BURN IN hELL

[Tcheuchter1]

The last person I know that wanted to ban books was a little Austrian Fellow named Adolf, he too, swept into Power in a wave of Patriotic Fervour. He also had people dismissed from their jobs for personal gain. He frightened his people and told them they were under attack and anyone that questioned his rantings were vilified as Unpatriotic.The rest is history. Sound Familiar?

[bobbollu]

YEAH Sarah Palin is the new Hitler

you are brillant!

[jennut1]

Palin is a bully and a liar. No one should ever trust someone like that. She pushes intelligent, well-liked people out of their jobs to get her way. It's disgusting.

[FOD2B]

Just like the FBI did to Ted Stevens! You are so right!

They were "well liked" by their crooked buddies.

[bloodyugly]

Sure, go ahead.. believe everything you hear from network news. My plan requires a majority of sheeple to work. It's ok, this will only hurt for a second or two. Hahahahaha!

[Sam666gelber]

Go ask Alice, when she's 10 feet tall.

I'm really not sure we can take another reason to distrust Palin.

[Crosisborg]

Even asking about the removal of books is enough to know this bitch is anti-constitution.

[Truthseekerfinder]

The only way we'll get to the bottom of this book banning issue is to interview the librarian.

SHE'S not talking, beyond saying that it happened.

I wonder why. Has she been threatened? Paid off? Why is she afraid of airing her entire side of the story?

[cryolophosaur]

Sarah Palin does not ban books, however she does ban interviews with the media as well as tough questions & scrutiny.

She is ready to face Putin but not Larry king? Give me a break!

[priorzola]

If this is the way she treats a librarian, imagine how she will treat her staff as VP or, dare I say, President. Really people, if she oppressed a well-liked librarian because she wasn't willing to play along with Palin's self-professed duty as thought police, she's going to try to do the same as a national leader. Aren't you people tired of being told what to think from a bunch of narrow-minded Jesus-freak liars?

[krammitAll]

"I didn't decide to run for President to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be President because it had become my ambition to be President. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize."

-Senator John McCain

Excerpt from his book: "Worth the Fighting For: A Memoir" (2002)

[SILENT440]

fûk palin... their campaign CANNOT WIN...they are moving 2 control everything

[stillie4]

So were books banned? The answer is no. Another weak attack blown up by the liberal media. Keep bringin them on cause it just makes you all look worse.

[johnedwards1968]

Who the hell even asks about banning books? Why are you defending her?

[stillie4]

Because these attacks are ridiculous.

Google Obama's connection to Fanny and Freddy. He's toast.

[krammitAll]

I did.. it was amazing.. a ton of obvious propaganda sites saying bad things about barack that do not tie him to the massive deregulation that allowed "ALL" mortgage companies to do it.

Let's talk about "real connections" please. How about Phil Gramm.. you should look up what conservative mags like Fortune say about him. He's his economic advisor. Mcain will destroy your economy.

Go peddle your propaganda elsewhere.

[stillie4]

Obama's top advisors were CEO's of Fanny. Both Dems. Of the list of those that received money from Fanny/Freddy since 1989, Obama is #2. He's been in office less than 4 years. That's real connections my friend.

[krammitAll]

I know where your getting your talking points from... You want to tell me or should I tell everyone?

Fannie May and Freddie Mac worked until it was de-regulate then interests rates were dropped. These conditions allowed for the situation for the 2 FM's to tank. Don't believe me go to any independent economic site and look.

[stillie4]

Obama's blaming Rep's for their failure when it's his own guys that were running the show.

[krammitAll]

Here is your logic unwound.

I am driving a car and some drunk madman smashes into me... so it's my fault?

[stillie4]

McCain proposed a bill in 2005 for regulation of this industry. He spoke of the problems to come (the problems we have now). This is same regulation that Obama is saying now that we should have had. The dems shot the bill down. I'll message you the info and sources. Too long for a comment.

[krammitAll]

"stilleStupid" google: mcCain economic advisors. There are the people responsible... twit

[stillie4]

Obama's top advisors were CEO's of Fanny. Both Dems. Of the list of those that received money from Fanny/Freddy since 1989, Obama is #2. He's been in office less than 4 years. That's real connections my friend.

[krammitAll]

Your ashamed of where your getting you information from aren't you? Don't bother saying the usual i.e. "check it for yourself", or "look it up stupid", or "try using google".

I actually know how to do research. Your not being honest about where your getting your info from are you? I am assuming your a christian who doesn't lie or mislead on purpose right?

[stillie4]

I don't care where you get the information from, it's not hidden bro. I'm sorry I don't have time to give you every source I found. I gave you the info to research for yourself instead of forcing a site on you. So how is that misleading? And just so you know, both your candidates call themselves Christians, so if you're downtalking people for having those views, then you're downtalking your own guys.

[krammitAll]

Are you fighting because of your religious values? or because you honestly believe what your posting. If you honestly believed what your saying you would be looking at several sources with differing opinions.

It's misleading because you are using carefully scripted 1/2 truths mixed with innuendo. That is worse than a simple lie. I brought up faith because what your doing is very dishonest.

[krammitAll]

What did Obama do when jim johnson came under question? He removed him from the campaign.

What does McCain do when his TOP economic advisor is one of the fathers of deregulation? Not one thing (is that leadership) His advisor drove the US economy into the same state as prior to the great depression.

[fuzzboxdelay]

luckily she was stopped thanks to people around her realizing she was working against one of the most important and fundamental rights in a democracy: the freedom of expression. the problem isn't if the books were banned or not, the problem is that she tried.

