DISQUS

Just FYI, per Snopes, the list is a fake. Palin never actually banned any books at all. She *did* ask the librarian how she would reaction if Palin asked her to remove books, and when she didn't give the right answer, Palin tried to fire her before relenting and letting the librarian keep her job.

The list that's getting sent around, though, has been circulating for about a decade and keeps getting attached to each new conservative devil that comes along.

Believe me, I can't stand Palin, and it makes me feel a bit sick that I feel like I have to almost "defend" her, but I'm also a firm believer that if we're going to defeat someone, lets do it on their own merits, you know? :D

I added an update to the top of the - I agree - I didn't want to pass off false information - I get enough of that from real world people I know forwarding me emails - the ones I actually take the time to read are almost always pointed to as false. I shouldn't have trusted Live Leaks without following up with more research.

Sometimes knee jerk reactions can lead to foot in mouth.

I didn't meant to imply that I thought you would want to pass on false info, sorry if it came off that way. But yeah, there's just way too much crap out there.

No no - I thank ou for the input - I wasn't thinking that you were thinking that I was trying to pass off false information - that wasn't what I was thinking at all ;)

I'm just abrupt sometimes and it doesn't come across right. Drives my wife nuts.