[marker853]

but she still tried to ban them

[stillie4]

Tell me when and where there was any attempt to ban books. She asked a librarian a question about it. That's it.

[FromBoomTown]

Then fired the librarian. Removing books? For what reason exactly;she didn't specify. Meanwhile removing information is censorship.

[greggregoryvigilant]

This seems like the kind of stuff you can expect from sarha Palin. Fits her profile.

[tomm2thumbs]

What big country does book-burning remind you of? Any ideas? Hmmmm.....

[jdbohdan]

She was chosen for her gender and right wing political views. The hockey mom narrative is a smokescreen to get stray hillary votes and the female undecided. There are really no surprizes on these things being presented about her. It is no better or worse than male right wingers. She is less experienced but follows the same party line.

[caltvater]

I my city, groups from the community have demanded books promoting homo sexuality be banned and it always fails before of the threats of lawsuits from outside organizations. However, the library records showed very few of the books were ever checked out. I am aganist censorship, but for community stardands. Besides, with our open market and technology, it is impossible to ban books (or other forms of information). If we had these options 200 years ago, we wouldn't have any libraries today.

[dtbakerqwe123ou]

We cannot trust the media. They have a double standard, driven by an undefined agenda.

What is actually true about any of the candidates that have been selected for "we the people" to choose from?

I do not believe any of it.

The only thing I have confidence in, is my conviction that we are being played...

Big Time.

[boyswannaBher]

Finally, someone I can identify with.

It's all a huge game.

[dtbakerqwe123ou]

Thank you for the kind reply.

Kindred spirits - Great minds think alike.

[boyswannaBher]

No problem. Thank you.

[stardog8itup]

This is the type of information that is important for the public to see. I think most people would feel uneasy about a person in such a potentially powerful position who seems to bully those that don't agree with her particular view. Removing books or limiting ideas to the public is an abuse of freedom of expression. It's censorship. Allow each individual to make their own choice to read a book or leave it on the shelf. It's just plain arrogant to make that choice for another person.

[jnicelap]

I wish Americans can see this VP pick as a disaster. This is Crazy! I am a Christian and I dont believe in same sex marriage. But i dont think that I have the right to control what someone should be reading. America please wake up! Vote for Obama or Ron Paul. The Republican party is retard! If they win I would lose respect for America.

[12futureshox]

Wow, the fact that there is even an issue on the table around the possible next President of the United States interested in banning books . . . folks, we have slid a long way. :(

[GabrielPFoulkes]

i will lose all faith in america and american politics if the Republicans win.

[littledogs1]

This is only the begining, after being lied to by our government for the last 8 years, with all the cover ups, can we really take a chance on someone who thinks cencorship is the answer? Are we sheep? this is the begining of big brother people, she scares me, what with the talk of Iraq being a task from God and banning books, We can't let this happen. Obama must be elected, do everything you can, send this video to everyone you know.

[instantkarmahh]

She must be stopped! She is anti-American!!

Please, please, please vote for Obama/Biden!

[i2eu8]

obama is the one who is connected to terrorists

[theshizouse]

Are people blind? Or has the poor public education system of this country dumbed everyone down to this level. Banning books is the first step in a direction this country should not go down.

[AstoundedAtheist]

This women needs to be stopped, even if that means voting for Obama!

[okiedragonlady2]

How many books did the Hitler regime burn? Wow - this is bad. Didn't McCain know this - or was this part of her charm?

[ekjohndeer]

Sahara, did't burn any books so, how can you compare her to Hitler, pertty sick minded making this compareison.

[okiedragonlady2]

Ok your right - it is really Bush who should be compared to Hitler. She's really just a piece of fluff who thinks she can demand her way and then fire at will. Power goes to some people's heads faster than others. But your freudian slip Sahara - desert - is amusing.

[ekjohndeer]

Now Bush burning books !! make up your mind or better yet use yours. Mcain/Palin had issue's but so do Olama/Bidian have them to.

Most people will compare them honestly, not in gutter like you. Do me a favor read a book.

[okiedragonlady2]

Bush/Cheney has been spying on US citizens, he has passed laws that make it possible to arrest me for my dissent, he has opened the door to church and state blurring that area, he took us to war by telling lies after 9/11 re Iraq. There is failure to protect citizens in Katrina, corruption. He is creating a fascist gov. If McCain wanted change, he wouldn't be using the same swift boat team telling lies about Obama and your are right - Obama isn't perfect either but he's not McBush.

[ekjohndeer]

Mcain is his own man just as Obama is his . Don't forget that Obama is a Senator too. But you got to ask yourself Obama started in the living room of Bill Ayers a self amitted bomber of police and the capital buildings hurting and killing AMERICANS. This is fact not like you by saying she burn books when she didn't then adding she is just Hitler. Your whole line of thinking is based out of a lie you are promoting. Vote because that is whats great about America, THINK FOR YOURSELF

[okiedragonlady2]

sugar booger, I am a farmer, my family was military and after I married a guy who just got out of the navy, we raised one daughter who went into the Air Force. I worked for years as a secretary and changed jobs to make more money and never lived off the gov. I bettered myself by going to school until I got a college degree and I have watched this gov ruin itself - Bill had sex, then Bush took us to war in Iraq when most came from Saudi - I do think for myself - I will vote for Obama.

[ekjohndeer]

Well we do have something in common we are both farmers and we will both vote ,because we can!!! Mcain/Palin 08

[okiedragonlady2]

nods my hat to you - we will vote - that is the American thing to do.

[psioniq]

Where the f*@#$ did u pull that off of. Oh and you forgot Obama is also Jesus's second cousin.
